I fully agree, connections are good. I am not sure I would like Rio though, because Johannesberg is so far into South Africa, almost on the east side. What about Cape Town?

And by the way, what about this idea?
Lisabon Natal Cape Town?

Cape Town Natal is 6331 km according to Google Earth.
Cape Town Rio de Janeiro is 6073 km according to Google Earth.

Yeah, almost 300 km longer, but picking Natal would connect Europe and South Africa, probably meaning more traffic.

Actually the shortest path from the city Natal in Brazil to Lisabon in Portugal goes through both Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, both of which are pretty close to western Africa, so western Africa could get linked up pretty good if Brazil creates this trans-Atlantic connection. And if you pick Gibraltar instead, then the direct line actually crosses Africa several places.

Bullshit. I live in Denmark. I have free healthcare and I can go to the doctor as many times as I want without paying anything. But I can assure you that I only go when I feel sick.

And it is not at all my impression that other people go to the doctor every other day. Sure, there might be some people who are really sick and needs to see the doctor quite often, and even those that think they are sick and goes often, but they do actually have a "disease" called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochondriasis

Every civilized country has free healthcare and free education for its citizens.

No, RUN during your lunch break.

You could also just ditch the chair and stand up in front of the computer.

If you space out the cables like a harp and try to keep 5 cm between the cables, then it is a lot easier to follow them and unplug if needed.

And go see in in person. I have one, and I am fat. 110 kilo naked. I still have had room my laptop bag, my gymbag and some groceries. It is only in the most warm days of summer that I get sweatty when riding to work, probably because I dress lighter than other modes of transportation would. And no, I do not freeze either, the shell protects me from the wind, the cold and the rain. I ride in t-shirt well into October.

Get a job before you move regardless of where you are moving to.

http://www.openrouteservice.org/ gives 5 choices:

• Shortest Track
• Mountainbike
• Racer
• safest track
• prefered cycleway

But I am still missing these, some in sliders and not just on/off.

• no obstacles
• cargo bike/trailer
• velomobile
• many street lights
• no hills
• no (red) lights

What if the man the woman says is the father is not the father?

I would buy SSD, but should I stick to HDD, then Supermicro has some nice 2U boxes with 12x 3,5" or 24x 2,5" and 4U boxes with 36x 3,5" or 72x 2,5" there is therefore plenty of space to satisfy IOPS requirements. These boxes can even be supplied with a dummy power on card and then you can use SAS to plug it into a single server.

I would also prefer picking a shared kernel based (linux-vserver, openVZ, jail(), ... ) virtualization technology over a virtual machine based (Xen, KVM, vmware, ...). Simply to get higher IO speed.

And competent physical box admins delay the boot of some physical boxes to boot in the correct order and to avoid overloading UPSes and fuseboxes. Like booting up the SAN box before the VM box so the VM box can actually read data from the SAN box and does not have to wait.

No, you could also break into RSA and steal the SecurID codes like it was done here: http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/10/12/0051220/rsa-blames-nation-state-for-cyber-attack

yes, people can "copy" a code that is not generated yet if the method of generating the code is known. Like a pseudo random number generator that given the same input always will return the same output.

And XFS is pretty brilliant for taking filesystem snapshots. Using the command xfs_freeze you can make good snapshots of XFS in what appears to have no downtime at all see XFS manpage like http://linux.die.net/man/8/xfs_freeze
And then run these commands:

xfs_freeze -f /mount/point && block_level_snapshot && xfs_freeze -u /mount/point

Last time I checked that did not work with EXT4.
