If anyone was smart about it, they would build communes and pack H1B workers by the dozen in San Francisco. It's only temporary, and their rent would be cheap. So cheap that they can now take less of the job offer thereby making them cheaper still. Remember, they're NOT CITIZENS, and thus the majority have no plans on staying. They could give two shits about YOUR life!
Management's job should be to ensure institutional knowledge is well documented. If you only have one guy that could take down the system if hit by a bus tomorrow, that's a problem. Also, said person effectively holds the company by the balls as "irreplaceable". Job security is a bad thing when abused, as most often the case.
It's all about marketing. When you focus on pitching a product as cheap, it really is "cheap". When comparing similar products in the same quality class, price typically wins out. AMD in my opinions needs to pull a 180 and focus on their products being premium to OEMs. Give them runtime and performance stats. Brand their product proudly while not being obnoxious at the same time. A consumer should be able to walk into a store, see a bunch of laptops or computers with an AMD sub-theme to them, and marvel and the quality. And when comparing to the standard Intel verity, they notice a huge price reduction. THAT is what will seal the deal; low cost. But you have to sell them on the idea that the product is either premium or at least *not* inferior in any way. I know it sounds like a hard sell when it's ultimately up to the OEMs to build the product, but Intel managed to pull off a very effective marketing campaign.
Unless things have changed, BIOS (UEFI) options have always existed to disable SecureBoot. Simply put, if you're competent enough to install and configure Linux, it's assumed beyond a reasonable doubt that he/she knows how to modify BIOS settings as well. So that said, BFD if it's enabled by default.
Bit rot occurs when the physical media holding the files is unable to recover from a CRC. This is far more common to occur with CDR media, not so much with HDD in comparison. Should a file become corrupted, it can be heard as an audible "blip" or skipping sound. MP3 and FLAC is not immune to a hardware level bit rot issue. Lossless and lossy only pertains to data compression. And assuming no media failure, both the MP3 and FLAC files will be the same till the ends of time.
If you're really paranoid, you can always run a MD5 or SHA1 checksum against your entire library of files and keep the results in a txt document for future reference. Should you suspect a corrupted files, re-run the check. If the checksum is the same, no loss occurred. If it's different, yeah, corrupted file.
Two are immediately occupied in each room: one by the "wireless bridge" (Wifi router, Zigbee gateway
Wait..what??! Dear God no! Please tell me you're not NATing your primary network into different networks for each room. That's a very bad idea, especially when you're in a home network environment with shared multi-media resources such as music and movies.
You only have one gateway/router device in the home. It, in addition to your ISP modem, would be located in the same room as to where your CAT6 patch panel (where all the cables converge in one area) would be. Newer homes actually have cable distribution panel built into the wall of someone's closet. During the build out, fiber or coax would also be ran to it for the ISP equipment. Do keep in mind that 16 port switches and above can get to 1U rack mount form-factor sizes; so plan on the size of the distribution panel in advance or else that will be mounted on a ply baseboard like some telco closet (unsightly IMHO).
I get that cable is cheap in comparison to the labor; especially when looking at a future install when the house is already built. But honestly, 4 runs of cable per room isn't needed. I could be talked into 2 perhaps; one for a PC/Laptop (desk use) and the other for an multimedia device such as a TV, AppleTV box, or game console. If you need more than that in a room, just get a five-port switch. Again, this would be the exception and not the rule for all. Now the family room where all the gathering takes place, sure. 4 runs for the multi-media area, and another jack for a family PC.
If we truly believe that the future will be an "Internet of Things" all ran via IPv6, then less be honest, 4 runs per room isn't going to be nearly enough unless they're WiFi enabled devices. In which case, start planning a few ceiling drops where PoE Access Points will be mounted. I highly recommend UniFi APs by Ubiquity; two of them can easily cover 2,000 sq.ft with plenty of overlap coverage assurance.
Aside from trans-atlantic or pacific power lines (to buy and sell energy on the market), you'll never have enough capacity to provide base-load when the sun isn't shining. People think in terms of residential power usage, but there's a metric fuck-ton of power used in industrial that you simple haven't wrapped your head around yet.
Locally generated base-load has to come from somewhere. Nuclear fission and fusion are the only viable "clean" forms of energy. Well, not unless you're fortunate enough to live near hydroelectric.
(1) Getting a serious fusion effort off the ground is fabulously expensive. Even if you have some kind of whizbang micro-reactor concept you need a small army of physicists, engineers and highly skilled fabricators. People who don't come cheap
Cheap energy is a tide the lifts all boats; with regards to improving human quality of life. If the entire WORLD (China, US, Europe, etc) realizes that 1 cent per KWh or less within manufacturing reach, you will have the global equivalent of a moon shot or Manhattan project.
Remember, cheap energy means cheap robotics, means cheap manufacturing. The nation that can build the cheapest is the nation that can export the most. It's a race you can't fall behind. As for the middle east and their cheap oil....their FUCKED when that happens. And near as I can tell, the world at large is pretty fed up with OPEC and their shenanigans.
Actually, if NAND memory become fast enough, that could replace RAM in future smart phones. It would be like having the concept of Core Memory all over again. And what, NAND storage holds data 6 to 12 months powered off? So still volatile compared with flash or magnetic storage.
I don't think there's a single Core i7 that will support more than 32GB RAM. I believe that's hard-coded to the die, and not motherboard. If you need to address more than that, you're looking at a Xeon chip from the Intel offerings.
What version? My iPhone 5 never had Verizon branded software installed at the firmware level. Aside from it saying "Verizon" in the upper left corner, there's nothing Verizon installed on it.
Speaking of OS updates, the iPhone 5 will most get iOS 9 this Fall.
Frequency speeds have been pretty stagnate due to the laws of physics. Asynchronous clocking is one way of dealing with signal propagation and timings as I understand. But the focus these years has been on adding features as the die shrinks further. Not many programs take advantage of multi-threaded operations, hence why the home and office market doesn't see much in the way of increase core count. For raw multitasking, it's my understanding that the Xeon line sacrifices multi-media features for extra cores and cache. Die space is limited as such gets allocated to whatever that market it's optimized for; in that case server and workstation.
So why is AMD constantly on the verge of bankruptcy?
Typically when you're at that level, management is usually the problem. Technically, AMD can take market share. Marketing-wise, they're not. R&D isn't the problem.
What in the hell is this?! The virgin birth of Jesus is accepted among most Christians.
I'm not known to be the most devout of Christians, but the spread of misinformation can easily be construed as anti-christ propaganda. Even the The Quran mentions it.
Thank you! This answered my original concern. My personal VM that I use to admin machines is not joined to any domain (workgroup stand-alone). That would explain why I got this notification, but yet to hear of anyone on a domain.
Yeah, I need a GPO to block this from Win7 computers where users are local Admins. Yeah yeah, they shouldn't be, but some apps they use require elevated privilege.
Robots serve their rich masters while a few of us will service the robots. In a "perfect" (depends on if you're rich or not) world, robots would run everything while 99% of the human population can die off leaving the remaining 1% to live like Gods on Earth. That is, until the machines revolt and snuff out the last remaining humans.

Depends on how far back that wealth goes. For many wealthy, their first priority is to maintain the wealth in perpetuity for themselves and their family. It's no different then the priorities of typical royalty. Musk and Jobs were nouveau riche, were they not? If so, that would explain how their idealism carried over once they acquired the financial means to carry through.

I hope it stays that way.
Yeah, I need a GPO to block this from Win7 computers where users are local Admins. Yeah yeah, they shouldn't be, but some apps they use require elevated privilege.
And the preferred resolution you're running them at? That makes a considerable difference.
I don't think so. Vista was the pre-Win7 as Win8 is the pre-Win10.
