I don't really get it though. My parents told me "listen, quit the fucking apathy and do your homework." If I didn't, I was sorry (no, they didn't beat me up, but they punished me, y'know... like parents). I'm not really sure why grade school kids get to decide whether they wanna do work or not these days.
Trouble is, they don't even support their own equipment properly yet. A lot of stuff has Solaris 10 support "on the way." Finding something that is a basic system util that supports Solaris 10 AND x86 is hit or miss yet. I suspect that will improve, but I would have expected at LEAST Sun to be behind their own offering from day 1.
Only the extremely melodramatic ones. From TFA, apparently all that might be needed is a single cell. You could get that from a syringe. Granted they were oversimplifying, but I think the point stands.
Even if he is, at least he has decent manners and doesn't come off like a reactionary gasbag... and I'm not sure if you've read Lying Liars, but his documentation is a lot less bullshit filled than hers.
I am all for hearing the opposing viewpoint, just not from an obvious bonehead (Ann Coulter, Laura DiDio, etc.). I'd rather argue with someone who isn't just spouting rhetoric and really has something to say. "Pass the hookah" talk about Linux is just an attempt at incitement, not to be insightful.
I think the problem is less with the quality of the article and more with the fact that anyone cares what she has to say. The quotes on that page are ridiculous. I use Linux 'cuz it's free and it works as I expect it to. How is that a love fest? Idiotic.
If my home directory is to fare as well as a lot of the other things I carry with me (such as gloves, umbrellas, etc., that never seem to make it off the train with me), I'd prefer it stay, well, at "home" -- where it belongs.
Yeah, but the problem is that signifigance really does not jump out at you at all. To me, it appeared as the other posters have said -- running something from external media. Perhaps the article needed to spell it out a bit better.
Here's something funny. All the parent had to do was say "here's something interesting" and he was modded interesting, whereas the chap that posted the same thing several comments earlier received nothing. Brilliant.:)
That site really sucks. All it is is a list of negative news items about Google, or in the case of the positive things that Google has done, a weak-ass sarcastic negative spin on something good. I'm not in Google's pocket or anything (though full disclosure would require me to tell you I am applying for a job there), however it seems to me that some manner of balanced reporting would be more beneficial to society than some whiny site such at this one.
I don't know, I think you're overestimating the 85th percentile. I don't typically go more than 10-15 mph over the limit on highways, and I'm typically the in the top 4 or 5 fastest moving people around me.
Anyway, the 85th percentile rule was taught to me by a police chief who taught a class at my university. I am inclined to believe he'd know.

So moderators:
How is commenting on the topic Offtopic. How about redundant or overrated?
A lot of Florida's stuff is going underground now -- I think it's probably pretty easy to guess why. ;)
We've already got Hot Coffee here. All they got over there's tea.

Even so -- we aren't paid columnists... I wouldn't expect a forum to be of professional quality.

I'm willing to bet you aren't running OS X on any of these machines, however.
I think these folks mean "consecutive" but don't seem to be able to find the word.
Paranoid = awake? I'm not sure what dialect you're using here.
Hey, it works! See?! ;)

I searched myself. I got 797 on Google and 341 on Yahoo! FWIW.
Should be "fewer" results, methinks. Doesn't NCSA have editors? Thought they were kinda up there as professionalism goes.
Training for penetration testing at Disney. Sounds a little too neverland for me, TYVM.
The developers where I work all use it... but then again, I do work in a university. Hmmm.
They make sure to whip their slave laborers a bit harder than those of the competing factories. That's the Nike difference!
