    I've seen the Missouri State Police show up at a livestock auction and check every pickup as they leave. They were writing tickets by the bushel.

    How do you figure they get "up to 12 cores" from one CPU? Intel making a 12 core Xeon now?

    The schools that were destroyed were built in the 60s. All new schools have been built with storm shelters for many years now. Also, the "died by flooding" turned out to be inaccurate.

    All new schools here have been built with storm shelters for many years. The schools that were just destroyed were built in the 60s.

    Here in Oklahoma we have lots of groundwater and heavy red clay soil. We also have extreme temperature variations. These combine to make maintaing underground structures very difficult. A traditional basement like you find in many areas of the country can be essentially destroyed in just a few years. Underground houses have similar issues. It has been tried but so far it has not proved to be very practical. Reinforced concrete above ground structures are likely a better solution.

    Discovery only applies to data you control. Once it's on an employee owned device the company has no obligation to produce the data. The court then needs to go after the user directly if they want that. Note that there are exceptions for company officers.

    A business MAY be corrupt and controlled by ideologues. The government is ALWAYS corrupt and controlled by ideologues.

    It can only operate on a shared medium at obsolete speeds. Gigabit Ethernet won't do shared.

    While your odds of survival are better with a basement, with a storm this strong it is not enough.

  16. Common in Mexico on UN Says: Why Not Eat More Insects? · · Score: 1

    I just spent a couple of months in Mexico. While I was there I had tried several types of insect dishes. They were delicious, especially the Escamole. While they are not really part of the daily diet, they are not uncommon either. In fact, it's kind of trendy now.

    You don't think there is a chance you could pick up something through hours of listening to the guys that designed and wrote the APIs? The videos are good and provide a ton of info that you can't get anywhere else. Being there is even better.

    I've been seeing this for a while now. It is rare to see windows and when I do see it, it's on what is obviously a company provided laptop. On the plane last night I could see around me 6-8 iPads, 5-6 MacBooks and 1 windows laptop.
