I agree with you though, I think what the president called the attack isn't a scandal at all. It was funny how it was argued about, but it wasn't important or meaningful.

What is meaningful is what he has done about it and what he did on that night. Same goes for his advisors and commanders.

You may find this to be ridiculous....

I have seen more drives in RAID arrays fail than any other type/configuration of drives. I don't know why, but when you put disks into a raid array they seem to be so much more likely to fail. Maybe RAID controllers tend to overwork drives? We always buy the "enterprise" (expensive) drives too...

You want more? I've also seen more power supplies in servers that support redundant power supplies (especially Dell) fail than anything else.

I've got 286 computers with good drives and power supplies that will probably keep working until there's an EMP, but the "enterprise" stuff from today is just awful.

Yeah, he did say terrorism once. And then there were all these other "it was the video" incidents. If he felt it was terrorism, he should have shown it with his actions rather than doing whatever he could to place the blame on a video (the guy went to JAIL after all).

If you can take a cartoon of it:

Black and white laser: Brother 5250DN, includes ethernet interface. Works just fine with mac, windows, and linux. I have printed over 20,000 pages on mine, and I have only needed three toner cartridges. This printer is as simple and plug-and-play as it gets and it works great. You can feed in envelops and such if you need to. And if you cover the optical window on the toner (where it checks the toner level), you can print a lot more on each one. Since this printer accepts generic post script, you can print out of the box with any computer build since 1995 using a generic postscript driver and get most of the functionality if not all. If you want to read the printer status then install the brother drivers, which are very good and work on all modern platforms.

Scanner (and color inkjet): Canon MX870. The scanner is worth the price alone, as it can do bulk scanning, BOTH SIDES ("full duplex"), of a stack of paper. I used this in school all the time to archive my notes and old tests. If you have a nice photo or something, you can use the normal flatbed and get very high resolution -- probably overkill at the highest setting for most cases as the files can be enormous. You can also put in a USB drive or memory card and print off it. To be honest, I think our older Epson was a better photo printer, but this one is not bad at all. The scanner though, it's just as good as it gets for the price. The full duplex scanning is very very useful, I think for a business it would be invaluable to be able to just put in a stack of bills or sheet music or what have you and hit "scan" and get a PDF out of it. Lastly, this printer has wifi and ethernet built-in, and yes, you can use the scanner over the network, although I think most people will find this isn't as useful as it sounds.

No kidding. Look at how the affordable care act has exceptions for congress and the White House.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

I have a feeling you are comparing analog cassette tapes with DAW performance. Well of course, 3.5 IPS cassette tapes suck, nobody is debating that.

But a 30 IPS properly aligned Studer multitrack will have frequency response up through 80Khz and dynamic range greater than what can realistically be achieved on most DAWs.

There are merits to the old way. Wow and flutter and hiss are consumer perceptions based on inferior formats like the cassette tape and vinyl records.

Having said that, on a sub-$250k budget, many DAWs rival cheap all-analog setups.

Just give the two weeks notice. There is nothing to loose, and it is professional to do so.

In my case, I gave a one month notice. The boss asked me to focus on documenting my work, which I did. It was actually one of the greatest months out of all my time at that company.

When you announce your departure, write a very logical and very true letter. Don't be afraid to say something like "I think my boss lacks the skill to delegate authority" or "the office kitchen is infested with mold". So long as you are truthful and logical, it can never be held against you, and it may even serve to prove your character as unwaveringly logical.

Just tell it how it is. If they give you a cardboard box and an hour to pack up, don't sweat it, they will almost certainly be paying for your next two weeks either way.

Leaving without notice is:
1) unprofessional
2) costs your (ex) company a lot of money and time trying to figure out what to do
3) of course looks bad if anyone ever finds out from another company (but they most likely wouldn't)
4) is unethical (even if your ex company was unethical towards you, it is not justification)
5) you might get sued because they can claim you purposefully left things in a state of chaos and then cut the cord without notice, costing the company millions of dollars, downtime, etc
6) burns your bridges with the ex company. Who cares, sure, but why do it?

My guess is the reason you are considering this is that you do not have a definite day in mind to leave, but as soon as you find another job you wish to just cut it off entirely that day. Don't do this, it will also look unprofessional to your next employer if they notice that you are all-too-eager to 'move on'.

Forgive me, but what part of a printed circuit board is metal-free? The edge? Certainly not 99.9% of it.

"The researchers processed the nonmetallic fraction of waste circuit boards into a powder and found that it adsorbed metals like copper, lead, and zinc"

I'm not going to read the article (I am a slashdot user after all), but where in the world of electronic waste do you find PCBs without any metal? That would mean they don't have any traces or solder joints... unlikely to say the least.

But even so, let's say MS office is still the "standard" in 2014.

Is MS Office so different from the Open Office variants that one would be lost in it after being trained in OO?

Of course not. Learning MS Office 97 and then going to Office 2000 is enough to alienate even the most trained MS Office user. Open Office is not that different, and what is more important, is to learn the *language* of desktop publishing. A simple google search or even perhaps the help menu, can answer a lot of questions if you just know what to ask.

I would argue that OO provides an acceptably complete desktop publishing experience. If you need to learn MS Office later, you'll catch on pretty quick. And again, whatever version they have when you get that first job that requires desktop publishing, it will be different than what you learned on, MS or Open or otherwise.

Let's review, the servers the company had on-side got damaged, so they expedited their plans to move to off-site servers.

Oh, and the off-site server is called a "cloud" service in this article.

What's new? What am I missing here?

Will that work with different nvidia cards? Ie, one 4500 and one 5000?

I think I tried this and it did not, but I can't remember the details of everything I attempted.

I can relate to this.

Granted, I have seen it work just fine with different cards.

But with nvidia, I have two different cards and, yep, can't move a window from one screen to another.
