Regardless of the zeitgeist of how ruthless the IT industry intrinsically is, we're all held accountable to our own actions. If you go black hat, nothing *made* you do it. The correct response would be to find another occupation entirely; even if that means digging ditches.
It's about licensing enforcement most assuredly. They're trying to deprecate existing installations of Windows 7 via a physical over-write with Windows 10. They DO NOT want you using the same key to keep both installations of Windows 7 and Windows 10 at the same time. So they force the issue by insuring you can't just do a clean install without first upgrading the key within the existing installation of Windows 7 first. Microsoft released a newer ISO, found out it broke this licensing enforcement model, and now are pulling it ASAP out of realization. That's the only thing I can conclude from all this.
NIC Teaming and NIC bonding are two different things. What you're talking about is NIC Teaming. What's needed is Bonding. But that has to be supported all the way from the NIC, to the modem, and everything else in between (switch, router, etc)
>NIC Teaming uses one of two methods, failover, and load-balancing with fail over. With a team you do not get a single 2gb connection (with two 1 gb NICs). You get two pipes that act as one, but merely are load balancing the traffic over each NIC, and each NIC acts as a fail over to the other. If you transfer a 100 gb file, you are not going to get 2gb of throughputyou still only get 1 gb, but you will not kill the network performance because the second NIC is still available to service other traffic.
True bonding would be taking two NICs and bonding them together to get a single fat pipe. This requires the switch to support this as well. I have not seen much bonding in the server worldmore done at the network level.
VMWare acts the same way. It is purely load balancing and fail over. Since VMWare is done at the OS level, you can mix and match different vendor NICs in a team. I have done this without issue. Just make sure they are on the HCL.
Yeah, on the cheap. You really don't want to know how badly they cut corners in civil engineering. It has nothing to do with capability; it has everything to due with corruption in materials and last minute change-outs. In some cases, omission of materials entirely. For example, no rebar in concrete when it was specifically called for and certified as having been used when in fact it wasn't.
*while fusion has the potential to provide more energy than harvestable insolation, this would represent a massive injection of heat into the biosphere and I doubt that would have good implications for climate change. It is also hard to imagine what we could possibly do with that much energy without causing serious issues."
Geothermal produces a LOT of energy. The planet expels this energy out into space as IR radiation, as do the oceans that have all that thermal momentum. So unless you're talking about humanity covering the Earth into a Borg-like mechasphere (opposed to a biosphere) plotted with fusion reactors, we won't have fuck-all impact on the planet.
Next step up form 1gbps ethernet is 10gbps; and that hardware is very expensive. I've only seen 10gbps in iSCSI configuration, and I"m sure they exist in router backbones and whatnot. Point is, NONE of the consumer class hardware contains 10gbps NICs. And then there's the whole consumer class routers and the hardware needed to sustain throughput with basic firewall support.
Basically, give it another 10 years before the 10gig ethernet becomes mainstream. Until then, everyone will be capped at 1gig per device.
Since the inception of HT, is there a reason CPU design hasn't advanced to the point of executing 4 threads per core rather then the 2 it always has been? Is it an L3 cache limitation or diminishing laws or return in performance?
I was thinking exactly that; more specifically the capacitor plague in which a botched pirated formulation got let loose on the industry. Without further testing, for all we know this stealth material degrades to the point of falling off or exposing a weekness in frequency response only to be exploited later by the Chinese. Yes, it could be a trap indeed!
It's also a good thing that billions of people aren't needed in the work-force, but you can't deny them an opportunity for a high standard of living if the majority of people are outclassed by machines. So I see a few scenarios that will play out. 1; Those that aren't needed will be deemed no longer relevant and thus perpetually live in poverty. 2; War erupts and the "undesirables" are directed to kill each other off. 3;purposeful genocide of the "undesirable" (aka Nazi like movement). 4; Everyone enjoys a livable wage, but with strings attached via the government. And my personal optimistic favorite 5; We don't work for those that control the machines, rathe they become so commoditized that every family and community has access to machines that work for them. Everyone can live in the country and be self-sufficient with a high quality of life and luxury.
Just what is the end game to gutting the middle class, anyway?
Frighting that you do not already know this, sincerely.
The -entire point- is to crate a have / have-not society; which BTW is the norm throughout human history. The concept of a "middle class" is but an aberration. Be it communism or fascism, by any other name it's feudal. In a democracy, people vote not for whom they like, but rather out of fear their "benefits" will be taken away. Think of it as indentured servitude.
Duh! We don't have a trickle-down or trickle-up economy anymore; either one would be preferred to the "trickle-out" that we have now as it least moves money in the system. No, our nation is (and has been for quite some time now) been hemorrhaging wealth overseas. Meanwhile, our national debt is growing at warp speeds and when it finally crashes, the nation, "the union" as you know it dissolves. And as for China and everyone else, they can all go fuck themselves as there won't be an dollars to collect on!
Nintendo is testing the mobile waters in iOS with their first game Miitomo. I'm willing to bet that Nintendo will dive into the 4th generation Apple TV mid to late in its life; after the Nintendo NX console flops like SEGA's Dreamcast. By the 5th gen Apple TV, Nintendo will be porting their entire lineup over to iOS. Yes, 5th generation will have a full Zelda and Mario title!
As saturated as the gaming industry has been, at some point you're no longer marketable for a console only piece of hardware; and a mediocre specced one at that. SEGA had the right idea, but unfortunately forced into it too early. Being an AAA game publisher is really where it's at. But if it's any consolation, Nintendo could still offer exclusive controller and other input devices for Apple TV assuming Apple goes along with it.
WTF are you talking about?! Tier 3 and 4 (specialized) jobs are being outsourced to India too. If it's cloud computing, there is ZERO incentive to pay US wage levels when the staff is effectively performing remotely anyways. Anything from networking, Windows/*nix administration, to running the entire enterprise VMWare stack; all of it going overseas. About the only thing that remains is executive staff and grunts that rack-n-stack equipment in a data center.
The entire economy is predicated on the concept of over subscription; be it traffic and the amount of cars on it at any point in time, water, natural gas, electricity, food, money (banking and loans)..etc. If everyone simultaneously tried to obtain as much of the aforementioned resources at any given time, there would be a massive shortfall of said resource. Bandwidth is not an exception
As of a few days ago, Cryptowall 4.0 has been released. Version 3.0 caused over 320 million in damages so far. This thing infects via spammed e-mail attachments, Flash, JS exploits, and MS Word / Excel documents containing instructions on allowing an untrusted macro (virus). Aside from proper lock-down of a Windows network and blocking file attachments, I'm real curious as to how all these ad servers are getting infected? These drive-by-downloads are nasty. AKA "malvertisements".
Cryptowall is perhaps the most professionally engineered, crafted, and ran operation of malware in the history of computing in that if anything is going to crash the web and fold companies, this fucker will do it!!!
Yeah, about to say the same. C02 is proportional to the amount of fuel you burn. Got a lead foot and like to drive fast, your MPG will go down proportionally with increase in C02. That is a huge "duh" factor. Anyone that doesn't understand that with a hydrocarbon, released carbon will bind with oxygen when burned, needs to be shamed into performing seppuku for their ignorance.
Yes, and when you have no opportunities or able to feed your animals, you get rid of them. In our case, young unemployed adults will be drafted and sent off to fight in WWIII.
Um no. The US will quickly draft and mandate all phones be PRISM compliment shortly there after. And in fact, might even have a global treaty put forth which will mandate all technology companies create a Government API. Each Government given their own key access to phones registered in their nations. Google and Apple will go along with it because now they have a platform to make such mandates manageable.
I'm not sure the politicians have thought this one through all the way.
OH YES THEY HAVE!!!! This is a deliberate power grab! And they will push on the social hot button issues to whatever end to achieve the goal of control. This was never about you, it was always about power for them!
One thing has become apparent as I get older; either a cooperation/industry will buy out elected officials, or the elected officials will pull the rug out underneath said corporation/industry. It's always been a political war between those that have power and wealth. You, the little people, are just refugees caught in the cross-fire. In the end nothing new is happening; only difference is the organizational constructs at play.
Well yeah, that's the point. It's political to ensure those in the Middle East, N. Korea, India, Pakistan, and potentially Iran get condemnation buy the more advanced nations. Nations such as the US, Russia, China, and UK are well advanced enough to just continue on with computer simulations. Personally, I think it's all BS. Creating a political artificial barrier to entry never has, and never will work. But, it will be done so that "something was done" to pat themselves on the back for doing something.

The fact that the ISP didn't self censor means they're now an accessory to a crime??
Regardless of the zeitgeist of how ruthless the IT industry intrinsically is, we're all held accountable to our own actions. If you go black hat, nothing *made* you do it. The correct response would be to find another occupation entirely; even if that means digging ditches.
What, you didn't actually think having a full manned staff department inside your ISP wasn't going to cost them, and thus you, any extra. Right?
