Re: Strange PDF ...
A secondary payload to infect your visual cortex, dear. The fact that you noticed it is bad prognosis...
Snowcrash soon.

And everyone not of the sheeple knows that Belgium doesn't actually exist!
Oh, no, Trevor, you're mad! The cloud doesn't need backups! The cloud doesn't need DR to another cloud or locally! The cloud provides! The cloud is immeasurably cheaper! The cloud, the cloud, the cloud!
I can't remember anyone vaingloriously hyping cloudy services to such an extend in the forum?
This is not the marketing department after all.
Moon: "Gerty"
And those Gynoids from Ghost in the Shell.
And the military Boomers from Bubblegum Crisis.
Plus all those insectoid robots maintaining the Matrix. These were great (plus the fact they were probably agents who didn't get a job inside the Matrix because of a lack of human-oriented soft skills)
Spacko, is that you?
I would think that IT people of the non-managerial sort are naturally attracted to miracles of miniaturization and energy-efficiency. Possible exception for people who have the bubble-fuelled jobs in "financial software" (principally, drawing beautiful interactive graphs based on pseudo-science and mumbo-jumbo, should actually be in the domain of artistry), of course.

I see where you want to go with this article but I still take issue with that kind of statement. Even the rose-colored and scented WHO stats are above this number. Good thing is, one gets a natural park with open-air experiment in genetic changes of unforseen size in the middle of Europe.
But minimax is only valid in the situation of two adversaries (no cooperation implies pessimism) and perfect information for both players (the game matrix is on the table).
And even then there need not be a stable strategy by both players as the payoffs may differ.
While perusing the LHC timeline of operations, this data point was detected:
The size of the LHC constitutes an exceptional engineering challenge with unique operational issues on account of the amount of energy stored in the magnets and the beams. While operating, the total energy stored in the magnets is 10 GJ (2,400 kilograms of TNT) and the total energy carried by the two beams reaches 724 MJ (173 kilograms of TNT).
This is pretty boss!
At least in the UK, that might well fall foul of Section 3 and/or Section 3A of the Computer Misuse Act (1990)
But if done from Russia you would just get some pornographic moaning about "Russian invasions" from the PM and sophomoric snarkiness on Twitter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all of which can just be relegated to the background noise of Modern Living.
Schools are schools. No moral connotations are assumed. There is, for example, the "School of the Americas" etc.
But for USD 500? MUH HAXX!!
And we should not have hosting contracts more than two years, as the cost [of hosting] is halving every 18 months.
This can be effortlessly spun into "Wise government industrial policy helps create the industry that gives us powerful means of becoming the future technology hub of $WORLD, helps us manage contracts to get maximum value for taxpayer money and also keeps inflation in check so much that there is a danger of deflation which, however is being looked after by the independent Central Bank."
They are "just" particular mixes of particular quarks, in the same family as protons as neutrons.
We want to enumerate all of these, so it is good to have confirmation that these particular states of three.quark bindings exist (as expected) and to be able to measure their masses and decay modes to complete empirical lists and look for surprises.

In-house stuff fails too, and then you don't get the skills to get it back up again, or worse. You know "database corrupted, where is the backup ZOMG it says 'Monday' on that tape, wait the amount of dust on this shelf says that..... NOOOOOO!"
Clouds mean everyone gets burnt at the same time and the Internet must work and you also better have a local backup just in case.
But in all cases, it's just choose your poison.
So much political grandstanding. Especially from those "Democrats" that used be in charge not so long ago and are now crocodile tearing. Don't believe any of those arseholes.
"WATERED DOWN TO THE POINT OF IRRELEVANCE" or "IT'S ALL BULLSHIT AND SOMA" is the correct description.
Did Ballmer fart in the general direction of the security team and fetchez la vache onto them and is Nadella resurrecting it?
On the other hand, I heard the dudes in security would be folded into marketing or something? Has this order of High Pointyhairedness been belayed?
And you'd be wrong
You, sir, are a clueless bag of vapid hot air and you should start to educate yourself.
as the fact that you can call the president a moron without any fear of any repercussion shows
"Being able to be a clown in public shows that we are free" and other illuminating commentary from the shit-for-brains-producing ideological stuffing.
Be along now.
One is a functioning democracy with rule of law and free speech, the other is a fascist dictatorship without rule of law or free speech.
I will pass and demand my right to call a relative by phone to help me answer this question.
