It was DOA as far as I was concerned. Redhat basically told the world "we don't care about the desktop" and it shows. Now, I still rely on Centos but I prefer debian and my users get mint.
Fedora gets to make the false insinuation that they are redhat till stuf blows up or changes in midstream. It's not redhat and it's not a standard linx desktop. Fedora is what's left over after a bunch of junior hacks get done dicking around for the day. You get to pick up the pieces. Nobody in their right mind uses Fedora. It's just Like working on the zune. Fedora is what a free edition of windows would be with a lot less polish. I wish Microsoft would just release their own version of linux and get it over with. You Linux guys are no disciplined enough to stick with a project and see it through.
Airlines were actually one of the first to get paying customers to do their work for them. Closely followed by gas stations. Computer OEMs perfected it by actually selling you an additional warranty with the provision that you spend a minimum of 3 hours on the phone learning a foreign language and disovering how not to force sodimms in backwards. I've flown twice since Bush gave arresting powers to 19 y/o waitresses. Putting up with this stuff on your way to a funeral is really too much. But it gives you a lot of perspective.
Don't forget the other side of the coin. As demonstrated in this story's responses. Anyone who has ever seen a freaken snmp message swears it's the best product ever. I'm pretty sure EVERY product ever hacked together has been mentioned. Forget about monitoring. Your IT people route all those alerts to/dev/null. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PLEASE STOP THESE ALERTS! Nobody is going to do anything about the problem until your customer calls twice anyway. Oh, and by the way, if you don't want your entire business to drop dead, try just once NOT to buy the most absolute cheapcrap hardware you can find. Whatever you do, don't use chinese drywall in your data center.
Book burning seems to be a common theme among you socialists. But how does Niel Ihavetwolastnames add some kind of credulity to your argument? This is the guy who killed pluto.
Hardly arbitrary, when Earth is your specified frame of reference. I choose to remember it as 22,222 miles because it's easy to remember. It's only when I'm actually designing my satellites that I do the calculation. Otherwise my arbitrary satellite will fall out of the sky. Now you may say my decision to use miles instead of meters is arbitrary as well, but it wasn't. The part that always trips me up is spelling satellite. That's where google comes in. Heard of it?
Back in my tech support days, I had the most popular blue screens memorized, With a fix ready to go. Even today, Linux fades to black and never comes back. Luckily with the speeds of SSD, almost any problem that isn't solved by a reboot, or blaming an ISP, is fixed by a reimage from backup. You guys keep you fsck commands around and Vi on a stick. I'll be done before you get lastlog open. Still Ballmer had no choice but to rewrite the message. Originally it read "WARNING! Windows has detected that you are running Windows on this computer. Your computer will be shutdown to prvent damage to your computer" Are you sure?
Standards are written in ivory towers. MCA and BetaMax were some of the most impressive standards i never used. I'm not saying standards aren't useful, but they are not a substitute for "just works". Companies make cheap crap because that is what most people want. Other people buy expensive crap. What they NEVER do is pay a lot of money for cheap crap. Standards help define these segments.
Haha, that is pretty funny. For the first time in several years, i have bad karma myself. It's quite enjoyable to offer contrary opinions on subjects as varied as global warming to police shootings to lindows. Yup, having good karma kinda started making me feel old. (Which i am). Now i don't consider my way of thinking any more valid than any other lost soul on slashdot. But it seems poking blowhards with sticks is quite enjoyable. The real question now is what are we going to call the linux registery. (I mean the part after the 'K-' or 'G-'. I always thought windows would make a linux version mainly because as we have seen, having the linux folks reinvent windows is taking longer than planned. You should not be surprised what some people at MS can do to a version of windows (Me, Vista) especially when compared to what Iomega has done to debian5. Yeah xml config files! Systemd is going to be great once they are done with it. Which will be never. This might be the break BSD needs to take the desktop from linux. LOL mofos.
I would pay for it too. Trolling an audience that assumes it is not being trolled is twice the fun. Maybe we could have different levels of membership. Maybe we could have a moderation system. Maybe thinking your opinion is worth 2 cents is funny enough.
Not true. I would create a post ridiculing your statement regardless. Where did this whole "bully" concept come from anyway? I've been to Australia, those guys are wierd enough, but at least they don't whine like bitches. It seems the post cold war generation are a bunch of whining crybabies. I blame the French, but something tells me it's more deeply rooted than that. Oh wait, I forgot we're talking about a book written by some dope that hasn't done enough in her life to aquire perspective. Hey! maybe that's it. Maybe it's not the French's fault at all. Browsing at -1 is still the best way to read Slashdot. What we need in beta is a +5 filter. Actually, we just need the +5 filter, keep bet under wraps for another 3 years or so.
Although their are plenty of books written by others to explain them. There's an analogy in there somewhere, it's not car analogy, but even automakers let Chilton's write their documentation. So, the answer is no you shouldn't waste your talent on scribe work if you are a genius. Alternativley, if you need to explain what your program is doing to someone who presumeably bought your program with the expectation that it accomplishes their intended purpose, then maybe you aren't a genius after all.
Privacy is a derived right and invokes unwritten rules of human nature such as judging other peoples actions. My freedom really should not be limited by your pea brained assessment of my actions or motives. Privacy is insidious and a bastion of cowards that are afraid their own morals won't stand up to scrutiny. No my freinds, I have the inarguable right to do whatever the hell I want to the point of death. The real debate should be whether the government should have the right to keep and bear arms rather than I. Governments really shouldn't be alllowed near guns, they have murdered a lot more innocent people than me, or my crackhead commie neighbor combined.
We could stop assuming that, but it would be a bad assumption. We have several thousand years of direct observation that the average person "groks". The real driver of the evolution of society came when the "Love thy neighbor" requirement was instituted. It works really well, and probably explains aa lot about the accension of modern man. The best part is that it can insert itself into any political system. Unfortunately, the latest fashion is for pseudo-intelectuals to throw the baby out with the bath water and search for the meaning of life inside of black holes. Sure, I'm viewing this in a biased way, and I don't recommend turning world governance back over to the 3 idiot sons of Charlemagne, I guess I'm convinced that if you believe in unalienable rights, it requires a belief in God. I've found that most people that don't believe in God come up with overly absurd assumptions and excuses because the alternative of loving your neighbor is really hard work and imposes direct personal responsibility. This in no way infringes on my right to keep and bear arms (just in case i haven't shoe-boxed enough).
Turning the computer on usually does it for me. That and clicking my left mouse button. While we're on the subject, how much crack are you up to these days?
The key to recognizing "enterprise" drives is the price. Usually it winds up being 94% higher price than what people in the enterprise use - which is the cheapest shit they can get their hands on. In a pinch, the enterprise guys will resort to canabalizing drives out of usb cases, where even the manufacturer has tried to mitigate the quality issues and burying them in low use cases. But the enterprise guys... those are the guys you need to ask. All in all, at a URE of 1x10^14 we are all pretty much hoping one of our backups is good. I remember the day my sys admin told me the daily backups were taking 23 hours. That was several weeks before he told me his test restore from backup failed. I REALLY LIKED THAT GUY.
First let me say, there is nothing wrong with open source. But if you and your business associates are intent on giving stuff away for free, there's no reason to hang yourself with the GPL. Just bring your code and operations manual to the next convention and leave them on the table. At least your competitors might buy the drinks later.
Dammit i meant dual pocessor i7's. Actually, I'm not sure what I meant, except to portray the fact that I'm pretty disgusted by living in a world where fuckheads still make a big deal out of some cheap stunt Edison pulled off 100 years ago.
Retards.
From being a manufacturer of throw away drug dealer phones to a manufacturer of phones that drug dealers want to steal. Still, they are going to have a hard time competing against the upcoming Windows 12 units with dual core I7's, especially if they throw in the cooling tower/battery backpack. Go ahead and mod this as a troll if you want. Anyone who writes an article portraying Samsung or Apple as relevant tech companies is just asking for it anyway. Linux phones still have a chance to make the best contribution to convergence, but they will just piss it away like they did in every other area under the guise of freedom. That leaves us with some indian guy at Microsoft force feeding you the next generation of shit that even Intel doesn't want to make anymore
Don't be too hard on the guy. Thisis why evolution invokes death. Just about the time you get it all figured out and decide it's not worth going in and punching your time clock, nature punches yours.
A dot of white nail polish will mark the proper orientation of a usb connector for approximately 800 units. Manufacturers actually used to spend the extra 2 cents per 1000 units to do this for you. But we buy our shit from china now, and all we have left in the UdotS is people think up ways to screw you just a little more. Because you demand it.
Hate to break the news to you son. Old geezers have been sending the kids to fight their wars for centuries. You might also consider the average geezer has been messing with women longer then you've been alive. Now THAT is stamina. Don't take this the wrong way. We admire our youth. I just hope you live long enough to become one of us.
But in this case it seems they are in perfect agreement when it comes to deciding whether any money or effort should be put into upgrading your kernel on your vcr with the blinking 12:00
I'm not sure about that. In relative terms, the profit to be made by one generation vs. the 10 generations to follow's incalculable damage is pretty clear cut. Fukushima and Chernobyl lay out a pretty good blueprint. Baby boomers have learned pretty well from "the greatest generation" how to put in minimal effort and then concentrate on sucking the system dry. Gen X got away with putting nothing at all in, which means Gen Y will be unable to get anything at all out. Now, this sentiment is nothing new, and has been echoed since greek times and before. The common wisdom of being content because "things could be worse" is continuously being proved true. I have no idea what is in store for Gen z, and I'm not predicting apocalypse, just really, really bad stuff. Sorry, but I got mine. - Good luck with that radioactive shit, maybe somebody will figure out a way to make really dirty weapons out of it and you can blow your generation to pieces, like we tried to.
