Comment Re:Good job. (Score 1) 43

kidding me right ? 45 years after the start of fukushima's plant, 3 years after a major disaster, the local clowns can't factor in the meteo to get their evac plan right... YES A DRILL IS TO IDENTIFY PROBLEMS... NOT 45 YEARS AFTER THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE.

Dear god, I feel like Jane Goodall among those chimps...

Comment ITT idiots who are not sysadmins (Score 1) 305

I'm a sysadmin with a background in security.

I don't want over the air firmware updates for my car. Scratch that, I don't want to drive a car with OTA updates. Actually, I don't want to be ANYWHERE near any car with OTA updates.

I update complex software for a living. Trust me, you don't want your car, any car to do that.

Comment That's typical HP behaviour (Score 1) 385

They do the same shit for server remote admin cards. The hardware's in there, but you can't use it until you shell out the $. Premium plus deluxe HP resellers often have a tendency to forget about those, and you find out the hard way when you have to troubleshoot a server on a saturday and nobody's available with the god damn license key.

Comment Dells does crap too, SuperMicro is where it's at (Score 1) 385

SuperMicro doesn't have platinum support contracts, but for the price difference, you can buy a lot of spares in case shit breaks down. Plus they don't charge you an arm for disk trays: if you buy a server with room for 24 host swap disks, you get 24 empty disk trays you can fill with whatever you want!

Additionally they have the cleanest remote management interface. No annoying pop ups, no artificial browser requirements, no frames, no mandatory Java applets.

Okay, I know you're trying to be funny, but let's be serious for a moment: Why shouldn't the EPA try to limit lawsuits? They cost you and me, the taxpayer, a lot of money. It slows down the entire judicial process, and increases the cost of excercising your rights in the judiciary.

yeah, fuck people after all... it cost muney and stuff...

Comment Re:Newer tech yes, Smaller reactors no (Score 2) 218

Actually, if you were to check on the matter...

The quake already disabled the plants, the tsunami just gave the final blow.

AND NO, NO AND NO.

THE QUAKE AT THE SITE OF THE PLANT WAS NOT BIGGER THAN WHAT THE PLANT WHAT SUPPOSEDLY BUILD TO SUSTAIN.

The quake was a 9 something at sea, but much much lower at the coast of Japan.
