Well, in terms of having onboard sata on an itty bitty board, I could go with a cubieboard for $49-$69, depending upon features desired. It is about the size of a beagleboard, and runs an ARM A10.
If I wanted faster for less money, I could go with an Asus fanless series board, and have more configurability.
The only thing I can see this board competing with is Jetway, which already is within this price point.
You do understand that the idea of prepping for a zombie apocalypse is an allegorical exercise, right? The biggest danger during any large scale disaster isn't the disaster itself, but in how masses of people react to it.
And this is why I keep wondering why people say "Stop using Paypal!". It isn't as if they have a choice on which payment options are offered by Indiegogo. If anybody deserves complaints in this regard, it is Indiegogo for continuing to use an abusive payment service.
Have to second the recommendation. I play minecraft with my kid when I am out of town. We either meet on public servers, or have family time on our own world.
Lockheed does a lot more than just aviation design, and it is also fairly typical for government contractors to sub out work to outside companies, especially if the top tier contractor doesn't have the internal expertise or can't pay the expertise enough to join Lockheed.
My SSID is o_0 , for similar reasons...
Admin had built an application server using the basic dimension guidelines set out in the class he had taken. Notably, the issue had nothing to do with the disk whatsoever. This was about five years ago.
RHEL support got onto the system, did a df, saw the disk dimensions and stated to him that the drive layout wasn't in a supportable layout according to their installation specifications. Call back once it is. *click*. No feedback on what would be an acceptable layout, or anything else. Another admin called in, got the same response, plus they said it must be an issue with the hardware vendor. Called a third time, with both admins on the line, and the same response. RHEL simply didn't want to help out, give useful information, or anything else.
Turned out it was an init script error. I could have seen RHEL support punting at that point, but they never even looked that far into it.
The problem I have with RHEL's (and many other vendors' support, SuSE included) is that they do very well when the issue is clearly defined, they can follow a simple call script in a binder, and you never deviate from that. The problem is that our admins never have to call for those issues. How I rate whether support is any good is when the support doesn't come from a binder.
And I wasn't giving SuSE props for having outstanding support. Their saving grace is that you can pay them to say that CentOS is "supported", because some clients require OS vendor support contracts even if you don't use them. RHEL doesn't "support" CentOS, period. I find that a bit of a detractor, considering there is about 1 line of one file in
For the record, I personally haven't called vendor support for a linux issue in over a decade. I've submitted bugs, or additional documentation on bugs, on several occasions but that isn't a support issue. That is me doing their QA work for them, and I won't pay for the privilege of doing that. Prior to that, I'd never gotten a fix for issues I submitted, just an advisement to "wait for the next major release, it might be fixed then". Maybe RHEL has stepped it up in the past couple of years, but I've gone beyond depending up on them or any other Linux OS vendor.
Provided that RedHat will actually support it. We have sent people to the training, set up equipment to the standard *their certified instructors taught* us, and then had support hang up on us because our disk setup wasn't according to RHEL support's standard- which apparently has nothing to do with what you learn in their certified classes. WTF?
Cisco doesn't do this. Even EMC doesn't do this. But RedHat did do this, several times. RedHat support also did a lot of the whole "it must be the hardware vendor" routine. That is why we moved off of RHEL to CentOS- better patch support, more packages, and no bill for support that we haven't been able to use. I haven't run into an issue on CentOS that I couldn't solve or work around with access to their bugtracker. Same can't be said for my experience with RHEL.
If I were to pay for RHEL or CentOS support, I would sooner pay SuSE https://www.suse.com/products/expandedsupport/frequently-asked-questions/#faq21

Personally, I will wait. The phone is only capable of 3G, and my network supports LTE. However, the price is right if that wasn't an issue.
Which might explain the ham handed way in which the State Department and Congress have been handling this issue. At this point, I think that they care more about cowing any other potential whistleblowers than they care about the data that Snowden may or may not have. If Snowden gets killed, or at the very least if his life is made into a miserable hell hole, they can try to prevent future leaks of probably more damaging information. In terms of damaging, I mean more proof that our government and two major parties commitments to Constitution, life, and liberty are a sham.
This was underscored for me in a recent State Department press conference where their spokesperson made it abundantly clear that they don't give two figs for treaties, international law, or US Constitutional due process. They want Snowden- not what he may have, but him personally.
If the US can turn up the heat enough to make him a valuable target for others, then they will do that. The goal clearly is Snowden's punishment and/or death for his impertinence, not the safeguarding of secrets from the other actors out there who may be interested in what Snowden may know.
Spot on. The one time I did well in math in school was because I had a good teacher who could understand my questions and answer them. I know that sounds a bit odd, but the reality is that most math teachers barely understand how to explain what they are trying to teach. There is a huge difference between showing someone how to complete a rote task, versus using a rote task to impart the reasons why the task is important. Most math teachers fall into the former category. That isn't to say that I gave up, but I wasn't going to take more classes in a subject that the teachers themselves had a hard time explaining and didn't know the history thereof.
Well, most other teachers fall into the former category as well, but the difference is that subjects like history and $native_literature are explained using the language most people started with, and any subject specific jargon usually has easily understood linguistic references. Looking up reference material in those subjects involves using the same paradigm.
Math is pretty much its own language, but the jargon used to describe it is specific to the understanding of someone who is already an expert in the field. Even though it is its own language with its own rules, none of these are taught as such- instead, much time is given to rote methods which have already been abandoned in other fields because they are proven to be poor conveyors of knowledge. Moreover the math sub-disciplines are taught in a way so that there is almost no relevance between them: no historical referential progress is given, no reasoning is provided as to *why* they exist, and so the subject becomes very tiresome to anyone needing to apply relevance in order to maintain interest- which would apply to the vast majority of people out there.
This would also be why I own more math books than any other subject- I've found I can learn a lot more through self-instruction and self-discovery than I can from trying to suffer through classroom lectures.
As in, you had to go through a day long gauntlet of interviews asking irrelevant questions to get the gig. Surprise, they didn't get the best candidates that way!
I like TechCrunch's suggestions, as they closely mirror what the Google HR guy is implying, except for one thing:
"Finally, if they’ve gotten this far, give them an audition project. Something relatively bite-sized, self-contained, and off-critical-path, but a real project, one that will actually ship if successful."
It isn't as if I couldn't be fired on the spot in the first 3 to 6 months at any permanent job- there is this thing called being a new hire. If I had someone tell me they were going to provisionally hire me and rate my progress based on a project, fine. If they told me I would be a temp until the work is completed, I would then inform them that they will need to pay me at my contract rate until I am perm- otherwise, they are just getting me at a lower rate for contract work, and that is sketchy behavior at best.
RSS was designed to be directly accessed by readers. I use Vienna, which pulls down the RSS feeds directly to my Mac. I don't see the point of using a middle man, who really is just going to try and find a way of monetizing my "marketing data".
That is the best example of coincidence theorism that I could possibly think of.
There are so many examples of over reach out there, the only reason most people don't see them is because they are so used to them being there. Look up Nick Merrill on YouTube. Look at what is being done to Wikileaks financially at the behest of the US Government.
"Oh, another
Better off with a $200 fanless home micro server running OwnCloud.
Or running an OwnCloud instance on Linode or AWS and encrypting both the endpoint files as well as using SSH keys for transmittal, if you really don't want to be bothered with having something that requires a subpoena to access.
Remember to say hello to your bank teller.
