Doesn't help. The exploit can be delivered via DVB-T or DVB-S, so if you watch OTA or satellite TV, it is game over. From there, it can set up the wireless network itself, connecting to an attacker-provided hotspot.
Please provide a link where I can buy a cheap 16TB tape drive. Even an LTO-7 is too small, so you have to play tape jockey, and the tapes cost about the same per TB as the disks. And that is after you find the extortionate amount for the drive.
Tape possibly makes sense if you can afford an autoloader. HP has a LTO-6 autoloader for $4,239.99 that will do 20TB really (50TB fake). It will, however, only backup/restore 560GB per hour. Let us hope you have a slowly changing dataset and incremental backups are your thing...
The reason why 2.5" became popularin servers is that servers usually care about IOPS ratherthan capacity. For capacity, they tend to access storage somewhere else.
If you open a 15K 3.5" drive from back when those seemed like a good idea, you'll discover that it consists of a less-than 2.5" drive and a bunch of eitherair or metal around it. No one managed to make an ACTUAL 3.5" 15K drive, the forces involved are just too great.
There also wouldn't be any market for it, as practically all potential customers would be short-stroking it to lower worst-case latency.
Manufacturers took advantage of loopholes and leeway in the regulations, but as far as I am aware (and I have been following dieselgate closely), no cases have been found where manufacturers produced falsified documents.
They falsely stated emissions that they could not in fact do in practice. The cars were registered and license plates issued under false pretences.
If the correct values had been provided, the cars would not have been street legal. Getting them registered anyway is fraud.
This wouldn't have been a problem if you hadn't provided falsified documents to the authorities when getting your diesel car registered. Now obviously you didn't KNOW you did so, since you in turn got defrauded by the car manufacturer. That isn't my problem though, I just need you to stop poisoning me.
Since the legal system has proven to be completely incapable of dealing with dieselgate, we are forced to turn to local politicians to help. Sucks to be you.
Either way, hybrid petrol cars provide the benefits of diesel without the downsides. Manufacturers have made it entirely clear that they are unable to produce small diesel engines (less than 3L, perhaps) with acceptable levels of NOx output. Hence banning them is the only reasonable option.
Nuclear generation is pretty much constant - it gains no benefit from efficient storage - the plants don't store power anyway.
That is the problem with nuclear. Load is far from constant. Nuclear is reliant on peaking plants babysitting it, just like wind and solar does.
The main difference is that solar production actually correlates pretty well with load in large parts of the world, and that renewables are dropping drastically in price so you can afford to over-build and throw power away. This is unfortunately not true for nuclear.
It doesn't work particularly well on Mars. No one has ever done proper nuclear in space.
The only nuclear energy in space has been RTG's. Feel free to build as many RTG's as you want on Earth. They are wonderfully safe devices (unless someone deliberately takes them apart). Just don't expect electricity from RTG's to be cheap or plentiful, because it won't be.
And it strikes me that for scientists who think about and investigate this stuff every day, predicting 'bootstrapped' methane emissions as at least a potential problem should have been a no-brainer.
They probably had no data or solid modelling supporting it. Most scientists are wary about publishing alarmist articles, unless they are very sure.
This is also a reason why the sea level rise estimates were known to be way below what was likely to actually happen, for a long time. They are betternow that models have improved.
Fusion bombs aren't really fusion bombs. They use fusion as a neutron generator, but the majority of the energy comes from fission, triggered by all those neutrons. Fusion as a neutron generator can be relatively easily done in a lab, for non-bomb purposes.
Truly energy-producing fusion is not available even in bombs.
Have they everheard about what a frying pan does to food? A barbecue? Just plain boiling water?
The site is completely inane. You should feel ashamed forquoting it. Like this bit:
"Even when the microwave oven is working correctly, the microwave levels within the kitchen are likely to be significantly higher than those from any nearby cellular phone base-stations."
Yes. Duh. Radiation from phone base stations is incredibly low in the average home. A phone, with its specialized single-purpose detector, often has trouble catching the signal. So yes, even with the microwave oven working correctly, the microwave levels are above zero. Ooooh scaaary.
Why would people vote in politicians who are likely to do things that are contrary to their own interests?
If, as you say, Australian politicians ended up enacting legislation that was unpopular enough to destroy their careers, why were the Australian people stupid enough to elect them in the first place? The American voters seem smarter then, in comparison. Although thegarbz seems to be refuting the example anyway.
Blaming politicians is just another excuse for not taking responsibility.
but this is because politicians failed to act 30yrs ago. Seriously? Politicians should have acted 30 years ago? What exactly should they have done 30 years ago, that wouldn't automatically make them lose their next election?
You can blame the people, not the politicians for doing what the people want.
Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright? None I say! Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill.
This is absolutely true, as long as both are equally enforceable. Alas, so far tax has a better track record there.
Cap-and-trade has somewhat worked for fishing permits, but it also turned what was a bunch of fairly independent fishermen into a few financial companies that happen to also catch fish. Whether this would have happened anyway is of course unknown, so it is not guaranteed that it was cap-and-trade that did it.
Yes, the ballot is stored folded in a sealed labelled envelope until it is needed. The person who takes the ballots out of the envelopes and puts them in ballot boxes could unfold them and look. Hopefully they will get caught if they try that.
In Denmark, with postal votes you can vote early and vote often... Only the last vote you cast will count. So you vote one way in front of your employer, anotherway in front of your spouse, and then you do the real vote on your own.
So you want Google to accept standard SDXC cards, while not being able to actually use the term "SDXC" due to trademark rules, and you want the Google tablet to reformat them to btrfs. Without even being able to check if they're full of photos.
But tell me where I can get a 15" laptop with 4k display and a great touchpad?
It should have USB-C, USB-A, ethernet (I hate that connector), and HDMI, but it should also not weigh much and look half decent.
I am typing this on a MacBook Pro, and the new MacBooks are ludicrously overpriced so my next laptop won't be one. I am just not very impressed when I look at the alternatives.
My current MacBook was merely ridiculously overpriced, but it was the only laptop that could fit two readable "A4" pages on the screen at once. Today, with 4k displays commonly found, that part should at least be fixed.

Rambus is a scam too, so they fit in well.
Debt is fine, if you can print money in the denomination of the debt.
If you can't, be careful. And that holds whether you are a nation state, a company, or a person.

Those are brilliant points! This makes it a lot easierto visualize.
Alas, I've commented, but perhaps someone else can step in and mod up.

OK, then let us put it another way.

Yay for being able to move two hexes per year!
Much more important than an extra energy per hex in one city, unless you're doing one city challenge.
It's a quote. It is from the game "Alpha Centauri", which contains a lot of other insightful quotes from different perspectives.
It was sort of an attempt at reductio ad absurdum on my part.
Read my comment history, we are on the same side in this debate.

Good luck.
And replace it with what, exactly?
Likewise, Google won't put in flash cards, because they're Cloud dicks, you can.
Google just hates paying the Microsoft Tax on SDXC.
