Amazingly no. free open seat means 1 thing 200 to 250 lbs of cargo. they want cargo not live complaining rush cargo that can sell for $ 10.00 a kilo.

dammit you're an AC. I wanted to know more about what you just said.

Microsoft's numbers include Office 365 and other service revenue, not just straight Azure services. Where are you getting the $1.57 billion number for Google?

Anon stated: "I eventually gave up and started a new AWS account which is now billing me $30/month for a Windows Server 2008 "Workspaces" instance I NEVER use." I assumed he setup the Workspace since he said he never used it, instead of saying he never set one up.

In my four years of using AWS, attending Amazon events, webinars and participating in cloud computing forums, I have never seen a billing issue that was not caused by the user or a user sharing the account.

The only billing issue I have ever seen Amazon cause was two years ago when their billing process sometimes skipped a day and so the second day included the previous day's usage. That ruffled a few feathers and was attributed to a maintenance window being mis-scheduled on their end or something.

I am, however, incredibly pissed at them for losing my email addresses in one of their big data breaches. I get tons of spam now on several of the AWS account email addresses starting literally the week after the breach.

OpenMPI is a messaging system designed for massive cluster supercomputers on private high-speed networks, why would you think running a test would be cheap using cloud resources which already have a significant premium?

And it sounds like you need to spend some time looking through the AWS console. If something shows up on your bill in AWS, it is running somewhere and you most certainly set it up. The entire process is completely automated so the only human error is your own.

I help run six AWS accounts, ranging in monthly expenses of $400 to over $12,000, and never had a billing issue. In fact, on that bigger account we were leery of the costs as well so we setup an auditing system to keep an eye on transfer costs and S3 usage on the servers themselves. The numbers our auditing system provided matched what Amazon was telling us down to the tenth of a cent. Many transactions differ by a tenth of a cent because I imagine our auditing system was tracking at a faster pace and Amazon rounded up somewhere in the difference.

We do not use their Workspaces service but I am pretty sure the moment you create a Workspace, there is a box sitting there running for you at all times so it doesn't matter if you use it or not. The service is meant for people who work remotely constantly. If you want to be billed only when you are using a box, you can setup an EC2 instance and only turn it on when you need to use it.

I think there are even apps for desktop or smartphones that can do that for you (turn the EC2 instance on when you want to connect).

The majority of the pan handlers aren't even homeless, they're just lazy, incompetent con-artists.

And for that reason I relate more to the Marine and Runaway's sentiments, because there are tons of people working and resources going to helping veterans. So much so, there is literally no reason for a veteran to be pan handling or homeless.

If this Marine did find out the pan handler was a real Marine, I guarantee you he would have got the guy in touch with agencies to help them.

Because that's what it means to be a part of a fraternity like that. If enough care, stuff gets done and people get helped.

Cancer survivors shouldn't let someone abuse their accomplishments either. Shaming this woman and showing others is the best way to make sure other people don't try the same thing to get ahead.

How funny this would be if it was true. sad also but I would laugh for the last 5 minutes or so.

Well funny that I was thinking along the similar way...
like if a Dyson bubble that just went overload

or maybe local region of gas ignited

and what we are seeing is something like a flash over event that can happen in a regular fire.

amazing what we find all the time in space.

Um, producing trades that you do not intend to act on to manipulate prices is literally fraud and illegal. This will never be legal, nor should ever be legal.

The laws aren't written specifically for the stock market, this is a general principal upheld by any type of market.

>> A law that says "you can't make money from this" doesn't mean "anyone can copy your stuff for free".

very different yet related questions ...

A) first big question is the legal rights of the estate, is it subject to the laws enacted against the Nazi by an Allied court ... that's a huge hurtle

B) does the estate have the rights to sell, trade, barter, gift and contract. not always do they have all 5.

C) the estate seems to have the right to have a copyright of the material ... that leads to only " ownership and reproduction and distribution "

What I think they want is a gift which would be 'contract without profit'
Barter would be contract of equal exchange in the future
trade would be contract of equal exchange now
sell means dispose with monetary asset received ( liquid cash )

>>Are we being civil to each-other on the internet? Since when has that been allowed? Particularly on Slashdot.

look at the discussion on this thread ( our little section )
being civil is the top form of discussion.
and everyone is working at the top of their game

I've learned more in this little chat than the rest of the threads

sorry, that's a fallacy.
Under siege might not be a good word

but here are some examples of what I am trying to present

bananas ( we have no bananas today ) long modern history of food shortages

Potatoes, real good example of improper management lead to the Irish famine, blamed on the virus ( which is a factor ) but the restrictions of import / export from Ireland lead to it.

Corn as a stable product ... biodiesel changed all that
production history variations and the market did respond well to it.
http://www.card.iastate.edu/io...

Rice as a stable product ... subject to weather issue, one good flood can wipe out %'s of the worlds production
storms and percentage of damage http://environmentalresearchwe... ( I think it might be a tainted new source, but I feel the idea of damage of crops is presented properly )
panic and rumors caused http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2...

No, using the Great Lakes was not suggested. More like setting up reservoirs along Mississippi tributary flood plains, giving the river breathing room for flooding and holding onto the fresh water to be used on land instead of letting it slip into the sea. The water would not be cheap, so I do not see this as enabling bad behavior at all and by no means will the water from the Midwest made it across the Rocky's to California. I suspect most of the water would go to Prairie states and Texas (or hell, help the Great Lakes eventually too).

But I take real offense to the protectionist tone that you and others responding to me have taken on. Should Pennsylvania start deciding on the temperature in people's homes in Michigan because they supply the natural gas? Should Texas tell Iowa they can't use their fertilizer or gas products without their approval? That's not how things should work nor how they do work. We all chip in to supply need and protect a common living standard. To force others into squalor because you don't want to sell them your resource (at fair cost), is not just immoral but unethical as well.

Honestly, this is suppose to be a UNITED STATES. You already take advantage of a massive amount of resources and labor from other states to survive (this goes for any state), why the hell do you think you can take such a position is beyond me.

All you selfish twits need to pull your heads out of your asses and look at the life you live. You are not independent, you need the rest of us and some of those people need the water to give you what you want.

You forgot to take 1 issue into your factoring ... food security. a country that goes under siege will starve unless they food security.

I think if we ( as a civilization ) get to that point which we see in the tv show star trek, then your conclusion is much more valid.

No, you can't. People assert this constantly by stating evolutionary pressure propagates drug resistant bacteria but that is by far not the leading cause.

Bacteria are more like a city of people and less like a field of crops. When a new type of bacteria joins a location, it tries to talk to all of the bacteria around it (even outside it's species) using chemical triggers or even electrical pulses. When one type of bacteria is having troubles, either by not getting what it needs to survive or being attacked by anti-biotic or virus, they send out stress signals. Sometimes other bacteria in the area receive these signals and start taking action even though they do not need to do anything. This in turn leads to chaos, either from bacteria starting to produce a barrage of chemical defenses (setting off more defenses of other bacteria), trying to split to create new cells, throwing all their resources into unnecessary processes, etc., that starts to severely limit resources at the location for all of the bacteria.

During this chaos, the rate of mutation is likely to drastically increase, characteristics between bacteria are more likely to be shared and bacteria will try to create defenses to random items it finds during the period. This means that bacteria not directly affected by the anti-biotic can develop the RNA or DNA to combat or avoid the anti-biotic, and then share it with those who are affected.

And this also means that the primary culprit of the spread of drug-resistant bacteria is not the actual use of anti-biotic, but the sheer fact that bacteria is being shared between people.
