Uh the big red button is/used to be to pause a halon dump. There is no big red button in the dc. The switch is on the UPS before the bypass. And that is some scary shit to switch. The last time I switched the bypass manually I did it with a hockey stick (like that would have helped).
A trademark usage by someone other than the owner is legally and monetarily injurious. This has been demonstrated time and time again in court.
You do not have a right to use someone's art or likeness thereof for your own designs, if it infringes on an actively used trademark.
Pokemon is an actively defended and pursued and most importantly monetized trademark. If nintendo does not sue, the trademark could be voided. They are obligated to protect their investment.
Ok, I have over a decade of experience working in archival, and another as professional sysadmin.
Day to day I don't use optical anymore, except for throwaway install support of older systems without useful usb drives.
That said, how does someone lose that much data as in summary after 4 years? BY ARCHIVING LIKE AN IDIOT. It's okay to use optical as a straight up filesystem backup, but as soon as you introduce a depenency on the next disk to recover, you are fucked. NO ONE in backups does this. Each tape is a straight up HW compressed archive of the files, raw. No spanning. EVER. We will actually change a tape (well the robot will) and not fill the tape if a file is too big.
Last year I recovered 90% of data from a 10 year old 100 disk spindle provided by my old roommate. He lived in squalor, treated them like crap, exposed to all manner of temperatures. He used regular quality DVD-Rs and the failure rate was about 5% all told. Most disks were good. Many had a failure on a single file or two, which did not completely prevent me from recovering (think, a few frames of a Dragonball episode or something). Probably 2-3% of disks could not be read at all.
So my case basically is if you lose everything backing up to optical, you did it wrong.
That said, optical is trash and I'm glad its dead. It was good for its time, but now I think it TB, and 50 doesn't cut it.
I do believe physics is a bit of an intergalactic game of gravity, mass, magnetism and momentum. Some say God does not roll dice with the Universe... but I say, he sure is one hell of a billiards player.
It's sited, but is It *cited*? It shouldn't be because Wikipedia is a secondary source but I think we can agree wikipedia is cited far too often and possibly not sited enough (since they always ask for more money, presumably to expand the number of sites to deal with all the citations. None of which has anything to do with articles occasionally having of its own citations.
To be clear I'm not mocking you but could not resist the play of words
I've been converted into a developer only I still spend my time doing operations and challenging developers to work securely. I rescue them regularly and explain their errata with your code is bad, your toolbelt is weak or this kernel bug hates you.
You're right about everything but it can be a miserably rewarding existence as if something like that is possible.
DevOps is dead and people like me dragged it out into the street and shot it. Here's a firewalled sandbox go nuts devs. To quote Martha: It's a good thing
>I don't know how it turned out, but I also was in the early stages of a very large customer datacenter revamp. They had thousands of systems largely running vmware. Their executive said 'we will move to 100% openstack within the year'. Turned out they had made this decision based solely on write ups and never actually used the software
I am AC. I am experiencing this right now...... this doesn't change the fact that we can mostly do it, but requires a complete change from how business is used to doing things. Management Groking what openstack actually means for the business is the first step to peace, and frankly we will prevail in that regard.
That said the OP i replied to ought to stop whining and look at all the solutions there are for these new sets of 'problems'

Are you kidding? Microsoft pivoted HARD with Xbox and Windows 10.

Copyright has nothing to do with this as you cannot copyright a likeness.

They have no right to market Nintendo's property for free, donations or anything.
This is the best, sanest, least biased post in the thread

*dialect.
Yes in these situations, playing dead if you cannot run safely, is absolutely the best strategy.
You're pretty sure you're not a turing machine yourself.
Let's ask the computer what it thinks it is.
Clearly there is a market, why hasn't American Style medicare identified and kickstarted this already?
Oh, it's because the profit isn't BIG enough. It's too open source.
Chew on that for a while next time you vote in the old USA.

Its okay to be angry at the sales(wo)man/pitch but you are exactly right.

The difference being my joke is original, and perfectly within context. Yours is simply overplayed.
Beware, the Tides of March!!!
on the surface, this seems like a great deal for California.
Do you really think that their user-agreement indemnifies them against a company/consortium like Universal, Sony etc?
There's a reason they play along with these folks and not piddly upstarts like content creators.
> I don't think they even read or pay attention to these challenges at all.
This is the crux of the problem here. They don't actually honor appeals process unless you are a big company with big bucks to sue them with.
5 billion channels and nothing is on. I still go to like maybe 5 sites a day.
He was pretty chill, actually.
