For software development your screen(s) needs to horizontally span three pages: One page for docs, one page for your editor, and one page for testing/debugger. You want a vertical resolution to display at least a full page of documentation. If you are going to do all that on a single monitor, then 2560x1600 is common and cheap enough, so I don't see why anyone would settle for the 2560x1080 in TFA. 1080 is insufficient vertical res.

They didn't.

They didn't do this either. The rules of the naming vote were quite clear: the results would be considered, but would be non-binding.

If you don't like the names they chose, then don't use them. You and your friends are free to call the moons anything you like.

It is not pointless. A deployed warhead is more likely to be stolen by Al Queda, more likely to be involved in an accident, more likely to be launched by a rouge commander, and more likely to be used in a first strike. The first strike capability is particularly destabilizing, because our "enemies" then need to keep their own nukes on hair trigger alert, or build enough of them to ride out a first strike and still retaliate.

No way. Just how big do you think these warheads are? In total megatons, America's nuclear arsenal peaked in the 1960s, and has been declining for half a century as accuracy as dramatically improved. You don't need a lot of yield if you can put it through a particular window in the Kremlin. Most ICBMs and SLBMs have warheads of only a few hundred kilotons. Cruise missile warheads are around 10-20KT. That is a Nagasaki, not a Castle Bravo.

The passage you quote applies INSIDE YOUR HOME after a forcible entry. It says so right in the entry. So shooting people for mere trespassing is murder in Georgia, and anywhere else.

When the employees "get together" and take collective action, then that is a union.

Since when are pay cuts illegal?

Your list contains this many entries that allow shooting of trespassers: 0.

What county is that? I know of no jurisdiction anywhere that allows deadly force against non-forcible trespassing. Some jurisdictions allow you to shoot someone that breaks into an occupied residence, but not for just driving past a sign.

If you have good airflow, you can go much higher than that. The critical factor is the temp of the components, not the room temp. Dell will warranty their equipment up to 115F (45C). Google runs some of their datacenters at 80F, and others at up to 95F.

There are some drawbacks to "hot" datacenters. They are less pleasant for humans, and there is less thermal cushion in the event of a cooling system failure. But many datacenters avoid that problem by replacing chillers with 100% outside ambient temp air cooling. That wouldn't work in Las Vegas (high of 115F today), but most places it is viable.

So I can believe Google's peer reviewed and published study of hundreds of thousands of devices, or I can accept your "personal verification". Wow, this is a tough decision.

Eventually. But not as soon as you might think. Modern servers can tolerate heat fairly well, and many data centers waste money on excessive cooling. As long as you are within the temp spec, there is little evidence that you gain reliability by additional cooling. Google has published data on the reliability of hundreds of thousands of disk drives. They found that the reliability was actually better at the high end of the temperature range. This is one reason that Google runs "hot" datacenters today.

If you are claiming that COPPA allows "implied consent", you are flat out wrong. Parental consent must be explicit.

If their disclosure says that, they should be fine.

My view is utterly irrelevant. All that matters is the view of the judge your lawyer is trying to convince that your organization was COPPA compliant after a parent sues you.

Look, this is not complicated. Google for "COPPA checklist", click on the first link, then read it. If you are compliant, fine. If not, fix the issues to get in compliance. That is all.

The summary also says there is a "lack of disclosure in the parental consent process." Just getting parental consent to "use the internet" or "use Google Apps" is not enough. Unless the parents are explicitly giving their consent to the disclosure of identifying information, then this school is breaking the law.

Maybe the OP is being alarmist, and he certainly doesn't appear to be very competent, but the obvious solution is to read the applicable law (which is COPPA), go down the legal checklist, and make sure his school complies.

From the summary.
