the only issue I had with carbonite was that they didn't do external drives when I looked at them 3 years ago, if this has changed, then maybe I'll re-evaluate

works fairly well, covers the offsite portion of the a 3-2-1 backup plan . Slow doing restores (over 1TB) but reliable. the Free version allows you to brew your own, or sign up and use their servers

It's a poor way to store energy the same way nuclear power is a very expensive way to boil water. Fusion is our best bet, our science isn't there yet. Hydrogen can replace hydrocarbons, eliminating reliance on fossil fuels in the near term long before we master cold fusion, matter/anti-matter or (insert random scifi power source) to replace it. If goal is permanent cheap power? it's a not yet result. To remove our dependence and trashing of the environment as well as producing clean water as a side effect? hydrogen is the way to go, for now

wasn't interested in the Apple Watch last year, still am not interested, and I'm their demographic. I own many apple products and have disposable income. I just have no interest in ANY watch, let alone one that bugs the hell out of me because I told it to do so.

Much like some people can't eat cilantro because to them it tastes like soap, I can't drink coffee, the bitterness just ruins it for me, no matter how I doctor it, it tastes like the most vile brew in the universe. So no coffee, no caffeine because of dietary choices and intolerance to fizzy drinks.

This is a new trend, not educating fetuses, but allowing parents to register their kids for the school as soon as the parents know the kid is coming. This has been happening in several "private" schools for years. It's to reserve a spot in a competitive school. This is the same nonsense that Manhattan pre schools use now in advertisements where they say XX% of our students go on to Ivy League or something similarly silly. More fuel for the hype train. 700 kids? drop in the bucket, want to do real good? Put the schools like this is one of the states where education is a complete failure and give the parents an honest opportunity to get a good education for their kids. Palo Alto spends over 14K per student per year.... put this somewhere where they spend 2K per student per year

and I was coming here to post the same joke, good job!

Suse has supported linux on Z-Series for quite some time https://www.suse.com/products/...

It took that long? this means this bozo had a loaded gun next to him (around his kids) and was able to pick it up , sight it in , and discharge his firearm (around his kids) rather quickly. Do not fly news helicopters anywhere near this dude. cue: dueling banjos

I actually prefer the circles model, I can post adult things without my parents and children seeing, geeky stuff that the Mrs doesn't want to see, etc. The granular audience works better for me. The communities tend to be fairly stable and spam free

There are some days I really hate living here. This is a morals tale like Short Circuit. Ih I had known the bot was here I would have driven it around for few days and maybe have turned it over to my ingress brethren to get it on it's way... farking arse holes....

http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... Pulp Administrator, With apologies to QT and SLJ Do you read assembly language, Brad? There's a few lines of Code I've got memorized EBIDIC 9D5: "The path of the Network Administrator is beset upon all sides by the inequities of the ignorant hacker and the tyranny of jackass users. Blessed is he who, in the name of file retention and network security, shepherds the newbie through the darkness of the Internet. For he is truly his users administrator and the finder of lost files. And I will strike down upon keys with great vengance and furious deletion those who would attempt to poison and destroy my network. And you will know I am root when I lay my lockout upon thee." I been typin' that shit for years. And if you read it, it meant your ass. I never really gave much thought about what it meant 'till just now. I just thought it was just some cold-blooded shit to IM to user before I locked his ass out of the network. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin', it could mean you're the jackass user. And I'm the Administrator. And Mr. PalmPilot here, he's the shepherd protecting my Administrator account in the darkness of the Internet. Or it could be, you're the Administrator, and I'm the shepherd, and it's the Internet that's an ignorant jackass. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is... (he levels the PalmPilot and speaks deliberately) You're the weak And I am the tyranny of jackass users. But I'm tryin' Brad, I'm tryin' real hard, to be a shepherd.

the cattling of economy class, the security theater, the inconvenience of the current airport experience has gotten me to the point that if a destination is less than 10 hrs by car, I'll drive rather than fly. Between the delays of getting to the airports 90 to 120 minutes prior to the flight, the inevitable delays, it just makes more sense to drive it rather than fly for me

Suse used Mono in SLED 9-11 from several things, but specifically Novell's ifolder implementation. With SLED 12, mono is no longer available. Considering that Suse/Novell used to employ the most of the mono team. but no longer, it may be obvious that this is a dead end
