One explanation I heard (reported on CNN minutes after Tower 7 collapsed) was that the building was fitted with thermite "charges" during construction so, if it ever became unstable, it could be evacuated and brought down in a controlled manner. Of course, that was in reference to Tower 7, not the main towers, but it still has the absolute stench of bullshit. No sane engineer would design that and no sane inspector would pass it, as it is a major violation of a number of fire and building codes.
Either there was no controlled demolition of Tower 7 and it fell in a controlled manner by chance, or there was a controlled demolition of Tower 7 and it was planned, which would hint to the whole event being planned, as well. Not prove, mind you, but it sure does make it look a lot less coincidental.
So, then... Unlike the person I was replying to, you probably realize that other things around the thermite will burn, creating some of those vapor byproducts we were just told thermite doesn't have.
No, it's pretty cut and dry. Copyright infringement occurs when an unauthorized party makes a copy. By uploading to YouTube, you agree, as per YouTube's terms of use, to authorize them to distribute the content.
The fact still remains that the pirate stations in question, the ones covering the topics listed in TFS at least, are typically run by people of Hispanic or Middle Eastern origins; so-called "Brown people", if you will, who broadcast to educate other new immigrants who speak their language. That, of course, doesn't make the action and more or less legal, I was really just intent on pointing out that the racism, if there is any at all[1], isn't aimed at Black people this time.
Before anyone jumps up to point out that TFS refers to pirate stations "whose hosts mainly spoke Creole", and that Creole is a term typically used to describe people of mixed Black and European descent: yes, it is, if those people were born in the West Indies or in French or Spanish America. They are decidedly not Black.
Alas, if you follow the actual tone of my comment, it's poking fun at both sides: the AC who came here to whine about racism while citing a perceived slight against the wrong group of people and those who call out racism everywhere they don't really see it. I thought I made it fairly clear that I'm Trump-neutral by also bashing Hillary in the same comment. I'll admit, I probably should have clarified that sooner, but I was honestly fairly amused with how it set cascadingstylesheet and aardvarkjoe right the hell off.
This crowd has really lost its sense of irony lately.
[1]: In this case, there's not; airwave licensing exists so stations don't step on each other
So... The only people you see use the term "brown people" are people who use the term "brown people"? That seems quite self-evident, kind of like saying the only people who have blue eyes are people with blue eyes or the only people who have jobs are employed.
It's alsl quite funny, because you used the term before I did; I said "They're brown", I guess you can go right on and add yourself to that group. In fact, this thread probably accounts for 90% of my use of the term "brown people" in my entire life; I'm betting you say it a lot more on a daily basis.
I never said Trump ever used that term. His supporters, on the other hand... And the hell you mean people like me? People who are sick and tired of seeing people persecuted for the color of their skin?
This is what people don't understand, because they've never seen it. To most folks who think $6k/mo is enterprise, a datacenter is a couple racks in a broom closed with water dripping from the ceiling and maybe a UPS that probably isn't even name brand and only has the one "critical" server plugged into it. I don't know where these people think "the cloud" resides, but the existence of a place like that is just unfathomable to them.
That, of course, is why most people shouldn't manage servers; and the ones who can't also won't get the cloud right and shouldn't be doing that, either. They should leave it to people like us who know what things look like behind the scenes and how things are likely to break, so we can architect solutions to avoid those problems.
And let Microsoft decide there's something they don't like about what you're doing and shut down all your instances in all their POIs. Hmm....
Yeah, if you're a small shop and your web presence isn't your whole business, go for it. If being taken offline means you're out of business until services are restored, perhaps you should take it a little more seriously.
I currently host with a single provider; but, then, I'm just hosting my personal shit, so it's no big deal if it's down for a minute here and there. That provider has also gone to bat for me against other providers filing takedown notices. Don't believe me? it's cool, I was in disbelief myself; turns out the support rep who processed the notice had been bitten by that other provider *cough*GoDaddy*cough* the same way I was and, rather than knock my instance (and all the sites on it) offline, notified me of the notice and attached a counter-notice form to the email.
I guess it comes down to choosing the right provider and getting in contact with the right people there so you name is known -- in a positive light. Even then, as I said above, if being taken offline means you're out of business until services are restored, perhaps you should take it a little more seriously.
Yes, and I'm sure the new overlords' AWS account is an enterprise account whereas the one you paid with a CC was not. That enterprise relationship, given the bulk purchasing it implies, also probably affords them much better rates than you were getting with your puny $6k/mo.
Because I know someone's going to insist this is not the case and ask how you know differently, I'll step in and say it now: credit card verification.
In the rare cases where enterprise services are paid for with a credit card, any and all verification for the $10k+/mo in charges is done when the contract is signed in person.
You mean if your multiple redundant ISPs go down; in which case, most of the world is probably offline just the same. Oh, and you have an SLA with those providers, because you're serious about your business, and they cover your losses.
Before you spring up some bullshit about power outages... You mean multiple geographically diverse datacenters all lost grid power and exhausted their backups simultaneously? If it takes less than that to take you offline, you're doing it wrong; and if that happens, your website is, most assuredly, near the bottom of the list of things people other than you are giving a shit about.

And the proper solution is a big-enough case (the ones that cover half an outlet on each side are, often times, not) and a pigtail.

so the ' and the e are worn out on that AC's keyboard? Nah, there are 5 other e's in that post.
So, then... Unlike the person I was replying to, you probably realize that other things around the thermite will burn, creating some of those vapor byproducts we were just told thermite doesn't have.
No, it's pretty cut and dry. Copyright infringement occurs when an unauthorized party makes a copy. By uploading to YouTube, you agree, as per YouTube's terms of use, to authorize them to distribute the content.
Ever actually seen a thermite reaction?
Exactly. This is piracy the same way watching a movie on Netflix is piracy: it's not.
The fact still remains that the pirate stations in question, the ones covering the topics listed in TFS at least, are typically run by people of Hispanic or Middle Eastern origins; so-called "Brown people", if you will, who broadcast to educate other new immigrants who speak their language.

Seemed to me, up to that point, that you were implying the same about me. So, we clear now?
It really is; and it was made by an AC about 6 posts up.
Wait, when did I call you racist?
So... The only people you see use the term "brown people" are people who use the term "brown people"? That seems quite self-evident, kind of like saying the only people who have blue eyes are people with blue eyes or the only people who have jobs are employed.

No, we've been talking about Google this whole time. What we have is an AC who can't follow context.
I'm using the term used by the racist scum to mock them. Intent makes all the difference.
No, we let them talk now. They're brown and that makes them the enemy now, just ask Trump & Co.
Before anyone goes there, no, I don't think Hillary would be doing any better.
This is what people don't understand, because they've never seen it.

No, he's just using an example that people might be familiar with.
And I was just pointing out that his example was horrible and didn't really prove his point.
And let Microsoft decide there's something they don't like about what you're doing and shut down all your instances in all their POIs. Hmm....

I see what you did there... *clop*clop*clop*
Are you a Google Cloud account manager? No? Well, then...
Do you know of anyone who runs a business on the basis of selling access to someone else's MMO?
Because I know someone's going to insist this is not the case and ask how you know differently, I'll step in and say it now: credit card verification.
