I worked as a roadie a few years ago and the companies that provide the service have optimized it as far as it goes. The sound equipment needs to be installed as quick as possible and taken down as quick as possible to the next destination.
One solution would be to order custom made equipment cases in which the suitable hardware will be installed in and secured. The cases would have (lockable) wheels on back and all you need to do is to disconnect some main multicore wire (in which all of the wires are bundled), turn the cases to their wheels, close the covers and push them to the truck.
Same goes for random stuff, and there would be designated cases for designated workstations etc. Also everything needs to be ready to be coordinately uninstalled.
With correct size cases you can use the space in the truck really efficiently too.
I've been using ZFS on Linux also a while on my Ubuntu based backup/media box. No problems so far, and the average transfer rate of a 100 GB disk image has been 50 MB/s from internal drive A to internal drive B (non RAIDed, Asus E35M1-I DELUXE Mini ITX with 8GB of mem and 2*Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATAIII 64MB,). The CPU usage hits maximum while transferring, and ZFS also uses most of the RAM quite efficiently.
...should continue working to implement the position of the United States on Internet governance that clearly articulates the consistent and unequivocal policy of the United States to promote a global Internet free from government control...
It must be the opposite because that's how it says in the resolution.
A lot of people use a mobile network already too, or share one via their handset. I'd think that one reason why Apple is removing the ethernet connector is to further integrate (their) static and mobile computing. Being connected by a wire is to be seen as old, but you still have the possibility to do that if you wish. It's just one step further than before (and you'd have to pay for it).
True. China has been on an ultra-capitalistic path since the 80s. China is the prime example of a corporative and capitalistic state. China is being led like a corporation and the leadership is unified with the vision of prosperity. The party members are the richest people of the country.
You know what's absurd? It's common place to call industrialised farming "conventional". Spraying crops with tons of pesticides that produce "edible" goods.
Large portion of crops goes for fodder. Big reason why the industrialized farming exists is the oversized cattle population. By eating less meat and adjusting your energy need to what you actually consume there'd be less pressure to produce and more space available for crops. It would be interesting to compare organic and "conventional" side by side when all of the unsustainable elements have been ruled out from the equation.
I hope this treatment becomes soon available to the millions of children and would-be mothers infected with HIV. HIV and other STDs can't really be eradicated however. At most we'll probably end up having better protection against them and their prevalence can be lowered below epidemic levels. We still have to practice safe sex and eradicate ignorance.
True, scientific representations just by themselves are not really comforting.
Why are people afraid of vaccinations? Where does the fear come from? It boils down to trusting an unknown party to do something with an unknown substance to your child. The actual effect is mostly invisible - there are no instant positive effects that can clearly be seen - superficially nothing changes. If you side with the science of the unknown party you are effectively positioned against the family.
The key could be to make your child as the center point rather than fighting against your significant other and to show actual effects of various diseases that have been eradicated because of vaccines. You have the common ground: your child, of which you are not fighting. Healthy child is your common objective.
It could also be useful to say something about vaccine industry and what wrong they have done over the years to further connect with your partners fears, because still the people are healthier because of the vaccinations and a lot of diseases have been greatly diminished. Vaccinations in the developing countries have for example been hugely powerful and saved millions of children, so why couldn't they work in an industrialized country?
Researchers have estimated that the 9/11 attacks generated nearly 2,200 additional road traffic deaths in the United States through mid-2003 from a relative increase in driving and reduction in flying resulting from fear of additional terrorist attacks and associated reductions in the convenience of flying.

Too bad the epidemic is getting global. Last time I went for a domestic flight in Finland I had to hand over my shampoo bottle. The official seemed to be so exhilarated that he forgot to check my boarding documents. It's tragicomic how much they have invested in the high tech machines but use rented (cheap), random and often disgruntled (there's been many strikes in the past) workforce on the actual field handling the actual material coming in and out of the planes.
I guess the problem is that Microsoft owns Skype and they also have their own mobile OS, which is heavily promoted by a handset manufacturer: Nokia. If they integrate Skype to the OS they can create their own network independent from the mobile carriers. For example one would not need to have separate phone plan at all at home with a wifi enabled router. Losing text messaging and voice calls is not what the carriers want. Sure one can have a similar setup now, but in this case it's carriers/ISPs vs. mobile industry.

There's no "frame rate of the universe" because events are not synced. Besides Planck length and time are not the physical limits of the universe.

The root of the problem is that some geek somewhere in the midst of time created the first automated information organizer AKA computer.
It's funny how their engineering skills are being ridiculed while they are being accused of building nuclear weapons.
There wouldn't be if each signal is given a unique code or pattern.

Is premium enough? I thought premium+ superseded it ages ago and that the current top status is hyper-double-elite.

Instagram's 30 million users cost Facebook about 30$/head. I'm sure they are worth more than that.
Everything is all right. He talked about testing the waters of women. He must be some sort of a scientist who keeps our mothers safe.
Causality is not an inherent property except in the minds of the observers. The whole universe shares the current moment.
Perhaps the most important question is that what are we doing with the particles/waves/quantum states that we've got in our disposal.
I mean I'm able to run a perfect simulation by crunching it with my 4 core CPU: the crunching of a CPU with an object modeled from metal and wood.

I'm 90% certain this 3000 front companies figure is going to appear in a ton of places now. But where the hell does it come from?

The number has been the same for the last 13 years it seems.
Maybe they tap into local groundwater streams. It's recommended that one cooks and microwaves water before use.
Wouldn't the obvious solution be to create ships which absorb incoming energy and re-use it for their own use?
