  2. Not necessarily on Fedora 19 Nixing MySQL in Favor of MariaDB · · Score: 1

    Bad reporting by Phoronix here. The feature has been proposed, but it has not yet been voted on by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo). It may or may not be approved for Fedora 19. I don't want to speak for Jaroslav Reznik, but he doesn't necessarily support the proposal. As the Fedora Program Manager, it's part of his job to post these proposed features to the mailing list for discussion prior to the FESCo vote.

    Except the atmosphere isn't distributed evenly. Density drops pretty quickly with height. At 35kft, the standard atmospheric pressure is about 250mb, which means roughly 75% of atmospheric mass is below you.

    You obviously haven't seen most of the IT women I work with. Thanks, but no.

    I have to agree with that. Sure, I could look at my user's files, but why would I want to? There's no doubt that I'd see things that no amount of eyebleach would fix. So long as nobody's filling up the server or causing me to get phone calls from network security, I'd rather not know what they're doing.
