Yes, it has to be fresh. Sea water is at sea level, which does not do any good for generating power. This is a good thing. Sea water kills plants and animals when it displaces fresh water Sea water is also much harder on equipment due to corrosion. Trying to build a contained sea water storage unit would cost a stupid amount of money due to lack of land, depth of water off the coast, and soil/rock types.
Flordia, moderate amounts of sun, lots of water, no mountains.
West Texas, Nevada, Arizona, mountains in places, maybe water in other places, maybe not.
I think his point still stands, the key is having all of them close together.
In crypto you don't have prove back doors exist, you show the algo is not fit for purpose. The NIST standards were not fit for purpose.
The division that accepted the $10m was only grossing around $30m at the time.
> they just want to run XP forever because it works fine as a program launcher for Outlook 2003 and IE6, and screw the world if their machines get pwned for a botnet.
Yes, these are the people that are going to create security problems for everyone else. Oh, you want to disable old SSL/TLS versions because they are now somewhat hackable, sorry, the dinosaurs can't get their email any longer.
> So how old do you think the drivers are going to be for a dentist's X-ray machine?
That depends on who made it. I recently was able to get a firmware update for a digital x-ray scanner that only ran on XP, it now runs fine on 7. At the time the machine was seven years old.
Chances are you could hire someone to write a new serial driver interface for the device pretty affordably, I guess it depends on how badly the driver was originally written.
The only problem I have with people like you (and not you specifically) is you think your measures are very smart, until you have a targeted attack occur and all your measures fall apart quickly.
All 3 need dealt with. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
I'd say you're partially incorrect. Commercial vehicles fall under different DOT regulations then cars. DPS isn't going to pull over your car and pull out weights and measures.
I'd say your correct. A hacker only has to find a crack. Microsoft, on the other hand, has to make a working commercially successful operating system with a large amount of backwards compatibility.
Depends on the size of the network.
ROUTE ADD 192.168.0.0/16 MASK 255.255.0.0 GW 192.168.0.1
on that machine would give you access to your local subnets via your router (of course you have to put in the proper subnets).
>We upgraded our DSL router to the new whizzybang UVerse DSL router
That thing is a steaming peace of shit.
>at least the networking was rational.
Christ, you have no idea what you are talking about.
>2. It's a lot slower and a massive memory hog
Slower, no. Massive memory hog, Yes if you use the 64 bit edition, which is true for EVERY 64 bit OS, not just Windows.
3. Interfaces. Could be very easily turned off, what are you bitching about?
4. UAC. That could be very easily turned off, what are you bitching about?
TRIM/SSD support
ASLR
TLS1.1/1.2
Memory support over 3GB (64-bit versions)
Pretty much any security at all.
I could go on, the problem is, from what you've wrote, you are incompetent admin. I run hundreds of linux and windows VMs on Xenserver and the only time I reboot them is for security updates. If your Windows VMs need rebooted more often that sounds like a problem with the admin, not the operating system.
>- Faster: I think they are exactly the same "speed", however you wish to measure.
What you think and what benchmarks and usability shows, especially with a few apps using a lot of memory show are completely different things.
>I do have a license for SolidWorks 2011 32 bit, which just won't run under Windows 7 64 bit.
And you didn't call their support? Because that should surely work.
>- Easier to use: WinXP is easier to use than Windows 7.
"Citation needed". As a support tech Windows 7 is much easier to manage these days.
No, it sounds like your boss(company) was an idiot for not signing a contract saying that their next version WILL support the next version of Windows. They didn't really expect it to last forever?
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
