  1. Title of article on Restauranteurs Say Yelp Uses Extortion To Ply Ad Sales · · Score: 1

    The word is restaurateur, not restauranteur.

  2. Re:I still say on Coffee Flavored Breakfast Cereal · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a girls' drink to me.

  3. Re:looking for a good windows to linux book. on Linux Power Tools · · Score: 2, Funny
    ... I know how windows works to the point I can set in up in under an hour rather than mess with linux for days.
    Good for you. I can set up 60 linux machines in an hour.
    (I'd get someone else to screw them into the racks though - that takes a while.)
  4. XFS in production on XFS Merged into Linux 2.4 · · Score: 1

    We've been using XFS in production from the start.

    We're a film and TV VFX / animation company, and have XFS on everything - about 600 machines, from large servers to workstations and render machines. It's absolutely core to our business. We came to XFS from using SGI machines, but it's nearly all linux now.

    As far as I know, many of the other studios are doing the same.

    Another thing that we've noticed recently is the proliferation of black box NAS servers, which when you look closely are linux/XFS boxes with a fancy gui.

  5. Re:The reality is underwhelming on Concorde to be Grounded · · Score: 2, Informative
    Two years ago, I was bumped from a cancelled BA business class trip onto a Concorde flight from New York to London. This was just after the Paris crash, when I guess they had to bump people onto the Concorde just to have some warm bodies aboard.

    You wish. All the British Airways and Air France Concordes were grounded for 17 months after the crash.

    If it happened at all, you're just bitter you had less time to stuff your face during the flight.
