Yeah but then you get people playing games like using megaseconds to measure a year. (A year is very approximately 30*pi megaseconds, if you don't mind shitty approximations.)
I think he means the childless will have more money for stockpiling food/ammo than the ones who are currently sinking everything into minivans and designer sports accessories.
Have you ever been near a wind turbine? Obviously not.
Um, my current job is designing windfarms.
Wind turbines are very large and quite loud. The tips of the blades are moving at a very high speed and make quite a bit of noise. I walk by one daily. You obviously don't.
I can't comment on one particular turbine. In general though, the noise problems are only in people's imagination. If you walk past some trees there's probably more noise from the wind.
You might notice one if it's right in your back yard but it shouldn't be. Turbines have to be built hundreds of meters from any sort of buildings in case they fall over. Usually they're *much* further then the minimum legal distance, especially if the buildings are residential.
None of those produces the sort of noises the NIMBYs are claiming.
They're complaining about subsonic, hard to quantify, invisible-to-scientists noises that only affect them because they're more sensitive and in tune with the unicorns than normal people.
No matter what the contract says, they are still responsible and can not be negligent. If you can prove that they screwed up and gave someone else access, then they are negligent.
This. If they were accepting forms which are obviously incomplete then they were negligent.
But to answer the OPs original question, it depends. Do you think they will do it again? Then move hosting companies.
Um, how do you know the other companies are any better? You might just be trading places with somebody who's moving from the other company to yours after they screwed up.
From what I understand, many turbines are considerably louder than claimed, particularly at low frequencies. If nothing else, this could affect sleep md hence health.
I've stood right under a turbine. They don't make any noise apart from the wind blowing across the blades. Anything makes a noise when wind blows past it, even the ground.
Turbines turn with the wind. To make low frequency throbbing noises like the NIMBYs claim they'd have to have a motor inside them and actively push the air around.
Windmills aren't like propellers/fans. Propellers/fans make a noise because they're being turned by a motor and they're pushing air around.
Windmills are pushed by the air so they don't make any noise. Well, maybe a tiny bit, just like anything makes a noise when wind blows past it. I've stood right under a turbine and I've heard noisier trees.
Warranties on *all* electrical goods in Europe are two years by law. Apple isn't being singled out here.
Here in Spain (YMMV): After a short "DOA" period from the day you bought it (maybe a couple of weeks), pretty much all warranties are dealt with directly by the manufacturer. When things go wrong you call the number on the warranty card in the box.
The last couple of things that failed on me (Samsung monitor, Benq DVD burner) I called them and they sent a guy right to my door with a replacement. No store was involved.

FTS: "one might wonder why Google has to push their own social network instead of working on open protocols for sharing."
Right, like Facebook is gonna share with Google.
(And nobody else really matters...)
Dude, it isn't about stopping porn on the internet, it is all about thinking of the children.
... it is all about being seen thinking of the children.
FTFY.
Yeah but then you get people playing games like using megaseconds to measure a year. (A year is very approximately 30*pi megaseconds, if you don't mind shitty approximations.)
And pi seconds is one nanocentury...
I think he means the childless will have more money for stockpiling food/ammo than the ones who are currently sinking everything into minivans and designer sports accessories.
Yeah, and anyone who is childless of course will be fine...
At least they can have a chuckle knowing they messed it up for all those other idiot's grandkids.
Revenge is best served cold.
Not at all. It could all be due to piracy. Who knows what the figures would be like if we took down The Pirate Bay...?

And if you are too close they can be noisy
That's a total myth.

Wind turbines are not aircraft propellers.
Except ... wind turbines are silent.
Windmills aren't like propellers/fans. Propellers/fans make a noise because they're being turned by a motor and they're pushing air around.

I'm not sure that subby knows what "trolling" is.
The stuff described in the summary sounds more like cyber-bullying to me.
Question is ... is it an American 'billion' or the same 'billion' as the rest of the world?
agree - this request is too light on content to engineer a solution.
How is that different from any other "ask slashdot"?
Don't know if you made it that far, but...
Point is: I shouldn't have to. Just put a decent link in the summary please.
Point is: You can't 'test'.
You can only tell if it's working, not when it's about to fail.
If people could predict when hard drives were going to fail we wouldn't need RAID or backups.
As far as I can tell, they don't want a Facebook password though. Yet.
Don't worry, they've already got it.
Nope. Time to protest just before the Queen's Speech. Make sure this is headline news.
Hate to threadjack ... but the summary makes it sound like the laws didn't work.
Isn't the real story that P2P usage has declined and digital music sales in France have skyrocketed since the laws were passed?
Back on topic: Jarre FTW!
How about a link to their website instead of a dumbass yahoo article without even a photo of the thing?

In Europe?

It may say 'published' on April 1st but if you RTFA it mentions 'Friday'.
So Navy's of tomorrow will have their ships covered in mirrors..
Nah, they'll be covered in hi-tech retro-reflective coatings. The great thing about laser beams is they have no inertial mass...
He wants to be the "envy of his friends", not fill his house with their hand-me-downs....
