    You can of course contact the site and ask them to remove it.

  2. Re:FUD on Private Data On iOS Devices Not So Private After All · · Score: 1

    It's still a problem if users don't know about it and has no way to disable it.

  3. Re:sure, works for France on Switching From Microsoft Office To LibreOffice Saves Toulouse 1 Million Euros · · Score: 1

    I understand your point but I can't see how vacation could even be a factor when negotiating salaries. Salaries are primarily negotiated based on supply and demand, and when no one can be denied their paid vacation that factor doesn't matter anymore.

  4. Re:sure, works for France on Switching From Microsoft Office To LibreOffice Saves Toulouse 1 Million Euros · · Score: 1

    Your total compensation is just it. You can negotiate to be compensated in dollars, pieces of silver, gallons of milk, condoms or paid vacation days, but all of these are part of total price of your labour and where you get something, you lose something somewhere else.

    I would not say that it's part of your compensation if there was a law that said that everyone should have at least x number of paid days off.

  5. Re:What version would be this on Firefox 31 Released · · Score: 1

    That version is horribly out of date. You should update now unless you're using distro supported version of Firefox where the patches have been backported.

  6. Re:another language shoved down your throat on Python Bumps Off Java As Top Learning Language · · Score: 1

    Right... so a Microsoft approved curriculum. Good for a trade school, awful for a person who wants to actually learn something.

    Well, still better than an Oracle approved curriculum.

  7. Re:another language shoved down your throat on Python Bumps Off Java As Top Learning Language · · Score: 1

    Visual Studio is quite Windows specific, but the others are more or less cross-platform thanks to Mono.

  8. Re:Gnome 3 on Plasma 5 Release Candidate Announced · · Score: 1

    Would you have preferred that it looks more like Gnome3 ?!

    Yes. Yes I would. But I think it's a good thing that KDE is doing their own thing first and foremost.

    Hey then why don't you install Fedora on it? =)

  10. Re:another language shoved down your throat on Python Bumps Off Java As Top Learning Language · · Score: 4, Informative

    Computing science is not about programming, but programming is often used as a tool in computing science and they therefore (rightfully) have you take programming courses before going into the more theoretical material.

  11. Re:Pay attention to that man behind the curtain on CentOS Linux Version 7 Released On x86_64 · · Score: 1

    That's good; but that's the CentOS SRPMs, not the RHEL SRPMs. I assume Oracle wants the latter.

  12. Re: Pity about systemd on CentOS Linux Version 7 Released On x86_64 · · Score: 1

    Debian decided to switch to Systemd after Wheezy shipped, so it won't end up in stable until at least the next release.

  13. Re:Desktop Repos? on CentOS Linux Version 7 Released On x86_64 · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you have not changed the base channel to 6.4? As recently as today I updated a RHEL (not CentOS) 6.4 machine to 6.5 and it happily updated to redhat-release-server-6Server-6.5.0.1.el6.x86_64 with just a simple yum update. And I don't think we have done anything special to that machine.

  14. OpenJDK on CentOS Linux Version 7 Released On x86_64 · · Score: 1

    The summary mentions OpenJDK 7 as something new in 7. Just want to print out that both 5 and 6 has support for OpenJDK 7 as well.

  15. Re:Fedora can be annoying.. on CentOS Linux Version 7 Released On x86_64 · · Score: 2

    I guess Nvidia is more than welcome to submit their driver under a compatible license if they want better compatibility.

  16. Re:Pity about systemd on CentOS Linux Version 7 Released On x86_64 · · Score: 2

    If you're talking about traditional init scripts then Systemd has support for them. You can continue to use them, but you should probably at least check that they work as intended. Not sure if Upstart jobs are still supported thoigh.

  17. Re:Pity about systemd on CentOS Linux Version 7 Released On x86_64 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I for one have found it very pleasing to use, but if you want to give up on an entire operating system based on its init system then all I can say is good luck.

  18. Re:Who gives a fuck? on CentOS Linux Version 7 Released On x86_64 · · Score: 1

    3. Fuck Oracle & most definitely fuck Ellison.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but given that Oracle makes their living (partly) on repackaging RHEL then that sounds like a good reason to get a RHEL subscription.

  22. Re:how is this a file system problem? on One Developer's Experience With Real Life Bitrot Under HFS+ · · Score: 2

    The file system can do quite a bit if it actually does consistency checks on the data when reading it. ZFS does this and will alert you if the contents of a file has changed after it was last written, allowing you to restore a good copy from backup and verify that it is still valid.

  23. Re:ZFS, Apple! on One Developer's Experience With Real Life Bitrot Under HFS+ · · Score: 1

    Then it's much simpler. This ECC issue has absolutely nothing to do with ZFS. You should use ECC RAM if you are doing any form of disk IO no matter which file system you're using, or you are under the risk of data loss.

  24. Re:Legacy file systems should be illegal on One Developer's Experience With Real Life Bitrot Under HFS+ · · Score: 1

    HFS+ was just an extension to HFS, which goes back to the System 2 days. HFS suffered from a number of limitations which made in unsuitable on volumes larger than 2 GB.

    That depends on your shell. Bash works that way, but zsh does not; at least not by default as far as I know.
