No offense, but he kept his remark short and sweet. He didn't go into some serious diatribe about how religion is tearing down society or more. Because of that, I give him a pass. I would have probably worked the system a bit more explaining the evils and blah blah blah, I am bored and think I will go get a cookie.

Usually a bank that doesn't screw their customers properly is one that fails. Screwing customers is how banks manage to stay afloat. Occasionally banks fail when they don't screw their customers enough. Think of each bank as a species which needs to screw a certain amount to maintain the species. If they don't do enough screwing, the species will thin out and probably go extinct.

When you have lots of cash at your disposal, lobbyists on your payroll, and congressmen in your pocket, all things are legally possible. Even if you used an automated tool. We should use this man as our rallying cry to attack Koch Industries again. Also educate people on how to create civil disobedience and not get caught.

I have a W520 at home. It is a beast of a machine for being right at 2 years old. I am up to 24 GB of RAM, looking to go to 32 as well as having 500 GB HDD with 256 Micro SATA SSD. My options include a 960 GB SSDs as well as swapping out the Optical drive for another disk drive and a battery slice for extended battery life. Being a quad core i7 with a nVidia graphics card in an optimus configuration I wasn't have any problem with going all day at a conference and not needing to plug in, but still had enough power to run VMWorkstation and spin up as many virtuals as needed. I snagged a weaker display, but the device is phenomenal and my primary workhorse.

150 GB here. I still enjoy it. Sure foobar is cool, but I still enjoy breaking out Milkdrop and just letting the collection run.

This is passing feel good legislation so that a politician can go back to his district or state and brag about how the did something, regardless of how ineffectual what they did is. Most weapons bans are just that. Restrictions on people who follow the rules. They only work as deterrent for those who weren't really motivated to cause trouble. Based on some of the current attitudes of the government, I think we are in line for some civil disobedience. So any legislation that would prevent this inspires me to take up arms. Not to be paranoid, but if they keep up these attitudes, a revolution of the people will be under way in no time.

Last I checked, Sarah Palin is still roaming the Earth, so they didn't do that good of a job.

To me cloud isn't that fluffy thing in the sky. It's more like a cloud in some body of water. You know, the one you don't swim near, because that's some fish's attempt to propagate a new species.

He put some of the people responsible for the 2008 banking crisis in charge of the places were they can continue to loot the economy. He managed to put a troll in charge of Homeland Security He managed to put the company that paid 0 in taxes and took more tax credits in charge of economic development. I am certain that if he weren't chasing down the heads of terrorist groups with drones, he would probably put them in charge of the CIA. Do we have anyone charged with being a peeping tom to put in charge of the NSA, because the current guys just aren't creepy enough. I vote KY_Anonymous for being the head of the Cybercrimes division. While we are at it, let's get Bernie Madoff and get him somewhere important for heading up the SEC.

That's what I get for using Fox News as a source.

They might be catching on to my sabotage to their facility. Nothing to see here, move along. Not short circuiting anything. It's not like if you supply 480V to a hard drive directly and you won't have any problems. Also, is it just me or does one hundred thousand feet of data center space seem pretty small to hold 5 zettabytes in data storage. I tried to build the same out of BackBlaze storage pods and came up with 180TB of space in a 4U pod, with 1.8PB per rack, that would still take a lot more than they are showing. I suppose they could be building into the ground, but wouldn't that show up on their calculations for square feet?

No, it isn't, but the first satellites and people launched into space by the US were on top of modified ICBMs. While we front that our space exploration programs and our military programs are completely separate, there is a lot of cross pollination between the two.

THIS and then some. Notes can run on Windows/Linux/AIX/iSeries. Currently we are migrating to Windows from IBM iSeries, but only because we are beginning to build more on the iSeries and need the performance. Lotus Domino can take a back seat in that regard and runs just fine on the Windows platform.

I want to know this myself. My company built some notes applications back about 15 years ago. They still use them and don't show any sign of ditching them. Newer applications are showing up as web based apps but still use a lot of the Lotus Domino design parameters. I think corporate office even uses Notes for their purchase orders. They built in the approvals and tied them to the User IDs. Brilliant if you ask me, but the work that went into design would probably cause a lot of chaos if they should ever decide to move away from Domino.

Ran Notes for 13 years. I don't know why anyone wants to run anything else. The biggest problem with Domino is that it's under utilized.
