Things get really interesting when there are intersections of multilane highways. For example, an intersection of two 6-lane (3 each way) highways. With 12 lanes of cars constantly approaching the intersection, that's a lot to keep tra

Fared pretty well through this one. Some minor water damage to the ceiling due to some lost shingles, and most of the privacy fence was toppled. I learned from the last ones and was well prepared this time -- trimmed trees beforehand, had g

As a current Native Floridian that just got a taste of Irma and just got utility power back on today, I got a good chuckle out of this. Of course the death and destruction are nothing to laugh at, though I do often find humor in many other

Thanks for stopping by to comment, I have a good bit of respect for C-level executives that take the time and risk to comment in public forums. Let me color the remainder of my comment by saying that my experience is in the 802.11/Wifi

makes me wonder how much they're really paying attention if they can be hit by a 30,000 ton tanker without anyone so much as sounding an alarm. If that tanker were loaded with explosives and had malicious intent, we'd be missing a

How do you shed 400Mwh of heat in an area that small? I would imagine the surrounding air would take some of the heat, but that's an incredible amount of energy to dissipate in such a small area. Call me skeptical.

some of these miners use many kilowatts of power. Take a look at those power cables, all that energy has to leave as heat.

That's something I was thinking about. This thing has to go down occasionally for patches, service, maintenance. 500TB is alot to trust to a single box or two. I'm building a Ceph cluster right now, about the same size as the one

I think much of the American sentiment is prejudicial -- if you broke the law once, you can't be trusted not to do it again. We love to grab our pitchforks and burn an 'evil-doing criminal' at the stake. It doesn't matte

Agreed. See comment to your sibling post. Sadly even now I run into large software companies that require users to have local admin privileges(and disable UAC) for their software to function correctly. And that's in the finance sector.

I didn't catch the angle in one of the parent posts that everything BUT windows store was allowed, but re-reading the chain I can see that now. Yes, blocking sandboxed and vetted apps but allowing anything else is indeed nonsense. The

One main paramount of security is to reduce your attack surface. One of the first steps to that is to uninstall/remove things that don't belong or that you will not use. An ad-riddled(with ads likely served by a relatively insecur

Just because there isn't a single event to point at and say 'that is the cause' doesn't mean that the damage wasn't done. Auto accidents probably kill a few orders of magnitude more people than a nuclear accident, y

Interesting -- I went in to enable that option and it was already checked. It's been a couple of weeks since I last used Gimp -- maybe it was changed in an update? In any case, thanks!

We use coax, fiber, and twisted pairs to transmit signals for a reason -- the signal stays inside the cable(mostly) and other signals(interference) is kept out of the cable. The line voltage is not the limiting factor. To get gigabit speeds
