With credit card details entered via keyboard the reward could be enormous. With such an obvious motive I have zero sympathy for the utter losers that rushed their product out the door with inadequate security. The products are not fit for the purpose they are designed for.
I've just come out of a thread where a guy was insisting at length that hard drives don't get hot when they are used intensively so I am beyond amazement as to how little some developers touch hardware.
Not bullshit but a common and annoying "feature" on multi-display machines when a screen is turned off. Notifications can be sent to where a user cannot see them and if no action is taken a reboot happens. It's annoying for full screen gaming, home cinema, powerpoint presentations and similar situations.
Performance is a very obvious step below Win7 on some systems and the interface is confusing users. Maybe it will be ready for prime time after a few more updates but for the moment Win7 is still on sale.
So yes, a pile of little tricks can be learned so that users can start their applications and shut down their computers, but do you really want to be the one listening to dozens of people bitching about how crap the new interface that needs stupid little tricks is?
Open any office program and type Alt? See the shortcuts being shown?
Word 1.0 had that FFS and MS had a design guide where for instance ALT-f-x would exit a program. That got broken along the way and the shortcuts vary between programs.
While the interface is being adjusted to be usable and back-end items change is not a good time to be either reading or writing a hard copy book on a bit of software. The three or so hoops you have to jump through just to shut down is probably going to be changed since it's so ridiculous. Other things are likely to change. Vista changed a lot on the way to being usable and I think Win10 will as well even though it has less obvious flaws than initial Vista. The hidden icons offscreen from Win8 have already gone so other parts that came in with the "metro" idea are likely to follow.
Since it's so flaky at the moment things can be inconsistent - recently I couldn't even get the program menu up on a Win10 machine until a reboot and I initially thought I was fighting a GUI change but instead the "start" menu had crashed while whatever handles launch from icons had not.
Very hard to do since people stick a lot of stuff in their mouths. About the only thing to do is stack up a lot of data until the noise from other variables has less of an effect.
The behaviour is because just presenting the facts only worked until Thatcher and Carter (also worked with Nixon and Ford before him). Once Reagan rolled in on a wave of money from evangelicals and oil the facts didn't matter, and it's been like that since with global influence.
So how do you successfully work against deliberate lies while acting too nice to call anyone a liar? That's why it looks a bit grubby even on the side of those arguing for reality.
It's not actually about research. It's about funding speaking tours of non-experts and paying for PR pieces.
Can't get a scientist to push your line? No problem - find an economist who hasn't even published any economic papers and a guy the composes sudoko puzzles for newspapers to push your line.
Various lobby groups pretend the two are the same. Critical of someone in Israeli politics who is caught embezzling? You'll be called an anti-semite. Remember the shitstorm that descended on Robert Fisk for reporting on military actions in Lebanon and including a quote from an Israeli journalist? Apparently he was an antisemite for quoting a Jewish journalist that was a witness to an event that portrayed an Israeli military unit in a poor light.
So sadly to some people the two things are exactly the same and it means tiptoeing around issues of Israeli politics to avoid being dragged off into full Godwin territory.
The purpose of the example was to show how out of touch and blatantly partisan such screams of "treason" are and had nothing to do with whether Fischer committed any crimes other than treason. The example was obviously not about Fischer but about those railing against him in such an overdramatic way. It's about showing that we cannot trust such overt and inconsistent drama queens.
The rest you have added yourself in a somewhat embarassing argument about an analogy.
I am sorry to rain on the parade of alternative fuel sources, but one can't simply describe problems as solved when they've not been.
There are plenty of problems, especially with storage, but this is not one of them. Seriously - what's with the lecturing on a topic you haven't got a grasp of? Should I cue up a teenager to give you a lecture on databases or whatever you do so you can get how annoying it is? The snark about Gantt charts you sent my way is unfortunately what I have been thinking about your out of depth comments but was too polite to write until you decided to have a go at me. Please at least read the wikipedia article so that you can spot where you are getting it wrong.
but that requires cooperation from the laws of chemistry and physics: they do not care about Gant charts and quarterly progress planning charts
Metallurgy is about the former and that's my background before I moved into cluster computing - still no quarterly progress planning charts for me to do as yet.
The wikipedia page will help you with the chemistry and physics.
I wrote what I wrote and not what you appear to think I wrote. A lot of people, mainly on one side of politics, were calling it treason. A bit over the top don't you think?
Your bit pretending that I condone his actions is something you made up yourself. What I do not condone is people who want to inflate a chess game to the level of treason.
It's a problem that doesn't come up very often, is unlikely to ever come up in a hydrogen car (especially a fuel cell one like in the article due to nothing being very hot) and when it does come up it is easily avoided by proper materials selection. Some of those materials that can be selected are very cheap steels.
That's quite a different claim than "it's a solved problem because the Haber process produces hydrogen"
You are putting words in my mouth. I gave an example of an everyday industrial process that would be difficult and expensive if that problem occurred in that sort of circumstance, but it does not. Hydrogen embrittlement does not impact on that process. I gave it as an example because that's where I encountered hydrogen running through welded plain carbon steel tubes that were already over 40 years old.
Perhaps you should read the wikipedia article since you clearly consider your guess and key word recognition without understanding meaning to be superior information to what I was taught in a university setting and observed in workplaces. It will tell you far more than little anecdotes from me.
It would probably also utterly horrify you that I have used hydrogen under a bit over atmospheric pressure as a furnace atmosphere while sintering metal powder together:)
So now you are saying something about a conventional server and pretending it's the same as a 45 drive backblaze pod - what a pathetic and stupid shell game just for the sake of keeping an argument going! You can not possibly be as stupid as you are pretending to be.
Instead of jumping on threads to play some wank of a mass debate game where you attempt to convince people of things contrary to reality why don't you do something useful, or at least less annoying? You are in slimy confidence trickster preying on the weak territory and nowhere near the "Devil's Advocate" you are probably telling yourself. You had me going for a while and I really did thing you were as dim as your posts suggest but the bit about working drives not getting hot was a clue that you do not believe your own words your self and are just playing an argument game at my expense. It's not funny. I know to watch out for you next time - it's pieces of shit like you playing mind games that make this site far less enjoyable than it used to be.
The defence rests. Look guys, we've got a nut. He's only a gun nut because he has a gun. The idiot probably keeps it loaded all the time where his kids can get it.
Stuff happened around that time that made a very large number of companies not particularly successful and investment dried up. The companies that survived were the ones with money in the bank and not necessarily the ones with the best ideas or products. It also doesn't help much when your customers and potential customers either go bust or stop spending money.
Yes but to those people treason is beating a Russian at chess without permission to play the match. Meanwhile a "patriot" sells weapons to terrorists less than a year after those terrorists have killed more than one hundred US Marines. Why should we care how people with such fucked up concepts call traitors since it comes down to people in their Party can do no wrong while people outside are seen as evil?
The data says Backblaze don’t have any heat problems.
I've written about the data and so have you. You pointed out that the average temperature looked very high to you. I pointed out that it's an average over a wide range of conditions and doesn't tell us enough to justify a statement that they don't have any heat problems - and now I'm suggesting that the very high average that you noticed is probably due to much higher temperatures when they are not idle skewing the average up.
no worse than a standard server case with caddies
It appears you are just being silly for the sake of an argument since it's obviously nothing like that at all.
Nothing supports your assertion except your one friend
Who said anything about a friend? I was called in to solve a problem a company had with a new server. I suggested a case with better airflow. Problem solved.
Drive activity - even heavy drive activity - does not significantly change operating temperature over and above idle spinning temps
I do believe it's time for you to read a book on the topic instead of making stupid shit up or is that a deliberate lie to catch me in some silly argument trap or some kind of joke? Do you really have so little experience with computer hardware that you have not touched a drive that has just been removed after heavy usage, such as cloning a drive?
It's still used to make hydrogen for purposes such as making fertilizer, such as at the plant where I did some weld testing in 1999. If you are going to nitpick on diversions from the topic it's best to get it right!
