But how about the rest of the class? They're all software engineers? No, people remember what they're most interested in. I remember very clearly the programming, electronic and logic puzzles at school but I also vaguely remember doing much more math, biology (field trips etc) and other sciences, I just was naturally drawn to computers and eventually sought them out myself even though my mother was against it and my schools never bothered beyond an introduction to Logo and later Pascal.
That and that if you're capable of doing this you can't do 20% of a star in 100y time. Look at the advances we've made in computer and building technology, even space tech in the last century and we as a species are just starting. Give us a thousand years at the current rate of progress and if we haven't killed ourselves we can probably strip mine a planet like Mars to build our energy structures.
Lol wpa supplicant fighting has been solved about a decade ago. I deploy RPis fully automated with wifi in a commercial setting, not a problem regardless of the wifi config. Back in the day the only wpa fighting I did was with devices that didn't correctly support wpa and even Windows needed drivers for both wifi cards and APs. This hasn't been an issue since wpa was standardized and there are even nice GUIs (X, shell scripts and ncurses).
How is 75/25 even? If you want to compare Linux distros to Windows distros (you have ~3 iterations split into another 3-6 distributions each (from Small Business to Datacenter versions), you would probably still get a 75/25 split. Windows in the cloud is expensive and useless unless you have it subsidized (which is probably the only reason Windows is so high).
Both Judaism and Christianity thought the patch of desert they had and later the Roman Empire was the whole world. Both New and Old Testament make reference to "the whole world" being their respectively rightful inheritance and the final war.
It should bother you though. This is akin to a house-to-house search by the government. Your documents are your documents regardless of where you store them. Just because it is digital and therefore easier doesn't mean it's legal, if the cops came by your house everyday or several times per day to search your house for "terrorism", even if they didn't disturb anything and put everything back where they found it would you let them?
Why would your signal drop when it's encrypted? Whether or not it is encrypted makes no difference to the antenna. Most likely you got a crappy AP (or crappy wifi in your device) which uses too much power for its design.
Why would you accept that you can see different content based on your location? You wouldn't accept Wikipedia or news sites to return different content shaped by your government based on your location? There is no reason that Netflix can't sell their services in other markets, you wouldn't want your business' customers to be artificially limited by the government?
It wouldn't clear any blocks that are so worn out that they've gone read only would they? There are states in SSD's where the cells individually have become ROM's
Belgian here, some have but a large portion of them haven't and they are importing more and more people by marriage under family unification laws; 10y ago there were problems in Brussels and Ghent and Ostend and Liege, all the major cities have issues. Why do you think Vlaams Blok/Belang has 25-35% of the national support amongst the 12(?) parties?
Does it involve shining spotlights at astronomers? Wouldn't the perpetrators simply be fired?
Or you mean just "harassment". That is fairly well defined legally and is generally a crime, if you are the victim of harassment, then you should collect evidence and talk to the police.
And why the hell are the only sources between Forbes and CNN? Since when do they do anything scientific or actual news?
There is also a strong filter there though. I've immigrated myself to the US and you're not getting here by jumping on a train/walking and you're definitely not getting in if you don't have the capacity to fully integrate in a short time. You need money, you get background checks, you need to have people on the US side that support you and the process takes 6 months or longer. Any doubt and they won't allow you; any criminal activity and they round you and your family up for deportation.
But those were economic immigrants and the reason they didn't integrate was lack of education; the current migrants in Europe have an ideological reason for migration and by said ideology are raising their children not to integrate because their ideology states that the natives should integrate their customs and religion. Immigrant muslims in Europe have been around for at least 1 if not 2 generations (first gulf war and before that) and have by and far not integrated at all in European culture; they are migrants in the same fashion Europeans were "economics migrants" to the "New World" in the 1400-1600's.
Or really old gas heater systems. I've seen 110V on a 20+ yo gas heater, I think Honeywell still makes/sells the parts. Back in the day, the thermostat didn't even have relays, it was just a curling strip of bi-metal that acted as a switch. More modern systems have relays + batteries and even more modern systems expect 24VAC to be there so it is self-powered.
That would be about 20 servers with a set of SSDs.
Hardly requires a data center, let alone a data center infrastructure. Perhaps they'll take up a few racks to get everything stored but 1M writes per second isn't all that impressive.
There are also some limitations to what a program promises vs what it can do. File shredding is an optimal example: modern SSD do not even write to the same physical location every time you write to the same file. Battery backed controllers fool the OS in thinking a certain action was completed while it really wasn't committed to disk yet. If you pull a disk between the shredding event and the cache flush, you could easily read things. Heck, if your magnetic drive says a portion of it's drive are "bad blocks" the data on those blocks doesn't get overwritten, SSD's have cells that can physically go "read-only", with the right tools you can read the data in the "bad blocks" or "read only" cells.
There is not a single OS that does this; the application is responsible for cleaning up after itself. For a test: open a file on a drive, then remove the drive - result: zombie process, the OS does not clean up and cannot kill such process because an OS is in charge of allocating resources and shouldn't intervene in other programs' business. If a program requests a resource and doesn't clean it up, the OS keeps it in tact (causing memory leaks)
Many programmers have forgotten or never learned how real hardware actually works. Writing zeroes takes up resources. Requesting memory only gives you a zero-mapped page (OS knows it's 0 but does not clear or reserve it in actual memory), not a zeroed out page, once you write the page it reserves and then overwrites whatever was on the chip. That's how you can request 50GB of memory (virtual memory) but never actually need 50GB of physical RAM.
Graphics card memory is even funnier to deal with because you need to map 1:1 memory in RAM to copy it to GPU memory (that's what your browser does because it's simple and the OS handles it and it's safe). But with the right privileges your program can instruct the CPU to access the GPU memory directly (which is what games do through eg OpenGL) but you're by and large bypassing any OS "protections". Either way neither the OS nor the card are aware of the context the card or it's memory is being accessed at any particular time. It is very feasible that you can access previously mapped application memory through things like CUDA or low level GPU access methods without the OS being aware.
Better yet, just publish the backdoor and push a forced update to all devices registered to lawmakers and their employees that enables it, connects it to Tor and announces itself on Reddit.
You really think they care? Ever called your representative? You get hours of wait and then arrive at a call center where you get read a standardized response.
I did send an email once to a rep in regards to the DMCA and the response: "My office has received a high number of calls not to support this law however I personally think it's in the best interest of local businesses to vote to support this law".
There are a few number of standards, there is DICOM and HL7 to name the biggest ones you come across. The problem is that if you support a standard, you can't lock your customer into it.
Your own fault for trying to integrate an endless amount of closed source, unsupported software packages. If hospitals would stop buying shit from these companies, these issues wouldn't be nearly as complex.
I work with some of these and have on my side (a small center, no budget) an open source PACS, data receivers, scheduling system, device and patch management, the whole kaboodle. Now we are getting patient data and need to implement HIPAA regulations. This will take me a few days tops because I can write my own plugins that searches old data and does the required things to new data. My counterparts in a hospital have been HIPAA regulated for years and still are waiting to get their vendor that they payed millions to support the specifics. Having access to the system, besides the "branding" it doesn't actually do anything beyond what I do and the hospital is rife with middleware to get data in and out of the system. And no, the vendor isn't responsible for data stored at the covered entity.
The point is moot because the French president obtained special powers after the attack in Paris until February to enact pretty much any anti-terrorism legislation.
This is France's patriot act and soon a terrorist attack in the us won't be foiled so they can enact the same here.
I find neither Gigabyte nor Asus to be "top" motherboard manufacturers. At best they are premium value boards (cheap boards with some premium features enabled). I have found them consistently to be buggy and sometimes even outright useless. The last time I bought them, I actually returned an Asus board because it 'supported' ECC RAM but didn't actually implement it (simply disabled it).
I buy SuperMicro boards, not always on the edge but consistently configurable and very good support if any bugs do arise. I've had decent luck with Via boards way back in the day and MSI/Tyan as well.
Another reason could be that the medical privacy statutes are way too broad. If they don't specify it relates to human subjects or include animals in order to protect pet owners' privacy, then they may indeed be right in denying the request.
This is what you get for requesting legislation instead of holding companies responsible for breaking the existing laws.
