That's exactly what Lock Out Tagout is for, to remove energy from the device and ensure it cannot operate. If a device can not be safely locked out it would never be allowed in an American facility.
They're totally automated. They're monitored from a control center somewhere but it's not like there's a driver for each train, there may be one person watching the whole system.
Actually the new rules do address this. They are required to allow you to do self installs of cable cards now, so at least you won't have to set up a service appointment and have a clueless tech come out to do the install.
Now if you're a TW customer and lucky enough to be in an SDV area you'll also need a Tuning Adapter that will fail every 30 days until you have a couple of service calls for that, but I guess we'll need to wait another 5 years for the next FCC ruling to fix that...
The suit is being filed by a Network Engineer. These are the guys who keep the local infrastructure running - its tough to outsource that kind of thing to India.
Check out page 47 of the PDF. There's a pretty interesting table showing the percentage of crashes attributed to each graphics vendor. Nvidia is way out front, with 25% compared to less than 10% for ATI.

I saw plenty of them yesterday at Guanghua Market in Taipei. The going rate here seems to be 10500 NTD.
CompUSA is the only real computer store near me (in Rochester, NY). Of course there's Best Buy and Circuit City (etc) but the selection was always a lot better at CompUSA. When I needed a hard drive or something in a hurry that was always where I went.
Large seamless displays are not that exotic, they're used all the time for industrial control and monitoring applications among other things. These guys make pretty nice displays: http://www.barco.com/
Does Hewlett-Packard actually make GPUs? I would think they would go with some off the shelf chips from Nvidia or ATI, surely those can push more pixels than anything else and they would have the advantage of a relatively standard API (opengl for example).
Is there some very specialised requirement I'm not seeing here?
But Oracle MultiMaster does not use a two phase commit! There is no guarantee that node B has received the data after the client commits. There is a guarantee that the data has been queued and will eventually be propagated to node B.
The problem comes when a client commits to node A, then switches to using node B (because it has detected node A exploding). It expects the data that it committed earlier to be there now, but it isn't.
Technically you are correct, you will not lose data, but it won't be available until the master comes back. I should clarify that I don't mean the real master. The scenario goes something like this: Client commits a change to Node A. Node A queues the change to be sent to node B. Node A explodes. That change never gets to node B until you repair and restart node A.
This is why multi-master is really not a good solution for HA.
Multimaster replication really sucks for HA. It only pushes transactions every N seconds, so you lose data if your primary master fails. You can theoretically set it up to push continuously but it leaks all kinds of resources.
I really don't think they had HA in mind when they designed multimaster. Actually, I don't know what they hell they were thinking...

I had a teacher in high school who graded OMR like sheets manually with an overlay that only had the holes cut for the correct answers.
Several times if I didn't know the answer I would mark more than one (you don't want to mark all of them, it stands out too much) and I always got credit.
The teacher seemed like a smart guy too, I wonder if he was doing it intentionally to see if people would figure it out.
If you're a gamer (or even if you're not) you should check out Child's Play. It's a charity set up by the Penny Arcade guys to give games and toys to kids in hospitals who need them.
Last year (the first year) they raised something like $250k and really did a lot of good for the hospitals.
It's a chance for gamers to show the community what we're really about instead of being stereotyped as violent misfits living in basements.
Remember how the US Government was complaining about not being able to get enough satelite bandwidth over war zones? Sounds like they just fixed that problem!

It would be illegal in the US anyway thanks to the FAA.

The Speakeasy speed test is just a re-branded version of speedtest.net. They have a lot more test locations to choose from there.
At RIT we used a program called "try", developed by one of the professors there. You can download it from his page: http://www.cs.rit.edu/~kar/software.html

Besides the site name is supposed to be a play on words, try pronouncing the url some time. It has nothing to do with directory structures.
