If you haven't figured it out, cities of people don't belong in the desert. Cities are wasteful irrigation. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Cities should be built where there is an abundance of resources to support it, not marginally enough resources. Supplying water to Reno is wasteful irrigation. Continuing to build in California in the desert areas of California is wasteful irrigation. And yes, that means a very big chunk of the state. If other countries kept on building new cities in the middle of deserts you'd probably say theywere crazy.
Point's still valid. Truckee River is low as is Lake Tahoe. You can't keep putting stuff in a desert that doesn't belong there and think nothing bad will ever happen.
It's always good to build in the desert when everyone around you is suffering from years of drought and the local river (the Colorado) is running dry. It's not like they will have to also hire a lot of water drinking workers to make it worse. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these people. I hope all of the south west dies of thirst. Fucking retarded.
But Oregon probably had a bunch if certified business analysts collect and write all the requirements in a water tight manner. If they used certified BA's (maybe they were ITIL certified) the requirements would have been perfectly clear.
But seriously, if Oracle can show that they met the requirements as written, the mess is on Oregon's head. I have seen too many BA's who don't know how to get to the details or how to document requirements properly. Too many bullet pointed excel spreadsheet business requirements out there. I don't have much respect for Oracle at the best of times, but even they can only build what is asked for. And if what is asked for isn't clear, they are supposed to (if they have any integrity) ask for clarification. If the client won't give clarification, they can only build it as best they can.
And at this point, here is where the supposed experience and expertise of Oracle should come into play if all the advertising it produces is worth more than a pile of tried turd: if the requirements are vague and the client can't or won't clarify them, they should have been able to fill in the gaps on their own to make a site that meets the needs of the health insurance seeking online customers. That is why people pay so much for their services, they are supposed to be good and have a depth of experience (or maybe that's offshore hires). But I guess that is what the court case is going to sort out.
Only one needed: that the Soviet Union (in whatever name you want to give it) deserves to be reinstated against the will of the majority of the people in the countries involved. But for kicks, that he deserves to be able to be president for life, that he looks cool riding around on a horse with no shirt, that he thinks being called short is unfair (he's practically a midget), that he thinks people believe he actually shot a {insert type of wild animal here}. Add whatever other Kim Jong Un/Il super dictator fake achievement cult of personality bullshit you want. Fuck, even his wife had enough of him and left.
It reopens the genre of post nuclear apocalypse science fiction. Personally I think news like this needs to be pushed to as much of the population as possible .
Russians should be just as scared of their little dictator making nuclear threats. They will be closer to the action and downwind of the nuclear fallout. Maybe Fallout 4 should be in Moscow, not Boston (another good reason to post the story on Slashdot).
I think there was a sub-thread in Slashdot a week or so ago discussing how good but subtle posts are lost on many on Slashdot. Nice try though... I agree with you.
The Inuit traditionally ate/eat no carbohydrates in the winter, which is 6 to 8 months long. Because there is none to be had in the high Arctic at that time. They are still with us after all these millennia.
I guess you forgot history, have a nice future. Rationalize why you can ignore what's happening to your neighbours all you want. I wish I knew your country so I could drink a toast and laugh when you are paying Russian taxes soon. I remember when everyone in Europe pussy footed around the Serbs while they ran Bosnian death camps and murdered thousands (Srebenicia? thanks Holland... but that was kind of recursive... Dutch had to rely on European fire support.... Europeans are famous for all talk no action.... Dutch are European... full circle... The people of Srebenicia never had a chance... ). Europeans only wanted to talk and negotiate while people died. Even Chretien that piece of shit let us watch our soldiers tied to a stake on a hill by the Serbs. To Europe's BORROR Clinton came in and bombed the shit out of Serb areas. "Oh please don't do that, we have to live next to these Serbs (backed by Russia who were therefor complicit) and they will be angry with us... we just want to talk." And how about that? The Serbs backed off. You can't talk to bullies. Third world, first world, Putin is still a bully. Talk is cheap for him. Have fun with your new overseer. Are you from Holland or did you just learn to ignore your neighbours being killed by them? Or are you a Russian shill? By the way, the first step in rationalizing inaction is to tell yourself and others the real solution is too simplistic so you can can't do anything.
The emails belong to their customers. What do you think their customers will do when all the their emails disappear? What would you do if your email provider decided to delete all your emails? In some instances it may be moot, that is for customers who make sure to download all email to at least one physical hard drive in their possession. I know I always make sure my emails don't live 100% 'in the cloud' on imap servers. But I am pretty sure most people don't follow my approach. Also, what about backups?
Enjoy the new cold war and worries of invasion. You deserve it. At least the nuclear scientists will have work rebuilding the nuclear stockpiles. Glad you'll have Russian tactical nukes pointed at you again, and NATO exercises chewing up your farmland. The movie industry will have their old enemy back and authors can start writing more post apocalypse books. I guess I have a more pessimistic outlook if we don't do anything now.
Supply Ukraine with weapons and training on them immediately . Anti armour weapons, man packable anti aircraft missiles, personal weapons, tanks (leopards would be nice), APCs, etc etc. Yes I know significant training is needed on some but it can be expedited/sped up (I have military experience from when I was younger so I'm not naive). The concept of running a tank should be the same to any tank crew for example... it is just the specifics of each model. Worrying about Russia learning about them is silly. They likely know a whole lot about our stuff already.
Fire Germany's reactors back up so they can reduce or eliminate Russian natural gas. Heavy meaningful sanctions that will actually hurt Russians at home. You do understand qthat Russia wants Ukraine under its thumb after this don't you? What Putin wants will essentially be Russia on the Polish border. He was an agent in Germany. He dreams of owning the Baltic states, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. again. And when he has them, the rest of Europe will be scratching their collective arses and saying, "Gee, how'd that happen?"
And quite frankly I'd love to see my government force natural gas pipelines to our coasts (and fast) so we can be an alternate supplier of natural gas to Europe. Fuck Putin and anyone in Russia who supports him.
Which is why the previous UK government was looking at road pricing, even going so far as a pilot study with four companies (I worked directly on this for one of them). And as cars move to alternative fuels/power many places that use tax revenue generated gasoline and diesel will be looking very seriously at doing this for real.

Russia and America aren't the only ones with nuclear generating stations. In fact they can't even claim to have the world's largest nuclear generating station.

it didn't. you're high again.
Pointing out traits of narcissistic psychosis in the leader of a nuclear capable nation is a good thing.

And just because you can lead a country doesn't mean you are rational. Putin: q.e.d.

Wow. Some pretty hard core stuff in there. :) I think this is the kind of tech news that will make the main stream news. Happy Monday Apple.
Just give them the means to defend themselves.
For MS... I know longer believe many people think about where their data is. Hence Gmail, iCloud, etc. Not for me.
But I has a silver lining.

More like Rogers Communications, Bell Canada, or Telus... maybe Shaw. Or all three.

To answer your questions about Ukraine:
Supply Ukraine with weapons and training on them immediately . Anti armour weapons, man packable anti aircraft missiles, personal weapons, tanks (leopards would be nice), APCs, etc etc. Yes I know significant training is needed on some but it can be expedited/sped up (I have military experience from when I was younger so I'm not naive).
