This stuff is handled perfectly in the Truecrypt FAQ isn't it? RTFM
- You can create backups of TC containers, it'll actually be much faster to create a differential or incremental backup of the container since only 1 file needs to be read (cache hits will be more efficient) compared vs millions of little individual files (each costing IOPS on both sides to initiate the backup as well as compare and store it).
- 1 (or multiple) bits falling over in an encrypted file system does not cause the entire system to go corrupt. In some cases, the encryption will be more safe as internal checksums may be able to detect and/or auto-recover the errors.
- Disaster recovery does not require you to restore a TC volume to the same disk. That is a Windows-specific limitation. You can't restore MS Windows to a different system and expect it to boot because of it's DRM and driver model (Mac, Unix or Linux systems do not have this limitation). You can still open the backed-up TC volume or even open the disk TrueCrypt volume in another machine.
Shit happens whether it's storms or earthquakes. Storms just take power out, the data will be relatively safe. Earthquakes or volcano's (Iceland, Yellowstone, San Andreas fault line) will take out entire infrastructures and destruct data.
Besides that, ping times between east coast and west coast are anywhere between 100 and 400ms on a good day, that's a LOT of latency if everything was concentrated over there. Then there is also the issue of pipe sizes across the continent - it's far cheaper to get dedicated 1Gbps between New York City and say Buffalo, NY than between NYC and San Francisco.
Arduino can act as both slave and master and get spi access to other busses in the device. It's not uncommon to see both pi and arduino in a project as they have each their strengths and weaknesses. For real-life production, you can then simplify it down to the same ARM and Atmel chips + peripherals on a single board.
And with the right hardware, my OpenSolaris still does it. It "reboots" the kernel but never has to go through the whole BIOS thing. If you ever however have the wrong drivers (like Areca) the system is simply going to complain it can't quiesce the driver and reboot anyway.
You can get patches, even kernel patches without having to restart the system. That was one of it's selling points back in the day, some systems even allowed you to hot-swap or hot-upgrade CPU's and memory.
As far as stealing things that are a mix of private and public property (as the intention of copyright is to give temporary private rights to the arts which are by default (under natural law) public property) then GM got a huge infusion of cash from the public to keep them afloat and had squandered it only to get another infusion of cash, this time as a free 'loan'. BP spilled a huge amount of oil in public property by being reckless and deprived large numbers of people from both their income and the enjoyment of said property and I could go on and on.
Copyright infringement is not theft, it is sending and receiving bits and bytes (energy - a public property) at no cost to the original author and disseminating them across public lightwaves on public radio frequencies. It is the same thing Google did, they received bits and bytes in public spaces across public radio frequencies and got a really light punishment for it.
Well Google certainly can. All they have to do is forfeit 20% of a day's income and talk to some people about not taking the things you do not own. GE certainly can. GM certainly can. BP certainly can....
We know you're right and all about this freedom of expression thingy but you know, we have to consider the rights of these companies that paid to get us into office so sorry, you know, we got to do right by them and you know, if we get into this business of free speech then you know, we might not get paid in the future. You know, a man's gotta earn his living, I've got a family to feed lobster to and you know, these cars they gave me aren't going to maintain themselves.
And you think that's not the way anywhere else? No-one that has made a name for themselves has done this with a completely clean conscience or even a legally clean track record. You can't make money being honest.
So if a wannabe terrorist shows up at a dojo to learn hand-to-hand combat is that material support? If he buys a hosting account from you to set up a website are you materially supporting one? If he goes to your local gun range to practice and train in shooting, is that material support?
There's a reason there is free speech. I see the army has taken all thinking powers away from you.
Why would they sell the app for $20 "used" when the new is exactly the same (from a bit-by-bit comparison view) and gives them $10 extra in pure profit?
Software (and firmware) uses specific tables to lookup when DST happens because it's set by politicians, not by some easy calculation so historically and geographically (eg. in Europe they do it ~2 weeks earlier) there are differences when and how DST happens.
You can't really apply this to grant proposals. Grant proposals will often be submitted several times, sometimes with minor corrections and changes to the same and different agencies and even the same grant will be re-submitted by a different researcher with more 'credentials' so the grant can go through. It isn't easy to get a grant and there is a lot of time wasted in getting grants, I would say close to 70% of a researchers time is involving paperwork (getting grants, getting audited, rewriting grants, rewriting papers, submitting them for review and defending them), most of the real work including the writing of the papers is done by grad students and postdocs, the droning is done by undergrads. Universities have entire departments staffed with people that try to get grants.
Add to that that whenever the local law enforcement 'cooperates' with the DHS under the VIPR program, they have access virtually anywhere. They use it to search for 'illegal' pot plantations using military spy drones.
Why not OS X for a mail server? It's postfix and dovecot (pretty much a vanilla implementation including push imap), caldav, carddav (also vanilla implementations) and an MDM integrated into one system with a nice, simple interface. If you can set that all up on your Linux box for less than $500 in consulting fees, I would be impressed.
1U is a huge footprint actually for most systems (19" x 1.75" x 26.4" = 877.8 cubic inches). The Mac mini is 84 cubic inches. You can fit 10 Mac Mini's for every 1U server. A 40-core server with 10 hard drives and 160GB RAM (equivalent of 10 Mac Mini's) usually takes at least 3U. I worked in a datacenter and we didn't use Mac Mini's but another el-cheapo vendor which sold us mini barebones which fit a full size chip and a hard drive etc. We would fit about 16 "servers" in ~6U (using both sides of the rack) and that was 10 years ago. Back then virtualization didn't exist yet so we would simply do bare-metal restores from a hard drive based backup system and any server that died would be back up in a few hours.
So yes, from a cost-per-cubic-inch they make a lot of sense. Heck, we had VIA machines too back then which were even smaller but unless you were running Linux they were kind of useless.
Verizon is making deals with TWC specifically not to expand into their areas. We had FiOS promised for 2 years with petitions and everything. TWC offered them money to stop it and they disappeared overnight.
$55 for 10/1 also in Upstate NY because there is simply no competition (they made a deal with Verizon to stop deployment of FiOS). They market Turbo Boost which is a temporary boost to 15/1 (at the beginning of a download) for an extra $15. Yeah, there definitely is no consumer demand for THEIR top tier pricing. It's actually cheaper as a business to get a T1 from Earthlink than to get a business line with a reliable uplink.
The industry as a whole makes a lot more money. This is just the revenue the classic industry (Sony, BMG, Warner,...) sees, indie artists that aren't represented by the MAFIAA have been making a lot of money in the mean time, so much that indie artists and their labels are popping up all over the place and being profitable.
Total consolidated revenue for Google is 50,175,000,000 (50 Billion). They serve about 1 Billion users, that's $50/user that they will perpetually make.
The thing to consider is that regardless of whether or not you choose to pay, they will make $50/year from your data and that data is already largely anonymized and aggregated, it's not like advertisers pay them specifically to track YOU therefore YOU have no loss of privacy per se (only the illusion that you have lost it since machines are able to very specifically target to a certain subgroup you identify with).
Also, don't forget that this is a perpetual income stream. If you stop paying your $10/month (or whatever) they lose revenue. If you stop servicing through them however, they will continue to keep all your data and continue to aggregate and sell it's anonymized content continuing to generate revenue from your past.
I do, once you get more than ~12 disks, it makes sense to group individual raids in an array simply since rebuilding times will take exponentially longer with each disk you add. If you want high performance, you group individual 2-disk RAID in another RAID (it's called RAID1(+)0)

It wouldn't surprise me if they brought Darl back to head up Nokia and they got an infusion of cash... oh wait... It just keeps rising from the dead.

With 20V at 1A a 7805 would stoke away 15W - that's a big heat sink

Well, if we're talking about the stealing of bits and bytes that are that are structured in certain ways that they are somehow people's property then Google just got away with it: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/03/13/1621200/googles-punishment-lecture-those-they-snooped-on
