You might be waiting a while. They've been making superhero films since the '40s, (and earlier if you account for less traditional "superheroes"). And of course, zombie films have been around even longer than that...
Humans will always be interested in the thought that an ordinary person might become something special... something powerful and extraordinary. I suspect this is the same allure that the lottery offers - it's unlikely, but getting bitten by a radioactive spider - well, that -could- happen, right? That's quite possibly why origin stories are so delicious for a lot of people, (until they get retold too many times)... Might even be why some sequels tend to be a bit of a downer.
Zombies are a bit different.... that's more about the horror of something worse than death, and the potential of it happening to your loved ones. Tugs on a different set of emotional strings.
I can't speak for the psychology of the humans coding with it today, but by the time this 'terminology' becomes offensive to the actual code, I strongly suspect the terms 'master' and 'slave' will be in vogue again...
An excellent question, but unfortunately organizations don't always have the luxury of selecting software that isn't. Different industries have different software requirements that often bind their hands with respect to OS choice. For example, healthcare require specific features in an EMR, and there may not be enough of a selection out there in that specialized field to allow for the luxury of selecting Linux, at least not in a simplified way... and part of the reason for this, is, even if you could run such clients on Linux, (with the help of Mono or other tech), the proprietary support from some of these companies would not allow for it. It becomes too much of a hassle, and nobody in these industries care much for starting a "holy war" over an ecosystem that they don't invest much heart or soul into. In healthcare, for example, patient care is all that matters, and whether that happens in Linux or Windows is typically a very minor concern.
That's not a problem with a clean power plan. That's just life. If you invest in anything, you'd better be prepared to have the floor fall out under it, because you can't go back and change your forecast and not invest.
Unless you've been under a rock, or think that a vast majority of scientists are somehow plotting together to make up some huge carbon-footprint global-warming conspiracy theory, it really doesn't work both ways. Economic problems will be the least of our concerns if we render this pale blue dot largely uninhabitable.
Security is layered, and anyone who thinks DR and business continuity plans are all you need to protect against these threats is really doing things backwards. With appropriate next gen firewalls in place with proper UTM and endpoint protection, it's completely possible to track exploits, infections, and intrusions even through complex networks if you have the right security appliances in place. It's also possible to head these things off at the pass before they do extensive damage to a network by isolating the affected systems in the network. This can happen -very- fast, and can be handled in an autonomous fashion. What you're describing is Armageddon... the kind that sinks large businesses in a day. If you're spending that much money on DR, I'd expect there'd be a budget for the kinds of security solutions that would prevent or at least mitigate and isolate the actual damage in the first place. Recovering a few systems is one thing. Recovering a majority of your network sounds like your RTO just jumped from hours to weeks.
But hey... these things don't go down well at the budgetary meetings, do they?
Maybe this is a grey area for some people, and colour me ignorant about what spelling they favour in the UK, but here in Canada, it'd take a lot more than US influence to get me to draft up my documents the lazy way. Is there a draught in here? Well... gotta keep ploughing away here at the data centre.
I'm pretty sure that this experiment didn't set out to prove the FDA is corrupt and is maliciously slapping arbitrary expiry dates on drugs so you would waste your money. The FDA's primary goal isn't drug stability over 15 years, for example, it's what is safe in a reasonable amount of time for those drugs to be consumed. Do you really want to pay the FDA to do decades long studies on all prescription drugs with the intent of seeing how many generations you can pass your prescription drugs cache down?
It's not the radio tech I'd be concerned with. I'd be more worried about the logic, and trust. Do you browse a website just because there's a link to it? Same with cars and infrastructure - we'd have to establish trust between vehicles and other endpoints. How is that going to work? That's a bigger problem than merely getting every autonomous vehicle talking on some protocol.
I've been wondering lately if tech companies are just throwing technology at various populations to see what sticks. Is it cheaper to develop this crap and see if they stumble on something popular and trendy, or if they actually spend any time or effort researching and vetting ideas before developing them? Maybe I'm slowly going beige, but this idea just seems ludicrous to my dusty old brain.
Streaming services such as Netflix provide ISPs what are essentially servers stuffed with drives that provide a local cache to their streaming content. This means you don't end up using bandwidth between the ISP and their Tier 1 provider for that type of content. While the CRTC are saying that should still count toward your data cap, it can also be considerably less expensive for the ISP.
I agree with this sentiment. Touchpads are the ultimate in dumbing down a HID to make it 'friendly' but ultimately less efficient. I refuse to use a consumer notebook these days, so I stick with my T-series ThinkPads with TrackPoint. I understand why some people like touchpads, but I find them irritating, slow, awkward, and inaccurate. Also, nothing like moving a mouse without taking your hands off the home keys.
Bay area? I live in Ontario Canada, you insensitive clod.:)
And agreed - but a lot of people live in condos, apartments, and semi-detached homes where the extra bass won't always make you friends with your neighbours... my point was that not everyone lives in a single home, so sometimes the sound is more impressive, (if not better), in a theatre.
Spend enough money for your kitchen equipment and ingredients, and why eat out anymore? Even if you suck at cooking, there are plenty of options for eating a variety of cuisine of decent quality at home.
Here's why.... people get stir-crazy and want an experience... an event... a reason to get out. True, not all theatres are a pleasant experience, but we have a few in my town with huge leather reclining seats, wide isles, and other and massively overpriced VIP options. So sometimes an 'experience' means leaving the house and sharing it with random strangers.
Oh, and 'bout that bass, I'd probably be evicted from my apartment if I decided to get 'dat bass. So pushing my culinary comments aside, for a lot of people, a big ol' theatre is still a better experience than in-home viewing.
Cite some sources. Also, are you talking about immigration, or are you talking about ethnic roots. You don't even discuss trends. Your "quick looking" isn't terribly helpful. Also useful to a discussion about "happiness" might be how ethnic identities are perceived or maintained. Does the society lean towards a mosaic or melting pot? And how relevant is that? Seems a little more complicated than "quick looking" allows for. If you don't have the time to add actual data to a conversation, (like me), why not ask some good questions instead?
This would be cool for archival or cold tier storage solutions, where the data is flagged as having some acceptable degree of permanency is moved onto these WORM devices. I can think of all sorts of applications - financial, backup, legal, content libraries with immutable data, (like old documents, manuals, videos, etc.).
You could focus more on read speeds and less on write issues, and while I'm no expert, I imagine there are plenty from an engineering point of view.
I bet YouTube and Netflix would go nuts over things like these...
This won't be made primarily for _you_, its real value is _in_ the cloud. Lower overall power usage in a high-density environment, and in spite of what some might think, even a high cost drive will save money when you scale out, as long as its benefits can be felt on that scale, (lower wattage, better rack utilization with more TB per U, fewer individual points of failure per PB, lower overall cost per GB on the PB scale, (and probably on the TB scale as well)).
Most of the comments so far seem to be about 16TB being a bit on the ridiculous side for PCs and even small servers, etc. What these are exciting for aren't RAID or traditional PC's but for high density storage for Big Data, which typically doesn't use RAID, and generally only looks at SSDs as a "hot tier" solution. 16TB spindles sound great to me, but I'd never stick one in my home PC.
Absolutely. Not saying it's wrong. I'm saying it takes time to get it right, and while doctors may have that discipline, many of the patients and people trying to support those patients simply don't.

How do you create an acronym and then pronounce it wrong? That's just fucking retarded.
Oh really?
Pronounce Scuba for me.... now, pronounce each word the letters in Scuba stand for... Betcha you never pronounced it sc-uh-ba in your life.

I could care fewer
You couldn't care fewer.
...and then hope and pray your house doesn't slam into a safety barrier at high speed while you're asleep at the wheel.

I'd be interested to know who -wasn't- rejected in spite of questionable social media comments.
The NSA, CIA, FBI and local police are on board....
