That statement was a lot truer a decade ago when there were still pay-phones all over the place.
But you can't just turn the clock back.. If you want to participate in society (say.. by having a job...), you have to have some communication availability. In the 1830s, you didn't need a phone because no one had one. Today, you might still get by without one, but you'll be limiting your opportunities by giving them up to people who do have that communications availability.
When was the last time you negotiated a job entirely by mail and in person? How about a date?
Indeed it is not as efficient as it could be. However, using it is only slightly more complicated than "buy a usb hard drive and plug into computer"
An efficient, totally ideal process that no one actually bothers to use because it's either too complicated, or because it isn't actually licensed for your platform or whatever, is no backup system at all.
Also, ZFS is a filesystem that can be set up to preserve version information. It's not a backup while it's on the same disk....
CastrTroy's comment was that nightly backups are too far apart, when compared to what's actually possible without significantly increasing the size of the retained data.
Why have only nightly backups, when with incremental backups, you can have minute-by-minute backups, or transaction-by-transaction backups.
Seems to me that the solution in that case would be to size the tapes so that a "full backup" would be significantly less than the total capacity of the device, and then add deltas until you either fill up the tape, or pass some kind of time cutoff. Then start over with a full back up on the next tape.
That way you could say, "here's exactly what the server looked like on the 34th of Smarch, 2009, at 13:59 UTC, and here's what it looked like at 14:17"
Who writes the drivers ed courses? I'd have assumed it was some kind of national or state-wide authority that maybe is charged with traffic and highway safety...
I think 10/2 came from back in the days before power steering where you maybe got a little bit more leverage as you turned the wheel. WIth 9/3 spacing, you get maximum leverage right a way, but then it decreases every degree you turn after, so you have to reposition your hands sooner.
This is not really important now that every car has power steering, though. And shouldn't be important at speeds over 30mph anyway.
For those not familiar with the NE, every street corner has a Dunkin Donuts and bar. Catholic churches are pretty common as well, but even in rural areas, there are dunkin' donutses within view of other dunkin' donutses on the same street with very little in between.
We like our coffee gross and our pastry dry and thick.
We would do well to remember that this flood of new restrictions is all in "response" to an incident in which two school bus drivers were following too closely to each other and the tractor trailer in front of the pickup truck in front of the buses, resulting in the death of the driver of the pickup truck and one of the students when the busses were unable to avoid crashing through the pickup truck and into the semi.
This was deemed to be the pickup driver's fault, of course....
In CT, we have the highest state tax on gasoline and among the highest in tax per capita. We probably have the most underfunded state pension fund in the country.
You can't be doing worse than your neighbors to the east...
If you want to have a government, you have to fund it somehow, but there's no rule that says you have to fund it with a byzantine system of vague, complexly interacting, administratively burdensome taxes. Tax preparation and related services occupy something like 1% of the economy. Which, subtracting out government spending, is an even more significant bite of the real available resources.
Every time you complexify the tax code, you add more more work that needs to be done by someone, further reducing the efficiency of the economy regardless of what fraction of it you think should be directed by government.
I think blizzard already has enough head shrinkers helping them design games that are only just rewarding enough to make players want to keep coming back for that big satisfaction that's always just out of reach.
Nothing wrong with having cross-field skills. Many advances come out of problems that are solved in one area and which solutions apply to another area where they weren't aware of the other field's solution.
Liberals. We're not using words correctly any more. We're in a world where so-called "liberals" want to preserve the existing power structure all over the world, to the point of idolizing murderous, oppressive dictators and bullies.
I'm not sure that "liberal" is the right word. In my mind, a liberal is someone who craves liberty, which today's crop of tell-you-what-to-do liberals most certainly do not.
But.. If I bring in full-on, insulated, circumaural studio headphones to work to listen to instrumental music while designing stuff on the computer, I will appear to be isolated from my coworkers in a way that might be construed as antisocial. Which would have an impact at my salary review...
My personal experience is that they're pretty variable in pain relief. I assume that different causes of pain are more susceptible to different drugs, and sometimes I happen to pick the right one, but I'm not aware of any way to tell which kind of pain I'm having or how it matches with which kind of OTC pain reliever. Is there such a resource for determining it? I don't think the labels are very helpful in this regard.
They shouldn't have your credit card number in the first place. You should be using a virtual account number for online credit uses.
But I still think you have a good point about the private information. Especially your watched or rating history. In the wrong hands that could be fodder for some good character assassination no matter what's on the list. Even moreso if you had "Birth of a Nation" out for a month and a half for a college course...
Have the people you're close to tried the other over-the counters, Aspirin or ibuprofen, etc?
I've personally found paracetamol to be pretty ineffective in just about any dosage, for pretty much every type of pain I've ever had (however, I've known people who found it effective for their own pain). This sucked growing up when I used to get terrible headaches and my parents were afraid of reye's syndrome and assumed all NSAIDS were aspirin for some reason (tylenol marketing dept, I assume...), so that's all I got....
Looking at the wikipedia page, I now find it pretty ironic that I was taking liver poison in an effort to avoid getting a liver disease...
You want to look at some demographic tables before making this requirement? If 1:20 is the maximum, then the average be even fewer students per.
The median wage in the US in 2010 was $26,000. How many workers per teacher are needed to support the 1:20 ratio? How much can we afford to pay each teacher if that's the ratio we choose?

Nobody "needs" a cellphone

Is that how we do things, though? Just arrest people and hold them while gathering evidence until a trial?

Unfortunately, neither are the prices...
I didn't realize the U.S. and Canada were now considered "the world". Wow.
I take it you're not a baseball fan...

Most people don't drive while wearing helmets? And custom molded seats with five-point harnesses?
Indeed. The problem is this - Most people aren't libertarians.
Everyone wants to be free, but few want everyone to be free.
Until this changes, none of us can be free.

I notice that "adjusted cost basis" does not appear to account for inflation....
Uh.. What accent? ê? é? è? ë? (ê é è ë)I can't find any resource that suggests there's an accent.
