Just because I can change my break pads, or replace the vacuum assist for them, doesn't make me a mechanic. I found that article to be insulting to programmers, men, and women. I can't believe I just read an article that said the only reason math and CS are linked is because they are full of men. Really?!?!

You obviously haven't see The Final Cut. Imagine a world where everything we see is recorded all of the time until we die. Just video everything all the time.

We have Crucial/Micron SSD's in RAID 10 configurations. We of course by them in batch. There's nothing like watching 16 of them all go "bad" at the same time, and not having a clue WTF is going on. Fixed via firmware, but glorious hell, it made my heart sink watching every drive just die in a 20 second window. Randomly and repeatedly over a period of a couple weeks. They all work like a charm now...

That -200 +200 is in there because 200 bpm is pretty much a humans maximum heart rate. So this is a test of how long it takes for you to reach your maximum heart rate and then based on age how close the rate is to your predicted rate.

As a coder in illinois who's currently trying to implement/ implemented a PACER like system for 70 of the 102 counties. Cost is really not a problem. Who pays the cost is, and most attorneys at this time are not big fans of tech. We're starting to get some success in the state, but it's slow coming. We have better luck with out of county Attorneys than local ones, since they can't just walk across the street to file something. In the last 5 years, a large number of our courts have started scanning everything, and in the last year or so, we've had a good amount of success at getting them to put all of the documents online. Currently it's only the attorneys of record who can see those documents though due to IL supreme court rules.

Your calendar thing cracks me up though, we implemented and ical feed for all of our courts 10+ years ago. This is per attorney or judge, or police officer btw.
Of the 70 counties where this is available, we have 1 user of it..... out of 74692 attorneys. I keep hoping that the younger generation of attorneys, and their secretaries) coming into office in the last few years will have higher technical expectations than the old farts who are leaving, but only time will tell.

I guess my point is that the tech is there, the courts have put it into place and paid for it, but the attorneys just don't have the desire to use it, much less share the cost.

subtle... and funny..

I think you're dead on with #2, but I doubt anyone will ever say that violent behavior caused video games....

In Florida 23.32% of African Americans were disenfranchised I think it's safe enough to assume that they are a block unto themselves.

DING! Get that man, or woman, a prize! I think "outrage fatigue" is a very important piece of the pie as far as DHS and taking away our privacy goes. The more fatigue the more they can take away.

We're actually moving away from blade servers to standalone servers. You can get so many cores on a chip now that each set of 8 blades can be replaced by 1 2U server. Each server has a number of raided 2.5" drives that we use with glusterfs for redundancy between servers which we then re-export over Fiber channel so that we can get rid of our dedicated FC arrays, yet continue to use the FC infrastructure we have in place.

I have fiber in my house as well; not Google, but got an opportunity and took it. It's a new house and we ran cat 5e everywhere. Maybe some day I'll regret not running cat 6, but I doubt it. I just recently put the ends on the cables, and stopped using wireless for everything. It's made a huge difference, and well worth it. It's not uncommon for 5 people to be streaming something different at the same time, and the wireless just couldn't handle it. Depending, you might be able to replace all of you phone lines with ethernet. You can always use an RJ11 in an RJ45 jack and just decide at the patch panel what it's going to be, phone or ethernet. If this isn't a new house, chances are you have a bunch of unused phone jacks just taking up wall space. And depending, you might just be able to pull the ethernet using the old phone line.

good luck

really good to know...

yes.... yes that's it exactly... oh well... was funny in my head...

I can see the benefits of course. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be modular. So this one thing or that one thing can be replaced when something comes along that is better for someone. And why not just have a better way of doing this through /proc/xxx/fd?

Thanks. I've read this before. But not currently switching to RHEL7, so have obviously forgotten everything that isn't relevant to my day to day trials. But thanks again for the reminder.
