When Wikipedia Fails
·
· Score: 1
It is interesting to note the "official media" (including this story) and it's obsession with Wikipedia's stumbling over this particular story. When Lay died, the stories about Wikipedia and its Lay article were as common as the stories concerning Lays death! The regular press insisted on whitewashing Lay's career and painting him as some sort of tragic figure; very few of them really mentioned, let alone stressed, his fantastic & obscene criminality. The man was one of the worst criminals of the twentieth century; he deserves nothing more than to be remembered for that fact alone.
"The ecosystem" is not fragile as you say. However, "our ecosystem", the one that allows humans to exist, *is* fragile. God you are fucking stupid. No one is talking about "saving the earth." We are talking about insuing *our* survival. Everyone already knows the earth will outlast humanity.
an experienced *nix user would not put "." in the PATH. It really isn't a bother to not have "." in the PATH, and all having it in the path allows is for you to be mistaken about what program you're running.
Huh? First there is little, if any at all, "heirarchy" in debian, it is fairly close to direct democracy. WTF does ISO9000 have to do with anything? It's corporate managerial BS.
It seems like every How-To, indeed every article, review, report or book on open-source-anything whatsoever is at least 90% of "how to download and install foo." If you're really lucky an the author will spend a dozen or so pages on how to download and install the what-have-you on every sort of unix ever created. WHO CARES? Why does every author include such worthless padding in their articles? Even most published books on Free Software spend several chapters regurgitating the README and INSTALL files contained in the source (O'Reilly is one of the worst offenders). This is crap. It is a waste of my time. Please spend some time learning how to write engaging & useful articles, and join me in declaring a 10 year moratorium on redundant horsecrap about how to compile and install software.
munin is quite flexible - if you can write a shell script or perl script to spit out the data you want tracked, munin can graph it. It's that simple.
As far as windows is concerned, so long as you have perl and the right perl modules install (Net::Server mainly) it should work. The problem there would be getting a (perl, cmd.exe) script to spit the data you want to track.
... so put down all hackneyed writers you've been reading, the Rand and Heinlen novels and all the other sci-fi crap, and read something by a non-nerd.
Newsflash. Managers in the US are a class of people who get rewarded for ass kissing and doing nothing else. I've never met a manager who had a clue about anything, and this goes double in the IT industry.
Obviously you've never used it, since if you had, you would not have brought it up. CDE is one of the worst GUI's ever designed. It is similar to FVWM (which is sort of a clone of CDE) but is much worse. It is terrible, terrible, terrible. The only people who like CDE are die hard living-in-the-stone-ages Solaris folks whose main application is xterm.
This works by checking against a "known list" of phishing sites? WTF? Phishing "sites" are hacked boxes that have a life of about one week at best. If that is how this thing works it must suck.
No from Louisiana, and people aren't shy about eating "gross shit" here, and neither am I. Vietnamese have nothing on us:). Plus, there's a heck of a lot of Vietnamese immigrants here.
one more thing. What's up with the "bottom feeders" comment?
Most people think crabmeat is the most delicious meat in the world, certainly better than any steak. Crabs are the biggest bottom feeders of all. Same for lobsters and crawfish.
Uh, that's very "desktopy" type shit there. It isn't going to happen anytime soon since the cost savings would not be so dramatic.
The really high end (expensive) stuff - scientific work - across almost all industries, has already gone linux. Autodesk and Bentley will take a while, but Landmark, Schlumberger et. al. have gone linux big time.
You do realize catfish are one of the most eaten fish in the world?
that said, this thing is NOT for eating (though they did eat it). Big freshwater fish like that a usually full of worms and are disgusting. We have lots of 50 lb. cats where I live, but no one would think of eating one.

no, they were improperly designed.
Why don't you look up neo-liberal in an encyclopedia instead of being yet another internet Rand/Heinlen reading nerd spouting more ignorant nonsense?

That's amusing. Managers working, huh?

uh, you display it somewhere else.

DVDs are REALLY lousy for enterprise backup
Yes, but then Amanda is also not suitable for that. DVD's are too small to consider for backup for anyone with terrabytes of data to backup.
not the story, but that a slashdot "editor" actually got the possessive of "witness" right.

so you answered one of those russian ads huh?
Do they get toilet plunger training too?
No from Louisiana, and people aren't shy about eating "gross shit" here, and neither am I. Vietnamese have nothing on us :). Plus, there's a heck of a lot of Vietnamese immigrants here.
They are certainly good fried, but there's another very popular way in Louisiana called courtboullion.

What is wrong with that statement? It is a perfectly arguable position.
His old site beats the crap out of ninnies like Paul Graham, who sucks ass.

Most people who are stupid enough to swim in the Mississippi don't come back, the currents are more dangerous than the fish
