The people killed are not guilty, they were killed before the court could adjudicate the matter. In the USA you are incident until proven guilty in a court of law, by a jury of your peers.
Any new solution would have to maintain backwards compatibility. The new standard would have to be ether 3.5" x 2, 3, or 4 bays; or 5.25" x 1, 2, 3, or 4 bays. The industry has 30 years behind existing bay standards, it would take them a long time to change their tooling.
Personally I thought the Sun Fire X4500 (a/k/a thumper) was a very efficient way to maximize storage density
I think the only way to settle this is to have a national referendum on whether Snowden should be granted amnesty for his actions. It is against public interest to let a small pool of jurors decide an issue as important as this. I believe his transgressions should be set aside because the means justify the end.
At the very least I feel that Congress should introduce a bill to pardon Snowden. Or vote on whether the Federal Court should be ordered to set aside any verdict and enter a judgment of acquittal. The Federal Courts do operate under the authority of Congress.
It may be different with 10,000 disks vs 4 disks, but I wouldn't trust a drive once it has one remapped (or pending remap) sector. I'd be worrying about replacing it, not remapping, because it tends to be a sign of impending failure.
Of the drives with sector errors (n = 286) the number of bad sectors typically ranged from 4 to 16, with a median of 8. However, values above 25 bad sectors were statistical outliers, meaning they were more than 3 standard deviations off the normal curve. Our policy now is to replace any drive with more than 25 bad sectors.

What is Backblaze doing to check the drives for bad sectors? I manage a 10,000 disk openstack swift installation and I've noticed the auto sector remapping doesn't work correctly, there are a portion of drives (maybe 3%) that have a few bad sectors that need to be manually remapped using ddrescue. I ended up having to write a custom monthly cron job script that ran badblocks to first identify these drives, and then ddrescue to force a sector remap.
I'm impressed by the HGST drives, less than 1% failure rate. I haven't touched the Deskstar line of drives since the IBM Deathstar debacle, but I think it's time to take a second look. Hopefully they have not switched over to Western Digital's technology.
Why do you need anything to smash into anything? All the cam shaft is doing is opening and closing the intake and exhaust values. With electronic control you could design the values totally differently, for instance they could slide open or you could use a butterfly valve. Also I'll add that often the valves are recessed and could never come in contact with the piston.
I'm surprised we haven't moved to solid state electronic valves, solid state is almost always more reliable and cheaper to implement then a mechanical system.
If the iPhone 5c had Touch ID this wouldn't be a problem, they could just use the persons finger to unlock the device. This illustrates why Touch ID is a bad idea if you care about your privacy. Since we only have ten fingers and the auto erase doesn't activate until after 10 failed attempts, the only thing needed to get into a Touch ID phone is a court order. The Fifth Amendment protection against self incrimination only applies to the contents of your mind, it's established precedent that it doesn't apply to your body (i.g. blood, DNA, finger prints, etc.) or property.
That's easy to solve, charge the government a few million dollars for your assistance. You need access, sure no problem, we'll build you a server farm to crack the encryption key using brute force... It will cost you 600 million dollars.
Yes. Some manufacturers shave off the part numbers on chips, some pot the chips, some epoxy heatsinks on chips, and some implement anti-tamper-proofing measures inside the chip itself. There are plenty of videos on EEVBlog discussing this.
Sadly this case is not over yet, reading the summary of the order there are still outstanding counts, this order only addresses Counts VII and IX. Furthermore SCO still has appeal rights. That said, looking through the summary, it's pretty safe to say that SCO will loose the whole case.
Nuclear power: 500MW is considered a "small/compact" nuclear plant, costing about $1.5 billion with a footprint of a few acres with a lifetime of approx. 40 years.
So where did you get your costs from? My quick google pops up the current cost of a nuke plant as up to $9B nowadays.
Regardless of the actual cost, a typical nuclear plant can output 20,000 GWh a year.
This is a massive security problem, someone could run this on 10,000 servers in parallel all at once and the business would be down for months replacing all the motherboards. Figure $500 and 1 hour per motherboard replacement and you are looking at 10,000 man hours and $5 million dollars in hardware damages alone.
Where did the founding fathers grant in the U.S. Constitution that the Federal government had the right to regulate the air? The Constitution states that all rights not specifically enumerated to the Federal government are to be left to the States. When did the SCOTUS settle this issue? Also It was my understanding the Federal government only regulated the air space above 500 feet, if that's the case then California is well within their right to regulate aircraft operating in the 0 to 500 feet ranage.
The next time you get married try a Moissanite ring. Mojssanite is silicon carbide so it's hard as hell and it actually has more brilliance then a diamond. The only ones who will know are the seller, buyer, receiver, and the appraiser, there is no way normal person can find out it isn't a diamond unless someone tells them. You can buy twice the rock size for half the cost. Simply tell your spouse that the rock came from a meteorite and that it's one of a kind, she'll eat it up.
I just USE it, and don't have to repair stuff under the hood each day of my working life. And I like it that way, I'm not 20 years and loving to fix basic bugs anymore, I'm at that age where I concentrate on MY job and what I like to do, that's when it feels awesome to have something that just works.
This is why I use a Mac. I'm a Linux engineer by trade, but when it comes to the desktop Mac OS X is my goto operating system of choice. If I had to use Linux on the desktop I would agree that Mint Linux is probably the best desktop distribution. I use Mint inside a virtual machine at work.
It is not a lack of belief. It is a belief that there is no god. It's as much a dogma as those who do believe in a god. It is certainly a belief system.
Incorrect. It is the lack of belief. Saying atheism is a belief system is no less ridiculous than saying not collecting stamps is your favorite hobby.
Wrong. Atheism is the belief that you don't believe in a god or religion. Taking such a stance using the limited information that we have is just as much a faith based decision as believing in god. According to the philosopher William L. Rowe: "In the popular sense of the term, an agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in the existence of God, while a theist believes that God exists, an atheist disbelieves in God."
That's what happens when you don't have a union or professional association who can lobby on your behalf. Sometimes the smartest people are the biggest idiots.

A 10 million dollar daily fine would only be about $25 per iPhone sold. I would pay an extra $25 to know my phone is uncrackable.

How are you doing this with ddrescue?
grep "error.*sector" /var/log/kern.log | awk '{print $(NF-2)$NF}' | sort -u | while IFS=, read device sector; do dd if=/dev/$device of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1 skip=$sector 2>/dev/null || dd_rescue -d -A -m8b -s ${sector}b/dev/$device /dev/$device; done;

Yes but do you have instant access to 20 million tracks? A subscription costs less than the price of buying a new album every month.
So how does orbital mechanics work with a flat earth? Or do flat earthers also deny that we have satellites orbiting in space?

We all know that this won't change
That's what happens when you don't have a union or professional association who can lobby on your behalf. Sometimes the smartest people are the biggest idiots.
The only way to stop this is to make IT a licensed profession just like with doctors, attorneys, and electricians.
So what you need is a search engine for media?
