Ever hear of energy storage? You can pump water uphill, you can use molten salt to hold heat for days, there are quite efficient large scale batteries, or even pumping air into caves. The reality is nuclear is probably cheaper than all that, and is far better than the next most likely solution which is coal.
Making up Glen Beck-like bullshit like "You can't expect to shut the country down on calm/cloudy days." is as annoying and pointless as when he does it. There are great arguments for nuclear, adding talking headish crap like this just makes anyone supporting you cause look as stupid as that statement.
Yet, the quality of CM7 is leaps and bounds beyond that of the 2.2 rom on the droid.
Your suggest QA system is one designed for ass covering, not results. This is because CYA is far more important in the corporate world than have the best outcome possible.
Are you high? Nintendo won in sales in a big way. PS3 is the runner up and Xbox360 might pay for itself. It still will not pay for the xbox debt, nor are its world wide sales figures that good.
Sounds like inflated head count troubles. IT manager has too many bodies so he needs to find a way to pay them. That is when you get extra bodies in meetings and crazy prices for low speed storage.
So in every other market there are buying like me, but not in electronics?
By the way, if you have never had pork that was raised the old fashioned way it is really great. Even better if they use a heritage breed. I highly suggest everyone seek out a farmer and buy a whole hog or split one with a neighbor.
No way, labor prices are just not that high. The Asus transform is 399 and better than an ipad 2 spec wise. Asus can't keep them in stock. Your fanboism is showing.
I was replying to gnasher719 who was suggesting that since we have 4000 accidental work related deaths in the USA clearly the Chinese are doing just fine when it comes to worker safety.
He is either being disingenuous or is a moron.
It is possible that while I appear to have replied to the correct post slashdot is once again broken. I am using the classic view though.
I can get you 1TB, on 10GbE for less than that, so long as you are ok sharing the backing disks, which are only 10k rpm. Obviously you don't get your own sysadmin or anything fancy for those prices. Over iscsi so you can use whatever encryption you want, we are just presenting a raw 1TB target. Or for another reasonable fee we do all the mounting and encryption as well, still ain't gonna get $50k. If you don't have much churn backups are included. If you are replacing the whole 1TB daily it could get expensive to backup, add in maybe $10k worst case. Still not hitting $50k.
Maybe that much if you want your own set of disks, churn the whole 1TB per day and need them to be 15k. Comes with the 10GbE cards for the current servers your department owns. Yearly fee is going to be near nothing as well as long as you are ok sharing disks in the future.
Yet, still I have internal users bitch about my pricing. Which is funny when they try to outsource stuff and end up coming back and paying me what I asked for in the first place.
They could use another vendor if they did not like the way foxconn does business. I wish we knew which of these electronics OEMS ( foxconn, MSI, etc, not integrators like Apple) had the best labor practices. I would be sure to buy their products.
The Ford Focus is a high-end car? Is the Ford Feista a high-end car?
Cars are assembled closer to delivery points so they can be tailored for that market. The VW fox was designed for the South American market and is imported to Europe. Not because it is cheap, the Golf is produced in Germany. This because that is where the factory for them was built, since it was designed for the South American market. Imports to Europe came about after the car was a success in South America.
Yes, accidents do happen, but conditions change the rates quite dramatically. More than 100,000 Chinese people died in work related accidents every year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7201875.stm
Even if we say China has 4 times as many people, that only accounts for 16k deaths a year. Not even a quarter of the total.
You are either being disingenuous intentionally, or are a complete moron, which is it?
I have worked in similar conditions and had to teach some nice Indian fellows how to make and use client side certs. Ended up basically doing for them. Their company had proposed using it for a job they were doing for a big box vendor we have as a customer. When they won the bid our customer, the big box, came to use and paid us to support this new marvel of security. As it turns out all the Indian contractors are swapped out so quickly the ones who bid knew how to do this and their replacements did not. I did not find this out until after had one of those "No, problem on your side" events you described.
How about instead of feeling useless guilt, you just be willing to pay a couple bucks more. Now point in feeling bad, just agree that you will be willing to toss in $5 extra for the Nook2 so these folks don't have to live like this.
Bullshit, automation would be used if they could not exploit these folks. House sizes might shrink a little, but computers are cheap to make via automated processes. The models might change less often due to setup costs though.
It would not cost anywhere near that much extra. Germans still make cars, reasonable priced ones. They have much higher labor rates than even Americans. Paying line workers is just not that big a cost in such an operation. I bet they save more than the labor savings just on being able to dump whatever they want into the environment.
Either way, there is no reason why these products could not be built in China by 40 hour per week, well paid workers in safe working conditions. The ipad 3 might cost a whole $10 extra of you did that.
I would be more than willing to pay 20% more, which is what one would be expecting based on other goods. I would even guess that at that point more automation would be used. Taco bell at least at one point was paying 1 cent per pound extra on tomatoes which resulted in farm workers nearly doubling their take home pay.
Please tell me where I can spend my money to ensure I get "fair trade" computer components. I already buy first world made clothes, food made with the least amount of animal cruelty (I even have met the pigs on occasion) and try to ensure my coffee and chocolate are not supplied by those using slaves. I want to buy what you claim has no market, I am only waiting to find out where.
Add in lack of choice. I have a ps3, I got it for free. I don't use PSN and only play single player. I will continue to buy games because I will not buy anything MS. I use wine for gaming as well, and have a wii. When the Fallout NV game of the year edition comes out I will get that. I will not buy DLC that will go away when they close the service though.
First thing you should do is disable remote root login. Sudo motherfuckers, use it. If the logwatch server shows me you ran sudo su - , you get a swift fucking beating.
The deltas are stored with the fulls. All on the same device. Many of those devices exist. I can pull one of any of 30 tapes right now and get that days full and the files that changed going back 30 days. Before you ask those are just the dailies, there are also monthlies, quarterlies and yearlies, those each go on 4 tapes so I can lose 3 of them.
Even if on every one of those tapes the base full was gone, I would have every file that changed. The whole file is recorded if it changed, meaning since these backups go back for years I could still get damn near all the data. To be that bad off though something would have to damage 100+ tapes. Most of those being inside an underground vault, which sounds cool but is really just an old bank.
Using rsnapshot each device having full + delta(whole that changed file, not just the part that changed) is the standard practice. You make some rather poor assumptions, clearly from lack of information.
If your aunt is running NTbackup to the same device over and over she is going to be very sad when it fails. Also make sure that device is off site.

It is below the Mason-Dixon line. That means it is in the South.

So buy a nexus. I have an OG Droid, no exploit needed to flash a new rom.
Ever hear of the amazon market?
Are you high?
Nintendo won in sales in a big way. PS3 is the runner up and Xbox360 might pay for itself. It still will not pay for the xbox debt, nor are its world wide sales figures that good.
Cheap?
You have to pay a monthly fee to use the damn thing. Even when PSN was down netflix worked fine on my ps3 and without me paying sony.
