It's the National emergency information system.

For when cell goes down (again) or in a scenario where nrad hardened comms become necessary.

Assuming the existience of a nation state this is the least dumb car mandate.

That thing that kills starters and engines at stoplights is the opposite.

Given that you're talking about cars in a conversation about ships, you may want to rethink tossing around words like gibberish. Crawl back under your bridge, troll.

Sorry - out of money to help out Americans.

Congress only funds more important people.

Mashing Ctrl-C like a maniac during the boot cycle would do it.

I also got a TI-99/4A as my first machine. Fun story about "on the path:" Texas Instruments actually made a bunch of those machines in Johnson City, TN. I moved there in the late 90s and got a job working for Siemens, who had bought the industrial automation division of TI a few years prior, which included the Johnson City plant. I had a desk in a lab in a large electronics manufacturing space that was repurposed as a cube farm and was privileged enough to work with some amazing people, a few legit graybeards and a bunch of old school EE types. In passing, one of them gave me a history lesson about the plant and what they had done there in the past.

It turned out that my desk at my first "real" IT job was fifteen feet from where my first computer was made.

Coincidentally, and not as happy a memory, my mother came down to visit me at Christmas that year, and I showed her my office between Christmas and New Years when almost no one was in the office. She took a picture of me at my desk, and that picture hung in her home ever since. She just passed away last December, twenty five years to the day after that picture was taken.

I was as bored as you were in the stores, and used to go to all the display PCs and add "ctty null" to their autoexec.bat files.

You forgot to multiply that 75% by the efficiency of the generator...

So, first: explanation of why coal produces more CO2 when burned than oil or gas. The short version is, "because coal has more carbon in it."

Next, comparison of efficiency of different types of fossil power. The charts you want are on pages 13 and 15. The data is pretty noisy because it's by country generating, but coal and oil are roughly the same efficiency if you remove the outlier datapoints.

The rest of my post is inferences drawn from those two metrics. You're welcome to dispute those inferences instead of dismissing my comment as nonsense. Ass.

You have serial ports? We had to sort the electrons by hand and push them down the wire one at a time!

Are you sure about that?

Oil and coal have roughly the same efficiency for power generation, but coal produces more CO2 per ton than oil. That suggests you could put a generator on the ship to charge the batteries (burning bunker fuel) and have "lower lifetime emissions" than charging the ship from a coal power plant. Of course, instead of generating electric power with that bunker fuel, you could use it to turn the propeller shafts directly at even higher efficiency, so...

I haven't done the math, but unless the assumptions above are incorrect I would say you'd lose that bet.

Presumably since systemd runs as uid 0 run0 is just some glue code to tell systemd to run a process as uid0.

So on a systemd machine you get to throw out almost the entire sudo codebase which is redundant in that sense and has been a recurring attack vector.

But the bellyaching greybeard retards here will continue to get pwned because they refused to ever learn anything new after their brain got old and now they're hopelessly behind.

It sounds like if you need LDAP etc you just keep using sudo.

It might be "worth it" for a criminal to allow the backups and harvest private data.

Now skulduggerous types will be executing github searches for default bucket names and putting filters in for .bitcoin directories, browser password files, and similar nuggets of gold.

I'm glad I pay for vm's by the data rate available!

It's true that the House of Representatives will not ratify this treaty. It's also true that the House will not ratify any treaties, because it is not part of the ratification process.

Again, you show a shocking lack of understanding about the treaty process. 50 + vice presidential tiebreak doesn't get you there, treaties in the US are ratified by a supermajority vote in the senate--you need 67 in favor (though, I suppose, under the right circumstances you could do it with as few as 35 votes in favor, i.e. if you convinced 49 senators to not show up that day you'd still have a quorum and the constitution specifies "two thirds of those present").

The summary suggests they never claimed it was certified N95. They claimed they used "N95 grade filters" (which was, apparently, true in that the filter material would block 95% of particles). They never claimed the mask itself was "certified" in any way.

I'm sure the droid that wrote the copy was probably using "N95 grade filters" in the exact same way that advertisers use the phrase "military grade encryption" to refer to 56-bit DES--technically true, but meaningless and misleading.

The definition of reasonable person has been revised downwards.

I suspect most people bought these to flip the bird to the worthless mask culture.

At least now we know forever that paper masks don't do a damn thing for viruses and N95's only work a little for trained wearers.

I'm still seeing mask litter in ditches everywhere. Mass hysteria.
