What's funny is that GFY in the document is actually defined as "Good for you."

If I want to host my own, I get VMware in my own datacenter. If I want to host in the cloud, I buy storage+compute from AWS. I see no reason to deploy OpenStack at a small to medium sized business. Am I just looking to get myself fired for insisting on a solution that is not VMware?

Presumably they are looking to see the curvature of the earth and the stars set against a black background. If I saw that, I'd feel like I went to space, even if technically I did not.

In that case, the mode of failure isn't particularly relevant, is it.

Considering that a .50 caliber round can be fired into an engine block to disable a vehicle, I can't imagine what type of ruggedization a computer could have to prevent that mode of failure while remaining practical. Sure, you would want the data center walls to be able to withstand such a shot, but the computer itself?

A convent method...I didn't know there were game development nunneries.

If you can shoot the lock or break down the door, then locked doors ceases to be a gameplay mechanic and just becomes another button that you have to click. Allowing the player to shoot the lock would make the game LESS interesting.

I second HRBlock online. It keeps getting better every year. It saves all your old returns, and automatically signs your return with your previous years AGI. It's really very good.

Please explain to me how it is at all counterfeit resistant. The thing that makes the US dollar counterfeit resistant is not so much the technological countermeasures but the fact that the full weight of US law enforcement will rain a shitstorm down on you if you try to replicate it. Without a government behind the physical bitcoins, there is nothing from stopping a well-funded entity from creating coins physically identical to the real thing.

Windows 7 with updates will eat through 16 GB's immediately. Even 32 GB wouldn't last long with a modest amount of files. I can't imagine that even sales people could get by on less than 64 GB.

Right...cause if he gets in trouble, blackmail will surely get him out of it.

Why bother going through all that work when a waitress can just write down the cc number when she swipes your card.

If you're going to make a snarky comment involving logic, you should at least make sure your logic is sound...

Everyone else is picking up your slack.

Yes, but this is a modern desktop, laptop, and possibly tablet OS.
