Are people so bored, and mentally so obese from their consumption patterns, that they actually take this crap without protesting ? If this happened in the country I live in, I would be nagging MPs, protesting loudly and write mag / newspaper articles. How can Brits just take this silently ?
Nobody else but you will be blameable in case of a leak. And you can tailor the solution to your needs, to your specifications and to your use cases, both technical and functional. Oh, and here is a well-meant piece of advice: stop thinking of "the cloud". Don't. Just don't. If your data is so important, then host some hardware in a fire-proof, earthquake-proof place, run your self-built solution on that hardware in that facility, and off you go.
You, Sir, have much of my respect, "lowest position" or not. For doing this, for holding this position. It must be like living in hell with three ice cubes dealt out to you on a daily basis. Someone has to do it, and you do it. Respect.
Nonsense. Children are not innocent. Children are nasty, often cruel, little monsters in need of constant correction. "Innocent", in its original ( Latin ) sense, means "not (ob)noxious". Children are anything except "not (ob)noxious".
This morning, the news was all over the European newspapers and ( tech + news ) web sites. Yet it took more than half a day before it turned op on Slashdot, and indeed in many US media outlets. Why ?
Shipping hard disk drives ? Aha. Now that is a way to increase bandwidth, remember the old adagium "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a Boeing 747 full of DVDs";-)
Your comment is sarcastic, I know. And yet... I have serious doubts as to whether we can save the rhino, or the Sumatran tiger. Seriously: shouldn't we just let them die out, and let it be over with their misery ?
...many American friends and relatives of mine would be agape at my alleged lack of political insight when I said: "Jimmy Carter was one of the best presidents the USA ever had". And now...
Oh, well, thank you for the reminder. Of course, we casually exclude the diesel engine, the special and general theories of relativity, most of the advances in mathematics between 1900 and 1930, the rocket engine, penicilline, the compact disc, the near-certain discovery of the Higgs boson, and the Nobel Peace Prize for Michael Gorbachev ( 1990 ) and for the EU ( 2012 ).
I object against this, and wonder upon what fact material or research data you based this statement, which conforms more to general bias than to my personal observations. See my OP for first-hand empirical data. The girl I mentioned can take decisions on her own, and is actually preparing for taking a place in society, an undertaking she plans to fund by paid and skilled work. Most three-year-olds I know perform not so well:-)
Slashdot Mirror
Here in Europe, many people look upon Obama as the biggest US-caused / US-related disappointment in more than a century.
...there is no such thing as a well-functioning judicial system in the USA, dixit Jimmy Carter. I tend to concur.
This needs to be taken to SCOTUS, extra pronto.
Yes, and.... if the SCOTUS ruling concurs with this one, what are you, poor devils of American citizens that you are, going to do then ??
Aircraft carriers can be stopped pretty fast. With an M45 torpedo with its original warhead on.

Kewl sig, bro !

things like electrifying all our long-distance railroads and even do large-scale water desalinization
Very insightful. Mod parent up. The US is way behind Europe and Japan in terms of infrastructure.
Thanks, mate. Must have been in the wrong career for 19 years, then. Glad you are not my not-a-single-typo-forgiving-boss ;-)

Is that much ? If it is structured, and if the processing of it requires taking the structure into account - well hell yes, then that is humongous.

When you apply this to the city I live in, it becomes very clear what a nuclear blast can do. The numbers ( casualties, wounded, destroyed infrastructure, area affected ) are staggering, for a "common" B-61 charge.
But then again, am I a rhino ?
fucking time

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers" ( Thomas Watson Sr., IBM, 1943)
Obviously a lot of folks do want to wear computers. Even if you don't like it.
coupled with Italian design
and with hacked OS
PROFIT !!
So now we can actually make Red Bull drinkable ? Sounds like progress....
