We already spend many, many billions of dollars a year on it, and intelligence seems to have gone down. (No, I am not "asserting cause and effect".) 2 more million $ per year of taxpayer money won't do squat (in the US, at least).
Secret? No. But I can say with metaphysical certainty that we and any other ETs are so vanishingly tiny and interstellar space is SO FSCKING MONSTROUS that we'll never detect Their radio waves.
Except for the ones like Los Angeles, NYC, Atlanta and Las Vegas which are fed from lakes/reservoirs or New Orleans, St Louis, etc which pull from rivers. Or Tampa which uses RO.
Being old enough to remember writing term papers in WordStar on a KayPro IV, I'm certain that it's a very tiny percentage.
The sole reason that I got into Linux back in the day was it's powerful CLI, since I used (and still do use) OpenVMS at work, and love it's powerful CLI, whereas NT 4.0 (and 2K and XP) are point-and-drool.
I'm grumpy and elitist enough to think that most people who have general-purpose computers shouldn't be allowed to have them. (Not that I trust government or industry to create a competent test that's generalized enough for any possible OS.) A Minitel-like system is what most people should have.
How do you specify the 4-7 episodes to be extracted from each DVD/ISO?
My home-rolled system is an at(1) job that reads the first record from a text file and deletes it when completed, then reads the next line. Thus, the transcoding runs as long as I feed it ISOs (or VOBs, if key extraction is finicky) and the names of episodes to the end of the text file (cleverly named ISO_queue.txt).
Ripping DVDs into ISO format is perfectly suitable for a GUI like brasero, because it's so slow.
But transcoding dozens -- nay, hundreds -- of episodes of TV shows is simplified by the liberal use of bash, control structures, variables, at(1) and handbrake-cli.
TFA mentioned that the RHE6 kernel had the bug, but not RHE5.
It appears also that system load was a big factor, so if your systems aren't busy on Saturday then they might not have crashed even if running an affected kernel.
Pull your head out of your arse and think: water treatment plants of all sorts have been doing that for 120 years using scrapers, settling tanks, sand filters and flocking agents.
The only people in companies with 78k employees who can get their legal department to move on such an issue are senior executives.
Senior executives in major corporations do not read/. and even if they did, would not understand the ramifications or might even think them a good idea.
The downside of that was that there was no memory protection
Replacing a non-protected OS with a protected version while retaining app compatibility is impossible. That's why Apple had to ditch the original Mac code base and replace it with OSX.
on the outside of an envelope (or any part of a post card) has ever actually been private? Certainly not I, even before I knew enough to care about privacy.
It's just not been technologically practical to store all that info, but with 3TB HDDs stuffed into 42U SAN racks, it's more than doable. And with modern CPUs and high-density RAM, OCR on even the worst penmanship is probably practical.
No, if you're correct about what she had to do, then I'm ill-informed.
The Soviet Union launched a woman into space within 2 years of their first manned flight.
And they waited 19 years to send up another woman. Obviously it was just a publicity stunt:
Tereshkova was considered a particularly worthy candidate, partly due to her "proletarian" background, and because her father, tank leader sergeant Vladimir Tereshkov, was a war hero.

I'm pretty aware for an American, but this is the first time I've heard of the IPU. How much less relevant, then, than the UN?

I can put my hard-earned money towards:
a) Fusion research, which might work in 30 years, or
b) SETI, which will NEVER find ET.
Guess where I'm putting my money.

Show me a US city who's water treatment facilities do not use all the techniques that I mentioned.

Lots, on an absolute scale, but few relative to the number of Windows and OSX desktops. :(
And apparently neither did any desktop Linux systems.

You're so completely full of crap.

My question exactly. Someone would have noticed long ago weird phone-home packets being sent out by Cisco/Linksys routers.

So is P1363.3 an actual standard, or just a proposed standard?
The difference is that Mozilla only wants to do it on the iPad, but MSFT wants it on the desktop.
In the 1980s, C was considered a high-level assembly language.

But it must be seized by force from oppressors, and is given away by the apathetic and scared.
label all hard drives. Drive position, and server.
In a "server room" situation, wouldn't the HDDs be in rack-mounted trays? If so, just take the trays. In fact, *only* take the server and HDD trays.
Everything else can be replaced from fire insurance. (You are backing up all the workstation data to servers, right?
For post code sorting, as has the USPS for zip code sorting. It's why ZIP+4 was created. I'm sure every other 1st world PTT does OCR, too.
But only now is it practical to OCR the whole front and back and then store the images and text.

Sure. Why recruit the best fighter pilots, when even a monkey can sit in a sealed-up tin can?
So you are just being petty here.
