It astounds me that ios is just now getting features like that.
Every time I use my girlfriend's not-updated iPhone 5 I feel like I'm on gingerbread.

Yes. This.
They've also already lost value (about 10% from when they opened). How is that a good deal?
It's just China trying to sucker punch the economy in the US and leech off more funds.
How indeed, does the SEC allow this.
This is what they say, but what they really want is H1B and similar workers.
The value of a degree has never been less in this country.
Yes, they want (and NEED) people with critical thinking skills and a firm grasp on the fundamentals of science as per their field, but what they're saying they need with their money is something not even close to that mark in any regard... at least in IT/systems/storage/development.
Rsync causes a lot of metadata lookups, which will fill arc metadata in a hurry. If arc max isnt set, you'll oom the box (or crash zol if it is, i think). I'm not sure how to monitor or control it on zol, because zol's memory management is still kernel independent....
Slashdot has been epically, if possibly inadvertently, trolled.
Google hardware for linux and you will find the Ubuntu hsl in moments. Bam, done.
Or, just pick any random board and install. You've got to be looking for incompatibility, outside a small minority of parts.
Won't impact anyone.
10 years? We'll all have long past starved to death. Yellowstone blowing big is a mass extinction event, period, for many species. It's probably safe to say that most large carnivores, globally, wouldn't survive.
Or, chances are (if you're the ONLY sysadmin on staff), other people could stand not working for a while at 8pm once every other week while you do your maintenance at a saner hour. If you're not big enough to have multiple sysadmins and/or multiple tiers of redundancy, chances are you aren't big enough to justify 365/24 uptime. Someone else can not work so you can get work done, to enable them to keep working.
They probably work too much, anyway. No need for that to make you work too much, too.
This is incredible, really: motorcycles are much easier to balance at higher speeds. They made the most difficult part of riding a bike trivial.
I'm curious how much mass they had to add to the bike to make it self-balance like that, and how well it balance with a 200lb rider (driver? I guess it'd be driver, since it's got a cage). And on corners, as well - presumably the gyros/inclinometer or whatever feeds the steering data.
I want one of these without the cage and a gas motor, personally. 50mpg+ for a road trip would not be bad: 200 miles on a run is not good. 200 miles is almost tethered.
Or for in-house networks.
Pretty trivial to just pull the cable when your kit has been compromised and you're facing extortion.
Really?
How many families do you know that congregate in the living room? Families are the minority now.
If we can grow asparagus and potatoes, that means we can grow food for our food!
That said, we kinda need more variety than that, and I'd guess that the specimens in question are somewhat lacking the full range of nutrients they might here.
So you don't think Forest Service land management (or the lack thereof) has anything to do with it? Because the timeframe for increasingly bad fires matches up really nicely with changes in approach to doing so...
Riiiight. So this has absolutely nothing at all to do with progressively worse nonmanagement of national forests over the past 30 years, opting instead to wait for a really big fire to clear burn areas?
Nice dogmatic and unfounded supposition, warmers.
The absurdity of the premise behind "a gun that can't get turned on its owner" is almost beyond the pale.
Why?
Because guns don't generally get turned on their owners. It isn't a common occurrence, not here in the US, or anywhere else. If it was, we'd see a lot more "man shot in home by intruder with own gun" than we do.
It's an urban legend, up there with other silliness told by high schoolers to get their dates to snuggle close.
There is one and only one pragmatic use for limiting who can use a firearm: restriction of effective force into the hands of the "right people". The right people will always be those who have power, and want to keep you from it. Consider that for a moment before embracing so-called 'smart guns': the people pushing these want to restrict firearms to only the military and police.
That's worked out so well for people throughout history already, hasn't it?
What continues to blow my mind is, despite the breaches of civil liberties and outright offenses Obama and his administration have perpetrated against American citizens - and then lied about - we still have people who voted him defending him and saying he's doing a good job.
From a liberal point of view, Obama has been a worse President than Bush, by a long shot: if you look at "what has he accomplished", "what has he lied about" and so on.
And this doesn't even get into the NSA spying and things like that, which he's obviously quite fond of.
Unless, of course, we're trying to imitate a truly socialist state, like Soviet Russia. Then he's been excellent.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
