But if we are talking about the arctic then we are talking about WEATHER and not CLIMATE.
As has been said over and over, local weather is not proof of climate change or the lack of climate change.

>>If it lives in The Cloud, then you don't own it, no matter how much you paid for it.
4 servers $3500
7 x 3tb Drives $650
1 x 21Tb Storage cloud
1 x IaaS cloud
My stuff lives in the cloud, and I own it. I own both the cloud it is in and the data I put there. lol
>And no answer on the most important part: Why a hotfix is required in the first place. Why did they, yet again, manage to get into a situation where Azure is FUBAR.
Its no big deal. They only guarantee a 99% uptime so they have still met there SLAs
This is why businesses required a 99.99% or better uptime.

If I had mod points I would mod you up! It is so true.
Boss: We are moving the desktops into the cloud and everyone will get "Smart Terms" for their desk!
Me: We tried that, it was called a mainframe. The high cost of doing it that way is one of the reasons we moved to distributed systems and desk top computers.
Boss: No this is different, mainframes used green dumb terminals, these are smart terminals!
So it would be better to strap it to a lithium ion battery as a built in trickle charger?
When you are not using your phone, aka asleep, it charges it self. Sound good to me lol
The earth cannot sustain infinite human growth.
Well, it looks like you will not be one of the "best and brightest" that gets to reproduce. You are thinking too small, the earth cannot sustain infinite human growth but the fucking universe can.
Hell, disassemble the earth and use the raw materials to make large habitats orbiting the sun. Just the material in the earth is enough to make and support 100,000 x the existing population or we could get to the point where we have a Ecumenopolis first. We are nowhere near that level!
We could continue to expand after disassembling the earth and move on to the other planets. There is lots of raw material and hydrocarbons in the solar system. Add Star lifting to the mix and we are set.
I have an Apple IIe with an applecat modem.
Now Im showing my age. lol
On the other hand animals which people see as "cute" could damage the brand if seen associated. So no it isn't about SJW or whatever , it is most probably in this case solely about not putting advertiser in a bind.
Right, it is not like there would be say sporting goods suppliers as advertisers, or knife manufacturers, the NRA, Gun Sellers, sellers of meat processing items, etc, etc.
Put them in orbit of the sun and beam the energy back with a laser or microwave beam. Sure we may fry a few birds but it is 24 hour energy.
> I firmly believe that if your job can be defined sufficiently clearly, then a special-purpose AI can be built to do your job better and cheaper.
Well then I am safe.
Boss: Just fix it
AI: It is a 20 year old computer that died I can not get parts for it and have been asking for an upgrade for 15 years. How do you suggest I fix it?
Boss: I dont know, that is your job. Just make it work.
AI: What is my budget?
Boss: $0.00 We can't afford to spend anything on it.
AI: **CRASH REPORT** DIVIDE BY 0 ERROR! **CRASH REPORT**
> However with an organization like Microsoft, there are SLAs
Has anyone actually asked them what the SLA's are? I did in a meeting with the rep, I simply asked what the guaranteed uptime was on the O365 service. Considering it would be taking over all business functions from email to document storage.
The answer was "We guarantee a 99% uptime" My next question was "99 point what? 99.9%, 99.99%, 99.999%?" Nope just a 99% uptime. IT management ignored me when I suggested that 99% was way to low and signed the agreement anyway.
Back many years ago a local store used to rent software. You could come in and rent just about anything from a set of OS disks to MS word or the latest game. If you liked the title you could keep renting it or just pay the cost of the title.
They also bought the software that they rented/sold.
They were sued for copyright infringement and put out of business. Fast forward 25 years and the court is going the other way.
Children and guns are a bad idea. Your average firearm is too unwieldy for a typical child to operate in a safe and effective manner.
Children are much better suited to crew served weapons. The simi-stationary mortar or heavy machine gun relies less on physical strength and builds teamwork.
Fact: He lied on his form 4473 for the gun purchase. Specifically to question 11f, which is illegal and makes that an illegal gun purchase.
Laws do not prevent crime, laws simply punish those who commit an act that violates sed law.
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
