Fusion is very easy to attain if you know the physics involved.
Net energy surplus is something else entirely. Its the harvesting part that is killing it right at this moment, but much like building a workshop fusor is trivial now that its well understood, in 100 years, building a fusion reactor might not be a whole lot different. Fusion has some really beautiful requirements that make it naturally safe from a 'OMG THE PLANT IS GONNA BLOW CAPTAIN' perspective.
You can't climb a ladder and take pics of some girl sunbathing in her backyard legally if she is behind a privacy fence that you had to go out of your way to see over, that includes using a drone to do so.
If you have to take explicit action to circumvent something providing privacy, you don't magically get a free pass for doing so and more than you get a free pass for robbing a hows because the door was unlocked.
A) it does, since it applies to taking photos. You can't really take a photo without a camera, can you? B) Depends on how you try to protect it. In most locations, an attempt to be private means its private. I.E. a privacy fence means you have an expectation of privacy. Having sex in a public park doesn't count, but in your hot tub with a fence around that a normal person can't see over and you should be able to assume your actions are private.
since Microsoft products make major UI changes between versions that require just as much training.
The only Major change since Office 98 was Office 2007, and most users picked it up naturally. Only cranky old 'get off my lawn' users really had a problem with it. Power users using keyboard shortcuts didn't notice.
Windows Vista was a bit of a shocker, and as such, we skipped for that any various other reasons.
And I'm guessing you're implying that Linux apps aren't restructured just for the sake of restructuring them... at which point I'd have to say you've either never used Linux or are intentionally lying out your ass.
The paid version has the server in our control, maintained by us.
There is no version of Google Apps that is hosted on customer premise. Your company does not control the servers.
Google only updates the executables and server side stuff
They update whatever they want, its not on your servers. Your admins can select various options regarding what you see and how it feels and when you get new versions of the software, but its all in a Google data center somewhere.
they dont get to see any data or anything.
Google can read all your documents and email in the blink of an eye if its on Google Apps.
The authentication server somehow switches from mail.google.com to $company.com/mail somehow.
Just because your domain is attached to it, doesn't mean you're hosting it. Anyone can do this, even in the free version of Google Apps for Domains. $company.com is DNS CNAME to ghs.google.com. Go ahead, look for yourself.
Our company legal is quite sharp. They really would not like our documents outside our control.
Reality would disagree with those statements on both accounts.
But given the response we get from Google for down times and tech support questions it is likely to be between 50$ to 100$ per seat per year.
Its $50/year, same as everyone else who pays for Google Apps for Enterprises, unless you've negotiated a lower rate.
I'm guessing you spend more time dicking around with your desktop than actually working, and I'd say that would be why Unity is such a big deal for you.
but figured that the city would prefer to save money
If you spend more than 2 days total over the course of an employees time at a company to convert them from MS Windows and Office to Linux you've lost money, even on the lowest paid employee you have.
Contrary to what you think, the cost of Windows and Office licenses are nothing as far as cost of doing business.
Right, because he's more than a nobody attention whore who does anything and everything he can to stay in the spotlight, manipulating facts to suit his own personal agenda...
If he was going to be shipped to the US, England would have done it in the time they had the opportunity to do so well before he went into the embassy. You do realize there was plenty of time to do so right? No, oh thats right, you're just ignoring reality and using the tiny bits of silly things that you want to use to put assange on some silly pedestal.
If you really believe that he's afraid of Sweden shipping him to the US, you're an ignorant moron.
'nudge nudge' 'wink wink' would have simply put a bullet in his head over 2 years ago if they wanted to. The only person who cares about what Assange says at this point is himself. No intelligent person gives a shit what he says anymore, he's proven repeatedly that he's nothing more than an attention whore who twists things to promote his own personal agenda.
You've just described the teaching methods of the world's most popular religions, so I guess all those folks are out.
sigh, you do realize you're an anti-religious troll right? The worlds religions aren't the issue, extremists are, extremists don't need religion to be extremists, its just a convenient twist on the work done by someone else for their own personal gain.
Which is essentially what you're doing, recognizing that you don't appear to be an extremist, but you're still just warping what someone else did to fit your own silly agenda.
However, there are millions of admins of varying skill levels. ICANN is a small organization with individuals paid far more than they deserve that are supposed to know not only who these things work, how they are intended to work, how they are expected to work and how they are used in the real world.
ICANNs job is to take shitty admins into account when they do these things. Defacto standards can not be ignored, things like.mail are one of them, regardless of how stupid it was for someone to use them.
I can't actually figure out any setup where this will fix something without the admins of the network in question already knowing about the problem, obviating the need for this crappy hack in the first place.
I finally figured out the actual, though retarded, purpose.
You set up modified name servers, existing software doesn't do it.... When you query corp.mail (for example) and you have it internally, YOUR name server also checks for an external one in public DNS... And then your resolver fucks EVERYTHING. Up by returning a local host address if there is both internal and external names, ignoring the problems that's going to cause in and of itself by returning loopback addressing.
This is absolutely retarded.
I can not possibly imagine a situation where this helps an admin. Anyone setting their network up to detect the issue is going to just RESOLVE (pun intended) the issue directly.
So the solution here is that when someone looks up a domain that isn't registered, but uses a TLD that could be... its going to resolve to a 127.0.53.53... and thats magically better than not resolving to a different site... okay, but not by very much.
Second, they're going to postpone some TLDs that are 'popular' on private networks... WHAT THE FUCK made you create these new TLDs in the first place? Did you just pull some TLDs out of your ass and say 'great plan' and only AFTER saying you would create them start to think about the impact?
What the hell kind of setup does this actually affect anyway? So you lookup an internal name only after you get an NXDOMAIN from a root server or something? I've not been a sysadmin/netadmin by profession in a few years, but in all the networks I manage (home, small office) we lookup names internally FIRST and if it doesn't exist internally, THEN it goes external, and the internal servers are AWARE of the location of servers for all internal names. If my internal servers aren't aware that corp.mail exists on server 10.69.4.2 then how the hell are they ever going to resolve it?
Pardon my out of date ignorance, but this really sounds pretty silly and adding a bunch of false resolves when there should be nothing more than an NXDOMAIN.
And for the record, most of these new TLDs are just stupid and never should exist. Either make it a free for all and get it over with with a few names reserved for internal use, or stop adding new TLDs willy nilly.
I'm shocked they didn't go ahead and add a.local TLD just to really fuck it up.
All software can be decompiled so your 'freedom' is never really impinged. The likely hood that Linus himself has the knowledge of something like Gnome or KDE to ensure it has no backdoors, trojans or viruses attached to the C source is pretty much exactly 0.
Yes, he is capable of it, but he doesn't have the time to learn the system well enough to spot clearly obvious problem code, let alone spot an even mildly obsfucated block of code, or one that was really well hidden. The number of people that can do so, and ARE doing so is so small, its no different from closed source.
Now tell me what good the source is to all those people that don't have the ability at all to read it, let alone understand it, and forget about the time it takes to do so.
Its a good thing, but only in the most superficial way and pointless way.
Okay, so you use a shitty email client, then ignore that browsers (all of them) have had drive by download bugs and pretend you're immune to the problem.
The HOSTS file 'solution' you implement only helps for known hosts. You don't know them all regardless of how arrogant you are.
Judging by your act, I find it highly suspect that anyone would call an asshole such as yourself to ask for help with their 'infections'.
You're whole post wreaks of arrogance and talking out your shithole.
The Volume Shadow Copy service allows things to make copies of open files, nothing more. It in no way does 'backup' of any sort by itself, its just an API that allows access to files for backup purposes.
System Restore provides these features, such as 'Previous Versions' in conjunction with VSS.
Yes, the criminal stole the car and committed the actual crime.
However, the moron who left the car in a conspicuous place with the keys in the ignition is also guilty of culpable negligence in some places as well, just like the parent who leaves a loaded gun on the coffee table which results in his kid blowing his own head off.
You do realize that they are supposed to be paying for MSE, right? Its free for personal use, not business. If they don't want to spend any money they should probably not be in business.
The idea is to break the cultural link between receiving income from the state and being a layabout.
Ah, so its not about solving a problem, its about being Politically Correct and pretending we care about fellow human beings rather than actually doing anything about it.
Much like minimum wage, the only thing you'll accomplish is raising the cost of living until the BI no longer does anything useful.
