Depends. For many small ISPs, they are closer in hop count in the network, but often hosted on slower hardware or the cache has expired due to TTL; in which case they look up to the root servers anyways. In the case of Comcast, they're moving away from local managed DNS servers to public ones for their subscribers. In their case, that would be 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76. In short, the turn around in packet responsiveness may be slower to Googles DNS servers by 20 to 30ms, but the CPU response on the backend more than makes up for it. Depending on where you live and who's your ISP, YMMV.

When you purchase a surge protector, what you're really paying for is that little piece of paper in the box. The one people throw away. The same one that often will warranty damage to electronics plugged into included surge protector.
Nature vs. Nurture. At the end of the day, relationships may not last because people are just too different. While there's adaptability, the rate in which people culturally change slows as they get older. Also, the brain is hard-wired for certain predispositions. Sometimes the natural behavior of one person will never compliment that of another. In some cases, enough cultural change will be enough to offset that persons natural behavior. It really is a balance between nature vs. nurture that determines the overall compatibility between two people. Sometimes it works out, other times it does not; no matter how hard you try.
My take on it is that this was a scalping. Pure and simple. It was something management can back up on his/her resume and with references that demonstrates managerial experience. The ability to not only hire, but apply disciplinary action as well.
I could clarify this is for the entire civilian sector. In the interest of national security and all. Can't have cyber warfare going on without our civilian cyber warriors undocumented, now will we.
We live in such an Orwellian world now, it's not a prediction, it's tyranny right on trajectory that can be mapped out in stages!
Oh please. Don't fucking insult our intelligence here. You damn well know that all future devices will be PRISM compliant (brandishing logo and all) and require anyone working in IT to have a full security background check. This certification will be weighted based on party affiliation and immigration status. It also must be renewed each year with a certification cost associated with it.
That's the future of Government controlling IT. They damn well won't allow another "Snowden" incident to occur. EVER!!!
Urban. It's called Urban. Suburbia is where you live (and pay for in tax dollars) if you want to ensure your children have a good public education. In fact, when school districts get redrawn, that can instantly raise or lower the value of a home by 15%. So there's massive value in the housing market based on the school district alone!
Yes, an iPad is pretty expensive considering your tax dollars are already paying for public education. But consider this. When people are abstracted out from cost, tangible items are given and treated with less respect. It's just a fundemental aspect of human nature. Now, when you bring this cost closer to home, the parents will be there to discipline their own child. Also, it's exceedingly difficult (if not impossible) for teachers and staff to do the disciplining for the parents. So come full circle, yes, it's best if the parents pay for these high-ticket items that are in direct possession of their children.
Technically -yes-, but the issue can be catastrophic with an SSD where as with an HDD, you just loose maybe a file. Both the drive and a journaling filesystem should be able to recover from. With an SSD however, the LBAs are not mapped predominately to memory cells. They get reassigned based on whatever algorithm of wear leaving is employed. If this separate abstracted database to the drive's firmware itself becomes corrupted, you could lose the entire drive. And that's the problem, yet another abstraction that SSDs use that's completely vulnerable to uncommitted writes-backs from power failure. This is something where the OS and filesystem can't help you on an SSD. Unfortunately.
That's not a bug, but a feature. Seriously! Look at the output labels. One or more can be labeled "Master". As I understand it, when the load drops to zero on that outlet, all others shut off.
As Tumbleweed pointed out, I too never had this issue. Now, I have seen where a UPS won't hold the load after being 5+ years old. That's how long the batteries typically last. But even a cheapie UPS will provide brown-out and loss of power protection. Expect to see anywhere from 5 to 35 minutes of runtime depending on age and computer usage of said cheapie.
BTW, you want a more advanced UPS for true sine wave synthesis. Otherwise, your standard home / small office UPS will generate wave as squared (also known as stepped or pulse width modulated). I have seen some of the more advanced efficient PSUs fight to compensate for the fake sign wave. Often can be heard in the form of noisy buzzing from the PSU.
Typically caused by people using pirated batteries where they're labeled "Dell", but in fact are not. Ditto cell phone batteries. Amazon is rife with pirate shit intermixed with the real stuff.
The only other incident in which Dell was responsible, it was because of some bad Sony brand cells being used. It effected both Lenovo and Toshiba pre-emptly issued a recall to 340k customers. It was an industry wide issue pointing to one supplier. Though it would be stretch to blame Dell specifically for not in it's direct control and only happened after a large volume of units shipped. You can't test each one under the same conditions prior to shipping. It was below the QC count threshold to show up on the radar.
With a Transit Visa (G Visa), you might be able to pass through China when traveling through. But if you plan on staying in China for any length of time as a destination, you will need to obtain a Tourist Visa (L Visa). For those, you have to fill out a request form and send it off to the nearest Chinese consulate. I've done it in person, though I have seen travel agents in line with me carrying sacks full of passports. In any case, yes, it's quite possible foreign people affiliated with this product could be denied entry. For example, I'm pretty sure Björk is banned. The only way to know for sure is to apply. If you get denied, now you know.
Pure fantasy at this point, but if we can get cheap superconducting lines running in typical outside environmental temps, we could resell electricity to China while it's being generated in Texas. Same goes the other way around.
Umm, Dell!!! Have you not heard of them? Seriously, they do have their own R&D department whom works directly with 3rd party manufacturing. They do things like environmental testing, acoustics of the machine noise, thermal, and other stresses. While I prefer to build my own rig because 1) I can, and 2) I take pride in my own creation, Dell does make a good business class machine from basic office usage to workstation class CAD and GPGPU simulation/render-farm-in-a-box.
HPD is fucking worthless. Those pigs could give a rats ass if your shit is stolen. Short of a murder happening, they'll tell you to grab a xeroxed copy of a form, fill it out, and place it into the bin. No doubt makes it easy to toss into the shredder at the end of the day. And that's on a good day. Normally, a COP will just give you a WTF look at which point you might be arrested for wasting their time.
You're better of dealing with a Sheriff or State Trooper. Those guys are easy to deal with. Most have been friendly to me. COPs however, no way.
It's all about proving a negative. If shit breaks, you're deemed an idiot for letting it happen in the first place. If things don't break, what the hell are you doing with your time and why are we paying for it? Either way, you lose!!!
For home or personal use, ok. Though I would never deploy any 3rd party mods to the core GUI in a corporate setting. It's just one patch away from getting the ban hammer by Microsoft. That, or an unintentional compatibility rift is now formed. Either way, it's not something you want as an IT manager to be responsible for. Then again, I wouldn't be deploying Windows 8 in the first place.
Assuming I was in the situation of needing an artificial heart, I would choose one that mimics pulsatile over pulse-less. The reason being is that I'm pretty sure arteries and veins have adapted to take advantage of the constant flexing from the pulsation. Perhaps it's the pulsation that helps prevent clotting through the constant pulsating motions of fluid. Otherwise, the fixed positive pressure may do nothing to prevent the accumulation of certain plaques. In any case, it's works and the brain has already been adapted to this behavior.
Sometimes the footing can go deeper than the building is tall above-ground.
So I've been told. Houston, TX for example doesn't have bedrock. It's effectively dried up swampland. What we have is "gumbo clay". I've also been told that one of the reasons we don't have a subway is because of the unstable nature of the ground and the constant need to pump water out. In fact, we have an entire industry here that repairs residential home foundations. It's just a fact of life here.
It should be noted that DC is the only place in America with an active baby boom going on now! These people are swimming in wealth and prosperity!!! For them, it's like living in 1998 all funded by -you- the tax payer.

Just post a sign that says "No Trespassing" and be done with it.
