It really depends on the buffer size, which tends to be brain specific.
I assume you mean this Rick Shaw:

Clearly, the only way we can be sure is to disassemble Bruce Schneier. Glove up.
If you don't think that Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine, then you clearly aren't snorting/freebasing/mainlining them properly.
Funny how the most secure organization in the world let Snowden just walk out the door with everything on a flash drive.
Clueless hypocrite.
From the website:
'The current Demo CD is based on the eComStation 1.2 product and does not reflect the current state of the eComStation 2.0 product."
"the equivalent of studying GLORIOUS EAGLES." get your imagery straight.
I'd be fine if the manufacturers and carriers would just make their bloatware an optional "feature" that users could take or leave. Like AT&T Maps; it's $10/month, the one time I used it was by accident because I confused it for Google Maps.
Every new revision of Android is this large, monolithic package that seems to take years to get right. If Android were more modular, you could have teams working in parallel on various modules, and releasing them as needed. This is what regular Linux does, so I don't see why Android doesn't do more of it. Other than the Google Apps package, everything else seems to be lumped together. (and yes, I know it's more modular behind the scenes, but if it isn't that way for the user, it's a moot point.)
The Turkey Point power plant in Homestead, Florida took the brunt of Hurricane Andrew (a Category 5 storm) and came through unscathed. Hurricanes are not a grave threat to nuclear power plants. The U.S. is also better equipped to provide backup power should the reactor(s) need to be shut down.
As an IT consultant for SMB, I am constantly having to moderate people's expectations for what they can accomplish on their tablet. From attorneys that want to create 50+ page legal documents on their iPad, to professionals who want to do everything that they would do on their desktop machine from anywhere in the world on their Nexus 7. These devices are great for web browsing, ebook reading, and other minor apps. Remote Desktop scenarios? - ok in a pinch, when you don't have your desktop with you, but not as your main device.
Please, if you want to get real work done, put down the tablet and pick up your laptop again.

Well, it's not like they NAG THEMSELVES.
One thing people need to keep in mind is that the larger the building, the more rebar and concrete went into building it. The extra strength required to build a large building has a direct positive effect on the buildings ability to withstand hurricanes. To my knowledge, the only really large building during Hurricane Andrew that suffered damage rendering it unusable was the Burger King Headquarters, a building with full glass walls located directly on the water. Even that building though, suffered primarily cosmetic damage; the core of the structure was fine, and the bulding was refurbished and returned to use. Your typical data center bunker would get through fine.
Now, a slow moving, heavy rainfall hurricane could cause real problems, for Miami-Dade, as the County Data Center was built in a small valley and has real drainage issues...
