Sorry; saying "No it won't", and claiming nuclear and fossil-fuel generated electricity costs more than photovoltaic just makes it appear that you are uninformed.
Solar power is tied with off-shore wind as the WORST bargain. Nuclear power is HALF the cost of photovoltaic.
Levelized total cost per kWh, based on 2016 technology and economy: Natural gas 6.3-12.5 Hydro 8.6 ON-LAND wind 9.7 Geothermal 10.2 Biomass 11.3 Advanced nuclear 11.4 Coal 9.5-13.6 Photovoltaic 21.1 OFF-SHORE wind 24.3 Solar thermal 31.2
This includes amortization of the capital cost, plus operating cost: fuel, maintenance, and general operating expense.
Um, because hardware evolves. Before too long nobody will have XP drivers for any hardware that is being manufactured. Compatible hardware will gradually cease to be available. Ever try to find a working MFM hard drive to put in that original IBM PC with MS-DOS? How about a Soundblaster card which is the only sound hardware that a lot of DOS games supported?
The internet is populated by two kinds of users. People who get it, and stupid clueless losers. Always has been. Only now, the stupid clueless losers have their own walled garden: Facebook. So now the stupid clueless users are not forced to get a clue and use real tools, however poorly. They are free to become even more clueless day by day while using the abortion Facebook.
The ghost of the Kripo (Kriminalpolizei - the criminal police department) of the Third Reich tells you to be not so sure. Even before they came organizationally under the control of the RSHA (Reichssicherheitshauptamt - the Reich main security office) as a branch alongside the SD and Gestapo - even before that, they had long been urging preventive action (think concentration camp) against the "habitual criminals". The distinction between Gestapo and Kripo was in practice blurred. There was in actuality a shadow chain of command separate from the paper one. Heydrich corrupted the Kripo; drained their scruples by providing increased power and finances.
An internal Gestapo report of 1937 complained "The Gestapo profession is not popular with the man in the street and is frequently the target of direct attacks in the press", but the Kripo had "full understanding and recognition from the public". So the Kripo was subverted. Acting in concert they could get all desired things done.
To answer your objection, of course Jack is not sent on the detail that arrests Jack's mother; he goes on the detail to arrest George's mother, and vice versa.
You also assume that the police will always be on the side of the government. I don't care who pays me, I'm not killing my grandma!
You left out the fact that it also tipped the scales leading to the complete, irrecoverable ruination of the domestic economy. While I agree it's not clear who if anyone might have "won", it's VERY clear who lost.
Nineteen hijackers and a couple of middle-aged rich kids with daddy issues managed to drag hundreds of thousands of highly-trained military personnel and a couple trillions dollars into a ten-year conflict that killed thousands of people, sent one country back to the stone age, destabilized another, and undermined the basic constitutional underpinnings of the most powerful country on Earth. And it still isn't even clear who "won." I don't think you can predict these sort of things based purely on the number of things or people on each side.
Do NOT underestimate the training hammered into the members of the US military. They are so inculcated with submission to "legitimate civil authority" that they will by and large carry out any orders issued by the emperor^H^H^W president, via the chain of command. Heck, the strategic missile forces have been rigorously trained to carry out orders to blot out an entire foreign nation, even if that were to surely mean destruction of their own nation as a consequence.
And do I have to remind you of May 4, 1970, Kent State? Those weren't even highly trained elite forces. They were just National Guardsmen. And it wasn't just a handful of bullets fired; after a Sergeant opened fire with his.45, 29 of 77 guardsmen fired a total of 67 rounds, killing 4 and wounding 9.
Maybe you think we live in a completely different nation as compared to 1970. I don't think so. Since 9/11, the level of paranoia in our national government, filtering down through the ranks, has surged out of control.
Also understand that the US military is made up of volunteer civilians. Sure, some in the US military will be willing to fire on US citizens, but I seriously doubt that number will be more than half. While I don't expect a lot of grunts shooting their officers, I would expect an awful lot to not return from guard duty.
OK, technically fsck is run after power fail or CPU lockup, or after a certain number of mounts (think 30), or after a certain time interval (think 6 months) following the last fsck. However, for ext3 and ext4, fsck just uses the journal to recover and the time required is extremely short, so one never notices. What I call the "real" exhaustive fsck is only run if fsck "finds" that it is really needed. It's been so long since I have used any partition without journaling, or since a "real" fsck has been required on one of my journaled partitions, that I tend to regard "real" fsck'ing as a relic that doesn't happen any more.
I have sixteen 2 TB partitions and a bunch of lesser ones in regular use, all of them ext3 or ext4, and have NEVER noticed any appreciable slowdown in booting.
No, actually his translation was NOT wrong. It is stupid to claim his translation is "wrong". The word used translates directly to "explode". And even if you judge the nuance to mean the idiom "blow away", he says "we" are going to blow away "ACN" by name, not "the competition". And you should note that French speakers have posted here that they have never seen the term used in this idiomatic way.
exploser, verb: explode, blow up, detonate, go off, flame
It would be only prudent to want to interview this individual, talk to his colleagues, and maybe investigate his background. I think a simple friendly invitation to a short non-confrontational interview was warranted, but an arrest presuming guilty intention was not, absent the development of further evidence, and certainly accusing the wife's husband of terrorism was not. I would say that the remedy he is seeking makes sense.
Your translation is wrong. As the article points out directly below the text message: [google.com]
If the only thing holding back looting was the repressive horror of the Saddam regime, that doesn't say much about how the cradle of civilization has fallen.
It hurts. I know it hurts. But exactly what did you expect, voting for a big government tyrant to follow another big government tyrant? Everything was on the table in plain view before Bush won election, and everything was on the table in plain view before Obama won election.
My sincere advice is to try not to read EVERYTHING ideologically. I speak from experience.
Nobody is "bragging" about anything in either the post or the reference. It's a point of data analysis which not many are aware of. It's a truth. That is all.
We have a health care problem. A health SYSTEM problem. Neither party has done anything to fundamentally improve it. Not the recent 100% Democrat health care monstrosity, and certainly not the Republican or bipartisan prescription drug program or anything else which preceded it.
The poor having more and more of their economic gains eaten up by the rising cost of benefits -- while what they actually get from those benefits stagnates -- is *not* something to brag about. That's just more money creeping from the powerless to the powerful.
Your explicit salary has increased more slowly than executive salaries. Your total compensation, factoring in health benefits (provided you're not a top-decile earner) has increased more quickly than executive compensation.
+1, informative, and a very good find. Readers, scroll down to "Wage Inequality" in the reference.
Exactly correct. Free enterprise is not the same as capitalism. And corporations, which cannot exist without government sanction, are the antithesis of true free enterprise.
Readers, check out distributism. "According to distributism, the ownership of the means of production should be spread as widely as possible among the general populace, rather than being centralized under the control of the state (state socialism) or a few large businesses or wealthy private individuals (laissez-faire capitalism). A summary of distributism is found in Chesterton's statement: 'Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists.'"
The only thing I would fix in that summary is "laissez-faire capitalism," which should read "state supported capitalism," where state support in the form of laws without which capitalism cannot succeed in taking over a society, is essential to the capitalism.
Think carefully before you scoff at the idea that individual enterprise, with the assistance of guilds, and obviously entailing cooperative effort where necessitated by the scale of the enterprise, is not capable of replacing, and indeed yielding superior economic results, not to mention liberty and personal fulfillment, as compared to either capitalism or socialism.
"Chesterton" refers to an early 20th century social genius, G. K. Chesterton. See What's Wrong with the World; it's free read. Try not fixating on "Catholic" as you read it; I find it is entirely inessential to the insight there presented.
We can't get a public fiber network because that's a little to communistic (and I'm basically OK with that as long as the only barrier to entry is capital)

The portion of hard drive selling price due to the wages of the final assembly line workers is not 100%. Not even close.
Situation normal. Absolutely normal. This is the way capitalism works.
Yes, it's about US10c/GB over here. And that's down from anywhere 20C/GB and up at the height of the gouging. Cheers.

It's BECAUSE he's tempting fate by using RAID0 that he is paranoid. RAID0 is like throwing the middle finger at fate while doing a jig.
If you were really paranoid, you would not use RAID 0. Or are you a lazy paranoid?

You must not have checked recently. Both ext3 and ext4 just recover by replaying the journal after a power loss. No fsck is "required".
I have approximately 36 TB on my active systems. This stuff is significant to me right now.
