It is like the land speed record. As soon as you get over a couple hundred miles per hour you might as well fly. So when you get to mach 6 you might as well be in space....

If people want to do more to help the environment then they can use reusable stuff. I know poeple who use paper plates and plasitc forks for EVERYTHING. Bring your own bags to the store instead of getting plastic. There are other methods

I am going to go home tonight and tell my wife she is forbidden from leaving the house all weekend. I will talk to everyone in a week after i recover from the injuries i am bound to sustain from such a comment. Joking aside, it is sad, in

Point taken, I have updated my post with the correct spelling. I am use to typing it that way for the District of Columbia. That is not an excuse, but that is why it is probably misspelled a lot.

Half of a lot of countries would be here to live the american dream. Problem is with open borders and that big of an influx of people the American dream would be watered down. America was built on immigration and the process should be refi

I applaud Colombia for this. I really hope international pressure does its job and gets Venezuela back on track. I understand Russian and China wanting to secure their investments in the country, but the cost is taking its toll. I dont k

I agree, the disdain China has for the US and the Tiawan issues and other factors are causing this administration to do some crazy things (it will probably change in 2 years when elections are held again in the U.S.). I mean we (U.S. citiz

I have a feeling if some production switches to India it might put a damper on Chinas plans. That would slow their growth a lot. I am not going to argue if the Trump tariffs on China are good or bad. But they might force some companies to

This is China's modus operandi, aquire other people's tech and possibly improve. They have a ton of brilliant engineers and great manufacturing, however it seems like creativity is a bit lacking. a few (and i mean very few) examp

I will preface this with saying i dont think stuff like this should happen, however in the DoD we are advised to never take a personal laptops (or phones) to a foreign country, only take a secondary laptop and ensure the hard disk is encryp

I use the sopine cluster modules and a clusterboard for my docker swarm. The sopine modules have a quad core and 2GB of ram and a sd card slot. It is a cheaper way of having a docker swarm (you could run kubernetes, but that is overkill).

I find the poll kind of funny. Of course it is going to be in favor of taxing people who make more that $10 million. Odds are if you polled for 70% tax rate for people over $1 million it would swing the same way. Why?Because it does not

Wasn't some of the "dodgy" information allegedly supplied by Russian backed accounts on Facebook and other platforms. Maybe instead of making the decisions one beer away from a blackout we should do what the Persians did. “If

Unfortunately there is not really one. I always treated jails as VM's. You could create the jails on ZFS and do a send and receive, or use something like Jenkins to build and deploy. However jails are like LXC on Linux, not like dock

Somehow during a system crash (hardware failure) the journal logs were corrupt and could not be read, and application logging was not being forwarded to the syslog facility. Our logs were not send to a logging server at the time, they were

Systemd is a double edged sword. I started using FreeBSD in 1999, and Mandrake Linux in 2000ish. I switched to gentoo when it came out, because i like to tinker and see how things work (like or hate the distro it does make you learn a qui

My LG has LG software preloaded and t-mobile software pre loaded. it just takes up space and would be fine, but it is annoying. One of the LG pieces of software (i thin it is a back up thing) does not work anymore, but still exists. An s

A five point racing harness is more secure. And a roll cage will help in rollovers. Not mandatory either, but would mitigate a lot of harm. There are a lot of other things they can do as well. If you hold peoples hands on stuff they star

I have said this before. Auto manufacturers are not the greatest at security. Jeep was not exactly receptive to fixing its hacked vehicles until it was exposed at blackhat. I agree, someone is going to do something simple like hack whate

Back in the 80's with Sierra Games and Ultima and others, I DID buy the game because someone worked on them. Sid Meyer Christy Marx Richard Garriott Well at least i did anyway. Maybe i am alone in this.

Ever notice a lot of automation and innovations are motivated by laziness. Maybe not laziness in the sense of to lazy to do something, but in the sense of it is so mundane i don't want to do it.

If you are comparing pigs and cows to whaling you are comparing apples and oranges. Pigs and cows and such are farm raised animals for the purpose of slaughter. If you compared it to hunting deer and moose and elephants and lions and whatn

I have a SuperNT, a MiSTer, and a raspberry pi 3 running retroarch. They all work very well and all should be considered great for retro gaming. Here are a few of my thoughts. SuperNT - I love it, i don't have the jailbroken firmware
