So you're saying you're using a reverse image of the finger print and its working? Thats what you're claiming in these steps, or you're leaving out the last part in your attempt to look like you're a bad ass hacker.
You kind of ignore the fact that your print isn't the right orientation, you're printing a mold, not the fingerprint itself.
And that doesn't mean it requires iron or anything else in particular. Electrostatic force can be used on... well just about anything, including plain water. You're not talking about moving a train, you're talking about moving atomized droplets of liquid. Doesn't take much force to do so.
One doesn't have to lift a FUELED reactor. Lift it unfueled. Add fuel in orbit. We launch radioactive elements all the time, RTGs are the main example I'm thinking off. You just lift the fuel in a heavy and expensive container, but much smaller than making the entire reactor capable of surviving an uncontrolled re-entry, fire or the abrupt stop at the end.
Still not going to be economical at this point, but its a solvable problem.
This is a home setup, all parts are generic cheapo desktop grade components, except slightly upgraded rocket raid cards in dumb mode for additional sata ports:
4 HDDs, 2 vdevs that 2 drive mirrors (RAID 1+0 with 4 drives essentially)
1 drive in a 2 drive mirror fails, no hot spare. When inserting a replacement drive for the failed drive, the SATA cable to the remaining drive in the mirror was jiggled and the controller considered it disconnected.
The pool instantly went offline. When the drive reconnected, and the new drive was added to the mirror, during the resilvering process, 2 files were detected with invalid checksums. There were files that were being written at that moment the VDEV was yanked out from under ZFS.
Scrub found additional correctable errors and repaired them, but the files it marked as irreparable were clearly irreparable.
Simply deleting the corrupted files cleared the pool errors after the next scrub. Since I was copying those files anyway when the failure occurred, I just recopied them and nothing was actually lost .
Of course, I really can't expect anything else to have happened. I'm EXTREMELY grateful that it didn't take the entire pool down, so while there was 'data loss' it performed exactly as I would have hoped it to.
You can't expect much better than what it did considering an entire vddv (both drives in the mirror) went off line as data was being written to them.
Redundant metadata can't solve the problem of large amounts of the HDD becoming unreadable, which given enough terabytes is going to happen, and possibly often when you get into big data sets (think LHC size data sets). You can of course, zfs set copies=5 on the pool, or whatever number of copies you want to get additional protection, but then you might as well just put more drives in the same vdev and benefit from increased read speeds. Copies=1 by default, making it entirely possible to lose data.
Windows isn't a very friendly development platform for Open Source, starting with the licensing requirements for tools and distribution restrictions on binaries derived from those tools when using header files containing substantial code, or runtime libraries.
Well, the tools are free and there isn't a redistribution problem, never has been.
Now, you could argue that ZFS and Windows won't work unless MS does it because ZFS is the whole disk I/O stack rolled into one, and no driver is going to work with the kernel to allow the ZFS system to work in windows, but thats another story entirely. Theres no way to bypass the disk cache for instance, not in a way ZFS would be compatible with. ZFS must use its own cache, and directly access the raw devices, and provide the filesystem driver all rolled into one... but spread all across the kernel, in order to get proper performance.
Could get pretty close with some good hacks though, such as FUSE.
Unless there are regulations about federal agencies using drones/UAVs on the American public.
There are.
You can't legally fly a unmanned aircraft remotely OR autonomously without visual contact from the ground by the person responsible for the aircraft. A camera in the aircraft does not count. The 'responsible person' can't change while its in the air. It is against federal aviation regulations.
These guys apparently had a waiver from the FAA to do it however, which is good to know because I want such waiver for my own uses and was under the impression that the FAA was not yet granting any waivers for this purpose to civilians. Its something they've been trying to figure out how to deal with for a couple years now, and its a non-trivial problem.
The iPhone is stuck with it's 1136 x 640 resolution and this would just look crappy with a larger display.
What? If anything Apple has shown resolution independance multiple times. Theres this neat thing called 'scaling', thats how they doubled the resolution for retinas. Throw in a hack for changing the aspect ratio. Between the two, no app modification is required, they are entirely optional. The OS will even allow you to mix and match the two in the same app with trivial changes so you can upgrade a non-retina app one bit at a time.
There are 3 different iPhone resolutions, adding a 4th is trivial at this point, especially if they us a multiple of an existing resolution.
So like OSX has had for years and iOS has had since it was spawned from OSX.
I currently compile OSX apps for 3 arches (ppc, i386, x64) in one fat binary and iOS apps for 4 (armv6, armv7, armv7s, armv8 in apps prepared for 5S) in a fat binary.
Admittedly, I could drop ppc support without much notice, but the support costs me nothing at this point and I can keep the boss happy since his wife's ancient iMac can still run the current version of our software (minus features not available in the OS).
I've written apps for iOS 7... that work on 3.0. Of course, the same can be done with Android if the developer has a clue. But thats not the point.
The point is how many Android phones EVER get an OS upgrade.
iOS 6 will run on phones sold from the 2009 refresh (3GS) onward to now.
A lot of small publishing/design houses got burned in the transition from OS9 to OSX.
Which ones would those be? The ones who couldn't figure out how to double click an icon and have OSX automatically fire up its OS9 compatibility layer? What publishing/design houses were even USING OS9? 1... 2? OS9 was shit, most stuck on OS8. OSX had relatively decent compatibility for an entirely redesigned OS, as pre-OSX... Apples OS sucked ass as far as stability and multitasking. Within a couple years, every app that mattered had an OSX version that worked, during which time, minor updates were provided to the few souls who refused to move forward and join the modern world.
This is the way of things. Apple would have died had they not dumped pre-OSX variants, they were pretty damn close anyway.
The number of participants continues to grow and the commit rate continues to accelerate. It therefore doesn't follow that he is becoming more of a manager. He could increase his output and still "fall" to number 101.
What? You're telling me that being the guy who does all the merges ISN'T managing? Or that from now until the end of time, there will be faster and faster committers? That makes no sense. Adding more committers doesn't make him slower or them magically faster.
You are confusing being a benevolent project dictator with holding a job at a typical company.
So I'm guessing you've never managed a software project in your life. Managing a project is managing a project, be it open source or ultra secret proprietary NSA work. You seem to have some silly fantasy about Linux being magically different than every other software project on the planet. Its not. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't even have a lot of committers compared to plenty of other projects. Thats probably because Linus is doing a good job as a manager of the project.
He is in no way benevolent. I don't think you know what the word means.
You sure seem to be trying to find a way to offend him.
I can not offend you, but you or he can take offense. Thats your problem, not mine. He's acting like an ignorant fanboy, if you don't like when someone calls you something, you can ignore it, accept it, or change it. Getting offended isn't my problem.
The Internet worked fine before Linux existed, BSD has more to do with it than Linux.
My phone runs Mach/BSD.
My Depth sounder/GPS runs vxWorks.
My router at work runs Cisco IOS.
My router at home runs FreeBSD (pfSense).
Every DNS server I connect to is FreeBSD or Solaris, though I suspect Solaris won't be around much longer at the ISP side.
My ISP either uses cisco devices, juniper devices (FreeBSD based OS), or FreeBSD based devices such as BigIP load balancers.
My DVR runs Window Media Center and whatever the Xbox360 OS is, though the Ceton Echo I have as an extender is supposed to be updated Android sometime soon. That will be the only Linux box on the network I'm aware of between myself and my ISPs peering points.
Linux is certainly popular and very useful. I'm glad we have it, it serves many useful purposes. We would survive just fine if it suddenly went away, though I'd hate to think I'd be forced to use Bing until Google could get all their machines switched over to some other OS.
Nothing fundamentally different here, when you say something stupid, I'll call you on it. I'm sorry if you don't recognize the ignorance. If that hurts your feelings then you should grow up before the world consumes you.
Or you could just take note that Linus is becoming more of a manager than a raw code producer.
Of course, this is completely normal and part of the process a developer goes through in their lives as they progress through their stages.
Its just something to note, no need to get all offended, especially since we're not even talking about you, Fanboy. Linus will eventually stop writing code for Linux all together for any number of reasons, including the inevitable death.
Pull your panties out of your crack and move on. No one is insulting your God.
The speed limiters in the cars are so the driver doesn't fuck up, not because the rules says they are supposed to use speed limiters. Its an aid so the driver, pumped up from driving 160mph doesn't screw up when he slows down to 45-60mph and feels like he could get out and walk faster.

Arrrrrgh, Space has never been a vacuum.
I corrupted some files by the following:

Throw in background dedup without dedup tables hogging massive amounts of RAM too!

So are Borg, and they most certainly sting.
Linus isn't arrogant.
He's right, and the asshole comes out when you waste his time.
He doesn't have an exaggerated self importance.

Just because you don't understand the usefulness doesn't mean there aren't plenty of reasons.
Register count is probably the biggest immediate boost. This is a tremendous speed advantage to certain applications.
