Uh.. You know democrats voted overwhelmingly for patriot and its renewals (under obama as well), right? Patriot was a 'reaching across the aisle' moment.
1. the crawlspace needs to be moderate in temperature and relatively dry. Deserts, tundras and saunas are best avoided.
2. You'll want a UPS if this thing's going to have a RAID storage setup. A RAID is not a backup. If it is very large, you'll want some way of storing at least one backup offsite that doesn't involve your internet connection. A safety deposit box works well. I know someone who just duplicates his array to a second set of disks once a month. If he's not doing the backup the disks are in the safety deposit box.
3. Hi res media? You'll want wired gigabit connectivity (or better for the backbone) if you plan on a lot of simultaneous HD. Some here will state that wireless 11ac/ad is good enough for everything but that really depends on the area you live and how your home is constructed. Firmware,driver and hardware combinations can also be issues. Plan for both, but a wire provides much more consistent performance which is important when viewing is the primary activity (ie the big screens).
4. You might consider two separate boxes, one for the system and one for the drives depending on the size of your space. This would make the backup plan a lot easier. Typical connectivity is done with e-sata. I suppose usb3 would work alright too.
I didn't cover every detail but this is how I'd approach it generally.
No, capitalism doesn't guarantee anything. I don't know why people think it does. It does provide opportunity for individuals to configure their lives to maximize their strengths, but that requires a society that isn't conditioned with a 'feed it to me through a needle' mentality. Unfortunately, in the US at least, there's a strong push from the left to do just that. Capitalism is not a panacea but it is a lot better than '5 year plans', 75% income taxes, runaway deficits, and childish definitions of equality enforced with perverse, hypocritical 'social justice'.
Theoretically, the reason the officers of a company are paid a lot is that they're taking most of the risk. They make the big decisions. If the company fails due to their decisions, so do the jobs of those laborers working for them. Unfortunately, there's a lot of crony capitalism nowadays, that undermines this process. The powerful get their golden parachutes, usually because the justice system is picking winners and losers (so much for equality before the law).
If we swap the corporation out for the state, we subject the laborers to even less autonomy because the state now has majority control over their lives, including things like imprisonment and seizure of property for noncompliance of ever growing lists of micromanagement, something the average employer cannot do. It's human nature to leverage control in one area to gain it in another, so it's not wise to have any one organization have it all. I find it interesting that the left complains about monopolies, yet supports building the biggest monopoly possible: state owned industry.
I don't argue for anarcho capitalism, but charging someone 50k for a speeding ticket just because he makes millions reeks of insecure jealousy. Instead of stealing his money, why not just make him wait? Better yet, if speeding is pervasive in a truly unsafe area, design the roads such that people can drive faster, since that's what the people want. I would, with hesitation, call this a 'productive progressive' attitude instead of the punitive attitude most of them take.
Yes, well, the fact is, most accomplishments that society values involve a lot of backbreaking labor and sacrifice. If you don't like people getting rich, stop paying them money for things they make. Of course, this will discourage many from making, and they will go somewhere where they can maximize return on effort (of any kind, not just cash). Finland should drop the jealousy. It serves no one.
Yes, but most infractions are done by people with average cars because they're late. The rich guy with sports car is quite rare compared to the average toyota.
No. I'm moderated troll by left leaning readers when I criticize 'progressive' policies. In 'progressive' societies, they love punishing people for individual initiative if it gives them an advantage, hence laws like this.
No one should be fined thousands for going 10 over the speed limit. The punishment doesn't fit the crime, regardless of how much you make. The issue isn't about money, it's about time after all. Why drive fast? Because you're late, not because you're rich.
Honestly, using speed as the primary factor for 'driving safely' is part of the problem. Of course, it really isn't about safety at all, but about revenue.
4. Don't forget the latency and legacy directx issues caused by the always-on dwm. There are kludgy work arounds like using application compatibility toolkit to turn on certain shims, but even those break once multiple monitors are enabled. The only way to enable multiple monitors and have these applications work is to kill the dwm entirely, which is a massive kludge that breaks things like task manager and the login screen.
5. The new interface doesn't allow adjusting window size attributes. It won't even let you set the title text to a light color when the bar is a dark one. Also the current theme is terrible. I'd like the classic win2k look back (with its explorer because of its capabilities, and configuration flexibility). I realize some find that ugly too, but the current design is worse than that.
As far as I know, these were not addressed in the current windows 10 builds.
Who are you to say what is hopeless and what isn't? Unwillingness? How about an unwillingness to deal with the problem. To most people, the appearance of solving it is all that matters, so these would-be suicides just end up locked up and drugged in mental 'hospitals' or in section 8 housing where they fester in their misery (but yay we saved them!). It's like the old soviet union: they were so intent on keeping people in the country to maintain appearances of a healthy society that they were less motivated to fix the problems that were causing people to leave. If we had the tech to fix those who are neurologically ill, then you might have a point, but we don't. A lot of these treatments are hardly better than dentistry in the 1800s. Until then, it is self centered to force people to live when they don't wish to, for whatever reason. It might be sad to see people make that choice, but it should still be their choice.
Give me a break. This has nothing to do with guns, unless of course you plan to include bridges, knives, cars, drugs, razor blades, and tall buildings, ie pretty much anything. You know, people who want to kill themselves often wish to because they lack agency and autonomy in their lives. All this article's solution does is force them to fester in their misery. That's torture. A world sterilized to the point where it 'prevents' suicides by forcing miserable people to deal with hopeless situations is not a nice place for anyone to live in. I still vote for individual freedom and autonomy over my life, even if it means that a few more people decide to end theirs. It's their choice, just like it's mine to continue living.
It's interesting that the left has this obsession with preempting risk by clamping down on agency yet supports dr assisted suicide. Apparently, it's ok to kill yourself as long as it's for an approved reason. Now that is sick.
dunno.. You'd have to ask those in governments and institutions when they'll get tired of it. I'm not the one doing the oppressing. You'd have to talk to organizations like NOW, planned parenthood, the KKK, and the NAACP.
and then get fired for not having a place to properly eat, sleep, and bathe yourself before showing up? Never mind a house, a studio apartment is tough to nearly impossible to maintain at $14 an hour.
My experience is the people hiring for tech jobs now either:
A. Offer shit pay for crazy hours and expectations. B. Expect to pay unlivable wages under the guise of 'saturation' and then bitch they need more h1-bs. C. Expect conformance with hipster ideals/opinions/politics. Hipsters are a pain to manage, but even worse to work for. D. Frankly, aren't worth working for. This includes things like those manufactured corporate cultures (open offices, chaotic group work sessions designed by people who aren't engineers, buzzword infested behavioral expectations), esp the ones that push particular brands of politics as components.
Not a troll because I'm not trying to incite anger. I get labeled as such by moderators who don't have rational counters.
Yeah, meanwhile, feminists like oprah, the loons on the 'view', and race baiters like al sharpton are in front of the cameras generalizing and stereotyping their targets for all to see in public view. Which is worse? I don't have issue with neocons being called out for bigotry, but the left seems to think it is exempt from the same criticism. The only thing worse than a racist is one who accuses others of the same.

Sure. There's always something more that could be done.
Some suggestions:

Yeah but will the drivers handle exceptions gracefully
The bios doesn't support input functionality. Though it is true that many access the port IO directly, bypassing the firmware entirely.
This is not a troll. This is humor that makes a good point. Finding a good mechanical keyboard is a search away.

No, instead, hard work and ability gets you the ire of society.
With all the search boxes plastered all over to compensate for broken design, we might as well go back to a shell as the default interface.

Sign me up!
You could do that without subsidies?
Shit. That's what I was doing wrong. I alwasy wanted to live the chinese /indian/hellhole sardine can lifestyle.
dunno.. You'd have to ask those in governments and institutions when they'll get tired of it. I'm not the one doing the oppressing. You'd have to talk to organizations like NOW, planned parenthood, the KKK, and the NAACP.
yet your statement contains no arguments for or against.. just a bunch of name calling.

Was galileo an asshat when he confronted the church? At the time, most would've said yes. This does not make him so.
I'm not defending christians here, I'm attacking hypocrisy, and right now, the left has that in spades when it comes to 'social justice.'
Not a troll because I'm not trying to incite anger. I get labeled as such by moderators who don't have rational counters.
