Less than 1\3 of spacex launches are us gov launches. They can now exist without them. However, NASA is speading up spacex's programs. And since these are saving America billions, it makes sense to continue.

I work on servers with systemd as the init system. Yes, it's quite possible to run a server with it. It does things that in fact make much more sense for a desktop. It's not terrible, but it's moving away from the simplicity and modularity we've come to expect.

The west is about to head into massive automation. If Europe and America grant total amnesty to all illegals, it will come to bite these nations in the butt with large amounts of un-educated and un-employable individuals.
What is really needed is for an amnesty path for a small group of the illegals (basically, those that were raised here). The rest need to go back to their homes.

And split into 3 vertically parallel companies. Then push these companies for new ideas and innovations. Seriously, for this to work, we need to restore competition which requires multiple companies. Likewise, we to do a COTS approach with them. One item in desperate need is new networking equipment that was not manufactured in China.

The real problem is the idea of combining humans and cargo. They really need to be on separate flights. The shuttle should never have happened. Likewise, orion on the SLS with mission cargo will be a disaster in the making.

Don't look now, but Moto just released one of the best Android phones ever, is about to release the Droid Turbo, and is the manufacturer of the Nexus 6.

The distributions should be wary of putting all their eggs in the freedesktop.org basket. Not all systems are desktops, and they shouldn't rely on desktop features at the expense of their own roles.

It's bolt action. It's fairly accurate. It's available in .308 Winchester which means it should fire 7.62 NATO fine. IT's also available in .338 Lapua if that's preferred. It's under $1600 at single unit prices. The .338 has a box magazine.

The Ruger 700 is under $900 in .308 and it can take a suppressor, muzzle brake, or flash hider on its threaded muzzle.

The Tikka T3 CTR cost about $1000. It has a glass fiber-reinforced copolymer stock, a 10-round box magazine, an integrated picatinny rail, and a threaded muzzle.

My choice would probably be the Tikka CTR which in volume pricing should be more than affordable.

You underestimate how difficult it is to keep the Coke fluid in those climes. ;-)

Some reasons for RPGs and MUDs being banned are that traditional MUDs are server systems rather than web apps, RPGs for the web tend to be heavy applications, they tend to be heavily trafficked, they tend to be poorly written and become security issues, the gamers tend to complain to the hosting company when things go wrong, they tend to get very spammy in their chat systems, and they tend to turn into command and control systems for malware if the people running them aren't careful and skilled. If you want to do something like an RPG, a dedicated server is really more appropriate than shared hosting.

As for parody, any decent US ISP understands the DMCA and copyright law. The DMCA forces them to forward the complaint and to take things down after a certain amount of time if there's no response. Parody protects you in the courts. The DMCA makes pre-court demands of the hosting provider. They can lose their immunity from copyright suits if they don't cooperate lawfully. Just be prepared to challenge takedown notices.

Other than a conforming DMCA takedown notice, any decent hosting provider shouldn't care as long as you're not a DDoS target and the content is lawful.

You seem to be more concerned about defamation than DMCA. HostGator for one won't do anything about defamation claims until there's a court order. They'll shut your account down if you are a frequently repeated DDoS target on a shared server, though. They'll do what the law says they have to do when the DMCA is involved, though.

I work for a Chinese company. So should I just think of these hackers as automatic cloud storage?

I was re-asking questions asked in the articles.

Seriously, this town should approach Google or WOW and push to have one of them come in.

Honestly I think the edited summary flows better, but some of the information has been removed. The original is here, which you can also find by following the links through the user's username link and then clicking on "submissions" on the top left.
