Hosting Git is dirt cheap. Converting from ${old_terrible_system} to Git is the painful one-time expense. Here's how you do it:
1. Fire up a suitably bit AWS cloud server.
2. Copy your repo to it.
3. Run the command to convert your old repo to Git.
4. Download the new Git repo.
5. Shut down the instance.
You don't buy expensive, power-hungry software that's going to cost an arm and a leg to store, power, and cool for the next year when you only need its brute force for a few hours. The Cloud isn't a magical cure-all, but it's a perfect fit for things like this.
Yo dawg, I heard you like CVS so I put your pharmacy's dyslexic tabular data in version control.
...or something like that.
It's very specific, in many sections, that the neutrality rules apply only to "lawful content".
Right, net neutrality requires you not to discriminate against lawful content. If it is silent on the issue of unlawful content, that would mean you have the option of discriminating against it. It does not mean you're somehow "required" to discriminate against it. You're conflating net neutrality's actual requirement with its inverse.
So... how do you distinguish between what is "lawful" or not?
You assume everything is lawful and don't discriminate against anything. Easy-peasy. Half the point of being a "common carrier" is that you're not liable for the unlawful content you transmit (specifically in recognition of the fact that figuring out what would be lawful or not is a pain in the ass).
Now, either you knew this or you should have known it before posting; yet you misrepresented it anyway. Therefore: STFU, troll!
Problem: maximize profitability selling ice at a hippy poser wannabe festival. The constraints are:
1) Users must be at least minimally satisfied. No shouting, cursing, "line rage", or riots. The user must get a reasonable product with an acceptable wait time at an acceptable cost. The process should seem fair.
2) Costs must be minimized these include:
a) cost of labor, this is probably the biggest cost
b) materials cost, waste from melting ice must be minimized
c) transportation and storage costs. No constant shuttling to and from the supplier who may be 100 KM away. Some transportation costs may actually amount to labor costs,e.g. the cost of a driver.
3) regulatory compliance cost mostly health and sanitation.
4) Losses due to theft must be minimal. This sort of implies cash on hand must be minimal. Higher sales may require banks drops for security reasons.
Let's begin...
Nice one!. It would work out great for me I can wander up and down the line taking money and then just disappear into the crowd. A win-win for me-me!
You must be one of those vegetarian hippies
And good faith in regards to the 'turbo' line. It would be a great idea for line jumping. Fan some cash out but the one is actually a 10 ten argue with the person who then caves in and lets you into the the front of the hour long line. A win-win for you-you!
To make it more realistic we can produce the ice using raw sewage. Now THAT is a problem....
Perhaps they still need the chips for a while until they can migrate their hardware to other chips?
Except they just divested themselves of the division that does hardware based on other chips. Basically they sold to GF and probably required that GF would continue fabricate POWER for some time before renegotiating in a more traditional fashion. Maybe they are hoping that nVidia or some other companies will start designing serviceable POWER architecture chips and then they can sit back, and be like ARM without actually commissioning any actual chips and also sell servers based on the platform (or Tyan starts pushing out boxes they can slap an IBM logo on and skip designing servers either)
I think it's unlikely to go the way they are hoping for, but then again I never would have guessed Intel would have been able to get significantly into the Android ecosystem, so strange things can happen.
I think you missed my point: the universe of possibilities for voting "against Republicans" encompasses more than just Democrats.
well the blurb just says soda so it has to be the carbonization.
I mean, otherwise it would surely say high sugar content drinks.. right??? right????????
