this isnt even the same kind of ssd that's in your pc probably cap based.flash memory based can stay powered off forever and not lose data.
Non-enterprise are in the presention rated to retain data for a year.
This gives me an idea...
Let's hold a hearing on scientifically driven politics, and don't invite the politicians!
Better still, let's just leave out the politicians altogether. Only problem is, then suddenly scientists would become politicians.
"scientifically driven politics"?
No, I don't think such a meeting would have scientists either. It would all be science fiction writers.
Once Bruce Jenner is done transitioning, do you think it would not be considered both insulting and exploitative to make a statue of how he used to look?
If the statue was for something he did before the change, it would be odd if it didn't.
You don't go around aging statues either just because the people they portrait has aged and changed.
What this says is that the originators of the idea (sculptor Davide Dormino and journalist Charles Glass) are more interested in the agenda (and self-promotion) than in the people behind the story. You don't honor someone by actively disrespecting who they are, insulting them and putting the lie to the greater truth. Hopefully, since the stated purpose is to encourage ordinary citizens to speak out, hopefully others will also call out these two (and everyone who backs this misrepresentation of Ms. Manning).
And before anyone starts with the "we don't have the data to make a representation of her as a woman" argument, if you can't do it right, then maybe you shouldn't be doing it at all. Ditto for the "artistic integrity" argument - artistic integrity my arse!
Portraying her as she last appeared in public and as she looked when she did the leaks is now somehow insulting?
Republicans hate big government, except when it comes to a) building big machines designed to kill people, and b) firing rockets into space.
Republicans have been the primary Congressional force running interference for the old space industry, either by throwing money at the likes of ATK to build rockets that will never fly, or actively blocking SpaceX from competing with the established players on contracts.
More specifically they hate big government the same way worship love freedom of individuals. They like to talk about it, but their policies are the opposite.
The problem with that is *something* is *always* offensive to someone.
Except that pornography is offensive to about 50% of the human race.
If you think that, you really need to start meeting actually women instead of fantazing about them.
The idea is kind of outdated though. It comes from a time when people were promoted to management instead of like today, taking special useless degrees to become what they are.
I didn't do it. I swear.
Right, so, unchecked corporate power takes the place of government regulation.
At least with the government we hold elections. I think there are good reasons Libertarianism has never been fully implemented anywhere.
It has been "implemented" allright, or rather it has existed, it is usually the result of a state falling to pieces and being taken over by local warlords.
Those students sounds like perfect management material. Don't fail them, but them on fast-track to vice presidents of fortune 500 companies! They will fit the job perfectly.
I would say two, but could live with one, but only if it isn't also the power connector, if it is, then there should be three, but if I really have to I could live with 2. One shared with power would just be retarded.
The systemd suite provides features such as faster boot times
I haven't seen any sign of that anywhere and I saw the opposite on a eeepc by about half a minute when I put a newer distro with systemd on it. Is there any proof or are the faster boot times just on the wish list?
It has been significantly faster for me. Anyway the reason is that it can run multiple scripts at the same time which sysv couln't (though upstart did something similar).
And you also likely boot from an SSD, right?
I can boot "soon to be ancient" Windoze 7 on an old Core2 Duo HP laptop in 2GB of RAM to the login GUI in less than 10 seconds from a SSD. Fast enough I would say for a bloated operating system like Windoze.
No, I was mostly refering to my old laptop which has an old spinning disk, and boot time went from a minute to under a half. On my workstation with an SSD, it went from 10 seconds, to well, i guess 2 or 3, practically instantanious.

regular citizens and paupers were pretty much the same.
No. A citizen was lower upper class.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
