As others said, use a linux box as a gateway, using two different ip addresses (one on two interfaces or two on a single one), use squid as a proxy, and split the requests using the 'tcp_outgoing_address' with ACLs like:
where the examples 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.1.2 ip addresses are routed through the two different routes. This example would route even numbered and odd numbered URLs to the two routes. It's a quick example.
This wouldn't do much for fail-over, though, or for non-webbrowsing connections. For that, you would need a connectivity-checking mechanism (a python script could do that) of the two separate routes, and then issue relevant tc/ip commands, but for that, I trust sb else will cover the issue.
Or would you like to show us all a group of children that could produce an atomic weapon given a few years and a few billion dollars? Here. Take my two sons, give them a few billion dollars, and tell them to NOT destroy the planet. I'm betting it will take them a couple of months.
Joking aside, your example was a little unlucky (unless I misunderstood it): children are very, very intelligent these days; even if not intelligent, they have more knowledge resources readily available to them than most of humanity in its history. And atomic weapons are not exactly "rocket science". Learn about uranium, buy two large enough lumps, throw them at each other.
I'd also like to clarify here that my argument is not pro the GP post in any way.
so the sun is just preparing to shut down, for the coming end of the world, of course
If the Sun ran Windows, I would understand why it would need five years to shutdown. Unless it is running Windows, and it's waiting for an admin password to start producing spots again.
That's okay for power lines but it's a real pain for anything that involves a coil.
A coil. Wait, you mean something that generally is shaped like this. So I understand you say that ceramics, just like glass, are a real pain to be shaped into a coil, right?
Adding to the nearly off-topic wish list, I wonder why they haven't yet filmed "The Demolished Man" by Alfred Bester. It could be kept faithful to the original, and yet be a commercial success.
Philhippos, the exact transliteration of the greek name, means lover of horses as in lover of music, good taste etc, not related to sexual love (in case you meant that), but that misunderstanding is quite common about greeks. "Philos" is a friend who loves. Think Philharmonic Orchestra.
People are quite capable doing quick things in Java without pulling in giant bloaty enterprise frameworks. Plus Python is bloat, I think it's like 40M+ installed.
As for banging out quick projects, I tend to do them in C or shell scripts because I know they will either become real projects or they need to be understood by all.
Um. Great information. Python is like 40M+ installed. On Windows? Linux? Bloat compared to, say, Java? Do you include the quite extensive library under your 'bloat' characterization?
As far as quickies go, a change of email software on a client site required the old mailboxes to be converted into maildirs. While their admin searched in the web for an appropriate program, I coded a script in 15 minutes (that's three versions of the script; one to convert to maildir, one to include saved mail folders from the user home directories, and one to make sure that already read messages remained marked as read for the new POP/IMAP software.
It's obvious that everyone chooses their own tools. Python works for me on many levels. Sorry it doesn't for you.
[Python] However, if you try to multiply an Int by a String, it'll throw the same type errors any other strongly type language will. In general, you are correct. It's that your specific example is unlucky:
But what about the question on the serial numbers of dollar bills? I haven't handled a dollar bill in my entire life; how would I know anything about serial numbers?
Perhaps by now you have understood that the only reason the serial numbers existed was for you to do a subtraction (and add one) and then multiply by 50.
Your post is informative and all, however please clarify:
You say the Sun outputs ~174 PW; is this number over a 24 hour period? is it restricted to the radiation reaching Earth in said period, or is it the total power produced?
Same goes for the “fossil fuel waste heat” 13 TW; is it an approximated sum over a 24-hour?
If NASA doesn't take a few rolls of this stuff to the moon, they're not paying attention.
Umm sorry but you're the one who isn't paying attention if you think NASA will be able to afford to go to the moon at any time in the next 30 years or so...
Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4 made it clear which one was newer (although the shift to arabic numerals was a little inconsistent).
Someone sent an email to the Intel board of directors, allegedly from CIA, beginning with "Dear Sirs: it has come to our attention that you label your products with arabic numerals."

Yeah, and just as proof of that look at this code:

Well, that's a price drop alright. Until recently, you had to give an arm, a leg and your firstborn.
Neither did he, nor his advisors. I don't know about the guys who write the presidential speeches, though.
Thank you.

More or less, you are correct:

You want: year
