The closest thing you have to a structured reality check on this situation is a court of law. The judgment reflects the opinion of the jury, and typically the judge, on the truth of the matter. These people have been engaged to determine that using the best and most fair methods available. None of the press have been so engaged. Since this has now survived a court of appeals, we can safely say, to the degree it is possible to say, that Terry Childs is GUILTY.

Yeah. If an employee of mine "refused to hand over the password" to a system for which I had fiscal responsibility, I suspect he'd be terminated so fast not even security would let him empty out his cube.

Your root the devices, which takes a competent networking person (these devices were networking devices), albeit it's disruptive if the network isn't designed just right.

If you need to run Windows Server VM's, and a lot of them, you actually have to buy the Windows Server Data Center edition, no matter your choice of hypervisors. So you may as well use Data Center edition and Hyper-V, is what Microsoft is saying.

6gbit = 6,000,000,000 / 4,000 = 1.5M 4K IOPS.

Do you presently have a 1.5M IOPS SSD? I think you do not.

Bandwidth isn't everything, friend.

>No, it is not. It is a *part* of TS. Not "above.

It requires special accreditation procedures to carry SCI data and a simple TS network accreditation cannot do it. Above simple SCI, there is additional accreditation required for SAP/SAR. So I think you are mistaken, although it could all just be semantics if you wish. The fact of the matter is you can have a TS-only clearance, a TS/SCI clearance with the standard compartments, TS/SCI with special compartments requiring poly, and TS/SCI with special requirements requiring a full-scope lifestyle poly. Each of these is harder to get, and it is "fair" to think of them as above one another, because they have increasingly stringent access requirements.

> If your idea of "having an online presence" is tweeting and having a Facebook page, I would not hire you.

It remains to be demonstrated that you are anything resembling a good employer. A sweeping generalization for all "technical jobs" like this leaves this very much in doubt, I'm afraid.

>I'm sure AMD fanboys will....

*perk*

There are still AMD fanboys? Where? ;-P

Perfectly legal in what jurisdiction? American jurisdiction does not apply to foreign citizens on foreign soil at all. Not even for murder, to make things clear. Now if his home country decides that's a crime, that's fine.

Julian Assange is not a traitor. The Rosenbergs were. You cannot be a declared an open citizen of another country and be a "traitor" to another. What he did was not even a crime, and the notion of extradition is dubious.

> By the way, if you don't see something inherently wrong with allowing a private company to print money with the government's snookered approval, you should.

Oh, there's plenty wrong with it, however what's worse is allowing a government to print its own money based on the political whimsy of the current issue de jure. Politicians absolutely don't have any restraint. The Fed does.

...of which around 160 were children...

FA-18's deployed from aircraft carriers with live pilots, alas, do this too.

Which is not to trivialize the matter. Rather, what I'm trying to say here is that this is part of the tragedy of warfare, and one of the reasons a nation really, really needs to think very, very hard about being militarily involved against anyone else. If you do, it had better be for a very fucking good reason, as innocent men, women and children are absolutely certain to die.

This would have been an amusing time to file a $100 claim against them in small claims court. There's nothing quite like forcing them to employ their $400/hr legal retainer in order to get some attention.

I don't think it's just a calculus. It's humilating to be caught, and makes you angry. The combination of humiliation and anger at the same time leads you to want to lash out, but you're not going to further your humiliation further by confessing it, so all that's left to do is lash out, yes? Anyway, the one think I personally try to avoid succumbing to is the temptation to accuse anyone so lashing out of anything other than what they say. One reason for this is that if someone is hurt, and falsely accused of also doing something bad, you'll just be throwing fire on their already hurt self. So I usually don't remark at all, or express sympathy (no matter what I think).

My major criticism of btrfs is the horrid sync performance. Hosting virtual machines tends to require lots of small writes to disk that make btrfs incredibly non-performant.

ZFS has similar problems, FYI. If you run VM's on it, you have two choices. Buy SSD's for the ZIL, or disable the ZIL.
