Where did you get this impression from? Toyota and Honda both publicly spoke out about this issue when it happened. Cars need parts, many of the plants that make parts for GM also make parts for the other manufacturers. If GM suddenly stopped ordering that would have killed or massively increased prices on the rest of the car companies and well as parts manufacturers.
The GM situation was not as simple as one company going under.
Except for the part where CAIR isn't fully implemented yet and thus the problem is still current. Thank you for providing further evidence to help shed light on an issue illustrating what the government could be doing to help stem climate change.
New York is certainly covered by the rule and projections show in 2015 acid raid caused by the Ohio Valley will be slowed to a halt assuming we don't end up with another presidency openly hostile to environmental interests. I'd like to say the current administration is better than the last one in that they haven't repealed anymore environmental regulations but they haven't put the Clinton era ones back in place that were stripped away either so it remains to be seen where they will ultimately stand.
That coal will burned regardless of those particular students activities so no, as individuals they don't have the ability to choose.
This is on top of the fact that they are students so they probably don't even own their own homes so installing solar isn't an option nevermind the problems you end up with at night.
I'm not sure why you're so quick to deride the efforts of people to bring this cause to the spotlight. Ever wonder why the solar panels at the Whitehouse got ripped out? hmmm...
Let's also keep in mind that the bulk of energy isn't consumed residentially. The power my office building alone consumes far outstrips my entire neighborhood.
How is this insightful? It's just vindictive. As a regular citizen you don't get to control where your power comes from, the government certainly does have this power which is why it makes sense to call this complete and utter non-sense to their attention. You seem to think the climate change debate isn't already a circus side show? It's been a circus for a decade now.
This stunt serves two purposes, calling attention to the absurdity of the climate change debate, and assuming you're right, it will call attention to how screwed up the checks and balances this country was founded upon have become.
That is absolutely one of the biggest environmental problems affecting rainforests in unregulated areas. As for U.S. forests, they've been battling acid rain in upstate New York my entire life. It was mostly contained to New York but it was starting to creep into Vermont before tougher environmental regulations made things get better for a while.
It's not so much that it's wrong, it's that it's not the only factor. It's easy to see even on individual basis that berating a child won't make them succeed anymore than saying good job when they've produced an incorrect answer. The truth like most things in life, lays somewhere in the middle. You have to be able to tell a kid he or she has done something wrong or incorrectly but you should take their feelings into account when determining the best approach which of course is not the same for every kid.
That is the root of the education system, with standardized tests and lawsuit happy parents thinking that treating every child the same is the best approach. Some kids need tough love, some kids are harmed by tough love, without the ability to adjust tactics accordingly there will always be kids that slip through the cracks.
Except then you only need one UPS to backup the switch. Sorry, but this problem does exist. Especially for someone like me who had to go from show to show setting up temporary offices for over 100 people. These things would cut my setup time in half as I don't have to run near as much power everywhere.
We do Autocad with similar equipment and 100meg is more than plenty for those 3d drawings. Gigabit is overkill for anything outside the server room and the Macs that can't go virtual in the office. How I wish they would go off and die.
Don't know about your impression of modern thin clients but the XenDesktop remote supports HDX and full screen flash video playback without a problem. I even hook up USB webcams to the thin clients for video conferencing.
Remember, this is basically just a machine that will remote desktop into a machine with much more horsepower behind it.
Not too mention that the POE switch in the closet has a battery backup and probably a generator meaning that during a power outage you can stay working!
Except for the reality that more snow means more moisture in the air which means higher temperatures. Go back in your records and look at the coldest winters compared to the winters with the most snow. My own personal experience backs this up growing up in Vermont. I remember those bright sunny blue sky days where it was -20F, so cold your nose hairs stick together. You ever wonder why the coldest days never had clouds?
At any rate, you should have learned in high school that the air can hold more water at higher temperatures. There is of course a saturation point but we're not yet in Vermont. Here in Arizona now we might be close to the other end of the spectrum as our summers have progressively been getting dryer and dyer as it gets hotter.
Of course you need to look at more than just local experiences and learn that most of this weather was predicted in the 80s which is quite sad.
It's not being naive, it's recognizing the fact that it is impossible to control every variable to become successful. There are many people that work hard and set reasonable goals that don't make it.
I did make it, and I recognize that the right people in my life gave me the push and opportunities needed for me to become successful. No one becomes successful on their own, it's not possible. We don't function as islands.
I've had this same argument with many people that think hard work is all it takes, pointing out that when they started their business they had to have some luck to attact enough customers to get the ball rolling.
Truth be told, I think it takes a lot more luck to become successful today than it did in the recent past, but probably still less luck than it took 100 years ago.
It looks to me like you and your friends live a very sheltered life. While I'm doing well, have almost no debt these days, and live comfortably, I see many who aren't so lucky.
Even while I was in college, from the first year to the last year tuitions almost doubled, since then they have continued to double. So while I was able to dig myself out of college debt through low interest subsidized loans, that's no longer practical given the cost of an education these days. This is largely due to a fundamental change in which people need to get educated. When I was in college, I went to one school for the whole time and got my degree. This is no longer possible for anyone that isn't wealthy. Now you start at a community college to get the rounded education and then transfer to a school with more resources to get the targeted classes you want to take.
Unfortunately, millions of students were trapped between the old way and the new way and were left with crushing debt.
Combine that with attacks on planned parenthood and a myriad of other aid programs and you have yourself a whole lot of people getting desperate. Desperate people can, will, and do make a lot of noise about the issue. Loud enough apparently to be heard all the way in Australia.
As a final note though, it isn't as bad as a lot of the media makes it out to be. It's just a very real problem and doubling down on failed strategies isn't going to dig us out. It's all well and good to say times are good for yourself and screw everybody else who didn't have the same combination of luck and success. I know I worked hard and became successful, I know many many people that have worked equally hard and only met failure.
Last I checked which was about two months ago HFS+ with journaling enabled does not work reliably at all on Linux. I ran into this problem with trying to create a Drobo that everyone could share. The reality is that the only option would have been was HFS+ with journaling disabled in order to have all three. NTFS-3g from my experience works great on Linux and like crap on OS X nevermind the fact that you wouldn't even be able to install OS X on an NTFS partition.
Security has gotten so good these days that all the holes in security we used to defend against are now be mandated by government to be put back in! In all the genius lets put all our data at risk again. Provide a backdoor for one party on the Internet and you provide a backdoor for everybody. We need more attack vectors!
I get wanting to be able to monitor data, there is zero reason this should be easy however.
I wonder where this idea that teachers shouldn't be part of the lives of students came from. I think all the media attention has overblown the issue so far that people think teachers should just be robots regurgitating facts and giving standardized tests. I remember growing up and teachers in high school would stay late or be part of extracurricular clubs. Hell, I learned Linux through a work shop, we'd all bring in computers and throw on Slack or Red Hat back in the early days. It wasn't an issue for our teacher to be there, he lined up a lot of resources for us.
As for "needing to friend," no one needs to friend anybody but a lot of people do it and it's a great way to collaborate on homework for schools that don't have the resources for real virtual assistance services. More to the point though, why not? How is a teacher accepting a student as a friend on Facebook detrimental? As stated before, as long as any student who asks gets accepted there is no appearance of impropriety or favoritism.
This looks like another administration stab at limiting liability rather than trying to protect students or teachers. Fear of lawsuits is the biggest problem with public education, it's also a huge issue with the healthcare system driving up costs for both.
In what world do you live in where teachers in NYC get lifelong healthcare or tenure? They can be "fired" at the drop of a hat simply by not renewing their contract. I have no idea where this image of teachers comes from. Also, pensions don't exist for the majority of new teachers. Most of this information is 20 years out of date.
Whether or not you use your house it contributes to the neighborhood either negatively or positively. The seller value of a house is often determined in part by the houses nearby and what they've been selling for but also the condition they are in. Additionally, a house whether or not you are using it will appreciate in value. You have the option to borrow against this higher value. On top of all of this, property tax is almost always a city tax. In Vermont, my local school received most of its funding through property taxes.
Should property taxes be modified so that people that maintain their houses pay less while those that don't pay more? It's hard to say, people that don't keep up their house as well as others are probably not as well off so you would be disproportionately harming poorer people. Seems to me like the current strategy is at least fair. Of course that again depends on which city you're in. Different cities in different states probably vary wildly from my admittedly limited experience.
How would you do PiP with AppleTV? It would be significantly harder than a simple Control 4 script with XBMC. Especially since Control 4 will help you do it.
That's how I referenced the Apple way, if you only want to watch movies and keep life simple then you will have an easy time of really any Apple product. Of course when you make your whole ecosystem exclude others then you leave the door open for someone else to do it better, that's when Apple will fall. Many people expected RIM to rule them all until Apple changed the game, you really don't think another company couldn't come along and change the game again?
Problem is the same size. If I have two or more routes to the same network then multiple routers are responsible for a given ip block. Its not really an attack vector because your create peering agreements with your providers and they are each responsible for holding up their own end of the deal. As disruptive as BGP errors whether malicious or through fat fingering are, it's not really that big of a deal to fix once the problem is identified.
I would think a DNSSec like infrastructure could help remove the possibility of malicious route modifications but in the end, if it's state sponsored then any system can be broken by even the proposed solution.

Tell that to James Diamond of JPMorgan Chase.

Of course I grew up around there so I'm quite familiar with it.

Actually acid rain is a big problem in the Adirondacks. Feel free to try again.

HPs current thin clients work well with LTSP so I have no reason to think these won't.

The real reason and it was stated in the summary is that the file system was HFS+ which is far less tolerate to this behavior than ext4.
