While I don't doubt you, to be honest I've never ran across any business that didn't value data protection. Then again, I do work for a MSP (Managed Service Provider) that works with 50+ SMBs on a yearly bases. About a quarter of those are monthly regulars. In any case, all of them prefer having a local D2D copy of the server with incremental backups ran nightly and an off-site replica of core user share data via MozyPro. Regardless of the product and methodology, every single client of ours values backups. If it's not smash-n-grab thieves, it's hurricane season, bursting pipes, or general hardware failure that can literally fold a company. Honestly and sincerely, any competent business owner will understand the value of backups if you explain how it will protect his business. They could give two shits about the technology behind it; rather what will it do to protect his/her company! Frame the discussion around that and you will be prompted with a "shut the hell up and take my money" look of horror!!!
Socialism is an attempt to address the societal symptoms, and not the cause. The cause being an authoritative statist form of tyranny and oppression. Ironically, the idealism of socialism quickly turns into the disease that it was set out to nullify in the first place.
The solution is capitalism. What we have now in the US is anything but. However, you can blame the ignorant masses for letting the system degenerate over time. Adam Smith must be turning over in his grave by now.
Fatigue sets in after awhile and thus becomes a safety issue for them and others on the track. So I'm not surprised at the restrictions put into place as the technology becomes more advanced. Now imagine for a moment a new class of "F1-Drone" series. Technology unleashed for all the spectators of the world to see!!! Now that I would love to see in person at the track.
The "south-bridge" equivalent has been superseded by the PCH (Platform Controller Hub) which controls USB and SATA connectivity. The "north-bridge" no longer exists as it's function is already on CPU die. For example the memory controller and on-board video.
So while technically you are correct, the old 'Intel Hub Architecture' no longer exists as a north and south bridge chipset, effectively there is a "south bridge" still in existance in that a separate chipset is required to provide SATA connectivity. SATA is not part of the CPU die.
Depends on how many games you want installed at any given time. The whole point of going SSD is for the near instant load times. PC gamers know this all too well.
So the PS4 will have USB3.0 connectivity. I have no idea what kind of south-bridge it will use unless it's a totally custom chipset. But more than likely it will be SATA3 compliant. 600 MB/s read/write performance is nothing to scoff at. A 250GB Samsung 840 EVO lists for $180 and benchmarks at 540MB/s on reads.
Both Sony and Microsoft can kiss my ass. Nintendo is pretty much AWOL in the advanced technology department too.
Actually, I'm looking forward to the Oculus Rift experience. This will be a game changer for the PC platform as was the original 3Dfx Voodoo card back in the day (Diamond Monster3D). These next generation consoles are nothing more than evolutionary and nothing revolutionary.
16 Fisker Karma's caught fire when flooded from Hurricane Sandy. Also, there have been plenty of others such as the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf that have had fire issues too.
Most homes in Chinese cities are in buildings like condominiums. Only the walls are poured concrete. That's because the walls are load-bearing as part of the design. At least that's my understanding. Regardless, getting WiFi access several rooms away can be real difficult if not impossible.
If you're part if the growing middle class that plans on expanding network connectivity in the home, you really need CAT5e installed (outside the walls unfortunately).
Would that be before or after nuclear war? Because I sure as fuck wouldn't want to be these Chinese soldiers. They either all die in LA, or die trying to return home to an irradiated nation. Nobody will come out of that scenario unscathed. And no land would be taken, just billions of lives lost.
I'm pretty sure he was referring to finding planets (that are also larger) before Earth is no longer habitable. He failed to take account that people would most like weigh a lot due to a larger planet being more massive.
If anything looking at it would be a tease, but wouldn't do any good if you weigh 3x as much as you would on Earth for example.
Unless it's the desert of salt flats, 70 to 80 Mph and that's it. Even if posted, I would only drive 55 at most in rainy weather on an otherwise empty highway. There's also the problem of rush-hour speed changes. Traffic in Houston will abruptly change from 75 to 20 real quick. That's a major delta change in speed.
I can't speak for other areas, but I would *not* recommend 80 Mph on either 290 or 10 between Houston and Austin. Too crowded, drivers are aggressive, and fucking deer love to bolt out right in front of you. That, and section of the roads are either too narrow IMHO or are not partitioned by a concrete barrier.
If programmed in assembly, it might be doable. Just look at the 64k demo scene. It's amazing what you can cram into a small file when using that language.
oh and if you're such deep in paranoid country it doesn't help much to do those steps since this is already assumpting that they're infecting your firmwares on all devices;)
Ya, no kidding! For example Dell PowerEdge servers are pretty consistent throughout each generation. They're good servers, but there are many components onboard that have upgradable firmware. I can name more than a few. BIOS, BMC, iDRAC, Broadcom NIC, and PERC (RAID card). I'm not sure if these devices require the firmware to be signed before accepting, but it stands to reason that it might not be impossible to infect an entire network of rack mounted Dell servers of the same make and model.
The soup is already spoiled. They can make another batch for all I care. I'll just sit back and watch with a bag of popcorn. This will be funny seeing if Google has the balls to school the Federal Government in public.
Being that 1: this code was already created by inexperienced developers. 2: anything created from the group of these titans will by default be superior work compared to the last guys.
Mutation is the result of DNA change. Often from external sources such as radiation or chemicals. The change could be good, bad, or nothing readily noticeable. So that said, how can you rely on the results of a biological computer that's prone to mutation and thus corrupting the results?
I didn't RTFA, but there is a proper way of nuking a machine in staged steps; short of using an actual nuke.
1. Unplug power and other cables to the machine. Everything! (remove battery if a laptop too) 2. Push the power button to drain any flea power from the capacitors. Wait five minutes. 3. Pull RAM, and expansion cards. CPU too if you're truly paranoid 4. Remove any internal HDDs. 5. Clear CMOS via jumper and pull the battery if available. Wait 10 minutes. (By now, the hardware should be free of any malware unless the firmware has been flashed with a virus.) 6. If you need data from the HDDs, connect them to a SATA-to-USB adapter and connect to a machine with an up-to-date antivirus engine and defs. Proceed to scan the drive. As a precaution, manually copy files to a clean drive. Now low level format the drive. I prefer to use my Apple MacBook for this entire step 5 process with Disk Utility. 7. Restore hardware, CMOS battery, HDDs, and cables; in that order. 8. Complete BIOS setup and reload the OS on the zeroed out drive.
If your machine gets reinfected, someone is hitting it with a zero-day exploit from an external source.
In the vast quantities we now have on Earth? Not on this planet at least. The Great Oxygenation Event was caused and maintained by life 2.4 billion years ago.
Cyanobacteria, which appeared about 200 million years before the GOE, began producing oxygen by photosynthesis. Before the GOE, any free oxygen they produced was chemically captured by dissolved iron or organic matter. The GOE was the point when these oxygen sinks became saturated and could not capture all of the oxygen that was produced by cyanobacterial photosynthesis. After the GOE the excess free oxygen started to accumulate in the atmosphere. -wiki
If they can detect an oxygenated atmosphere on one of them, that's a sure sign of life right there. Oxygen likes to be bound up with other elements, so it contently needs replenished (cracked free). A biosphere will do that.
Well, we know how well the last government solution turned out... But in all seriousness, yes, there needs to be government regulation acting as the referee for an open market solution. I say this because, wait till they get ahold of your DNA and digitally synthesize your body. Protein folding and all. I mean, it's better than out-right cloning from a pure data extraction methodology.

Yes, it is. To think that all that stands in the way of life and death is a simple scratch on the skin. Quite terrifying actually.
Aside from being driven to absolute OCD insanity, Howard Hughes was ahead of his time.

One good thing - real estate should be a lot cheaper there, since each of these planets will be much larger.
