The law is broken. Companies are just legal-spamming us to death hoping we donâ(TM)t have the time to read things. Current estimates are in the order of 60 days per year spent reading EULAs *if* we were actually reading them...nobody has time in the average 100 hour work week to actually do that.
...At 8:05 a.m., the midnight shift supervisor initiated the drill by placing a call to the day shift warning officers, pretending to be U.S. Pacific Command. The supervisor played a recorded message over the phone. The recording began by saying “exercise, exercise, exercise,” language that is consistent with the beginning of the script for the drill. After that, however, the recording did not follow the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency’s standard operating procedures for this drill. Instead, the recording included language scripted for use in an Emergency Alert System message for an actual live ballistic missile alert. It thus included the sentence “this is not a drill.” The recording ended by saying again, “exercise, exercise, exercise.” Three on-duty warning officers in the agency’s watch center received this message, simulating a call from U.S. Pacific Command on speakerphone.
According to a written statement from the day shift warning officer who initiated the alert, as relayed to the Bureau by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, the day shift warning officer heard “this is not a drill” but did not hear “exercise, exercise, exercise.” According to the written statement, this day shift warning officer therefore believed that the missile threat was real. At 8:07 a.m., this officer responded by transmitting a live incoming ballistic missile alert to the State of Hawaii. The day shift warning officer used software to send the alert. Specifically, they selected the template for a live alert from a drop-down menu containing various live- and test- alert templates. The alert origination software then prompted the warning officer to confirm whether they wanted to send the message. The prompt read, “Are you sure that you want to send this Alert?” Other warning officers who heard the recording in the watch center report that they knew that the erroneous incoming message did not indicate a real missile threat, but was supposed to indicate the beginning of an exercise. Specifically, they heard the words: “exercise, exercise, exercise.” The day shift warning officer seated at the alert origination terminal, however, reported to the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency after the event their belief that this was a real emergency, so they clicked “yes” to transmit the alert.
I used to have an old Ubuntu File Server using SAMBA and I kept having issues with it (turns out the drives themselves were just crap and kept corrupting.) Then I moved to a pretty decent NAS unit but when the 4TB drives were released I ordered all new drives and it couldn't recognize any of them. (and there were no updates available for it so I ate that loss.) Then I picked up a Drobo 4 or 5 bay unit hella cheap from a going out of business sale and it died and took all my data with it...
I finally came to the conclusion that I haven't really ever had any luck with dedicated storage devices in general so now I just load up each new system with as much storage as possible and use PowerShell scripts I've set up in task scheduler to automagically synch the data between all my computers so if one goes down I have the data on another.
I went a little overboard last night with this order and added four HGST 8TB drives, a Samsung 960 EVO 500GB M.2 for the boot drive, (8) blue Corsair ML120 Pro fans (for the Intel system and (8) Red ML120 Pro fans for the 1600X to the list above when I ordered it all this morning. (and since the AMD system is going to need more USB ports than the TaiChi has I swapped that board out on my order and got an ASUS ROG Hero VI X370. I also bought a Toshiba RD400 PCIe Card that comes with a 256GB M.2 SSD on it which I plan to use for my Path of Exile installation
It upped the cost significantly (total system cost is now $2913 ) but I should be set for a while.(I hope)
The motherboard choice is kinda funny (at least to me) because my Intel 4770K system is also on an Asus ROG Hero VI board, too.
It's the 3200Mhz RAM from GSkill. I originally wanted some Corsair Vengeance DDR4 but I've heard it has issues running at 3200Mhz with the Asrock X370 boards. (which is kind of odd since it's listed on Asrock's QVL list as compatible)
I originally had that case in my cart but decided to go with the other one since it will hold both systems and all the drives I have in them (I have 8 in my current system and will ultimately have another 6 in the Ryzen, so I need at least 14 bays. That case you linked is a seriously beautiful case though...
I was going to get the 1800X initially but, with the debut of the refreshed lineup, I decided to get the 1600X now and upgrade later this year to a "refreshed" CPU if it's warranted.
I'm really looking forward to putting together the system this weekend. It "feels" like it's been years since I last built a system...
Oh...the Core W200 case can also use a second "pedestal" case underneath it so I decided to turn the knob to 11 and get it too, lol. It's gonna be ~$700 total for the case alone but it should last me for the rest of my life, lol.

This will let me put both my computers in one case. I'll have my 4770K-based system for 3D Design and 3D Printing and my 1600X based system for my HTPC and Oculus Rift
Oh...and using the Univac CP-642B from my first duty station...the one with the Front panel of Control registers where we entered the boot strap sequence in assembly code so it could go out and access the 7-track tape unit with the System Control Program(SCP) tape and load up the OS we used at the time.

Thousands of employees resigned from their employer because of policies they don't agree with.
No news at 11 because this is just another day.
You forgot the "Coo! Coo!"
"Defacative Keyboard" and it seems to mean the same thing.
It displays a pop-up stating "You ARRRRGH infected, matey"
And then patent a 3000 mile long extension cord
Based on what's been released over the last 2 decades a brain damaged goat who shits on the movie titles would do a better job.
He should just claim he has Asperger's and can't travel to England
Except for conifers, as found at higher latitudes, like where the ship is head.

Might I recommend the Trident TVGA 8900C?

Buy now.
I'm dropping $1600+ on a new Ryzen 5 1600x based system this week as well (Technically, it's $1100 for the system and $549 for the case)
