All the affected servers were running the 2.6 version, first released in December 2003.
Not even wrong. I guarandamntee you that none of the affected computers were actually running 2.6.0, and it wouldn't have been/that/ long ago that such an obviously stupid and ill-researched claim wouldn't have been posted.
Soulskill, you/do/ understand that there were forty different versions of Linux in the 2.6 series, do you not? You do understand that the final 2.6 release was in August 2011 and it was numbered 2.6.39.4, which I know because I did 5 minutes of basic Googling?
That's only the cheapest path because all phones use it now... because it was mandated by the EU. Prior to that the "cheapest" (or more likely, most profitable) path was proprietary, which is why everyone did it pre-mandate.
This is why free-market libertarianism is akin to a religion: the arguments are largely based on counterfactual faith.
Your Android phone uses a common charger because the EU mandated all phones use a MicroUSB charger. Apple gets around that by providing an adapter, which I think is free for people in the EU and for a few dollars here in the States.
Your free-market argument is made in ignorance.

Did you have something intelligent to add? Besides the derp in your second para, just ask your IT guy to install CS for you on "KVM types of machines", whatever that means.
Evaporating water doesn't stay in the local environment, it goes up into the global environment and eventually rains out somewhere.

Enviros don't like it because when you desalinate seawater you get two things: 1) potable water, and 2) seawater that's much saltier than normal which is typically all dumped into the same place in the ocean, which is going to kill anything nearby but extremophiles.

Anecdotally, I once submitted a story and whichever editor was on duty totally sliced-and-diced my prose.
Do 'editors' remotely 'edit' anything?
Only when they feel like it.

Meh, why not fire up UT2004? IMO that's the best of the series.
You have your understanding of Goddess, I have mine.
There is no cilantro.
Eris is a tricksy one.
230V is superior to 120V because you don't need to push as many amps down the power cable. Amps are what kills you, not volts.
I wouldn't expect a creationist to understand.

No, they don't care.
Sounds a lot like AGW denial as well, down to the conspiracy theories.
That's probably in section 5.
If only Slashdot had editors.
I know what KVM means, thanks, but you weren't clear about what kind of machines you're using them on.
I'm in IT and I wouldn't have any problem with Classic Shell itself being on a Win8x computer. I use it myself, after all.

Directly, no. The product of our water usage is, and that was the article's point.
It's funny how your argument sounds just like AGW denialism, down to NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE and overly simplistic "solutions".
Agreed, the whole thing is a puff piece put to a formerly-relevant nobody.
Nobody's saying otherwise. Did you RTFA/RTFS?
Holy dogshit, /. is full of know-it-all science deniers lately.
AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. You are an idiot.

There's not a lot of interest here, probably because Eric Raymond's been irrelevant for nearly 15 years.
Pray tell, how are you going to make it rain reliably where it's needed?
Idiot.
