You have to really want BSD on your computer for it to stay there, so it's in no danger of suffering from Linux's fate. Linux started out similarly, but slowly got dumbed down to the point where any corporation could get away with using it as a cheap (as in beer) alternative. I'm not trying to offer a lame excuse for BSD, but BSD will recover from this in short order. Linux will never regain its roots as a nuts and bolts OS and it will never shed its Communist roots of forced misappropriation of copyright. Linux, quite honestly, is badly aged wine that has turned to vinegar.
Wrong. If you are poor and starving it is because you are stupid and lazy. Greed usually results in being rich and fat while having a serf mentality tends to make you Chinese. There are nuances to the rule, like Africa, Greece, and pretty much any country that is too close to the equator. Then of course, there is the great equalizer - Liberalism, which allows for stupid, starving, lazy people to sieze wealth from others. So, it's all good.
Turbo buttons are for desktops. Looks like that nasty frequency wall is hitting us a little sooner than we planned. The marketing folks have taken to advertising turbo speeds on their processors and the average guy doesn't realize that half your cores are shutting down and your non ecc memory is getting amnesia. It seems like a lot of trouble to make the 8 cuda cores in my 8300 GS execute NOP faster than is necessary. But then again, parallel programming is hard and AMD needs a break. Sounds like a job for Systemd.
Fail safe designs [should not] depend on things not failing. Unfortunately, that is very expensive. Instead we make laws and rules to follow when our "absolutely will fail" designs do.
"Fuck if I know, I just use really old versions of things like SSL and bash, 'cause you never know when some prima donna is gonna come along and screw up everything he thinks he knows" If he doesn't get the joke, then I just focus on the fact that if he doesn't find 3 guys by Friday, there is going to be hell to pay.
Once it was decided to break the versioning scheme with 3.0 it became less relevant.
2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 all had a lot of distinguishable features. The fact that the focus has shifted to marketing version numbers instead of content sums it up. It looks like the Linux kernel has reached the "good enough" stage, so this is to be expected. What was unexpected was to allow the whole distribution thing to get out of control and allow shit like heartbleed and systemd to ever see the light of day. FreeBSD should catch up enough to be usable over the next couple of years and system admins can go back to work installing OS's on machines to achieve a specific purpose. Until then, we'll just have to work around whatever the evangelists think we need. In which case, Windows 10 becomes relevant again - not because it is better, but because it is more mature and has learned that screwing with things like the start button is even worse than binary logs.
FreeBSD is best. Now honestly, I've been using pretty much any O/S within arms reach since CP/M. I'm all right with religious wars too, provided both sides agree not to inflict collateral damage on uncaring innocents. One thing I avoid is websites who ask for my credit card information while insisting this information will not be used. Also I avoid watching Lester Holt as a surrogate for Brian Williams. If I want to get bullshitted by NBC, I want the best. Personally, I think this is a bridge too far dreamed up by the republicans so they can hold Hillary to a higher standard for her sniper fire fantasy. In any case, anything that shifts the discussion away from "distraction tactics" like global warming, homosexuality, or abortion is a good thing. Because in this country, we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights. Because, you see, if you are hell bent on getting rid of unaleinable rights, you must get rid of the creator.
Slashdot deals is at least as valuable to me as Amazon and e-bay. In fact it has a few added benefits of only display things of relative geekiness that might interest me, rather than Amazon who tend to display every related item i might have ever clicked on in the last 5 years. Also Slashdot deals will show you prices that guarantee you can buy the same item somewhere else for 20% less. Neither do i disable advertising. Flooding the internet with my inane preference tracking cookies to be stored and backed up on hundreds of servers is the surest way to overwhelm the probabilistic failure rate of raid 6 and force manufactures back to offering 5 year warranties standard. - C'mon people, help keep Slashdot free - Clickit!
I suppose that once you allow scientists to stand trial for their inability to predict earthquakes, the slippery slope logic kicks in. It seems witches have legal status as do witch hunts. Since this occurred in Canaduh, can we conclude that no animals were harmed in the fictional display of logic?
The real breakthrough in the design was removing the requirement to hit the ANY key to continue. Also took a while for the lawyers to agree about the "Are you sure?"
Well, it got me for sure. I even thought of a few outrageous arguments to fuel the flames. But I gotta go eat dinner and this whole thing really on the lame side. So maybe I'll move on to something else.
True, but Evangelicals, like Roman Catholics do believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God, was sacrificed, and rose from the dead. So, using obscure, unknowable minor points to discredit the major tenets of faith becomes rather comical to watch over and over again. So, I say a "religious worldview" is kind of self defeating to begin with. Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks, but it's better than drowning in an ocean of statistical data.
Learning to accept the things you will not change because of laziness and stupidity is an important lesson that the previous generation has passed on. Leadership by example at its finest.
Unfortunately their teachers never have any experience other than spending their entire lives in liberal school, so don't expect the grinder to produce anything but chop meat. Seriously, programmers need to learn math.
Just because you spent hundreds of billions on rickety architecture doesn't mean we have to use it.
To paraphrase Richard Nixon - "My DNS server entries mean whatever I choose them to mean" in fact, the whole.gov and.mil arena can be routed to goat.se in minutes and there is nothing you can do to stop it. In other words, the internet exists by the consent of the governed. It's our internet, and we'll do as we please.
A good disaster recovery plan gives executives something to discuss with the managers while the techs execute the drill. Of course the nonsense mentioned in the summary was written by an exec. Write yours first and you will avoid a lot of pain. Seriously, doesn't everyone have contingency plans?
It's not your fault, the insinuations of my statement cover philosophy where even I fear to tread. So no, I don't intend to punish anyone. Rather, I simply can't stomach a plus 5 insightful mod from a stooge whose knowledge of the subject matter stopped accumulating at the age of 14. Of course the consensus of the Slashmob results in -1 for me -fuckem. Perhaps for my next rant we can debate why even the Catholic church no longer murders heretics, while many governments of the world kill regularly despite their holy documents holding the right to life inalienable. Besides, it's clear to me the parent doesn't mean to TAX the church, He means simply to seize its accumulated wealth which was acquired by the consent of its governed. Finally, I had asked people to compare the young earthers to welfare hood rats. As you can see the responders knee jerked response was predictable, leading me to believe that if you know a lot of stupid people, perhaps there is a reason for that as well.
How about we stop electing fascists that want to outlaw perfectly reasonable activities and otherwise obstruct our pursuit of happiness instead of balancing a budget.
You would think that somebody at NASA would have pointed out the abject stupidity of lifting something as useless as a rasberry pi out of earths gravity well. Attention fanbois, we won't get to mars by talking about it. I thought engineers were trained at least to be aware of cost efficiency... Mods, here's another chance to penalize inside the box thinking.

There are some things even an irrevocable bad karma cannot endure. Perhaps Leonard can invoke some Systemd magic?

If the intent is to avoid false readings wouldn't it make sense *NOT* to put this thing next to a nuclear reactor?
It's just you.

Microsoft never developed the integrated "on error - SHIP IT" compiler options.
