  1. Full Stack DevOps Engineer on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Lies Programmers Tell Themselves? · · Score: 1

    That they are a "Full Stack DevOps Engineer". When I hear that I die a little inside.

  2. Re:Aww man, I just upgraded to SHA-1 on Preparing To Migrate Off of SHA-1 In OpenPGP · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I meant to say hashes are irreversible, or that that hashes are not reversible...I changed my train of thought in the middle of a sentence.

  3. Re:Aww man, I just upgraded to SHA-1 on Preparing To Migrate Off of SHA-1 In OpenPGP · · Score: 1

    I hope you were joking... MD5 isn't encryption, it's a hash. Encryption has to be reversible with a passphrase, hashes are not irreversible.

  4. Flash media on How Does Flash Media Fail? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everyone knows that the mainstream flash media is so left wing that's going to fail.

    Please explain "CentOS - as old as the hills"...

  6. Why have a linux desktop? on Red Hat CEO Questions Relevance of Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    As an avid linux user/systems administrator for over 11 years...I still do not understand why you need both server and desktop versions. Once you pick a distrobution, you should choose either bleeding edge or stable...those should be the only two versions you really need to worry about. I've also been a huge user of RH and it's forks (previously WhiteBox, currently CentOS). If I needed a desktop installation you simply do not install the server packages. Can someone explain why we need a dedicated desktop version?
