...my co-worker was instructed to send a 36MB core dump file by email to our supervisor. For whatever reason, he accidentally sent the email to everyone in the division... my co-worker was let go when a round of layoffs came. But, very surprisingly, he was hired back the administrator to work in the IT department.
Installing it on your parent's computer. Installing it on your sister's computer. Installing it on your work PC... and so on.
Repeat when a new version is released.
You're forgetting about the fact that transmission involves a lot of stepping up and down, and that's why AC wins.
No I'm not. You're not paying attention to what's being said.
(when it makes enough of a difference, you can convert the AC to DC before and after that particular transmission line).
Well done, that's exactly what I'm saying. I never said DC is the one true way to distribute power. When you've got a bloody long run without lots of taps along the way, DC pays its way.
Exactly, that's how the Mr Plow episode starts. Homer drives home drunk while it's snowing, and rear ends someone. Getting out of his car, he realises he's already at home, and has just written off his own and Marge's car.
Exactly, very long distance runs, where it actually becomes cost effective to convert to and from DC just for transmission. You're able to cram more current across the conductors than with AC, and it gets to a point the spending a million at each end for the DC conversion is cheaper than the three million you'd spend on heavier cable.
We use it in New Zealand to carry power from the hydroelectric-rich South Island up to the heavily populated North Island.
Sure, you've only found a few instances where DC transmission is used, and there'd be no point in me trying to find more just to prove it to you. You surely don't think the places that DO use it, only do so out of stupidity? I'm sure you don't. They're all cases of where it's more worthwhile to spend money on expensive endpoints rather than more on heavier cable.
Hi Steve,
I never said it was better for distribution *all round*, and I'm sure I don't need to quote myself. I was rebutting that you were saying that DC distribution is basically out of the question. It does have its uses, which are:
Connection of unsyncronised grids
More effient carriage over very long distances.

Because, and in case this "news" hasn't made it obvious, Symantec is *fucking stupid*. It needs a special place in the hall of shame for being a piece of crap that supposedly keeps you secure, yet opens an attack channel in the process.
No, YOU are wrong. It's not DC that's inefficent for distribution, it's LOW VOLTAGE. For long runs, transmitting DC is viable and actually more efficient.
Just because it's not a person doesn't mean you shouldn't buckle it in. If you're in a crash, or leave the road and start to roll, that gas bottle for your BBQ is going to start pissing you off real fast.
EVERYTHING in a car that weight 1kG or more should be on the floor, in the boot, or buckled in. For years I've yelled at my wife for always having a reference book or two on the rear parcel tray. She wondered why it wound me up so much. One day we had to brake suddenly for a sui-cyclist who turned in front of me.
Of course, now she's got the benefit of hindsight as to why I was always so insistent not cluttering the cabin with shit that keeps going 100km/hr when you stop.

Appropriate punishment.

I'll bet you're lots of fun at parties!

And it is done. Megavolt DC transmission lines exist all over the place. Check your facts. And 20kV is barely high voltage, let along very high.
Yes, I'm sure there's nothing in his house (or yours) except motors and lightbulbs...
Great work, guys, fucking great.

So in addition to his point: The 'joke' needs to die. To reiterate his well put point, the death of the astronaughts should not be ridiculed.
Our tech-support team won't know where to turn, now, apart from skipping straight to re-installation.
I disagree. Joe Sixpack thinks anything that he can't understand is an 'innovation' and represents an extreme advancement of technology.
*choke* *ghack*
So true. Sooo True.
Your English is shocking! It's:
"How are you, vendor! All version are have the same base"
Yeah, it's about the same here in New Zealand, except our chicks are much hotter.

Huh! 35 years, and countless baths eh?
Turn in your geek-card, you don't belong here.
Now there's a thought.

I'll bet the first hit's free, too!
Says the AC...
