I’ve a DEC750 that I’ve bumped to 16GB memory. A 10GbE capable (2.3GbE Wireguard) router that’s silent and idles on par with my cable modem (8W) has been a great piece of equipment I don’t see myself replacing until 2030-2035. I even plug

This affects about 40.5 million borrowers on average to the tune of $390/month. That’s just federal loans, which are 87% of the loans. I can’t imagine this not having some additional economic impact.

Yes. The term James Cameron likes to use regarding catastrophic failures from an implosion is, "meat cloud." Regarding 9 atmospheres, I've not seen the Mythbusters episode, but I'm assuming that was an attempt to recrea

Although states have laws no longer requiring it, some states still allow towns to overrule this by towns passing laws banning self-service before state self-service laws were created. Weymouth, Massachusetts (under 10 miles from Boston ci

I can only imagine what it’s going to be like in a few countries’ intelligence departments as well. Several countries with well-regarded intelligence operations have functionally signaled, “Well, we didn’t expect this !” The rest of the p

Indeed. The increased possibility of a “Broken Arrow”, “Empty Quiver” or other scenario is what’s always going to be really spooky.

I believe James Cameron called it being turned into a, "meat cloud." Absolutely occurred in under 30ms (upper bound). Possibly as quick as 2ms, and in all likelihood well under 10ms.

I’ve been using VMWare exclusively for virtualization for old games, old dev environments, etc. forever. It’ll do what you need just fine. I think I started using VMWare when a story originally hit Slashdot 20+ years ago. I use kvm and x

I do as well, but it wasn't in effect in 2012. I ended up forking out $58,000 (excluding 10 months of my lost wages fighting it) to attorneys to have a $412,000 balance bill for my mom ultimately withdrawn by a hospital.

To be fair, internet adoption rates in the 90s was largely a function of ISP pricing regime changes. I think it was 1995 when WOW!, which was a subsidiary of CompuServe, offered unlimited hours for $15/month. AOL followed shortly ther

One thing you learn about high end performance cars is just the sheer amount of heat they spew at all times. From everywhere. Part of it is they have far more than a single radiator. Once you start crossing $100K USD a fair number of car
