Sweet! So I lay off 20% of my employees each month, and a month later hire them back at 80% of their previous pay. And those worthless proles are obligated to accept it. Watch that bottom line soar. I'll be looking for an island like Big Larry in a year.
I can't be bothered to look up the reference right now, but shortly before the outbreak of the First World War, a book was published with the same thesis. That didn't quite work out.
So this means Brits and Eurozoners are more full of shit than Americans? I wouldn't have thought that even possible. They must have better compression algorithms over there.
This. Rational debate, disagreement without demonizing our opponents, and the spirit of compromise and consensus building all seem to be dead, dead, dead. I for one have been proclaiming to everyone I know, that come election time, every incumbent on my ballot is out, no matter what stripe they are. It can't be any worse than the losers we're stuck with now.
Wow, I scared myself with the last sentence. Please...
The carriers tout this because it's a convenient, simple exercise in dick-waving. No need to worry about complexities like device browser rendering limitations. Plus if they encourage some user to download some gigantic movie, they probably vastly exceed their data limit and get hit with nice profitable overage charges. Or the carrier can pretend to be "nice" and offer to move the offending subscriber to a higher cap data plan, for the lowlowpriceof$$$. The user gratefully agrees, downloads another movie, but probably gets tired of the wait anyway, or the tiny screen, and seldom or never exceeds their old smaller cap again, yet continues to pay the higher monthly data plan rate. Profit once again. It is good to be a carrier.
Stating that carriers had eclipsed battleships is really 20/20 hindsight. The reduced role of battleships was not generally recognized at the time. Certainly some data points had begun stacking up in the early part of WW2, e.g., the torpedo attack on the Bismarck, and the raid on the Italian fleet at Taranto. However, in the first case one could make the argument that the British had simply been extremely lucky to have made a crippling hit on the Bismarck. In the second case it could be argued that that the Italians had been idiots and failed at the most basic of defensive measures, allowing themselves to be surprised when they were ALREADY AT WAR for months.
I do not subscribe to the theory that FDR orchestrated Pearl Harbor. I believe Roosevelt and the senior brass expected the Philippines to be the primary target, and were surprised by the breadth and competence of the initial Japanese operations. The carriers being absent from Pearl at the time was a happy accident for the US. If the attack had gone in a couple of days either side of December 7, it would likely have found at least one carrier in port.
Finally, Hitler did the US a big favor by declaring war himself, relieving Roosevelt of the burden of convincing the public to go to war with all of the Axis powers at once.
Most clear thinking people understand that the biggest problem NASA faces is that mission development timelines invariably exceed the election cycle, so become hostage to short term politicking, invariably characterized as jobs in one's own district, or as reckless spending in someone else's district. Ideally, I believe the NASA budget should be funded on some sort of rolling 20-year schedule. This would give near and mid term certainty to allow for the ups and downs of major mission initiatives. It is also probably impossible since to implement it would require 20 years of appropriations up front (the alternative being something like the Social Security trust fund, and we all know how that is never raided for cash), not to mention that Congress never feels bound by their predecessors so changing the law re appropriation would be a near certainty when some critical Rep or Senator retired or was defeated for reelection.
What about giving NASA bonding authority in some reasonable amount? Bond holders could be first in line to commercialize scientific and engineering advances, get preferential treatment for contracts, etc., and perhaps would make an interesting speculative investment for the public.
Which of the 3000 people in the World Trade Center towers had spent decades organizing and carrying out mass murder, and publicly declared war on, well anyone? I'll wait here while you never answer.
OBL was a self-declared lawful combatant. He waived his right to due process. Period.
As for the violation of Pakistani sovereignty, the fact this mass murderer was living in their country for years while their military, police and intelligence services were unable or unwilling to do basic investigative work on what should be a quite suspicious property, indicates that the rule of law in Pakistan falls considerably short of a level warranting full sovereign rights. Particularly when US taxpayers are funding a sizable fraction of their government apparatus.
Your equation of these two events is so offensive and wrong that I can only assume you are mentally ill. Please seek psychiatric treatment.
10Base-T is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet standard, and as such does not require external termination. Presumably you're thinking of 10Base-2 over RG-58 coaxial cabling, aka Thinnet, Cheapernet, or my own appellation of "Effing piece of crap connector came off the cable again for the 3000th time because the idiot installers insist on using the same tools to crimp the ends as they do for RG-6 CATV so I hate my life as network guy for the school district net."
Feel free to avoid, but as others have noted, there are quite a few system configurations possible which would be completely unaffected by the SATA fault. Laptops in particular, but also various small form factor systems, and larger server class systems with separate SATA RAID, etc. Don't assume that everyone else's use case is the same as yours.
All that said, do your homework before buying an enthusiast board based on this chipset. Do your homework before buying $WHATEVER that you mean to rely upon.
This was the presentation in Minneapolis? I was there too. I thought it was excellent, as was the food. I did wind up wearing a bunch of salad dressing on my shirtsleeve though.
DNSSEC needs to get implemented, and that soon. Of course when I hear the statistics on how many ancient unpatched servers are out there with recursion turned on for world+dog, I want to cry.
It's okay. This is/. both sports and anything involving naked girls are mysteries here. Think of a home run as a successful compile of your favorite project on your Gentoo Linux running on your homebuilt octocore rack mount server in Mom's basement.

Step 3: Crush any nascent competition using 1 and 2 above.
Step 4: Profit!

I should add, I know there were 4000 in 1967. I was looking for an update on the subject.
Who cares how many roundabouts there are in the UK? Far more important, has anyone ever publicized how many holes there are in Blackburn, Lancashire?

So God is an old, bearded lady? That explains a lot about this world.
That would be cunning.
That's Franken-STEEN! Sheesh.

Sign me up right now to fail just as badly as Apple has here.

We are all to be replaced with small shell scripts. Or maybe if we're really special it will take a page of Perl.

Modded funny, but this sounds sickeningly likely to actually work.
Just tell her to bend over.
Is it wrong that I was hoping this didn't refer to the women's eyes?
Is it just me or does that aircraft look an awful lot like the WWII German Messerschmidt 163?
