In the west, we see western news, which reports on our own casualties and omits that which they think won't be of interest. For all you know, killings have gone rampant in other countries by Christianesque loonies, but it's just not being reported here.
So that the firefighters don't start dumping water onto live power mains?
It also helps people there stop electrical fires from massively spreading. Yes, there's already a fire, but the spread of it won't cause more shorts which can keep the fire going and/or burn out in seperate areas where the lines are overheating.
Actually, it's more likely because the EU has harmonized border policies.
You get the EU stamp on arrival at the airport, and then you're good to go wherever you want in the EU.
When my wife and I went to Austria and Hungary, we flew into Munich, got a stamp, and then just showed that to everyone - including the Hungarian border guard.
Tanks all around, SMG-armed guards, and she (the border guard) looks at the passport momentarily, "Danke", and waves us on. Thank god, since we didn't speak a word of Hungarian!
Unless it means that the "cheapskate blog admins" were too cheapskate to buy proper dual-power supply boxes so that they can have dual power paths right to the servers.
You can have all the great redundant mains and backups you want, and it's for shit if you only have one power line to the system and that power bus loses juice.
You mention that it will be outside, not heated or cooled - but then omit to mention if you're talking the heat and humidity of Florida, or the bitter cold of Fairbanks.
I had a system in a similarly non-controlled climate, and it was fine just until the temperatures started to hit freezing. That was enough for the moist Vancouver air to condense, and frzzzt....
The mentions of thinclients sound like the best plan so far. Not only is it easier to seal up, with less heat generation there and less moving parts, it's also easier to move back inside when the weather becomes unfriendly to electronics.
What's the maximum resolution you can get with a projector?
On an array of screens it's easy to have (for example) 5120x4096, with a 4x4 array of 1280x1024 capable monitors... well, if your cards can support it of course.;)
Leaking caps are usually pretty obvious. Brown gunk all over the cap or base of the capacitor, where it should be nice and smooth. Sometimes it just swells on the visible end, though, with the electrolyte being hidden underneath.
You are more likely to have a free software version of the application you mention, than a closed version, unless you pay out the nose to have it made.
Think about it - why would some commercial developer make an app that is specific to you, without knowing you will cover all of their development costs, plus profit margin?
They did do something about the chunks of ice though - they put on foam insulation... which then cracked off in big enough chunks to break things.
Part of me almost thinks that heating the skin (to eliminate the ice buildup) would be better than insulation, but that's such an obvious idea that it must have been brought up and found impractical. Thermal stressing on the outer edges of the tanks springs to mind, where they're picking up the heat from the skin heater.
Hang on, you told him the correct term was cracker, but that if he used the correct term, there'd be hell to pay? If you knew that, then why bother correcting him?
You make a chip run. You try to make them all perfect in terms of tolerances, but errors creep in, meaning some only work with 100% accuracy at 90% of the hoped speed. So, you sell them rated at that clock speed.
Remember, as well, there's no modifying or relabelling going on here. They test these things before they even break them out from the silicon disk that they were built up on. Ones that fail completely get a little red blot of paint on them, and then the rest get their best speeds figured out and sorted. This all happens long before they get put into casings.
It's not hearsay, either. I've seen slow-motion videos of the testers in action... a fraction of a second for the test, then a blob of ink if it fails, then on to the next.
I don't recall seeing in the article reference to actual VPN technoligies... just obscurity.
A VPN involves address encapsulation - the VPN has it's own address space, and when your packets are in transit between nodes that know of the VPN, they're wrapped up inside other packets, that go between publically adressible nodes.
What I saw in this article was basically just a bunch of really covert but publically addressible internet sites (FTP, web, etc).
To put it another way - I could have a webserver on my system that's only accessible after port knocking in a specific pattern, but that doesn't mean you're on "my VPN" when you manage to connect to it.
They sell it to you for $225 because that's $225 LESS that they will lose on that flight.
Airplanes don't expand and contract to fit the number of people on them. That seat will fly empty and cost $300 to fly from one end to the other no matter if you're in it or not (yes, I know there's some cost savings by not processing you or your baggage, but the biggest cost is flying the plane's mass).
It's the next-to-last minute seats and business class travellers that make the real money. All the rest is just trying to squeeze the most money out of the flight.
I think you've got your Norwegian and Korean wires crossed. Kimchi, which is essentially pickled and spiced cabbage with spicy fish paste, is often said to be buried in a clay pot for a year while it ferments.
Speaking from personal experience, it ranged from "damn that's hot" to "where did my lower jaw go?"

That entirely depends on your viewpoint, though.

Considering both of those are twenty times the size of the controls on my stero, no.

You also need to look where your finger is going. That is technically dangerous - those kids have a pesky habit of jumping out in front of you.
Why is he thrwing floppies like shuriken?

The natural enemy of the pirate is the ninja.
Software pirate, software ninja. QED.

Not that you're allowed to, but that it's not surprising when it happens.
If only we could expect Microsoft to provide the source code so those who wanted to stay on the old version could do so, while fixing their own bugs.

Him being incorrect for your area doesn't mean he's incorrect overall. You may be the beneficiary of a pricing war in your area.

Wow. I'm surprised - I thought the wireless cards were one hell of a lot more efficient than that.
If you could do away with the hard drive, you'd probably end up ahead while running the wifi constantly.

It's not that it fails period.
It fails at a given speed.
You make a chip run. You try to make them all perfect in terms of tolerances, but errors creep in, meaning some only work with 100% accuracy at 90% of the hoped speed. So, you sell them rated at that clock speed.

Not a big fan of the Splinter Cell games?
Those are Ubisoft.
That's very true. They want the extra capacity and frequent routes to be a "better choice" for the traveller.
They sell it to you for $225 because that's $225 LESS that they will lose on that flight.

I would tend to think that blowing chunks off would cause vibrations and mass shifting that would make the mass more likely to slide off.
