Why would you need linux support? Go spend the $70-$90 on a apple tv, roku, google tv, etc and hook it up to your monitor via a second hdmi port. Problem solved. Next issue?
Another way is to completely scrap the computer systems and go back to paper. It is a lot harder to get a hold of 500,000 classified documents and walk out of the office with them. I think it'd get flagged if Mr. Manning all of a sudden was at the photo copier 24x7 for a few weeks.
I actually have 5 drive-in's near me, although I've only actually been to one of them. They converted to digital a year or two ago, and it's always packed on the weekends. They have BBQ's all set up if you want to bring your own food (and charcoal), and while they do have a concession stand there with a variety of food (hot dogs, pizza, popcorn, etc etc), there is also a nice hot dog place right next to it. When we do go, we stop by the hot dog place, get a bunch of dogs, drinks, and fries first. They never have an issue with you bringing in outside food (except for a couple months a while back, but it was only food from that hot dog place that wasn't allowed, and specifically because the hot dog place refused to turn off their bright lights during movie times... Which was quickly rectified).
The used to (many years ago), allow you to bring your own BBQ grill, but they no longer allow them, likely fire hazards, and people bringing in giant BBQs taking up space and creating enough smoke to cause an issue. I see all kinds of people there ranging all ages and all manner of life (poor, rich, single, married, families, single person). It is a much different experience than seeing a movie in a movie theater, and a lot more fun if you actually want to socialize with people at the movies without worrying about disturbing those around you. Having a nice stereo in your car helps too.
I'm pretty sure your idea of how TRIM works is flawed. Close, but flawed. An erase "cycle" turns all the bits to 0. You can then write to the sector to turn some of the bits from 0 to 1. You CAN re-write the same sector, but ONLY if you are turning on bits, and not turning any off. NAND cells wear out from performing too many erases, not reads or writes. Note that most sectors you aren't usually just turning on bits, so you typically have to do an erase and then write, but not always.
Now as for TRIM. For most disk operations, when a sector/page/whatever is no longer logically used, it isn't told to write 0's to the sector, it's just marked as unused in whatever filesystem you are using. The disk controller doesn't understand filesystem structures so it doesn't know which sectors which are filled with unused data (0's and 1's) are logically unused, so it can't pre-erase them. Without TRIM, eventually all "unused" sectors get filled with garbage, and when the OS asks for the sector to be used again, it must first do an erase before it can write to it, which kills the drive performance on writes. With TRIM, the OS tells the controller than these sectors are no longer in use, and you can erase them when you get a chance, so that I can then write to them later by just doing a write operation instead of an erase and then write.
And as an additional anecdote, because I can... I have 6 SSDs (2 Intel X25-M bought 2008, 1 OCZ Vertex 2, 1 OCZ Vertext 3, 2 Samsung 830s). One Intel died when it was about 90 days old, and Intel replaced it free of charge, free shipping both ways, and they cross shipped it. All 6 are still running today. The other Intel SSDs is in one of my Internet facing Web/FTP/Email/MySQL servers serving a few thousand clients and has been running 24x7 for 5 years. Last I checked it, it was less than 5% "used up" it's write cycles. This was switched from a traditional HDD that was running at 100% for most of the day. When we switched it to SSD, it was utilizing the SSD at 5% during peak times.
In that same time frame, I started with 6 320GB drives in a raid. 2 failed, I replaced them all with 2 1TB drives. 1 of those 1TB drives failed, I replaced both with 4 2TB drives. 2 of the 2TB drives failed, and I replaced them with 6 3TB drives. Since then, I've expanded it to 10 3TB drives in the raid array, 2 in a different raid, and had 3 of them fail of which I've replaced 2 of the 3. So in 5 years, I've had one SSD controller failure (of 5), and 8 hard drive failures (of 26, many of which were taken out of service prematurely because of the high failure rate). All the mentioned HDDs were my personal hard drives on my main PC. Not exactly stress testing them, but would sometimes push their throughput to the limit for a small portion of the day.
So for my small sample rate, HDDs die much faster than SSDs do, and I do a lot more I/O on my SSDs than I do my HDDs. Contrary to what some people say, my swap file, hibernation file, OS, and temp file location is on the SSD, while the HDD array is mainly for storing large media, and a smaller 2-drive RAID-1 for applications.
Had you ever bought a tire rated for speeds in excess of 100mph you would know that alone is expensive.
So tires rated up to 168 would easily qualify. I also listed Y-rated tires that are rated for 188+MPH which covers 200 MPH further in the thread if you care to read it.
Yes, sort of how google fiber got rolled out. They deployed it in cities that agreed to all their demands up front. No building permits, right of way, etc etc.
Right now it is restricted for a number of months, or a year, but we could easily say 1 passenger and no driving after 10, without a special waiver, for anyone under 19, with any accident resulting in a year increase.
That is already the case in Illinois. What state do you live in.
Wow, what a piece of crap article. This would have been a non-starter if it was an article about a man instead of a woman, and could have been written then EXACT same way and people wouldn't be crying sexism. Read the comments on it, most people called the author of that piece of crap out on it too, as they should. I read the article she was quoting and I never came to the conclusions she did. I didn't assume the woman was a slut, nor because of the gender of her date that it was chauvinistic. With slight change of "Police spoke to the man" to "Police spoke to her date" the entire article seems the same, although you don't know if her date was a man or a woman, and it doesn't all of a sudden sound like it was written to punish lesbians.
White people don't get off with a warning to murder charges. I've never murdered anyone, so I guess I can't be too sure, but I'm reasonably sure that I couldn't talk my way out of it because I'm white.
In a car actually designed to run at those speeds, it really isn't much more dangerous (excluding bad drivers). Well designed cars give better downforce on both the front and rear of the car, which actually gives them better traction at high speed. Most cars aren't designed for those speeds, and some actually give LESS downforce on the front as they increase speed which is dangerous indeed. But make it autonomous, and I bet cars doing 200MPH will result in significantly less accidents (and fatalities) than the bozos doing 55-75 manually. People regularly do (or did when I was there) 140MPH on the autobahn in Europe, and even doing 140MPH you weren't the fastest, and would get passed by a motorcycle. But the roads are better maintained, designed for high speed, and they don't give out driver's licenses just because you hit a certain age and can sign your name at the top of a "test".
That said, there are a lot more hurdles to getting a car to run well at 200MPH than 150MPH, but I doubt they are as insurmountable as you make them out to be. Tires rated for 188+MPH are indeed a bit more expensive ($1,500ish for a set of 4), and they last about 70% as long as any other tire. This is a far cry from your claims. If the 200MPH autonomous car became common, you'd see the cost of tires drop significantly as they started to produce them in reasonable numbers. Right now they are somewhat of a rarity, reserved for very high end cars. Message me in a year, because my current car is getting a bit old, and my next one comes from the factory with Y-rated tires, and has a top end of just over 200MPH. I'll let you know how the tires hold up.
It's improved significantly. There is no "metabase" anymore. Everything is stored in.config files that you can edit with a text editor if you want. It has some really nice features, and is really easy to manage via GUI if you prefer too. Or powershell if that's your thing.
Simple reason really. Microsoft serves static pages faster than Apache and scales better under this scenario. It allows Go Daddy to park more sites on the same host, which then saves them money.
Honest answer: Because IIS serves static pages faster than Apache does so they can park more domains on the same hardware. With the amount of domains they park, it's not an insignificant difference.
Here is a link to the ones I have:http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Eagle+F1+Asymmetric+All-Season&partnum=74WR7F1AAS&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Pontiac&autoYear=2002&autoModel=Trans%20Am%20WS6&autoModClar=
Under $400 for a set of 4 isn't "expensive" and rated to up to 168MPH. Which is exactly what I need since the top end of my car is 167.
No offense, but I suggest you get back into your Volkswagen and let the grown ups talk. Yes, I've driven over 100 mph. Yes, I've driven over 150 mph. Yes, I've AVERAGED (including gas stops, bathroom stops, and getting speeding tickets) over 110 MPH driving from Chicago to San Diego. Average speed while driving ~130.
No, tires rated for continual driving at over 150 MPH on my car are not that expensive.
Because it was the gov'ment that is doing the high speed rail, while the hyperloop would likely be done by a private company, and only after the cities involved had agreed to get the hell out of way.
Every American should support union busting. We don't need unions anymore. If you think the work week should be shorter, or that x amount of weeks of vacation should be mandatory, then have it passed as law. Unions serve no real purpose other than to collect dues and try and raise the cost of labor so high that it causes the business they are in to become unprofitable and go out of business. See any of the big bankruptcies in the past 10 years. Many more bankruptcies averted only because all the crap the unions pushed for got rolled back to sane levels.
Lol. PNG is supported by the vast majority of older browsers. It has basic support going all the way back to IE version 5.5, and has support for alpha transparency (without filters) since IE 7. IE 9 fixed a few remaining issues with alpha transparency and opacity on the same image. We don't even get any IE 7 users on our sites anymore (0.03% or something), and 4% are using IE 8. We don't officially support anything less than IE 9.
You may not want to use the advanced features of PNG (transparency or full 8-bit transparency) if you want to continue to support old browsers, but even those will see the PNG images, but they will look odd at the semi-transparency areas, and I don't believe in catering to those that don't want to upgrade. Continuing to make all the sites work with really old browsers just lets those people continue to drag the rest of the web down. I prefer to leave them behind and if they decide they still don't want to upgrade, that is their choice. They can choose not to upgrade, and I can choose to ignore them. We've found that the lower web page size, the reduced costs, and more responsive the site increases revenue MUCH more than what we lose by catering to the old browser crowd. It's a no-brainer trade-off for us.
