The fact is that it was his job title on a sub in the Navy - plenty of evidence of that. That's enough for my point, so I really don't know why there are thin skinned fanboys or whatever the fuck they are trying a bit of Soviet style revisionism over something so trivial.
With respect, they have dominion over absolutely everything that the constitution does not forbid and there has been a bit of an inroad into some of those areas as well.
After graduate studies in nuclear physics at Union College in Schenectady, New York, Carter was selected by Admiral Hyman Rickover to serve as engineering officer of the Sea Wolf, America's second nuclear submarine.
I've got no idea why people feel inspired to "correct" others based on wild guesses instead of reality in situations as trivial as my post above. Care to enlighten us "jordanjay29". At least your own motivations will be something that you will actually know about.
Yes, but not even being prepared for even something as mundane as a prolonged power outage or some idiot unplugging the server from a UPS to do a workplace heath and safety cable check is a sign of not taking things seriously when it's something that will take a long time to redo. Sorry to be blunt, but if you are running multi-day stuff with a risk of losing days of work due to a crash or power failure it is a toy operation instead of anything resembling professional work. Sometimes it's the fault of the vendor making a toy instead of serious software, but either way someone in the chain is just playing instead of working.
Well mine is (Nokia N900 running a debian variant) which is why I can still get current software for it years after other stuff of the same age has been thrown away and how I can log in to manage WORKSTATIONS and SERVERS with it.
Instead of the shiny possibilities that were hinted at in the 1990s we get a half arsed copy of an iPhone interface ported to a desktop - that's part of why we yell at the dragging anchor of computer technology. Since we are helping out people neck deep in a malware swamp can you really expect anything more than contempt for those that created the situation instead of delivering actual improvement? Their "solution" to malware is to make their own stuff act like it!
Do you need access your corporate network from home
Multi-platform if done correctly. Also the serious stuff on that corporate network is probably running *nix anyway. If you think email is "serious" then you've got a bloated example of it where even the name tells you to swap it for something else.
Yes you don't need them but they have a pile of features that are useful. Just like sed, grep and awk, you don't need them but they can save you a lot of time sometimes.
RC planes have for decades been exempted from other FAA rules, are they now caught up in all this?
In some places there have been strict rules on them for decades but sensible ones - a ceiling, restricted near airports and rules about line of sight. People using drones violating sensible rules is "why we can't have nice things" and how restrictive long lists of rules happen which I'll bet will rope in the RC planes as well. See also how idiots making a huge amount of noise about plastic gun parts are getting regulators busy over 3D printing.
I should add that the "Stefansson explained this" doesn't mean it was true because the man was an infamous liar who deliberately left his subordinates to die on the Karluk, but it still sounds likely. That expedition was pretty well the textbook example of how not to run a polar expedition. It is interesting to read about though.
Plus you can be way away from the cesspool that is known as Detroit.
From afar that place and New Orleans after Katrina both look like good examples of the the "every city for itself" mentality of running a country is utterly fucked in the head. Detroit was a powerhouse of the economy in the 1950s when it was helping prop up other places and now it's been left to swing in the breeze.
Fair enough, but the Indian would have not only had a shower that week but on that very day! It must be the influence of a cold climate or something but the habit of some Americans of bathing infrequently gets very disgusting once they visit a place where snow never falls.
Ironically I avoided the stress by going to work for a resources exploration company where everything has to just work no matter what. Having two of everything and fallbacks to older solutions reduced those weekend and late night calls to zero.
The US seems to export a large number of execs who have that exploitative slave owner mentality the second they get into a place with lax labour laws. I don't know whether it's a case of getting rid of dead wood or if that mentality is still rife in the country club set.
Yes. That's probably part of why the little Inuit girl with the group died about ten years back while the many of the other expeditioners died a century ago. She ate her blubber etc. One of the dairies from the expedition did have a lot of complaints about a lack of carbohydrate (oats etc) but a different word was used starting with f that I can't recall. There's some recent speculation that Mawson's group in the Antarctic were in a similar situation because the vitamin A poisoning from dog liver theory no longer makes sense - observed concentrations are orders of magnitude too low. The ice the bodies were buried in drifted out to sea a few years ago so it will probably have to be speculation, but anyway the understanding of diet has changed a bit from back then.
The people who know about those rockets are still employed in doing things with rockets of that type. I thought it would be obvious but maybe you are short of sleep or something so didn't fully comprehend what I had written.
Still doesn't alter the base fact, though, which is that with banning of guns, 'violent crime' simply changed it's tool enough that they had to ban a new tool, and the root problem, violent crime, remains unresolved.
No. The number of incidents per year have been in steady decline for years. That indicates that something is working. I know there are idiots that make up some sort of fantasy about far away places with the hope that nobody will check the reality - but you are not one of those are you? You are not fooled by people like that any longer are you?
Some idiot political intern suggests banning plastic knives and gets their idea shot down before it makes it into law and suddenly it's put up as some international example of the world going to hell if anything outside the bedroom is regulated? How fucking petty. Absolute freedom for all except for women, gays, blacks and people from a religion the guys in charge don't like - those far right gun nuts are utterly fucked in the head and I could probably shoot better than most of them by the time I was nine years old anyway. If you are not one of those total wastes of space you should be ashamed for being gullible enough to fall for their PR.
So it wasn't deliberate? Sorry I'm so touchy, there's so much deliberate bullshit about Australia from the NRA weekend weenies that want military guns but are too cowardly to serve their nation and earn it that I mistook you for one of those losers that can't even run a sports club but want to enforce their incompetence on the entire western world.
Which means that after five years of 'ban the plastic knives!
Check the date. It's five years old. The idiocy you describe never made it into law so was never enforced.
If I was in charge of NASA, I would have hoarded all the Saturn V parts, and kept them under lock and key.
Why? They are completely useless as launch vehicles without the people and infrastructure required to launch them. After a couple of years that was beyond easy recovery, after a few more beyond anything short of a major rebuild, now they are just a monument to what we used to be able to do.
This is where we need someone to add those last few features to VLC as a plugin or something instead of just hoping for someone caring within the MS media player group. I'll bet the people involved with the earlier media player are long gone and the ones there no don't have the time, resources, skill or the care factor to implement to features in the old version. Yet another argument against closed software. The people with the source code to the old version are not going to use it or let anyone else use it. They have taken their ball and gone home.
I'm curious - if it's that critical why is it running on MS instead of Oracle/solaris, linux, *bsd or any of the other stuff known for stability and far less overhead? If a lawyer goes to them saying "MS whatever crashed after only a couple of weeks" the MS lawyer will just laugh and point at the bit in the fine print about fitness for use and how they don't accept responsibility for anything that critical. I have geophysical stuff here running for weeks, and there are two main things to consider: 1/ Snapshots so you can restart if something goes wrong and software that supports using those snapshots so you can restart at the day eight snapshot or whatever. 2/ An operating system that does very little apart from what you want it to do, thus no background stuff adding an extra few percent (thus several hours) to a long job.
MS have not been interested enough in such a space to make any serious sort of effort to occupy it. Using it for the task is like making car assembly robots out of LEGO.

Carter was a nuclear engineer but came off as dumber than Reagan. Not saying stupid shit in public is a different skill to others.

Considering the drivers are different it does not stand to reason at all.
It is case by case.
That would fill whatever is left of the SSD I have Win7 on to play games.

One thing that puts me off is the Win10 availability notification box keeps crashing!
WGwhatever.EXE has had an unknown error.
