sad you had so much trouble - the cause for paws store around here is really good about testing electronics and labeling them if they are in unknown state. Never had problems with stuff from there.
no shit - i don't run ad-block - But after trying to skip around to what i wanted, with no luck, i left. that is so poorly done i wouldn't even want to be an advertiser on that site.
the paper cut factor would be substituted with the glass shatter/cut factor.. sure it doesn't happen as often - but when it happens it does, it makes up for it to keep the average.
agreed - while it seems the vendors are getting smart and standardizing their power connectors (Lenovo uses the same for almost all their laptops now, same as dell) they are only standardizing them in house.. not cross vendor.
i would love to see Apple license the mag safe connector a reasonable enough rates that everyone can use it.. or just put it out there as a standard (like display port)
also with their CA pulled - anyone with a cert from them (legit) could go after them to foot the bill for a cert on a competitor.. I bet that's the main reason for filing bankruptcy, so they don't have to pay customers back.
i do love how the "parent" company says losses will be high.. they are going to write off/avoid the brunt of the "losses" when they file bankruptcy for the sub company.
sorry i had this argument with my boss a few months ago - about locking up records and bookkeeping stuff.. they wanted the GM, Me to have the keys and someone suggested giving one to the Janitor so he could empty the trash.. the fact that i had to explain how bad of an idea that is just kills me..
personally i agree with you - as for the start of this story - i find it funny that they thing it should be a crime, ~1 year ago a friend used me as a reference for a Top Secret Clearance, the person from DHS came in with all my finances for several years including a rental i don't claim as one (not required to). She also questioned me about Facebook & LinkedIn (which i don't use). She was very curious about any online aliases i go by - and people who i talk to online.
for them to say this should be a crime - they need to look close at them selves..
well there - answered my question, sorry I've heard a lot of people complain about defrag & VSS messing with each other, rather than take a logical sane look at the problem and plan a solution, in your case you did.
you are correct that your clusters have to be 16k or larger..
my question is why haven't you taken the time to back up, reformat to 16k clusters, and restore.. do it once and you don't have to worry about defrag and shadow copies running into problems.. i'm sure it's a lot less work then having to go get backups from tape, and scheduling defrag around major deadlines rather than need.
while i am a fan of MS security essentials for end users - MS intentional prevent it from running on their server OS's. (and for good reason, it's not designed for that workload environment). so when it comes to free ClamAV is up there on the server side.
Truth is when you add all the taxes he really pays through corporate taxes on his investment firm that he is the majority holder in, he pays a massive amount more then his secretary could even think of paying
if GE can make it's US payment 0 while earning 10b - i'm sure Buffet's tax people can too.
Warren Buffet isn't stupid - If he doesn't has to pay the taxes then he won't. He's just one of the very few super rich that are pointing out how dumb it is that he can get away with it.
irresponsible companies are that didn't when they suffer an economic fall and don't have the reserves to survive without bailouts.
my only comment on that - is there never should have been a "bailout" to the same companies that created the mess they can't survive.
the fact that they where loaning 200-300k$ to people making minimum wage - they should have to eat that loan.. if they don't have the cash they need to look at all the extra cash they gave them selves and pay the company back out of their own damn pocket because they where wrong to take it in the first place.
you mean like the cable company? that everyone hates? and only uses because it is the only option in their area?
Netflix is what i switched to to get rid of cable, and it has worked fine.
I can see their need to separate the two sides - and even at the current price it is worth it to us.
if they start pulling the crap the cable companies do (say 50 cents a month per "authorized device" or the 10$ the cable charges) i will be walking away and just killing it completely.
so far Netflix has done a good job give then world we are in - i have yet to see them actively try to screw their customer base over.
i remember that time too - but back then i was a tinkerer - and in 4-5th grade i would be sent to class rooms to "fix" the machines that where either locked up or had errors or wouldn't start. All i had was a cheat sheet of mac error codes and a screw driver (did a lot of part mixing and swapping). now days they would never let a student do that.
by his argument he would - rather than hypothesising that it is a strawman and someone can knock it down, he would observe it happen and learn a lesson.
much like modern chem class where you learn reactions on paper but it isn't till college when you MIGHT get to mix something together. sorry but i had a chem set at home before i was 10. made a lot of interesting things with that.
Maybe a better solution would have been to provide him a state vehicle with a hidden GPS tracker.:P
Or an Obvious one, functional or not. That might have got him back into line if there was wrong doing, or show he wasn't worth keeping, either way it would have been far cheaper than a lawsuit even if they win it.
Or maybe we could do the sane thing and not hold anyone responsible for acts of nature that can't be perfectly predicted and/or controlled?
so your saying that because a hurricane can't be "perfectly predicted and/or controlled" we should hold no one responsible for not telling people they should leave an area that is below see level and is very likely going to be hit by a hurricane in the near future.
there is a difference between trying to predict - and adequately warning people of what might happen.
this case is for the latter - the prosecution believes they either: A) didn't warn people when they should of B) knowingly misled the people of the potential danger C) some combination of A & B
if the prosecution is right then bringing charges against them is the right thing to do.
i would say that depends - if the person who is the expert is telling you that that the smaller quakes are nothing to worry about and not a sign of anything larger and that everything will be fine.. then that person might have accepted the answer, stayed home, and died.
that is the basis of the case - and i can see the reasoning. if they can show that they knowingly made false claims about safety then they have a very strong case.
it would be like NY city right after 9/11 telling the pubic that the dust filled air is perfectly safe to breath and there is no need to try to filter out the asbestos, i don't know if they did that nor not, and i agree that common sense should tell you that you might want to try and filter that out, but then again common sense isn't so common.
Slashdot Mirror
so you thing CA's or say RSA shouldn't do back ground checks because it's just a "job" and doesn't require "top secret" clearance?

or go to the local thrift store and pick up an old but working one for ~10$

including the janitor.
but how else is he going to empty the trash?

Except I wasn't the person getting clearance - i was just someone he put down as someone he knows.
i wasn't the one getting the "state secrets" but rather just someone who knew him.
also very few jobs i consider "office monkey" require background checks. (except in financial institutions)
don't know why or how you got the idea he is "holy in his quests" - i make no such judgement of people either way..

i will agree with you - but for now DNSSEC is only useful against MITM once users stop supporting traditional DNS.

sorry you didn't point out "Microsoft" that was another poster above you sorry - but my point still stands.
