so uhh... wouldn't it make more sense to bomb infrastructure rather than shoot at it with a rifle?

Lets say... bomb a dam or something like a bridge?

ohh wait, i bet that's the next scare. Better invest in dam and bridge security companies.

As many others have posted, a UPS will protect the whole computer from data loss in the case of a power outage. what about the data stored in memory without a UPS? Are you going to test that? the idea that a capacitor can store enough temporary power for shutdown is neat but worthless. SSDs were made to replace harddrives. what happens when you unplug power from harddrives in the middle of a write? Why would you want SSDs to be better than harddrives in that function?
What does the failure rate of ocz ssds have anything to do with this crazy test?

Just let them play ET all day long. Pretty soon they'll be great at outdoor sports.

It's probably not a low level employee's fault personally that this happened. However, why the fuck would a low level employee try to even address the issue by telling others how harsh his work is and to be grateful? If you don't see the problem with that, then you are at a loss for even trying to understand why this would inflame people who weren't with their families and had to work as well.
Best course of action would have been to keep his mouth shut and let the company spin dr. explain what happened.

If you're too hot, the overheat cut off circuitry will cut in and turn off.... wait what are we talking about again?

More to the point, we have rovers on mars that draw penises. We own that place. The moon is so 50 years ago. Next stop Uranus.

And each one of those violated their oath of office when they allowed the NSA to spy on all Americans without any oversight.
He's just the last in the line of a long list of cowards who thought they were above the law and made excuses for it. Enough is enough.

I think you're explanation was a bit too wordy.

Basically: When has the US public EVER had a choice on how tax money is spent?
Is the answer never? I'm fairly sure it is. So why is this any different? This is 10B in loss. I can point out any year in the past 50 and show 100B in waste in every single year. That would be a very simple task, considering the waste is probably 10x greater than that on average each year.
Welcome to America.

and my pet rock foiled the zebra invasion for the 20th time this year alone!
Where's the proof of this foiled plot?
How in the world was the US economy going to be taken down by malware?
None of this adds up at all. It's more hand waving and gesturing to see if they can get some buy in from the utterly retarded.

he forgot to say in 1917.

It was solicited, he was asking for it.

Because job training is a thing of the past.

Heapsort?
Ohh you mean HeapSnort.
In case you didn't get the reference, when visualized it really does look like someone snorting illicit drugs. Pretty neat stuff.

Trust nothing. This is just a secret government ploy to lower the supplies for mind control protective headgear.

Sounds good, lets cut subsidies for corn, ethanol and all fossil fuels for starters.

The idea of subsidies is to encourage growth. So why again do fossil fuels need encouragement? They need as much encouragement as people need vehicles over 3 tons (suv's for example). Because that was well thought out.

I have no problem with solar subsidies. It's still an emerging market, costs have gone down because of it and research is still being invested. I have a problem with subsidies being applied to things that don't need encouragement.
