You know, typo's aside, this is tragic. Many people live paycheck to paycheck. I used to, up till fairly recently, and I'd still be hosed if this happened because my rainy day money is not in a bank fund.
I would be calling for people to be put against the wall for this. -nB
For our critical stuff we hav 4 layers to get to production: 1) I do Foo and test it on my dev machine on an unsigned system 2) I submit my Foo to the build system, it builds it for unsigned systems and it is tested by our QRE/Validation department 3) Once things look good, it is signed, then deployed to our Validation dept to run on signed systems. 4) If it is still looking good, then it is deployed.
And we're not even a banking related operation... -nB
If you like it, yes. If it is hell on earth, then I suspect you'd entertain a pay cut to flee. That's been my experience. I'm where I'm at going on 12 years now. There is some loyalty from the company, and in return, since the work environment is sane (I'm a SW/FW dev and get OT) I stay. -nB
This kind of situation was the inspiration for the character Wally in the Dilbert comic strips. He couldn't quit or he'd have to repay tuition, but if he was fired or layed off he was off the hook; thus he did as little as possible. -nB
Seriously, there is nothing new about nuclear devices in space. In addition they have an excellent safety record, both the RTG kind and the few "conventional" powerplants. -nB
~37683609004.8mB (using ultra naive calculation of distance to the moon in inches of water converted to mB) given that the distance to L1 is ~1.28367717 × 10^10 inches that means we really only need 3196356153.3mB to reach L1 and the rest of the trip is free. -nB
How to aim this and deal with air currents is someone else's problem.
Nuke. Ironic with all the possible solar up there, but I think a 20MW nuke would be a good thing to have at your lunar base. What if the solar cells have a fault, and you can't charge your repair equipment to fix the fault? Solar for peak demand, nuke for UPS demand. -nB
No no no, you see that would make sense. The government at no point whatsoever should attempt to make sense, if making of sense is found to have happened it must be destroyed ASAP. I as an independent citizen must also not have access to water company information before I dig, because that too would make sense, hence the river through my backyard when a neighbor (who *did* call first) ruptured an 8 inch main. If I was a terrorist, planning on causing a pressure fault in one segment of water service while inducing a severe water hammer in another were to ask, I would be provided with not only the layout of the system; I would helpfully be given specifications to all the valves and suppressors used as well. -nB
I rip all movies I own. I simply prefer the experience of not having to watch trailers, FBI warnings, etc. The last time my wife rented a movie and popped it into the DVD player, she was shocked that she had to watch trailers and crap... I thought it was funny. She didn't want to wait for me to rip it but to be honest by the time the movie actually started I could have finished ripping it. -nB
goodwill. It is an asset that is actually on P&L statements. it's kind of a bitbucket for corporate image, brand value, etc. In this case it's value is in the fact that by making the service not user hostile, they are preventing a "nicer" service from displacing them in the market, thus you will visit again, not for the same video, but for different videos, each time you visit they get an ad hit. Indirectly, yes it is Advertisement Revenue, since that's the only thing Google really monetizes, but it is indirect in this case (banking on future visits is the direct value add).
Yes it would look like your traffic. Yes you need a server (this can run as a process on your PC). No routers currently operate as an exit node (that I know of).
I have to disagree. I do not think that someone who is interested in children will overstep a social norm because of the lack of pictures/movies. I am sure there is room for outliers who may, but there are likely outliers in the other direction who would have but without pictures never went down that road. The numbers are likely to be close enough to be a wash.
My point is that either a person is willing to cross that line or they are not. -nB
I don't play WoW, so I may be wrong (or outdated). But as I understood it bots are "allowed" but you have to be at the keyboard at all times. Kinda Like Google's self driving car in NV and soon CA. -nB
Back on Halo we mod'd a couple maps. We had shotguns that fired sniper rounds instead of pellets that had the impact of the rocket launcher. used in a fairly constrained level made for hilarity as people ganked themselves almost as often as they got a kill. As long as everyone obeys the modified rule set then it still isn't cheating though, it is a modified ruleset. Cheating is when someone violates the social construct of the environment for their own gain. -nB
Brass can be re-used as is in many cases. Another way to reuse brass: My co-worker has a die that will take a.22 casing and make a bullet jacket out of it, just fill with lead and you're done. -nB
Just a thought: Removing the microstamping is going to be illegal (if it already isn't). It would follow that all replacement pins would be required to be microstamped (and you couldn't make your own). how many rounds through a gun before the microstamp is occluded? (either by wear down, or but material filling the grooves). Simply emulate that amount of wear for plausible deniability. -nB
I don't think he will be mad about that. Mad about the devs leaving, sure, but not about the commercial fork. If they contribute back to the main trunk, then I think all is well.
Seriously, Theo may be a bit aggressive, but he's not an idiot, the BSD license allows this more clearly than anything else out there short of public domain. -nB
One grain of wheat for the first square, two for the second, four for the third eight for the forth and so on... Seems plenty reasonable until you realize that by the 64th square you've committed the global (at the time) wheat production of the world for a long time.
Yeah, but the only reason to get a MFA in Byzantine Art History is to decode the secret symbols to activate the ancient machine of doom so you can be a James Bond Villain, holding the world for ransom for enough money to pay off the loans. Thus the graduation ceremony should result in immediate imprisonment. -nB
You really can't extrapolate the legislature's education level to the rest of the country... If that was possible then 90 something percent of us would be lawyers. -nB

TOR is too slow.
I use a VPN to my server in a DC and from there an https proxy server with an exit point outside my country for most browsing.
Makes for some good AI dev skills. And really a good testing ground.
