I seem to vaguely recall such a thing being available for SunOS in the 80s and being able to use that same method on every other Unix I have worked on since.
Only decades? OK, so the nutritional fads have come full circle again. Also, you are just indulging in the no true Scottsman fallacy. That's the real problem here. Diet simply isn't treated like a serious subject. It's not treated like a serious subject by the scientific establishment or the medical establishment so it ultimately ends up being treated like astrology.
You can blame scientists and doctors for their lack of interest.
Why would Scott Adams need to "do good research"? The current consensus should be easy to trip over. "Good research" is what we pay the guys in lab coats for.
Unprocessed foods are not more expensive. They can't be. It's simple math and economics. Anything that is more ready made has more labor put into it. Like any outsourcing, it increases your costs. The middle man and all his little minions need to be paid.
> A whole generation has grown up who believe that music is "free".
It's not just the current generation. This has been going on pretty much for as long as there has been broadcast media. This "it should be free" thing goes back to the genesis of radio.
There is nothing new about "payment avoidance" when it comes to Music.

Strange then that Oracle has been doing it for so well for so long. It kind of makes you wonder what sort of extra special trade secrets they must be employing to make this happen.

Simple. Buy LESS LAME hardware.
The only thing Thunderbolt does that USB does not is passthrough of the display port connection that your lame laptop probably already has (or should have).
USB is already a bus and has already handled things like ethernet for quite some time now.
A lot of this really just boils down to 60s ideas of environmentalism and reducing pollution. It's just that the modern spin ads an extra level of extreme hysterics to the situation that are likely to alienate people and trigger skepticism.
Although you are probably right. If you ask all of the apathetic types just going along or even the true blue tree huggers to really sacrifice, you will probably get a much different answer.
That's probably why you have this whole subject wrapped in hysteria to begin with. Someone thinks they need to generate a sense of urgency by any means necessary.
VMware has better USB and SATA device support. It requires less resources to run multiple VMs (compared to virtualbox) and more readily supports virtual clusters.
Although I could certainly see how most other desktop VM users would be perfectly satisfied with Virtualbox.
George Carlin had a great routine on this subject. He correctly surmised that we were all guinea pigs. His particular example was birth control pills but this could apply equally to any new chemical or product. We usually really don't know the full implications of something until it's been tested by the end user. There usually isn't sufficient "science" done beforehand to really trust a new drug or product. So we are ultimately all guinea pigs and we have to just see what happens.
Unfortunately by that point it's hard to isolate all the variables.
If cancers and allergies go up, who do you blame? There are so many possible culprits.
Also, science is much harder and much less certain than the talking heads will admit.
There is no health benefit to taking a perfectly useful plant and adding more poisons to it. It doesn't matter if it's what occurs in the planet naturally or some other product that someone wants to sell to your local farmer (Roundup).
We already grow more than enough food. We have been letting food rot in order to prop up commodities prices since before you were born.
How exactly could Google even stop Microsoft? The OS allows for side loading and alternative stores. If Microsoft can't get on the Play store, they could just sell their stuff through Amazon.
90F might not be but 70 is. Alternately, you could say that someone in the organization has anemia and likes the temp at 75 or 80. Either way, there is still likely to be a significant enough difference compared to the outside.
Also, that bit about anti-Pascal criticisms being outdated or due to the "wrong implementation" pretty much destroys any idea that it would be superior for "cross platform" development. The excuses for those misconceptions show why Pascal would have a hard time being useful for "cross platform" purposes.
What subset of "modern Pascal" do you have to restrict yourself to avoid those "problems".
If the technique weren't different, there would be no reason for the industry to astroturf over it. There would be no motivation for them to use you as a corporate tool.

People with large numbers of servers probably don't appreciate Linux becoming some sort of oddball or a precious snowflake.
I certainly would not want that at my layer of the stack.
We tend to run more than just Linux.
I would rather the "you lowly peons you don't have any clue, we run BILLIONS of servers" contingent just fucked off and used AIX instead.

Nonsense.

People are just lazy and like to make up excuses.
When it comes to diet and nutrition you may very well be better off with "voodoo" and "alchemy".
Any guy that would admit to being run off of a female dominated class would rightfully be mocked and made fun of by other guys.
I think that is perhaps the real dividing line.
No one treats poor Johnny like a damsel in distress that needs resucing.

It takes a lot of effort to manage something so bad that you can end up with the NRA and ACLU both on the same side of an issue.
...or even Amazon. Conventional TV is about the worst way to consume video. For things other than sports, it really isn't necessary anymore.
Although Sports would benefit even MORE from a Netflix+iTunes approach to distribution.

That summary makes absolutely no sense.
Alternately 10 million people got a mental health day. That's $20 per person. That's probably less than the cost of going to the movies in NYC.
90F might not be but 70 is. Alternately, you could say that someone in the organization has anemia and likes the temp at 75 or 80. Either way, there is still likely to be a significant enough difference compared to the outside.
There will be plenty of bandwidth. It's just that the network monopolies will want to choke it off so that they can favor their own services.
I remember back when single CD blanks were $30 a pop and pirates still used them to copy games. I thought it was nuts then but people did it.
Don't assume that just because you are a luddite late adopter or intolerable cheap that the rest of us are too.
> I see your AR-15 and raise you an M-1 Tank
Marine infantrymen are trained how to disable tanks. They are aren't armed with much beyond the AR-15.
