1 not at the same place as the other 2.
Current corporate entity backs up to a Separate SAN and then the SAN to tape, tapes go away and rotated on a yearly basis.
this has nothing to do with "explosives" or "terrorists" . This is all to allow the TSA and their owners, Homeland Security, unfettered access to your laptop so they can "inspect" it without you having to consent to it.
This doesn't work for all shows, the disaster that was the shortened season 2 of Heroes that they never managed to write their way out of in the following seasons. The writers lost their momentum and the show suffered for it.
Daily Tech News Show, This Week in Tech, Cordkillers, Security Now, Current Geek, NPR ( Ask me another and wait wait ), Sword and Laser, The Morning Stream, MacBreak Weeky, Polyamory Weekly, Strange Love seem to all rotate fairly rapidly, I keep promising myself to get back to Welcome to Nightvale, but after 18months it is a bit intimidating
Not proprietary, though netware is no longer supported, there's not a lot to go wrong, and some boxes had epic uptimes, as in never died, never rebooted. We had one that the only reason it completely went down was a catastrophic power loss (both PDUs lost power at the same time) . Its uptime was over a decade with over 50 users still accessing every day.
All that being said, anything that's still running 24 years after initial boot is impressive and worthy of note. NOTHING running windows would have done that. Perhaps something running on an IBM "z" series could. Given that my IT career began in 91, I'm lucky to be running this long without a reboot.
yep, esp with the Roku4 and the new interface for plex. It's the default app on my Roku, would be the only one if they could get the plugins for netflix and Amazon working again
and if it looks like something from idiocracy or the 90's news app "Pointcast" , where the viewable area of the screen is surrounded by blocks of ads with only a small window in the middle with actual content?
no thanks, and good day Sir,....I said GOOD DAY SIR!
It's a poor way to store energy the same way nuclear power is a very expensive way to boil water.
Fusion is our best bet, our science isn't there yet. Hydrogen can replace hydrocarbons, eliminating reliance on fossil fuels in the near term long before we master cold fusion, matter/anti-matter or (insert random scifi power source) to replace it. If goal is permanent cheap power? it's a not yet result. To remove our dependence and trashing of the environment as well as producing clean water as a side effect? hydrogen is the way to go, for now
wasn't interested in the Apple Watch last year, still am not interested, and I'm their demographic. I own many apple products and have disposable income. I just have no interest in ANY watch, let alone one that bugs the hell out of me because I told it to do so.
This is a new trend, not educating fetuses, but allowing parents to register their kids for the school as soon as the parents know the kid is coming. This has been happening in several "private" schools for years. It's to reserve a spot in a competitive school. This is the same nonsense that Manhattan pre schools use now in advertisements where they say XX% of our students go on to Ivy League or something similarly silly. More fuel for the hype train. 700 kids? drop in the bucket, want to do real good? Put the schools like this is one of the states where education is a complete failure and give the parents an honest opportunity to get a good education for their kids. Palo Alto spends over 14K per student per year.... put this somewhere where they spend 2K per student per year
It took that long? this means this bozo had a loaded gun next to him (around his kids) and was able to pick it up , sight it in , and discharge his firearm (around his kids) rather quickly.
Do not fly news helicopters anywhere near this dude.

I actually prefer the circles model, I can post adult things without my parents and children seeing, geeky stuff that the Mrs doesn't want to see, etc. The granular audience works better for me. The communities tend to be fairly stable and spam free
There are some days I really hate living here. This is a morals tale like Short Circuit. Ih I had known the bot was here I would have driven it around for few days and maybe have turned it over to my ingress brethren to get it on it's way... farking arse holes....

Pulp Administrator, With apologies to QT and SLJ
Do you read assembly language, Brad? There's a few lines of Code I've got memorized
EBIDIC 9D5:
"The path of the Network Administrator is beset upon all sides by the inequities of the ignorant hacker and the tyranny of jackass users.
Blessed is he who, in the name of file retention and network security, shepherds the newbie through the darkness of the Internet.
For he is truly his users administrator and the finder of lost files.
And I will strike down upon keys with great vengance and furious deletion those who would attempt to poison and destroy my network.
And you will know I am root when I lay my lockout upon thee."
I been typin' that shit for years.
And if you read it, it meant your ass.
I never really gave much thought about what it meant 'till just now.
I just thought it was just some cold-blooded shit to IM to user before I locked his ass out of the network.
But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice.
Now I'm thinkin', it could mean you're the jackass user.
And I'm the Administrator.
And Mr. PalmPilot here, he's the shepherd protecting my Administrator account in the darkness of the Internet.
Or it could be, you're the Administrator, and I'm the shepherd, and it's the Internet that's an ignorant jackass.
I'd like that.
But that shit ain't the truth.
The truth is...
(he levels the PalmPilot and speaks deliberately)
You're the weak
And I am the tyranny of jackass users.
But I'm tryin' Brad, I'm tryin' real hard, to be a shepherd.
the cattling of economy class, the security theater, the inconvenience of the current airport experience has gotten me to the point that if a destination is less than 10 hrs by car, I'll drive rather than fly. Between the delays of getting to the airports 90 to 120 minutes prior to the flight, the inevitable delays, it just makes more sense to drive it rather than fly for me
Suse used Mono in SLED 9-11 from several things, but specifically Novell's ifolder implementation. With SLED 12, mono is no longer available. Considering that Suse/Novell used to employ the most of the mono team. but no longer, it may be obvious that this is a dead end
Like XP, and NT and 2K before them, They've been in battle for over a decade, being attacked, patched, attacked, Service Packed. Not invulnerable because nothing is, but 2K3 is better than it was, that being said, having a Windows box exposed to the internet with no protection is flat out silly. Right tool, right job. Using a windows 2003 server to serve webpages on the internet is like using a 6 yr old to direct traffic. All the requisite parts are there, but the execution isn't the best.

isn't this why the apple iphone didn't have an app store at first? because Jobs envisioned it as a web device not an app device?
