I posted this and everyone went "Vcenter!" But it could also be Vsphere (which was the case) or Xen management tools, or KVM management tools... In other words, don't make it easy to lock your keys in the car...
I am very grateful for this US Coastguard evading tech....
Really? "OpenROV 2.2 is 300mm long, 200mm wide, and 150mm tall. It displaces approximately 2.5kg of water and has a theoretical depth capability of approximately 100m." Yep... So much better than just driving across the border...
Next, man sued for getting beer during commercials. The assertive defence is that the beer he was getting was in the commercials, but FOX claims that is a moot point. Budweiser to file amicus curiae brief. Says they do not support suing their own customers.
That remark regarding influence of the (Hover) dam is rather uninformed: the water mass trapped behind dams world wide is negligible. Obviously, I leave the math as an exercise for the reader.
So is the amount of sea level rise. But while two wrong do not make a right, to negligables do make a headline.
After a few month of usage, SSD suffer from multiple writes (to same locations) and die. (See this.) Depending on algorithms, the lifespan of a SSD varies.
So it's already here, the difference is that a regular SSD fails randomly... (and you may be able to recover some data)
That was one of the best links I have ever followed on slashdot. If only for the quote, "I use my SSD fully expecting it to fail. Just like I date crazy girls fully expecting them to stab me: Always have that backup plan!"
Considering the (mostly) invincible state of good encryption, this seems unnecessary. Sure, it is a fun idea, but not a practical one.
No encryption is invincible. Especially 5 years from now... Computing power has advanced to the point where you can just brute force "invincible encryption" from a few years back...
More importantly, the records they found at the site indicate that the Mayans viewed the calendar as CYCLICAL and just like our Bad Girls of Linux Wall Calendar, the world doesn't end when the last day of the Calendar is reached.
But the cycle is Region 4 only, so it doesn't help us in the US. (Unless you are a dirty Pirate)
If you're going to stick it in your coronary artery, your cardiologist probably wants to know that people smarter than him have spent a lot of time asking a lot of hard questions about it.
We are talking about a government agency here... Or were you going for the +5 funny?
The radiation dose from a properly functioning backscatter xray full-body scanner is about 0.6 Sv. The dose from a properly functioning chest CT scan is about 7mSv, 10000x larger.
Assuming that it is working properly. And the FDA mandates frequent testing for their machines. How about the TSA? And do they actually do it?
Are you seriously comparing full-on, bare genital contact, sexual molestation with over the clothes pat-downs performed in public spaces within sight of a parent?
I'm no fan of the TSA or their security procedures, but this kind of hyperbole doesn't help your argument. I'd much rather my children get the pat down, though each time they've flown through LAX they get sent to the old style metal detectors, while I got sent through the backscatter* (or mm-wave or whatever it is).
*Next time, I'm asking for the pat-down.
When you do not have the ability to say no, it is rape. Your argument is like saying some rape is not as bad because he used mouthwash... Irrelevant. Rape is about power, and being raped in full public view in front of your parents sounds very damaging to me.
I know... Oh, those crazy Pauls... Always coming up with those crazy political ideas. I mean just crazy, like this one. Eliminate the TSA... That's just crazy! I mean what would we... I mean, what... Uh... OK, they may not be that crazy after all.
If you still want to keep things above board (for the creators, not the leeching middlemen), just rip the disks before you watch them. Yeh, it's a good 5 minutes and a bit of a hassle, and totally illegal due to DMCA, but you never have to sit through any of the crap they shove on the disks these days again, like these warnings, trailers, or flashy menus. Obviously pirates don't have this problem.
Twenty seconds is still less than 5 minutes, but they are working on it.
This is why I do not even have a BluRay player. If I can not make it do what I want, I do not OWN it. And I don't want to pay that kind of money for someone else's box...
This is the worst sort of nonsensical argument. You equate scientific predictions of sea level rise with a sea level rise that is so large that you would be able to observe and notice it with the naked eye by casual and randomly timed observations when you go to the beach. Did you take measurements? Did you account for tide level when you were there? Were you a kid with a totally different sense of scale 30 years ago?
Actually lived on a boat at a concrete pier in Galveston for 6 years. And went to the beach a lot... It is a 45 minute drive from my part of Houston.
No scientist ever predicted a rise so large over the last 30 years that casual observation would be able to observe it. The reality is that the predicted sea level rise has matched the reality quite closely. During the last thirty years that you referenced the three-year-average sea level has risen by about 5cm.
I recall something different. Things like a 10 foot rises, and coastal cities under water. Yes, those were headlines, but so are these. And it is easy to fit models to reality when you can cherry pick them later.
The scientific predictions I am aware of predict that the rise will accelerate over the coming century. Some effects, especially big systemic effects lag behind the cause. For instance it takes time for rising CO2 to trap the amount of heat to increase average ocean temperature (which requires a gargantuan amount of energy that is really beyond most humans ability to grasp) then it takes more time for the warmer water to undermine the Antarctic and Greenland Glaciers, but if they do start to fall apart in a big way the Army Corps of Engineers will have to really scramble to keep Huston dry.
Perhaps this time they got it right... But a 30 year track record of wrong makes me sceptical. Seeing that as (Insert insult here) is somewhat disturbing.

Also, don't put the VM "control station" on the VM. You would think I wouldn't have to say this, but you would be wrong.

Then, please... DON'T FUCKING DRIVE!!!!!!!!
You didn't include the "Export HD failure" flag in your rsync command did you? Newbie mistake...

Western Digital has had self-destructing drives for years.
No, they just fail. The data is usually still they if you have the resources. The hard part is running dban on a failed hard drive.

It's mostly just the Democratic Party of the United States that is bought and paid for by Hollywood.
The No Electronic Theft Act and Digital Millennium Copyright Act were passed under a Republican-controlled House and a Republican-controlled Senate.
It shocks me that there are STILL people who believe there is any difference between them any more...
If I can go to prison for doing it to a high school girl, it is rape.

If the intent is not to deter piracy, what are they educating the public about? How to rip their disks to avoid the warning?
About how much of the worlds governments are bought and paid for by Hollywood. I think even my (proverbial) Mother will understand this one.
KDE4, Gnome3, Windows8, Vista... Sometimes change is just change, not improvement.
You're still ignoring the time frame.
70 years... No noticeable rise. Who is ignoring what again?
