As the network admin for a local government entity that uses gmail, and not having had a chance to see exactly how this will work, I have a fair amount of confidence that the 'destruction' may not be permanent. As long as a particular user's account exists, the email associated with that account exists in Google Vault. A user can delete all of their email, but that just means they don't have access to it anymore. As an admin for our Google domain, I am still able to get access to any and all emails.
Yes, if the account is actually deleted, which in our case can only be done by a domain admin, either in our AD or in the Admin Console in Google, then all emails will be gone. Whomever does that, and there are records, will be in serious legal trouble if the account was deleted before the required period has expired, in our case 7 years. Yes, that could hide deeper criminal activity, but as an admin, it is my co-responsibility to keep those laws. This is the same as any other network/server administrator in any government entity anywhere. The trust is there, it's a matter of keeping it.
I know SpaceX is thinking things are good, but could anyone comment on what kind of leeway might be available with those connection points? From what I can see, there are only 4 per side booster, and they really don't look that big. Will that truly be enough? By what kind of margin? I'd almost expect the rocket to tear itself apart once those two boosters kick in.
Oh, I don't know. I was 45 when I was hired as the network admin at a local school district a couple of years ago. I did have one or two people in the district that I put on as references, and both of them would have known more about me as a person. One knew me a bit from when we worked at a university, but that was 15 years previous.
I am currently very happy with my job and have friends at work, and get decent pay/benefits such that I can support my family. I'm in a quasi-management position; I don't actually manage other employees, but they will take my lead as needed. Of course I'm not above taking their lead as well.
And should I ever end up getting a TV that has the capability, I'll never connect it to the Internet (internet tomorrow:) ). I can manage my laptop/workstation/whatever device to make sure it has the patches it needs. I can't do that for a TV.
Therefore, the only way a smart TV will be showing Netflix/Youtube/whatever is through a device that *I* have control over. Period.
I was in German class, listening to a person from the Concordia Language Villages in Bemidji Minnesota. He was talking about their (long since abandoned:( ) German college in Bemidji. He was just about done showing a video when the announcement came over the P.A. Our teacher said that we needed to listen to the rest of the presentation and then he would let us take over the T.V. to see what we could find being broadcast.
Relatedly, I was actually the one who told my dad when he came home from work that day. As he came in the door I asked him if he had heard the news.
Here in the States, at least here in Wisconsin, kids go to school on their own all the time. My daughter is in 2nd grade and has been walking the whole block to school since she started 1st grade in 2014. As mentioned previously, I think this is more of protecting the act than actually allowing it.
Actually, "TK-4TWO1" is right down the street from me. Used to be on a pick-up truck, now is on a sedan of some sort. Odd thing is, I'm not sure how many people have picked up on the license plate's reference. My Cow-Orker didn't until I told him.
Hiya. The apparently lone PC movie watcher here. That's just about all I do. I recently had my faithful Panasonic DVD player from ~2002 break, needed a replacement. The Sony piece of junk is a pain to try to use. Takes for ever to come up and forces me to wade through most of the beginning junk to get to the movie. VLC on my laptop is now about the only way I watch movies at home.
And I will never get a Smart TV, or if I do it will NOT be connected to any network anything.
Which is especially humorous as German capitalizes nouns regardless of proper or not. Only pronouns are not normally capitalized (except formal you/Sie of course).
Um, no. I'm pretty sure the mother's blood is circulating through the biological equivalent of a heat exchange with the fetus's blood. A nutrient exchange if you will. Baby's blood picks up nutrients from mom's blood, drops off some waste in the blood stream back to mom.
Actually, I still hear a rotary phone almost daily. Certainly a few times a week. At work I have a rotary dial that is used to select one of 20 phone systems' serial ports. Thanks to one of my predecessors, we have all of these digital phone systems' serial ports wired to one location, with an old phone-type selector to chose. Each spin of the rotary dial and you get a series of s from the selector as it moves to the next port.
It's kinda fun to think about, but I'll admit to REALLY looking forward to getting VoIP at work (finally!)
Seems a lot of comments are focusing on how to actually do that 5-minute charge. Hardly anybody seems to have thought about the other aspects, especially the ultra-long life. If the batteries can last 20 years/10,000 charges/what ever, it seems to me this is a really good thing. I'd be just fine with a 1-hour charge, or even an overnight charge. Top off when I can, good to go.
I am glad they picked a location that experiences Winter in all its harshness.
Sorry, Detroit is not Winter "in all it's harshness", unless you're specifically referring to all of the salt they put on the roads to dissolve your car over time. I lived in the Detroit area for a few years and would laugh at all of the complaining about the cold weather. Minneapolis/St. Paul got far colder in my mind. And this is just from south of the Canadian border. I'm sure they get much colder Up North.
I've actually had good luck with previous versions, actually. I have a USB-Serial adapter that I need to use for device management. The software, however, will not run on Windows 7 or higher. I've created an XP VM on the Win7 host that has pass through for the device. Works just fine.
I think I've done this for for a USB-HDD adapter as well. Works for the old laptop disks, for certain. I think for the SATA adapter as well. Haven't actually tried it for the normal ATA drives, but don't see why it wouldn't work. The HDD adapter has worked for both an XP VM and a Solaris 10 VM.
I have to agree as far as the smartest post so far.
I was thinking about this over the weekend as I heard about all of these wonderful (planned/hoped-for) things in watches. They talked about joggers using heart rate monitors, etc. I was thinking that a simple blue tooth connection to the phone/hand device to send whatever telemetry. Let that device do the heavy lifting, then as GP said, send back whatever to the display as desired.
It really seems silly on so many levels to try to pack all of that into one little device on your wrist. If God had wanted us all to have Dick Tracy watches on our wrists, he would have made us all the size of the Hulk. Or something.

Obviously, I'm nowhere near a rocket scientist...
Well, not so evil that we'd balance against a duck, anyway..

No, no it won't.
Yup, back when it was only here in The Cities. Great show!
Not quite exactly the same, but kind of...
One of my favorite Danny Dunn stories as a kid..
Cancelled my twitter account a long time ago, despise Emojis, so no problems here. :) works just fine for me.
Now get off my lawn!

i.e. a 1MW transmitter used to infect a rather small area
Um, one megawatt could be used to hack a 'small area' like the entire United States. Perhaps you're thinking of a 1 mW (milliwatt) transmitter?
So long as we don't say "No" to them, we should be OK.

Similarly, that doesn't look like a 'baleen' whale, either. More like a toothed whale.

Still is, last I heard.
So, roughly 6 tablets per server?
