This avionics bay access hatch vulnerability was recently reported on CNN [ironically, prior to the GermanWings disaster]

Nobody, on their death bed ever says ... "I wish I spent more time at the office".

Regret doesn't have an era.

While you are 100% accurate about when "personhood" begins (being Philosophical), we do know that premature babies as young as 24 weeks of gestation have been born, and survived. Would you at least say that was at least one likely boundry of "personhood"?

The problem is, that the Blue State abortion fanatics refuse to establish even a baseline, because they know that once that line is drawn in the sand, it can be argued for movement. They refuse to even define the line in the sand, because they are just as fanatical as the Red State crowd on this issue.

Making it about Red State anti scientific types, when it is much more nuanced than that, is a disservice to the discussion.

Here is my suggestion for "personhood", legal scientific accurate. Personhood starts the moment the fetus (baby) is able to survive outside the womb. We know when that is, because we have proof via example.

Beautifully refuted. Thank you.

You put your newborn in a daycare so you can earn more money? That is one of the most selfish things I have ever heard. How do you get a +5 Insightful is beyond me. You kid needs you more than you need more money. Period.

Speed doesn't matter, Congrestion matters. You can have all the "speed" you need, but if the network is congested it doesn't matter. I could have a 10Gig link, and it wouldn't matter if somewhere between me and the other end, it is congested.

You can have your 80 MBS Cable connection, and be able to pull the full 80, but if you're congested down the line, speed doesn't matter.

Here is a test, set up a BitTorrent of some popular Movie ISO, set it to FULL SPEED to your desktop/laptop. Then setup a console (XBOX) to Netflix, and see how good your Netflix is.Now run your Speedtest while watching a movie, downloading a torrent at the same time. Your "speed" doesn't matter, and your SpeedTest will reflect that you're not getting your 80 MB speed, but that is not accurate, because you are.

No they don't. Not even near to 5%. I have thrown all my Nvidia kit away. It DOES NOT work with Linux in any useful way.

"Nouveau" does not boot to a sane state, and even the command line functionality is worse than a Lear-Sieger ADM3A dumb terminal on a bad day. As for their propriety drivers - they work sometimes, if the wind is blowing the right way, and you are prepared to forgo security updates.

I would not touch Nvidia products with a barge pole.

Disclaimer: The last game I played a game on a PC it was "Colossal Cave". My idea of fun with a PC is trying to win real money by writing PHP that works, not paying money to get pointless high scores. When I say valve, I mean a vacuum tube.

So, you can't stick a 5 pin connector into a six pin hole?

And you have more faith in users than I do.

Looking at the Wikipedia Article and the images for the different pinouts for the M.2 Specification, I have serious concerns about the ability to inadvertently flipping the cards, and inserting them upside down. Take a look at the B vs M configuration, which is exactly a mirror of each other.

UNLESS there is part of the spec that I am not seeing about another notching somewhere, the ability to flip these over and inserting them wrong is going to be a huge issue. And looking at all the examples on the page, I don't see anything to mitigate against inserting these upside down.

Speed rarely matters.

Speedtest and other such metrics often fail because the ISP codes routing to support better than real results.

What really matters is capacity of the whole network. Does the network itself route efficiently for all protocols and destinations. Speed is just one indicator of capacity, but isn't the be all, end all measurement.

At work, I sit on the end of a Gig pipeline out to the internet, Capacity is fine. Speed doesn't indicate what the capacity limit is. As long as you have capacity, speed is not ever going to be issue. The problem is when Capacity is near max, the speed suffers (symptomatically), however it is still possible to have speed tests succeed when capacity is impacted by watching for speed tests and giving network priority to those, while neglecting regular traffic, giving the appearances of speed where capacity is at limit, producing inaccurate results, "my speed is fine, but Netflix is still buffering"

Give me real monitoring tools, and I'll show you where the network problems are, and it is rarely "speed".

Now. That's why I said " in the late 19th and early 20th century."

Back then, they would get frozen in, winter-over stuck in ice, and in the following summer, do the exploration.

well, I don't know wtf you are doing on this thread but last time I looked, as long as you have no point of ignition after take-off, chances are on your side.
