A launcher anomaly occurred during Flight #VV15 shortly after ignition of the Zefiro 23 second stage, leading to premature end of the mission. Data analyses are in progress to clarify reasons for this failure. An independent inquiry commission will be set up in the coming hours.
Translation: "Something broke and the whole thing went 'boom'. ".
(Or is he really that stupid wrt understanding how IT works, which begs the question of how he got through the recruitment process in the first place?)
I daresay that 90% or more of all users don't understand how IT works. The ones that try to get around things are usually the worst as to having a clue but then they think they "know" what they're doing.
Add to that.. then you have some folks with nothing better to do than write complaints about nit-picky minor things like pirate flags. I admit that lately that flags seem to be a problem for some people of late, especially here in the States with regard t the "Stars and Bars" battle flags.
Hang a piece of cloth on a pole and someone will complain about it, I think.
These days that enclosure has five redundant PSUs, and they're all the high wattage ones, so it should be able to cope with two (fingers crossed).
"Should be" is a pipe dream... a faint hope. If it's not been tested, assume the whole thing will fail. Finding this out the hard way is a bitch. Don't ask how I know.
Just another stupid SJW trying to make a point. It's not like a 5 month old even knows what mom did. As more and more of these kind of folks run amok and get attention, I worry for future on the human race. Even sadder is most of these types seem to end up in politics.
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
You should take this to heart.
Not just the people. The government should. Those running seem to think they're special.
Now if "they" encryption, will all government officials elected and otherwise follow suit? They damn well should, actually they should be the first.
Of course, something different happened when Mary and Joseph were thinking about what to call their baby. Outside in the inn yard a porter dropped an amphora on his foot and swore loudly. "That's a nice name", said Mary, "We'll call him that."
So they decided not to use the middle name? If they had, it would have been "Jesus F**king Christ".
So who will get the rap if somebody's deepnude get posted and said person want to take that to court
It wouldn't be the first time nor would it be the last. Newspapers and scandal rags have been doing it for decades and occasionally lawsuits have been issued*. In the computer age, a bit of photoshop, etc. and it continued. The computer has made it easier and this "app" will make it even easier. Normally, I'm normally not a judgemental person, but this is something was never "right" no matter who did it or for what reason. Now that it's easy for the masses to do it suddenly everyone is up in arms.
*Not often though due to the Streisand Effect.
Nope, not fap-off but budget increase and personnel all in the name of 'we're going to make it better!!" Reality will be bloat, more restrictive rules for those they serve and bunch more federal employees eagerly awaiting their retirement.
I'll give you an upvote for trying though.
Seriously, anyone who takes Google Maps directions without doing some due diligence is already in deep crap. Always flip it over to photo view of the route. And even then, take a deep breath, drive carefully, and make the proper sacrifices to your deity of choice.
Blind faith in tech and tech companies is sheer stupidity or folly, or both.
I'm not certain that is actually "hard data" as such. It's still based on distant observation with some excellent guess work. To be fully "hard data" and factual, we need to collect a sample. But still, it's a great leap and in the scheme of things tells us more about the universe than we ever imagined.
I think a pint in order for the boffins.
One question I'm not seeing answered after reading the paper, or maybe I missed it, is "Often there casual racism in social media". Many whites as well as blacks use the "N" word which probably comes from popular culture like using the word "homie". So how much of that is actually racist rants? Two friends (maybe "friends" isn't the right word) who have a fight and call each other a racial term even when not fighting, would that be included as hate speech?
As disclaimer, I'm in a small town on the west coast and the natives basically hate everyone who's not a conservative white. I, like many others here, are transplants.
I see the front page has been redesigned again. I'm not too fond of seeing the first 5 Latest News items with the small artwork running down vertically. Those just end up being less likely to be focused due to the smaller size. Add to the "ground clutter" of another set of "new" at the top, and Dev News and Storage News down the side and then the "Most ReaD" in middle, just hides it more.
Then again, I'm of the "keep it simple" brigade and not some site developer.
