Containers are even less separate than jails, of course they're near the bottom of the barrel in terms of security. Why the Container fad when the overhead of proper virtualization is now so very low it's negligible on any modern server processor?
Because you can run three to four more server apps on the same architecture than you can using even efficient VMs such as KVM. That, in turn, means you have o pay for fewer servers.
This guy isn't talking about our current student loan mess. He's talking about 30+ years ago... and somehow he never got around to dealing, never mind paying, his student loans from the 80s!? What a jerk.
I mean, Skype has always had troubles, but seriously simply entering http:/// causes not just a message crash, but wrecks the program! This is amazingly bad for a freshman project, much less an "enterprise" ready program from a major vendor.
Actually, to sum up what I said in the linked to article, Lollipop came out with multiple problems and Google was really slow both to get the first OTA and the updates out. It's not because as the person who posted this to/. suggests because people were sticking with KitKat because it was good enough. Now, if Lollipop 5.02 goes no where then that may be a real argument, but it's not one you can make today.
Why does this read like a PR document written by Apple to sway public opinion? Both parties have come close or outright crossed the ethical lines in their various legal battles. Finger waving or sanctioning a lawyer here or there does not change the core issues. Rather is distracts from the core issues and gains sentiment (or attempts to).
It reads like PR because it's written by a known Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle patent shill.
Skype is P2P VoIP too. This is old technology rehashed one more time. It works OK--I mean there's a reason why Skype's so popular--but if you really want useful open-source VoIP look to SIP implementations.
The short version is that the idea is to make it possible for you to use the Internet as freely and privately as possible no matter what restrictions governments, businesses or ISPs have in mind.
It still won't help if your government does an Egypt and pulls the plug, but short of that, it has real possibilities.
The existing codebase is OO 3.2x and they're adding in Novell's existing older and OpenXML MS Office format support. It does fine on my Presentation slides that started life in PowerPoint.

I'm covering the intersection of Internet and TV now at Videotcy (http://videotcy.com/), and, of course, I've been covering Linux almost since day one. What I've found is that the TV vendors honestly don't know what they're going to do yet with Linux. Or, to be more precise, they don't know how they're going to bring Internet-based video into their TVs. That's in large part because the field is still developing, For example, only one in five of Ethernet/Wi-Fi equipped TVs are even connected to the Internet.
So, what should they do? Spend money to add functionality that might not be used? Rely on media-extenders for Internet TV? Build in real computing power?
No one knows yet. That's one reason why I started Videotcy. I foresee interesting times ahead and I'm sure Linux and open source will have a big role to play. What that role will be? Well, I plan on finding out. I just don't have, no one does, an answer yet.
For those that come closest, the servers tend to be transaction-optimized RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and Solaris. The networks are fiber optic-based. While they may connect to the Internet, the core systems, like those provided by AboveNet, are usually private 10GBe networks. In short, to really take advantage of this kind of high-speed trading you're not going to be doing this from your basement. You need to have a trading station either co-located at the market, or just down the street on a high-speed network no more than a link or two from the exchange's servers.
And, yes, network speed does matter here. So does server, storage and DBMS access speed.
Needless to say, none of the exchanges are exactly forthcoming about what their particular magic technology formula is since being able to deliver high-speed trading consistently has become an important sales point. I know many traders on Wall St. and the City in London who will move from one Exchange to another based purely on their ability to deliver faster trades. For this group, what's being traded is besides the point. It's all about keeping an edge in trading speed over their competitors.

For myself, I'm still finding that Apple TV and iTunes are the best combo. The new Apple TV firmware upgrade 2.4--http://practical-tech.com/entertainment/apple-tv-2-4-well-worth-the-download/--in particular has really made the Apple TV more useful than ever. Apple doesn't whisper a word of it, but the code's really been cleaned up and the result is a much more efficient media box.
The list of my problems with that combo--starting with the simple fact that it's proprietary as proprietary can be--is longer than my arm. Still, for me it's the best choice.

Ah, it's not always on.
Fire them all and let unemployment sort them out.
More seriously, if he can't produce the code you need, or maintain older code, whatever, he really does need to be moved out.

It's called upgrading the OS. Nothing to see here people except a really, really bad, mis-leading headline.

Here's my fuller story on what Moglen and company have in mind:
Freedom Box: Freeing the Internet one Server at a time
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/networking/freedom-box-freeing-the-internet-one-server-at-a-time/698
The short version is that the idea is to make it possible for you to use the Internet as freely and privately as possible no matter what restrictions governments, businesses or ISPs have in mind.
It still won't help if your government does an Egypt and pulls the plug, but short of that, it has real possibilities.

That's not how Google DNS or the other open DNS sites work with the Content Delivery Networks. Here's how the process really works:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/networking/changing-dns-probably-won-8217t-help-your-video-streaming/467
The bottom line is that changing your DNS is unlikely to help with your video-streaming, and if it does, it's pretty much a matter of you lucked out.

Actually, they were not fixed in the RC. Sorry, they weren't.
See Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy. http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=25839 Which also deals with just how wise would it really be to remake a world in our image. These are good books, which I highly recommend.

And this is news why?
They'll be welcome again at another Apple shindig when Steve Jobs is dead and buried.
And, probably not then.

Most exchanges aim for that kind of speed now, but fail to make it. Some of them, like the London Stock Exchange, http://blogs.computerworld.com/london_stock_exchange_to_abandon_failed_windows_platform, which made the idiotic mistake of relying on Windows Server and SQL Server, don't even come close to delivering that kind of performance.
For those that come closest, the servers tend to be transaction-optimized RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and Solaris. The networks are fiber optic-based. While they may connect to the Internet, the core systems, like those provided by AboveNet, are usually private 10GBe networks. In short, to really take advantage of this kind of high-speed trading you're not going to be doing this from your basement. You need to have a trading station either co-located at the market, or just down the street on a high-speed network no more than a link or two from the exchange's servers.
And, yes, network speed does matter here. So does server, storage and DBMS access speed.
