    Do we have to be successfully attacked by people from those countries recently before we take a closer look at who we're admitting from them? We can't look at attempted attacks or attacks on countries outside the US or even what's going on in the countries themselves? Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Syria...

    Hey, I didn't bring Kellyanne Conway into the discussion. You did. As to the temper tantrums. Again, I didn't say you were having a temper tantrum. There are lots of people having temper tantrums though. Actors, celebrities, TV personalities, protestors, etc. Look, I don't really care if...

    I didn't say you specifically attempted name calling. The people whom you apparently share views with get on TV and pretty much immediately embark on name calling and often falling to Godwin's law. The press coverage I've seen or read don't get into specific policy level details. Calling it...

    You seem to be conceding that the video is actually of someone in the Trump administration. You're giving it far too much credence.

    I don't concede the point, but why is executing a temporary suspension or ban to visitors and refugees from 7 countries where people can't really adequately be vetted a problem? (even if Trump was the first president to do so, which he's not) Aside from US citizens, no one has a legal right to...

    Yes, because somehow not putting attempted in front of it totally invalidates the point that the Obama administration suspended the Iraqi refuge program for 6 months in 2011 after two terrorists were let into the US through the refugee program.

    Who attacked you personally? You were challenged on the accuracy of your claims. Okay then, what were you referring to with, "What America has stood for the last 50 years"? So you have a video of some guy, no name, who says racist things. Where did I say that was okay? You're trying to tie...

    Oh, really? The "interviewee appears to be a high ranking official with the Trump admin"? Which high ranking official is this? Surely they have a name right? I'm mean if you're going to make inflammatory claims you checked your facts right? I didn't realize that America has stood for...

    It's a microSDXC card, so it's not on a SATA controller. It was in a USB 3.0 reader. The latter two CDM runs are where the card should be performing. I did several more runs this morning and they were all like the last 2 I posted. :scratch:

    Because I wasn't looking to pay several times as much money. I've done multiple CDM benchmark runs on this card, and I'm not sure what to conclude. Reads are consistent, but writes are not. Some runs were slow, some were as expected. Here are 4 CDM runs in order. The first was the slowest...

    I must have really bad luck with uSDXC cards. I get a 128GB EVO+ Samsung today and it passes the fakeflashtest check, but its write speeds are highly erratic. A 406MB copy of data: A fair portion of the data copy was under 1MB/sec and it's large FLAC files.

    It's almost 2.5 years later and I still haven't used even half of my block. Too bad I can't do the same thing with my cell phone. Buy a block of minutes up front that don't expire and ditch the monthly bill. Of course Verizon wouldn't make any money from me, but I'd be okay with that.

    NDA Agreement

    It's extremely common in the auto industry between companies. Without a NDA no one will tell you much about what they're doing on either side. I haven't personally had to sign one since they're company to company NDAs and I'm not authorized to sign them on behalf of my employer.

    It finished. Just took longer than I would have expected. I got it imported into VirtualBox. I had to uninstall the VMware tools from the host system and install VirtualBox Guest Additions instead. Overall, from an immediate standpoint I don't see a ton of difference between using Player and...

    I'm trying this process. Exporting it to export a .ovf now. It sure is slow... The VM is on a SSD, a Samsung 850 Pro, and the disk is at 100% disk time, but it's only reading about 25MB/sec. It's not CPU limited either. It must be using very inefficient access patterns. The general rule of...

    You can definitely do that now with Player. Doesn't seem like things I need. However, I guess I'll need to play around with it some before I know what I do or don't need.

    I guess I should have asked what you mean by standard drink? What you get in a bar when you order a beer? Most places I've been to will offer you a 22floz or a 16floz. You can pick which you want. Some high alcohol percentage beers will come in smaller glasses.

    It prompted me to install VMware tools in the virtualized OS. The mouse was basically unusable without them. I let it. So what's the real downside of sticking with Player? What can't it do if I just want to occasionally do something in the virtualized machine?
