You can thank the counterculture (revolution) of the 60's for that. It's pure rebellion that goes out of its way to counter anything known as American values. None of this happens to be by chance.
I think you missed the part I mentioned with regards to a financial global equilibrium. At least comparatively to what we have now. The valuation of national currencies are lopsided. While people are arguing about trickle-up vs. trickle-down policies this election, the real elephant in the room is that we are in the midst of a trickle-out. We are hemoraging national wealth! Good news is that this is not sustainable. Eventually it will cost just the same if not more to outsource our labor and manufacturing overseas. How long it will take before we get to that point is anyone's guess. But it will happen like a force of nature. At that point, the robber barons will no longer have a self sustaining advantage. Let them eat each other alive.
I thought about moving to Shanghai with my wife to work. But such a decision should never be taken lightly. Sure, the cost of living will be better. But with whatever money you have left over to save in a bank account, will it be enough to move back to America assuming you wanted too in the future? You might find yourself with little or no retirement savings when deciding to come back. Being stuck in a financial rut does not seem appealing to me.
America, EU, and the rest of the "West" is currently caught up in a perfect storm. The problem is a culmination of many things that's leading us into stagflation.
1. The West is a devloped nation compared to the East's status of developing. They need a high count of engineers at the local level whom can also sell their work and services cheaper to Western nations. So the West doesn't need much in the way of infrastructure and manufacturing construction. When we do, it gets outsourced anyways.
2. Post WW2 baby boomers are retiring and taking their knowledge to the grave with them. They're also becoming a net drain on society instead of producers. Not that they don't deserve the payback, just stating a logical fact.
3. Our national debt is rising while wages are dropping. Stagflation will force us into default.
It will be quite some time spanning a generation or two before global economic equilibrium retains and grows our local industries and pull us out of high employment. It's a waiting game now. The East is now in control of the direction of global human development. Either way, the American culture as I knew it in the 80's and 90's will be radically different from now on. Seeing our zenith come and go in my lifetime is depressing to say the least.
There's a BIG difference here. It's censorship regardless who does it, but there is a clear distinction in the eyes of the Federal Goverment with regards to who is allowed to wield such power.
Liberty and holding onto it with eternal vigilance is a lot like hanging off a cliff with one hand. It can be done. You will stay alive this way. But, you will also get tired to the point of giving up. Complacency and fatigue are the #1 killers of democracy and freedom. It's only a question of time before a nation falls and some point afterward is reborn. Revolution is cyclical. Despite all our knowledge and technology, I don't see the fundamentals behind human nature changing anytime soon. Buy by all means, please prove me wrong. I encourage it.
Austin is also a major film and music capitol of the US. Specifically the South by Southwest (SXSW) annual events. It's not Hollywood or Tennessee, but closer than you think.
Agreed. But for international users, Google would need to not link to the representative contact page. To do so otherwise would sour the protest results as illegitimate (can't have EU visitors calling local US reps). That's exactly what the congress critters in favor of these bills want; an excuse.
Wow! If that's the case, we may very well be all alone in the universe. A glitch of epic chance that should never have happened, but statistically would have sooner or later anyways. Earth just happened to be the place for this event to occur on.
I really hope that's not the case. I sure would like to believe life is a common theme among planets with oceans of water.
Oh, I'm sure the next generation or so of the AppleTV will eat the lunch of Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft...combined! Apple has a game plan, you can count on that. Soon their all powerful ring (app store) for the iOS platform will rule them all!
You seriously didn't think Apple got over the whole Pippin loss did you?
You dropped his name with regards to a topic that's non applicable. Presumably with a holier than thou righteous attitude. I don't accept the premise that conflict can be avoided. Prolonged sure, but never avoided. This Middle East conflict has been going on far longer than and most likely started from the most mundane of reasons hundreds of years go. People, groups, etc tend to gunny sack grievances to the point of full out warfare. Eventually, the innocent and damned get caught in the fog of war until at some point (hopefully) those same group of people realize that it wasn't worth the POV they so stood steadfast by. Or, one group completely annihilates the other or enslaves them to a declaration of surrender. Which ever comes first.
Does Sun Tzu also advocate running in fear when war comes to you? Perhaps it's wise to be submissive, hmm? Sometimes you don't have a choice but to defend yourself. Often, the cost of doing so means killing the aggressor. Not to say Israel is innocent here, but Hamas is extremely gleeful when rockets kill innocent Israeli children.
If you have correct hardware, then it is not luck, it requires no timing or magic.
Uh huh, because hardware specifications are so open to the public, and everything bought and sold as enterprise grade is rock-solid and military grade. You can't seriously expect me to put that much faith into "correct hardware" right? If I'm going to do that, I might as well design, engineer, and fab the enterprise hardware myself for a few billion dollars. Clearly you have more faith with man-made machines along with a complete disregard for murphy's law.
Now, do you prefer holy blessings, charms, rituals, or pro-active review through tea leaf readings? It's just as effective with or without your faith in any hardware platform. BECAUSE FAILURE DOES HAPPEN REGARDLESS!
It's clear that you're going out of your way to explain the situation as to not contradict yourself. But in fact that's exactly what your doing. Contradicting yourself. While I'm not a lawyer, your statement would seem to hold someone criminally negligent. And while I don't know if a legal precedent has already be established on this front then yes, by de facto, you would need to be vaccinated to prevent prosecution of criminal behavior.
Journalling most certainly does not rely on luck and timing! Under heavy I/O, journalling can guarantee filesystem data integrity (modulo coding bugs).
NTFS is a journalling file system. It's why I was able to repair the file system. But yes, when pending write-back transactions can't be completed because the extended disk queue length is part in system RAM and RAID Cache, the integrity of any filesystem will become compromised. Even ZFS. The only difference between journaled file systems is how well they recover from an un-expected shutdown. As another poster have stated, disks can and do often lie reporting that a write has completed when in fact it hasn't. On-board disk cache (not to be confused with on-board RAID cache) used for writing is only for sequencing and order to ensure optimal write back performance. But sometimes a disk will report a write transaction has completed when in fact it hasn't. It's a hardware problem for sure, but many filesystems are not designed to take such issues into consideration but rather the reporting of hardware transactions at face value.
So yes, luck still plays a big part in this with regards to modern hardware. And don't even get me started on SSD technology. The amount of Voodoo coded into its firmware makes data recovery virtually unpredictable and completely abstracted with regards to LBA addressing to physical memory cells. As you may know, those blocks constantly get re-mapped for wear leveling.
I agree about the kernel panic. It should not crash because of data corruption. So the problem was with the kernel not handling corruption, not NTFS (which is why I had to use a 2008 boot disk) but I've seen dataloss and Linux failing to boot under the same circumstances. In one cases, it was Asterix server failing on a power outrage too. Checking the disk via command would not repair or recover data in some instances. Of course, same thing can be said of any Windows machine too.
Journalling or not, you can't guarantee 100% data integrity under heavy I/O and simply expect full recovery from a power outage. If it was the case, we would never hear or read documented cases such of these. A lot of the problems can be mitigated through proper software coding. The rest relies on a lot of luck and timing. Better yet, just make damn sure your UPS batteries are up to snuff.
Getting the Flu sucks regardless. I don't lose any sleep over these stories because I make a best-effort to get the latest Flu shot when available. The parent poster can suck it. If he doesn't want to get vaccinated, that's his call. Persuading other not too is simply irresponsible on his part.
A few weeks ago, I pulled "Hail Mary" with regards to saving an SBS 2003 server. For whatever reason, the server would not boot after a power failure. The RAID cache was not dirty on the card, and the RAID volume passed a manual parity consistency check. Unfortunately, the server would still not boot into the OS. It kept throwing a BSOD or hung at finding the hal.dll file. Attempting to access the recovery console or other F8 invoked options failed. Any Server 2003 disk would throw a BSOD the moment it attempted to mount the boot "C" volume. It wasn't the RAID drivers, but actual NTFS corruption causing the kernel panic. Serious shit. However, a Server 2008 R2 disk did save my ass. I was able to mount the volume through a command recovery console. A chkdsk revealed massive amounts of corruption. Server is fucked right? NO! A "chkdsk/R" command was able to find and repair all errors. No data loss what-so-ever.
Basically, the server must have been busy with installing updates or something when the power died. An old UPS battery will do that. But this goes to show how remarkably resilient the NTFS system is. Absolute respect!
The problem isn't so much the OS, but rather the source of where the OS comes from. Finding a pirated copy of Windows (rooted with malware), are a dime a dozen only a walk aware from your nearest corner rickshaw. It's in the section right next to the pirated copies of movies and music. If Linux was just as popular, those local copies burned on CD would be rooted no doubt too.
As of seven years ago including last year I was visiting my in-laws in Shanghai, my wife's parents were still behind a double NATed. Often Skype connections could get spontainiously dropped. Same goes for google talk and any other P2P based application. They seriously need to roll out IPv6 ASAP! They shouldn't wait for the rest of the world. Just dive right in.

Toilet cleaning duty: Achievement UNLOCKED!
Never thought I'd hear of a day when cleaning shit off porcelain will bring a smile to someone's face.
That still won't stop the haters from hating.
Well? Do bears shit in the woods? j/k
