You're just angry that I'm pointing out that linux lacks a central repository for application and kernel settings and you have to dig through/etc 's mass of files to do the same thing. Linux is still rocking the equivalent of ".ini" files, and yeah -- it is primitive. And I'm not a moron for bringing it up, you're a moron for not seeing that sometimes, your religion of choice, could benefit from looking outside of itself and seeing that other developers have done something better.
Text files for configuration are great. I can version control them, copy them from one system to another, see meaningful diffs between them, and invidual applications can choose formats that are sensible for them.
Why on earth would I want to cram everything into a central repository?
It is not that the other people in the car are paying attention, it is that the sound quality is so much worse from your phone that your brain has to devote much more attention to parsing language.
People can get away pretty well navigating a road in light traffic, staying in the lane, and avoiding hitting other cars, which are large and easy to track and avoid without much attention. Which is all well and good until they hit pedestrians and cyclists.
The sound quality coming from other people in the car is great. The sound quality from your phone is compartively terrible. Your brain has to do a lot of extra work to parse language coming from a low-quality source, which impairs your ability to drive. I would be interested in a comparison between talking on the phone and listening to AM talk radio.
Do I get privacy if my mail is stored on a mail server in my house that I own? What if it is a colocated server that I own? What if it is a rented server? What if it is a VPS?
Migrate to what? Postgres admitted that there is a problem. It is not known to be exploited in the wild. Do you really think Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, and MySQL have no critical security bugs in them? Or even bugs already known to the vendor in the case of the closed source ones?
Your system is no worse today than it was yesterday. You know PostgreSQL has at least 1 bug. So unless you think another system has no bugs, do not switch.
The investments do not actually need to pan out. The VC firms just need to make their investors think that the investments will return, and the VC firm makes money in fees even if the overall return is low.
It is a casino for the investors. The VC firm is the house.
Taxes and services give the ruling class more power. An increased minimum wage would allow lower taxes and fewer services, thus reducing the ruling class' power.
What should the punishment be? A fine? Prison? Banned from the Internet?
He should be punished. Jail time is expensive for the taxpayers and harsh for somebody who, however misguided, was trying not to hurt anybody. I would suggest lots of community service.
Windows machines compromised via remote exploits in Windows: Windows sucks! Windows machines compromised via stupid users who install anything? Windows users suck! Linux machines compromised via default passwords: Administrators suck!
How long ago was that? My 7 year old T43 has only a few more screws than my new W520 and many fewer than my wife's 2 year old Acer. And each screw location is labeled "1", "2", or "3" and there is a big sticker that shows which screw length corresponds to which number.
Then the government could claim Eminent Domain to take the waterways away and give them to the power companies. Everybody (with enough money to buy politicians) wins!
Your wife seems to be the problem. It is more fun if you are the problem.
1. No, I will not hold your beer for you while you try that. 2. And I won't call 911 afterward either. 3. And don't you dare come into the house and drip blood on the floor to use the phone. 4. I think they put a guard on there for a reason. Why are you taking it off? 5. Your life insurance policy is paid up, right? 6. I am going back inside.
Modern cars have to meet much more stringent emissions requirements than older cars did. It was a lot easier to get good gas mileage when the car could exhaust more crap. Cars are also getting heavier bigger, heavier, and more powerful.

New York State already has laws to keep some sex offenders incarcerated after they serve their sentences.
You use this test as an excuse to keep certain people in jail for political reasons.
The fewer services the government provides, the less people are dependent on it, the less power the government has.

Fighter pilots are carefully selected, highly trained, and extremely focused.
Drivers are every idiot with 20/30 vision and 16 birthdays.
Consider that people (especially non-violent offenders) come out of prison more likely to commit a greater crime than before they went in.
The issue here is that the US government is not getting (enough) bribes. This probe will make sure that gets rectified.

Sounds reasonable to me.
You probably will not be in favor of fracking once you find out what they pump into the ground and what they consider "reasonable steps".

Were the core dumps marked executable, or was cron sourcing the scripts instead of just executing them?
If you are willing to go through that trouble, just use something else.
