  1. Your recovery time is thus limited by their available bandwidth. Anything I care about I back up to CrashPlan. Easy to manage and very offsite. rsync gives you a point in time. Which may wipe a version of the file you want. If you're going to use rsync, at least use rsnapshot.

    That $150k is also less luxe when one is the victim of a community property state.

    ^US^MS Thing only runs on MS-OS. Not going to browse in a VM.

    Inertia. Big old companies rest on their laurels and do nothing efficiently. People are siloed and inflexible. Expect many of those let go to be contractors.

  5. Sure, if losing your connectivity and thousands of $ when DMCA suits are filed against you. This Cory twat should shut the fuck up and go back to sodomising Randall Munroe.

    You found that acquisition successful? At 83 cents a share?

    The cost of rotational storage is more than just the drives - they need a chassis, HBA, backplane, cooling, power etc.

  10. Re: Good on Facebook Will Force Advertising On Ad-Blocking Users (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    I only run an ad blocker due to the popup and full-screen ads that certain sites blast. On-page ads are easily ignored.

    By the time an ambulance would have found him, driving 10 mph like they seem to, and taken him there ... I injured myself once in a rural setting. Drove myself to the ER because it would have taken hours for them to have found me, knowing the inability of most people ten years ago to route to an address.

    Bovine milk fed to adult humans leads to a net loss of calcium, and most in the US get too much protein as it is. If you're dead set on drinking someone's reproductive fluids, drink your own.

  18. Re:Amazon is awesome for knockoffs! on Amazon Loses Huge Footwear Company Because Of Fake Products, a Problem It Denies Is Happening (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I've had an issue with a certain vendor shipping a product that was demonstrably not what was advertised and pictured; they sent an inferior (*) product from another brand that was visually different. The vendor refused to admit that they shipped the wrong product. Amazon eventually gave me a refund but was indifferent to the vendor's actions. But as for this issue -- I must admit that anything that means fewer Birkenstocks on the street has my support. * There are certain characteristics that one needs in a urine bottle. Use your imagination.

  19. That is the expedient alternative for many to "Stateside viewers will be able to stream the new show via CBS's own All Access digital subscription video-on-demand and live streaming service". Yet another subscription to manage, one more thing that can't run natively on my TV.

    Hear hear. The stock market has been grossly perverted from the original purpose. That people can not only make a living but get rich from bullshit like currency trading shows that The System is rife with parasites.

    Even before that government subsidies and other policies like free rangeland leases and advertising were artificially lowering the cost. Thing about cultured meat today is the calf serum used as a growth medium. Until the cells get grown in something not animal-based it's smoke and mirrors.

  24. In that case, really Google will not have lost them because they would not have been its to keep. Really *you* will have lost them by having not performed even a modicum of due diligence. Even if this dipshit hadn't been using teh intarwebs for 14 years, just plain common sense is that if you value something, you don't just hand the only copy to a stranger. WTF is an "Experimental author and artist" ? Methinks code for "barista".

  25. Re:read the polls on Bernie Sanders Endorses Hillary Clinton (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Much as I despite Bloom County I remember the depictions of her husband as a waffle. I imagine those will return. I think Hilary is smart enough to realize that ovaries aren't enough to sustain support over the next 4 or 8 years, and that she needs to make lasting and real shifts to the left in at least several areas. The unexpectedly strong support for Bernie would seem to have been a bit of a wake-up call. That said, Gore as a running mate would help her immensely, but will not happen. I imagine she asked and Al told her GFY, given how Bill's actions contributed to the presidency being stolen from him.
