Yeah, but we're already storing it, anyway. I might be nuts but from what I've seen if we were to take 10 or 15 square miles of land - totally insignificant when you look at the size of our country - and decide that it was going to be a nasty radioactive place but that we would work to keep it contained and do whatever we need there - seems like we could do it. But nobody wants that "in their back yard".

Huh? Of course it is, we've been doing template based deployments of 2012 since May of 2013. In fact it's easier than 2003/2008 because you don't have to install the sysprep stuff on the vcenter server, it's built into the OS so it doesn't need to be injected.

What ever are you talking about? We use template based deployments of 2012/R2 on vsphere 5.0U3, it was supported starting with 5.0U1. Windows 10 should work as well since Windows 8 is supported and I know I've seen people doing Windows 10 using 8 as the deployment type on 5.5.

If you're going to pay Oracle for support you're going to want to go with OracleVM which is their Xen based product, it's terrible but better than trying to make vbox run at scale.

"That's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death!"

Their meaning is "I don't know the meaning of the word decimate".

When I read about this stuff my only conclusion is that we're wasting a bunch of energy and should be looking at ways to harvest it.

That's odd, that page says the E-4B flies as backup to the VC-25, I thought they used the second VC-25 as the shadow (perhaps if the second one is being worked on they use the E-4B, could be why the order for the VC-25 replacements is 3 instead of 2 airframes?)

Korean Air isn't going to scrap their 10 747-8's.

Plus it's probably easier to add to the 747 Missle defense and reuse the radiation hardened avionics

Yes to the first, no to the second. The 747-8 uses the 787 avionics suite which is an all digital setup, almost nothing is common between the old 747 and the 7474-8 from that perspective.

The only thing they're regulating is how government money is being handed out to telecom companies. You government is evil people are so odd.

Uh, they changed the standard so that those who are milking on the USF can't continue to give their customers 1990's internet speeds with your money...

You can't stream HD video on 4Mbps, you can't get large patches is a reasonable time with 4Mbps, you can't Skype in HD with 1Mbps of upload, it takes forever to seed a cloud backup with 1Mbps (I put a few hundred GB in Crashplan and it took a month, I have more data than that but I had to pick the important data because my upload was so limited), etc.

You apparently have no left-wing friends on facebook.

This reminds me of a lot of Christian friends who say how great it is that Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sunday and that's so Christian of them and all that. These same people usually point this out while eating in another restaurant on Sunday.
