  1. Re: I can watch amazon just fine on The Dark Side of Amazon's New Pilots · · Score: 1

    But it already works that way. Self-appointed elitist assholes flood information channels with what they think should be consumed, and the masses in turn consume it. We simply need elitist assholes that have a different goal.

    You're confusing "popular" with "good" or even "worth considering". Don't feel bad though; it's a very common mistake, right after "I didn't see that sign" and "I thought pulling out would be good enough".

    Are you claiming that it's acceptable to impersonate a serial puppy murderer, but not someone that volunteers their time and money to save starving children in Elbonia?

    Remove "rhgb" and "quiet" from the kernel boot line. Fixed.

    Xerox created a machine. Their involvement in creating the world ended pretty much there.

    Personally, all this whining about the loss of a start menu is because you kids grew up in a point and click world.

    Microsoft practically created that world. And now they've destroyed it.

    A pair of filters with polarization aligned at right angles to each other will block over 99% of the laser light when placed in front of each other.

  11. Re:Oracle sucks. on Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime · · Score: 1

    However, there is little that CentOS or Oracle really bring to the table by rolling out their own distros.

    CentOS helps keep RHEL "honest" to a certain degree. Could SL have filled that role had CentOS not existed? Possibly, but the customizations made could be seen as an impediment to that.

  12. Re:So what did it do all that time? on Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime · · Score: 1

    If you want to guarantee a system keeps operating and maintains data integrity when a single computer fails, you need at least another three computers that are still running with no failures. There is a mathematical proof for this.

    I would like to see this proof. I am not doubting you, I am simply curious about the mathematics involved.

    In this case "hw is just off the shelf" means that the components are easily sourceable, not necessarily that the completed device already exists.

    I hope you meant remote clients and servers. Otherwise it's just X all over again, but slightly different. One thing Windows and OS X get right is that their GUI is based around local API calls.
