I agree. Dump it now while its worth something. Become the next Mark Cuban after he sold broadcast.com. He made his millions and can live comfortably now.
You're kidding right? Why do you think we're bombing ISIS in the first place? If they didn't exist, or didn't behead people, or didn't kill people, and instead just played Bridge on Friday nights and ate pizza, we wouldn't be bombing them.
If they stopped doing what they were doing, we wouldn't attack them. You have it all backwards.
There is some value with having people who are more informed than you make SOME of the decisions. You trust that their expertise will help you. It's why 401K plans work at businesses. They've already picked 12 good mutual funds; you don't need to wade through a hundred of them.
If I had to choose between a hundred different options, in every aspect of my life, I might get overwhelmed too.
I read something that those diesel engines were putting out 35x the amount of NOX over the EPA limit. That's not a rounding error. That had to be baked into the engine design well before the emissions programmers got a hold of them. Everybody must have known.
I'm amused by the jerkfest I'm reading here from people "one upping" each other on how they've never watched an episode, or didn't know what it was about, or never heard of it. Plueezz. For whatever reason, it seems to make people feel superior by rising above BBT. Well, it doesn't make you seem any more enlightened - only pompous, or perhaps lacking a sense of humor.
I love the show. I think it's funny. And as a counterpoint, I couldn't stand The Office....but at least I've heard of it.
Even in the USA, decades past we didn't have this problem. It's social. Heck, back in the 50's kids would take rifles on the bus for a shooting or rifle club at high school. What changed? Simply that we breed more fuckwods these days. People aren't civil. Apparently they are in other 1st world countries.
I realize we're all getting a chuckle out of cheaters being outed on the Internet, but still this kinda sucks. Today it may be AshleyMadison, but what if tomorrow it's bank records? I can't say I'm happy about these hackers doing that, only for what it may mean in the future.
This one I don't get. Other than maybe militant Amish people, who wants to kill the Internet in their own city? Wouldn't that just be hurting yourself?
I work with Cisco products all day long. Some I love, some I don't. The ASA's are long in the tooth and pretty much everybody has passed them up. Now I just use them as a glorified VPN concentrator. Traditional WiFi (Aironet WLC product line) is still the best in the biz as far as I'm concerned, but that model is being challenged by the Meraki's of the world. The CUCM VoIP products SUCK!!! From a management standpoint, it's awful. Sure, it can produce dial-tone and make a phone call after massaging the f*ck out of it, but so what? Give me Avaya any day.
Even if their switches aren't the fastest in the world, they are ubiquitous and just work. I'd rather have an old 6509E than most modern alternatives just because of what the software can do. It's not always about speed.
Irrelevant. A storage medium shouldn't be so volatile than a mere month without power would cause them to go bad. I wouldn't touch 16nm TLC with a 10' pole.
Wear leveling doesn't help with static data as much, or if the SSD doesn't have power. The second you stop flowing electricity through it, the degradation starts (albeit very slowly). At the rate they are going, the hard drive manufacturers should have nothing to worry about. Sure, cheaper cost per Gig will make hard drives less attractive for a primary OS, but on the other hand, HDD's can retain data while it is off for months or years at a time.
As someone who uses USB HDD's for backups (not powered up much) this is important. Some may think this is silly, but imagine if you were told you had to spin up every one of your DVD-R's every few months to keep the data intact?
This is why all my SSD's are older. Most are 34nm, some 25nm. Nothing smaller. The speed trade-off from 22nm, 20nm, 19nm and below is barely incremental in daily usage.
I care more about reliability and would be willing to give up some benchmark numbers for it. The smaller they make the NAND, the bigger chance of bit rot.
Microsoft should know this from their own past. It's not necessarily who is the best, but who starts early and gets the market share.
Case and point: MS-DOS
By any yardstick, DOS was a pretty mediocre operating system, even accounting for the time. But when everybody started writing software, games, drivers and hardware for it, the rest did not matter. And they carried that success through Windows 3.1 and 95. Not even OS/2 could compete.
You are under the assumption that everyone agrees you get a good education in an "elite" school. Many of them are just liberal indoctrination machines. Any census on the number of liberal vs conservative professors will back that up.

What's the world coming to when people are cheating at shuffleboard?

Osama Bin Laden was not poor or disenfranchised or ignorant. It's a belief system.
Not all cultures or religions are created equal. Once everybody recognizes that, we can start addressing the problem.

So are they saying that encryption protocols aren't using....optimus prime numbers?

Did you order the code red? You goddamn right I did!

If the new menu is so darn nice - nice enough to win awards, why is the fact it is customizable a good thing? Who would want to change perfection? :)

They listed the Linksys WRT54GL. Alex, I'll take "Routers nobody should be using anymore" for $2000.

" Unpowered data retention is around 10 years for relatively unworn flash and around 1 year for worn flash."
Unfortunately, that is not true of smaller processes. It's much worse. That figure is for 90nm SLC.

New version is god awful. The old one allowed you to zoom before printing, had better directions instructions, pretty much everything.
I don't understand?
