I find it condescending and somewhat cruel the focus the politicians are putting on coding and programming. With ageism rampant in the field and large number of workers being forced out of their jobs while being insulted with the mandate to train their replacements, these actions are a slap in the face to everyone already in the field.
The powers that be are striving to make everything cheap ass manufacturing style work. That's what they're really getting at here. Big business thinks that all workers are too expensive if they make over minimum wage. This is just an effort to flood the market with cheap (and in the end poorly trained) labor. In addition to that if they don't train enough people to crash the labor market ( and thus the pay ) they'll import as much as is needed to do so.
Our political class, both sides, doesn't give a single fuck about any citizens in this country. They don't do a single goddammed thing that is good for the people. Every fucking action helps Wall Street or some big corporation or some powerful organization or "charity" that is only really a slush fund for connected wealthy elites.
This is all just hand waving and bullshit to keep us from realizing we're continually being sold down the river.
Yep. And all that noise about how unsafe the pipeline is will be exposed as so much bullshit when (not if) a derailment causes a raging fire, many deaths and the evacuation of any towns near the conflagration.
BTW oil shipped east by rail within Canada has already caused deaths.
Rational thought is something reviled by the "Green" movement. It's all really about more government control.
If things really were so dire we'd be shutting down the coal plants as the new nuclear plants come online, but that's not what they really want. They want control not zero carbon emissions.
Yep. Could we get some congressional hearings about how it is possible that the bank can only find foreign workers to do a job previously done by an American worker who gets laid off after training the foreign worker? I would love to see politicians actually stand up for actual citizenship. Back in the old days it used to be their Fucking job.
In retrospect the first exporters of the "new world" seemed to die pointless deaths too, but their exploration and their expanding of the known world was not pointless at all.
The same would be true of explorers to Mars. Trips there might be one way to start, but trips to the new world were essentially one way too in the beginning.
Why the hell else is the IT guy who set this all up for her taking the fifth??
If he actually explains to anyone how he set up that private server and then connected it to the state department servers he is going to be going to jail for a looong time.
With the Enterprise Architect comes the authority to lead. You don't need admin access so much as you need to cultivate loyal, capable followers from the SA's that you are leading. They should be the implementers of your architectural designs.
I do agree with the poster that you may need user level access to servers and/or the capability to configure/build different software in userspace before deploying it at a system level.
But Enterprise Architect is a leadership role mainly. From your explanation, you've been trying to lead and influence decisions all along, now they're giving you the authority to do so. Seize the opportunity!
And you know what, I'm fine with that. I'm fine with the hugos being destroyed.
I have had it with the politically correct bullshit these days. From the campus "rape crisis" kangaroo courts, to the asinine "yes means yes" (until changed to no an any future date, to all lives don't matter, to white men must die and all that other shit thats out their, I'm done with it. All the assholes pushing that shit can go to hell.
They want "no awards" they can have no awards. Forever.
Yeah because only the people who voted 'no award' are true fans right, RIGHT.
I am sick to death with the progressive war on free speech and association. They don't get to choose who the right or wrong fans are. Fans get to choose if they're fans of the genre.
This 'no award' shit was them having a hissy fit about doubleplusungood fans nominating who they wanted to.
The SJW's who threw a fit with this years hugs are a bunch of fascist twits ready to destroy people for thoughtcrime.
What really bothers me about "solve the problems on Earth first" logic is that if we do that we're never leaving this rock.
21 TRILLION dollars has been spent to eradicate poverty. Over 40 years on there's been very little impact of the Great Society program to actually eliminate poverty.
Imagine, just imagine what 21 TRILLION could have done if spent on space exploration. We'd likely have moonbases, footprints on Mars, asteroid bases, much quicker international travel, large space stations. 21 Trillion is a lot of fucking money. We basically wasted it trying to solve poverty with handouts. I know that sounds harsh, but the numbers don't lie. We didn't fix poverty, I believe there is no way in hell that spending that money on space exploration wouldn't have had a much much greater impact on society.
Another comment mentioned the National and World pride derived from accomplishing very difficult feats like landing on the moon. That value, while not being economically measurable is something that truly does move humanity along and make people understand that for some things, we're all in this together. And I really think that is likely a more valuable outcome that the direct spending of money on poverty.
It is ABSOLUTELY against federal records law for a civil servant to carry on federal business over a non-federal system. Just business, not classified business, or top secret business, ANY business.
All e-mails containing governmental decisions need to be maintained and controlled by the government entity responsible for them.
Remember, if big powerful corporations are evil just because they are big and powerful then what is big powerful government?
I would say that it might not be the lawmaking branch of government that saves us from bad companies as much as it is the judicial branch and civil court suits.
However, as is obvious from the asinine warnings printed on nearly everything that there is such thing as too much of a good thing.
Yes because total control of the commons worked SOOO well for the Soviet Union and their satellites. Governments with total common ownership are responsible for the worst ecological catastrophies in history. Even today, China, with total control of their energy industry, has the worst air pollution in the world.
Face it, the idea that command and control is the only way is a total lie. An open and free market for technological innovation will save the environment, not mimicking failed God damned central planning from last century.
Yep. Your comment speaks to a typo in the story. It says the driver update broke their computers. When it should have said the update broke Microsoft's computers.
You could look into Lustre, although it would change your hardware configuration a bit (its not a SAN) Depending on your configuration and desired redundancy, this will affect costs a bit (i.e.. more luster nodes).
You could by a traditional SAN and tie it all together with fibre, though you'd need a clustered file system like Stornext, or another commercial CFS, or even GFS if you prefer open source. This would help solve your traversal of the system as a regular directory structure issue.
Best bet for backup would be to a robot tape library of some sort. There is some work being done on dynamic backup of data in Luster systems in the HPC space, but its not very mature. CFS systems like Sternest have methods in place for automatically backing up data on the filesystem.

Yeah, because that communism shit is so awesome that it killed millions without even needing world wars.

Hell then what's the problem. I'm sure all of these employees can make themselves available for 24 months after Sept. 2009!!!
Oh look at the time, I guess they're not available now...
Well then I suppose the employees will have to come in and "help" then, it'd be a real pity of the only command they could remember was "drop table".
Not exactly, its GigaBytes per month and GigaBits of speed.
You'll have 8 times as long until you hit the plan cap, so 8/3 of a second or 2 and 2/3 seconds.
Way better ;-)
Again I have to say, this is like having a Ferrari that you can only drive a few minutes a month.
The cognitive dissonance between freaking tiny bandwidth caps and huge speeds just keeps growing.
In retrospect the first exporters of the "new world" seemed to die pointless deaths too, but their exploration and their expanding of the known world was not pointless at all.

Yep. The denying people's rights is wrong but this is SOOOOO important this time that we need to deny people's rights argument.
That's what every God Damed asshole tyrannical dictator said every time he marched his political enemies to their deaths. Every. God. Damed. Time.
The fact is this. The most important thing is the rights and the freedom of the people.

Yeah, its all MRAs. That why they didn't nominate any women, oh wait they did.
You are a lying sack of shit.
Yeah, but there were no winners.
That doesn't benefit anyone.
And you know what, I'm fine with that. I'm fine with the hugos being destroyed.

Umm, lets see
1) Marry Bill
2) Destroy Monica Lewinsky
3) Misspell "reset"
Oh, wait, you mean three positive accomplishments...

Oh wait. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

At this rate you'll soon be able to smoke all the pot you want, but damn, if you download that song you'll be doing hard time.
I'm looking forward to the Popular person in a production car and seeing their feral racing driver the Gits test supercars. ;-)

You don't own what you don't control.

So of course I had to check the advertising disable checkbox.... ;-)
Me too.
Damn. I think he's still got it. Haven't laughed that loud at a comic strip in a long time.
"suds" "nuns" .... priceless.
