I think given the amount of land I'm going to guess he's referring to the inability to repair john deere and other major brands of tractors. Futher reading here https://yro.slashdot.org/story...

In columbus ohio, there is a it's channel called Quest (10.5) that is replaying old history channel stuff, at the moment "modern marvel's" is on. They do mix in some of the new reality crap(ice road, gold diggers,pawn bros)

Does it really matter the name the we come up with to describe an abstract concept pertaining to a file system? The project could have just as soon changed slave to whatsit and master to widget. Additionally, I don't have any form attachment to any of these terms used, why would anyone? Provided the manual explains the concept of the term used, why does it matter what they choose to call a dependent? I guess someone would have to RTFM, oh the horror!

Very interesting idea but, I can't see them taking the liability of releasing a firmware update for this. Just because the devices share common elements doesn't mean this would device would meet the realibility requirements to run 24/7. At the same time if it this or certain death, i'd take my chances.

Found another story about this indecent. It indicates that "...which the Weeknotes was customized in light of Lecerf's epilepsy, with the gas and brake controls moved to the steering wheel)." from USA today http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/02/14/newser-wild-ride-france-drive/1919139/. The Manual (Found at http://www.globalcars.com.au/site/uploads/Renault_Laguna_ENG.pdf) does indicate that the automated version has an Neutral gear. It also indicates that shifting to neutral and then pressing the ignition should stop the engine. There is also a park for the automatics... I suppose if they moved the gas and brake they may have moved the gear-shift (thought it's not stated). If that was the case and the disability controls were malfunctioning (likely) then your screwed. Of course you could throw the keys out the window From the manual, page 2.5 titled "Starting/STOPPING THE ENGINE (continued)". "If the card is no longer in the passenger compartment when you try to switch the engine off, the message “card absentlong press” appears on the instrument panel: press button 1 for longer than two seconds"

How could you in a cost effective way ever hope to handle "millions of accounts and daily hits" from your home internet connection without paying through the nose? I mean I've heard of fiber connections that are pretty quick but, realistically you need redundancy to run a successful project. What happens when your one vm or your single internet connection goes down? At the very least you are best off shipping your server to a data center for colo and don't forget to backup often :-)

I agree FreeNas FTW. ZFS is the way to go. I have two FreeNas setups in my basement that are out of sight and cooled by the basement air. Both of them have 8x1TB drives in RAIDZ and run great. I have them with a c2d, 2gb ram and 1gb nics. They have no trouble pushing the full 1gb on the NIC and the CPU usage just breaks 15%. The upnp streaming server works great with my xbox360, for the other computers I use samaba or ftp.

An NMAP Scan on qq.com flags it as being Apache HTTPD. From my log: "PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 80/tcp open http Apache httpd |_ HTML title: 302 Found"

I have been a part of a group that pulled off a few public lan parties. We had around 60 to 70 people at each one and never had a single problem with theft. Most of our attendees didn't stray very far from their rigs. We did require that people register in advance or when they arrived so we knew their name and handle. I would recommend you require people to be 18+ or be with someone who is. When they register, have them sign a disclaimer if you are really worried about a law suit.
