your right - we where but now i can get more done in the same amount of time..
I'm all for using what is appropriate for the job.. but as someone who has to compile/encode/model/texture/VM's an Intel Atom or equivalent just doesn't work - yes it can do it.. but you know what.. it is a hell of a lot faster on an i7 - in fact you could do all of it on a 386 (minus VM) if you wanted to.. but why would you on a regular basis?
Use the right tool for the job to get it done effectively..
I agree - or they could even put in transfer switches so that they could do it faster - either way it is the option of turning power off to the consumers.. which for the safty and longevity and cost is the logical thing to do - but because people/consumers are not rational - this won't happen and instead we will fry transformers and replace them all in the name of instant gratification.
So your solution is to duplicate every one of these?
My solution is to ask the power companies to take care of the problem, in the most efficient way possible. If there's a better way than buying double, they are more than welcome to use it.
...
the cheapest and most obvious solution is for them to disconnect transmission lines from sub stations ahead of the storm and ground them - then after it has passed reconnect. to do this on a large scale would take days head of the storm and days behind.. so best case ~1-2 weeks.
personally i'd be fine with it.. but i have this odd feeling that most of the rest of the world wouldn't.. it's that lovely instant gratification feeling that people seem to have..
I'm not sure - personally i'd rather not have to rely on shipments from earth, but
considering the upper estimation for the ISS is ~160 billion (so far over it's life), which is quite less than the 1 Trillion you asked me to raise..
i know they are completely different - but i really doubt putting a couple people on a one way trip with a self sustaning habitat on mars would cost much more than the 10 years we have been doing anything and everything under the sun on the ISS, let alone cost ~5 times it.
BUT even if it did cost 1 Trillion- i'd rather spend 1 Trillion to start a colony on Mars than invade another country for big corp.
i'm betting we could do it for a lot less - mainly because if i went i would plan on staying - the idea that we have to start with round trips is stupid in my mind. with this (if it is actually water) we would have a good spot to start with green houses to and to start colony
you are looking at a different sets - when it comes to "power" there is a minority of the population that has it - but when you look at the Racial Minority Sets and do a Venn diagram you will notice little overlap between these two separate "minority" sets..
i already stuck the syllabus on my calendar - i don't take classes for "credit" i take them to actually learn something interesting and/or useful to me. this is a great opportunity, that may not present it's self again.
they are the first that does it just like the normal course - with graded work - and completion - for free. all the others you list are just references and the material.
Toyota - my daily driver - great gas mileage - and runs great - knows everything in it and towing behind it
Ford - used for excessive loads and long trips towing - gas mileage is ok - runs ok (off idle but not much) - has zero clue you have a load in the bed or another car towing behind.
the Toyota i expect to be usable and reliable - the Ford i expect to be able to drive into the ground and have it still move, it might not want to but it will, it is far more of a work horse. (now granted this is an early 90's F150 not the crap they put out later (and now from what I've heard)
so you went from multiple physical boxes with disks to a single VM host and single disk? that doesn't make any sense to me - except a failure in planning.
what we do for that is pass the disks from the san directly to VM - you get the benefit of VMs in reduced number of CPUs/RAM/Power and keep the same san requirements. then we combine VM's into groups to present on host disks on the san based on performance.
you can get the benefits of VM's without experiencing the performance problems of shared disks, you just have to plan for it.
so the fact that i have a good number of my college professors on aim is a problem?
what about e-mail addresses and regular contact previous teachers..?
just because it is "facebook" or a "social network" does not make it some special haven for wrong doings.. what they are pushing is zero contact out side of the classroom for any reason. And all for the "think of the children, every street corner has a child molester on it" mentality.
your saying "friend a student on a social network where there is personal interaction well beyond the teaching environment" - now take this out of context of the internet.
my wife is a school teacher.. it is not uncommon for kids of that age to give hugs to teachers.. so say we are in a "social network" aka a Grocery store, and a kid from her class or a previous class says "hi" and gives her a hug.. Now you that is personal interaction outside the teaching environment. are you suggesting that she be fired for it? or even put in jail for it?
remember that while every manufacturer gets a huge block - that block is not enough for each device to be unique for the larger players. and i believe it was only in the last 10 years they started to allow a company to have more than one block.
considering that dupe MAC's only cause problems at the layer 2 level and there for on the directly connected network - having them use the same MAC on more than once device is not a problem.. until the odds catch up and the same customer ends up with both devices. (lucky me!)
so you are questioning if it is even legal to do BUT your fine for having some one fired for the action (basically derailing their life).
I will say that i am friends with a lot of my old teachers and coaches.. when i'm in town i drop by to say hi and see how things are going.. for the ones that have moved away its a random e-mail, still contact.
now i don't have them "friend-ed" on facebook - because well i don't use "social networking" - but rather communicate with people and make friends.
now.. why should the teacher who does a good job and makes a life long impression on their students get fired because they are nice people?
It's one thing to say conversations need to be kept in the open (upon request from the appropriate people) - it's another to say that you can never have a one to one conversation with a student (and they Include FORMER students).
This is nothing by nanny state crap - and personally i'm sick of it.
Arlo: "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time...

laptop - dvd drive = netbook
that i don't agree with, netbook in my idea is a sub class of laptop that has enough processing power to consume but not enough to effectively create.
aka you can browse the web and watch video - but really comping,encoding, or in general heavy work just isn't going to be exceptable.
to me
laptop - dvd drive = most "ultra light" laptop/notebooks
you can get an i7 in a 2.2lbs x220, there is no optical drive, and it surly isn't a "netbook"

i would do it in a heart beat..
i blame gremlins .. if the RAF can do it so can I.
not just prevent procrastination but to guide you through the content in a structured and logical manner.

I've got both.. a Toyota and a Ford
Toyota - my daily driver - great gas mileage - and runs great - knows everything in it and towing behind it
Ford - used for excessive loads and long trips towing - gas mileage is ok - runs ok (off idle but not much) - has zero clue you have a load in the bed or another car towing behind.

feed me - i knew it was a bad line - it was meant to be funny..
in all honest i (in my head) was just thinking all the crap state and local laws..
and yet some of the people i know that work there - i wouldn't hire...
and the MPAA would be right to Sue Blockbuster if i went in and rented a DVD and a DVD Player and just sat there and watched it in their store?
so the fact that i have a good number of my college professors on aim is a problem?

nope - Just a sys admin..

considering that dupe MAC's only cause problems at the layer 2 level and there for on the directly connected network - having them use the same MAC on more than once device is not a problem.. until the odds catch up and the same customer ends up with both devices. (lucky me!)
also useful because not all MAC's are unique.. the larger the network the more likely a collision, personally I've seen several over the years.
because it wasn't Congress that made it - this is a state level law not a federal
good catch

that is also because it was meant to be used on scales that involved the curvature of the earth.. not where are my keys..
