Test is where we disconnect from the grid completely. And yes, those generators supply the entire facility with power, not just the datacenter (in fact, half the datacenter - tier 2 and lower applications - goes offline in order to ensure that tier 1 applications and clinical equipment remain powered).
The up side, is that of our two facilities only one has emergency and intensive care capability, and that generator passes every time.

Song covers DO require a license, but that license (called a mechanical license) is one that can be attained from a clearing-house without authorisation from the copyright owner (it's a mandatory license defined in law). Tribute bands are the same, as they're essentially covers. The only ones that do not require a license are parodies (and Weird Al Yankovic actually does get permission from the original artists as a professional courtesy anyway, incidentally) and satire.
This may surprise you, but in nations that aren't the US (that haven't been brainwashed by their corporations) unions exist, run well, and exist to serve the members not themselves (and are in fact required to by law). And businesses run just fine with unions - even getting along quite well with them most of the time (contract renegotiation time notwithstanding). And you know what? The nations haven't "fallen into the cesspool known as communism" or even "[fallen into] ruin".
Stop listening to Fox News and actually do some research prior to making yourself look stupid.
Again, though, individuals need not apply. Apple will not under any circumstances allow an individual to gain access to the MFi specs. You need to be a company, have legal counsel, and pay for a credit review(?!?)
No they don't - they hide the shit out the documentation and only provide it to companies that sign the "Made for iPod" agreement, who promise to treat is as the Holiest of Holies in a locked cabinet in a disused lavatory in the basement with a sign saying "Beware of the Leopard". Oh, and it's only available to companies - individuals with a cool idea can fuck off. Oh, and the company has to be large enough to afford legal counsel, since Apple requires the lawyers for the company sign it.
You know it's interesting, but I've never seen an example apart from Standard Oil, which leads one to believe that it's really not that common (or economically feasible). The reality is, selling something below cost is the sort of thing shareholders do not tolerate for very long. If Amazon wants to sell books below cost to drive sales of Kindle below cost... well, that's not even financially viable.
Even amongst smaller businesses, the suppliers will react. No supplier wants their supply chain being funnelled through a single point - it creates what I'm going to call the Walmart effect, where one business or person dictates everything about the supply of a product or service despite not being the producer of it. Look at how much control Walmart has over packaging for example.
The publishers control the prices there, not Apple. And since the Apple contract for iBooks/iTunes/AppStore actually requires that Apple customers receive the cheapest prices at all times, the publishers are contractually obliged to discount their titles below Amazon in this case.
Not it mustn't. Government should stay the hell out of pricing decisions. If a company wants to take a massive loss on products, that's their problem. Once they come close to having a monopoly, the suppliers themselves will react to make competition viable again (for example when music publishers gave Amazon preferential pricing and DRM terms in order to damage the iTunes near-monopoly that was emerging). Self-regulation may be impossible, but supply chain regulation is not.
I think the LG Optimus is the worst actually, since the sub-version decides what OS is on the phone. I have an LG Optimus C900k. It runs Windows Phone. But an LG Optimus P720 runs Android.
That's what goddamn inventory management systems are for. Do you have ANY idea how useless "generic" names are? Ours are all just boring numerics, in the form XXXX000 (XXXX being the company's abbreviation, and YYY being a sequence number). It's hopeless. Everyone has to refer to an Excel spreadsheet just to work out what it does. Then there's the servers in our other datacenters. Those are in the form XXXYYY00 (where XXX is the physical location, YYY is the purpose, and 00 is a sequence number). Equally useless, with the additional bonus of requiring that we never physically move a server. Sure, names like "Frodo" would be useless too, but no more useless than the current names. (We have over 1000 servers though, so there is no namespace sufficient to support our server naming needs anyway).
Well, that particular billing error is actually quite unique in it's incompetence, overshadowed only by the PR catastrophe which followed when they issued a flippant apology fronted by a shirtless photo of their awfully happy looking founder (indicating that this was the individual to blame).
No, this is Slashdot. Slashdot does not allow you to cover up your mistakes. There is no edit, and there is no delete. Your mistakes are immortalised in digital stone. Unless you post copyrighted Church of Scientology materials.
And did you consider that they changed their DNS so that their site comes back up? Presumably so they can post status messages, etc. It's considered good practice for hosts to have their own DNS physically isolated from their own network so that when stuff goes down, they can still let people know.

yum would work ;)
Except that as a headless web server, it doesn't run X so Firefox is right out.
yum install links it is!

They tend to block that too.
Ours are only tested annually.
Our hospital backup generators.
All two of them.
And one of them is guaranteed to fail every time.

Actually, the loopback is 127.0.0.0/8 - even 127.13.4.1 will resolve to localhost.
Try THAT here, and said boss would be in prison very quickly, and the company would be paying a fortune in damages.

You forgot and c) can no longer be used to log in anyway.
Except that it's incorrect, as Mac OS does not use X-Windows as a window manager, and in fact no longer even ships with it by default any more.

No, they don't.
No, it runs a Google search.
Which almost 100% certainly is based on Professor Farnsworth.

They're way over that. Their yearly downtime would have to be 5 minutes or less according to Google
