Love PHP. The list of successful php deployments is huge.

I want to plug my brain into Hector!

OK. Being without electircal power is one thing.
Having to rebuild a lot of tele-comm infrastructure is another.
All the damage aside......

What would the effect of a storm nearing the Carrington size to to nuclear power stations?

Are Nuke plants shielded from EMP?

I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

What we HAVE to do is get off carbon based fuels.
Biofuels, after production, processing, delivery and all that is worse than natural gas.
Oil based fuels, we all know their problems.
Solar is OK but not exactly ready for prime time.
Wind is not bad but who really wants a generator in their back yard.
Fission sucks. TMI Chernobyl, Japan....... Crap happens

We need to have a Man on the Moon moment or a Manhattan project dedicated to fusion.
Solar is a sub-category of fission as our sun is the BIG fission reactor.

Propose we divert 1/10 of the big oil company's profits ( Just the profits) to a massive fusion project.
That would be to the tune of $100,000,000.00. or so. Give or take.
We NEED clean Fusion, The first ones to create fusion will own the world's energy plain and simple.

It should all balance out in the end.

You have to ask your self, "If I were a member of anonymous, would it be worth potential prosecution, exposure, fines, and/or imprisonment to out HBGary?"

Pick and choose your battles. As a older man with a family, it would take a pretty lofty goal to take that kind of risk of that battle.

In my younger, brasher days when I had fewer people relying on me, perhaps this would have been worth the risk.

Was I good enough then to pull it off and not get caught? Pull it off? perhaps. Not get caught? Perhaps not.

You make your choices, You take your chances. If the goal is righteous enough then it is worth the punishment if caught.

And if caught, there is always the chance that the jury will be lenient on a hero? (Not likely)

The biggest problem, of course, is interpretation.
Just exactly who decides if what is said is "Bad Mouthing?"
The extreme examples are real easy.....

"This place sucks and every one is corrupt" = fired.

OK Free Speech not withstanding.
We all know that there are supervisors who would interpret

"Like Today Totally sucked at work"

as "This place sucks!" and start disciplinary procedures.
It only gets more vague from there.

I hate the "Slippery Slope" fallacy. I do see valuable employee
fired because the supervisor wants to fine SOMETHING that
they can use to exercise their power.

Always Remember: If Cass Elliott gave Karen Carpenter half of her sandwich, both would be alive today.

Ok, Maybe I missed something (not unusual) but is not the question about cooked space (file system i.e. ext2, fat, ntfs.....so on and so forth) versus raw space (many databases write their own proprietary format)? Oracle does it, so do other open source databases I believe. Or did my train for thought derail?
