Can you assign permissions for some root like things but not all? Can you apply patches by the thousands? If an update fails will you receive a log back via sccm? Does Firefox support.pacs for monitoring? Can you create a GPO to lock gnome profiles with ease for PCI compliance?
Until then keep dreaming Linux college boy. In the real world shit needs to get done and doesn't who gets em done. Linux maybe a fine server OS but Microsoft got it beat well over a decade ago in the field of business and management.
Does anyone buy platters of very slow piles of rust anymore? I use 2 ssds. Will never go back due speed and reliability. Seagates do not last long and latest ssds can do 70 tbs before failing
THe residents need to stop spewing anti corporate left wing radical stuff. We tried fascism before with the soviet union.
I prefer freedom instead thank you very much!
The market will take care of this only if we do not do anything. In a free market without government regulation none of these things would EVER happen.
It is a good thing they all use Windows 7 with updates turned by default and are all disconnected from the internet. With a good understanding management mixed in who care about this more than their reports from IE 6 this is not a problem.
At 400+ mph the air flying in would turn that into a roman candle FAST.
There is plenty to burn and windows break. Metal softens and gas and oil explode.
We will never find out. If they have not even freaking found debris yet then the jet will never be found. They found the debris in 48 hours with flight 903 and it still took over 2 years to find it.
I think the plane if it followed the same line is between Africa and Australia rather than right off Australia. People claimed they saw something Maldives which would make sense.
If the pilot decided to be real crazy and was conscious he could have landed it like the hudson river landing all intact. The plane would then slowly bob and not sink for many months or years.
It is disgusting, but the original poster replied to a further post about how this can be abused and that is why he opposes it.
Suppose you have a legit porn website. Someone uploads some porn with an exwife masturbating as an example. The divorce lawyer finds it and guess what? You are sued for revenge porn and now need to pay $5 million dollars to this women you never met so she doesn't have to work and go shopping off your retirement.
When laws come out like this whether laws that say the right to face your accuser does not apply in rape, or banning child porn, or implementing sexual harassment laws all have adverse consequences.
For example lets say you have a daughter who is 16 and filled with hormones. She takes a pic of her breasts and uploads them to her boyfriend. CHILD PORN MANUFACTURER! Her life is now ruined forever.
Or about how if you have a drink with a woman from work on a saturday and you get too friendly. Your boss can be liable for a hostile work environment even off the clock and can loose his business.
Be carefully what you support based on emotion. Going to far and the lawyers will find something to be used to the extreme.
I am so darned split with the right to refuse gays service in Arizona for example! I find it deplorable to oppose gay marriage! People should have any right.But I want to start a business. I have every darn RIGHT to refuse service for ANY reason. I own it! Lets say someone was costing me more than I was making. Or makes an unreasonable offer which is below cost. I refuse. Now I get to be freaking sued as I later find out the customer is a lesbian. Just freaking great!
I hate lawyers with a passion and trivial lawsuits. So I fit in this camp with less is better until we get real tort reform.
Assuming the first thing the pilots did wasn't turn off the communications system to try and prevent the fire from spreading.
The VERY FIRST thing you would do is alert the ground you had a problem. Not turn off all hope of getting help. There is no fire that is STOPPED by turning off a radio!
And even if it were the case the pilots were the stupidest people on earth AND acting in direct violation of aviation emergency procedures in order to take an action that would not help anyone, it STILL doesn't explain flying calming in a straight line for seven hours after with a raging fire eating at the planes controls and superstructure and fuel tanks. Sorry man, CNN's Black Hole is more likely than your Faerie Fire.
These are standard operating procedures as you need to shut it all off to find the short. Besides what is ground control going to do? You need to do a quick change course to the nearest airport while you find and shut down the damn thing before everyone dies!
Another is to try to suffocate the fire if it is a tire fire by flying at 45,000 feet. Check. Next if the crew gets oxygen afixiation the next step is to cruise at 12,000 feet if the fire is still going. Check. All good so far.... now here is the mystery. Let's say it was a fire. The captain and crew are incapacitated from carbon monoxide. The fire would take down the whole aircraft. It would burn through the wires for the computer auto pilot and crash the plane well before 7 hours. Or the structure would fail as it would burn through the luggage and explode the fuel compartment.
Also the path is changed again in the final arc. Why? Wouldn't it logically be on the same new path and be half way between Australia and Africa if the crew did die? That is west of perth alright but WAAY farther west. What in the mathematically geometry that says it is in the search area? Distance wise why wouldn't it be on the other side of the arc southwest instead of southeast?
Also if the plane is flying lower you have more friction if it still was at 12,000 feet. So wouldn't it logically be farther north as it would run out of fuel quicker too?
You can stop pretending that our multicore processors with 64 gigs of ram can't handle them.
...and perhaps you can stop pretending that HLL bloatware has anywhere near the performance of hand coded apps *on the same CPU*. It has nothing to do with GUI's per se, either. It's about frameworks with years and years of bloat, slow code in black boxes that can't be sped up (or often even bugfixed, as we have sadly come to learn), about ridiculous amounts of memory getting chewed up by library after library, about swapping instead of careful memory use... please don't pretend that faster CPUs have addressed the performance issues of higher (and higher) level approaches. The bottom line is still that well crafted apps that eschew OO approaches will almost always outperform for both memory use and speed, given the same environment to run in.
Wow straight out of 1989.
Modern compilers can probably generate code as fast as you can assemble it. Things have changed a lot in the last 20 years. FYI modern cpus just convert x86 assembly to risc internally. You do not touch the hardware anymore even if you think you do so you loose that efficiency you think you gain.
Let's talk about bloat? How about the bloat of paying you to write code to do something someone can do in half the time with half the experience? That is a bloated pocketbook of lost cash. Sure you can name some custom things which require it but at the end of the day deadlines for that complex business web app need to be finished or people lose their jobs. Java can do this fine with its rich frameworks just as an example.
But you get a nice tax savings with your wife. If she is in the hospital you can see her. When you die she is well taken care of and gets to live in your home in that unfortunate situation.
You are both entitled to many benefits with insurance.
So you support those who harm and take away rights that you enjoy.
At this point this is beyond an opinion. I have a question for you? What if you got the wrong genes or too much estrogen during your embonic stage and popped up gay? Your feelings towards women then would be how you view men today. Eww and foreign.
What choices would you have? Your friends get all of the benefits and you then see a group of people zealous and want to do everything they can to stop you from being you . They do not want your partner that you love to see you if you are in the hospital. Your SO's family takes your house you helped pay for and kicks you out in the street when he dies. All to teach you a lesson on how to live.
But no sir that is not biggoted at all. After all you can not produce children right?
Government is involved in marriage. Just straight marriage. How is this fair? You can argue it shouldn't be involved, but it has been in dealing with estate, law, taxes, and society forever.
People can believe what they want. The minute they try to impose something that has a real effect it is not an opinion anymore more than hitler was entitled to have his opinion on jews. Extreme metaphor... but maybe not as lives were impacted too even in a much more extreme way.
So we're politicizing browser selection now? This amounts to dragging end users into a political dispute that they have nothing to do with. Is this really a road we want to go down? How long before people start blocking IE because they don't like Microsoft's business tactics, or before Apple starts blocking Google Chrome users with a message complaining about alleged patent infringement?
Once this Pandora's box is open, it will be impossible to close. This time it may be aimed at Brendan Eich for the heinous crime of holding onto outdated views of gay marriage a whole two years longer than President Obama, but next time it could be anyone.
Where have you been in the past 5 years?
Various posts in slashdot..." I write a script to block IE users. They are STUPID and deserve not to go to my site for picking IE:". Everytime an IE story came last decade you got so many posts with this.
It is impossible to get 0wned unless you physically download something and run it! Ask any slashdoter?
We all know that running unpatched and ancient browsers like Firefox 3.6 with +100 exploits will not get you owned as that your Anti virus is useless! Just don't open things folks. As long as you do not run the latest IE which is patched you should be fine. /
The best way is to do things on the side web related. That way you do not have a gap on your resume and you have a portfolio.
HR will filter you out unless they say exact experience with the same exact keywords with no gaps in employment. Otherwise it will be thrown in the trash etc
Considering those out of work for more than 6 months have a better chance of starting a new carrer outside their field such as fast food than to have no gaps in your resume mean that is horrible advice.
Take a job FAST. Any job within 1 month unless you want to work flipping burgers or answering phones for 5 years until you are economically recovered.
I speak this too from experience. HR is brutal with this!
Everyone knows doing the exact same job title name with the same exact specifications with no gaps EVER even if you were laid off means great performance over someone who can do the job.
In a server environment a xeon has a ton of cache and that would be ideal for very wide loads. As a workstation I need to make sure IE 6 renders the site right in one, apache outputs it in another, and a large part of the time is loading and unloading things I am learning. SSD really helps this.
I/O or the lack of it would cause this too. The newer chips at AMD are inferior to the older onces per IPC. Things are true cores and not semi cores with shared cache and fpus. This would cause that issue for sure since the cache would constantly be depleted by the other cores.
Typing this on an AMD Phenom II x 6 core system with an ATI 7850 GPU. I got it in 2010 for $599 and it is a freaking 6 core with full virtualization at that price... with an Asus board!!... ok the gpu at the time was a ati 5750.
I do vmware workstation for linux and website testing. I need lots of cores!
An icore7 extreme with a non crippled bios would of nearly trippled the freaking price. Nvidia was pricing graphics cards at $1,000 before the latest Radeons x290 outperformed them for half the price. This was before the Crypto minners rose the price up to $700 but still.
Right now ATT/AMD makes great value oriented solutions for cheapskates with the $499 walmart special since the gpu runs candy crush in Metro really well and basic office needs. I use the more powerful cpu;s.
As for shops. Hairyfeet here uses them at his shop exclusively due to value and price as he would ahve to charge more for his users. The vast majority of users are not yuppie gamers who make $70,000 a year nor advanced workstation cad engineers or video editors who want an icore7 extreme. For the secretary or grandma they are the best value.
I do however admit my system is showing it's age:-( Skyrim is not the best on ultra settings even with the recent video card. I would not want to play the latest Crysis either on this. But SWTOR, WOW, office, and VMWare workstation still work fine after I put in SSD pro drives and 16 gigs of ram.Cheap hardware virtualization rocks.
Firefox 3.6 was irritating but I still used it. IE 8 loaded quicker surprisingly but of course I would not use it as my main setc.
FF 4.0 did really support HTML 5 but it was sooo horrible. It was a shitty browser. IE 9 came out at the same time in 2011 and won tomshardware.com reward. It was a better browser. Chrome soon followed.
I switched to Chrome by summer 2011 after going back and forth with IE 9 and FF 5.0.
It is time to move on. IE once was the best browser too. Remember those days? Times change and things get stale. Yes FF is supporting more standards, but underneath its rendering engine is straight out of 2007 with no multiple cpu support, no multiprocessing, no low rights mode, no freaking sandboxing. It is ANCIENT.
I want to see it come back. I do admit its memory leaks make it somewhat usable but like IE 5 before it we had to use because it was the best we had compared to alternatives. FF saved us form IE 6 but as we move into 2014 it no longers serves peoples needs.
Yeah with security holes and no updates I wont trust it.
No I do nto mean this as flamebait seriously. But without a team and researchers I am weary of non supported browsers. Yes if you run Windows Russian hackers have all sorts of nasties.
I had my cam get turned on a week ago after imaging my computer and running updates and just freaking opening an up to date Ie for the first time to download software.... sigh I had to re-image afterwards.

Interesting how you play down Android vulnerabilities whilst playing up iOS ones.
It is slashdot. What do you expect?
Go to www.neowin.net and you see Linux get slammed as insecure and obsolete and then read about what Balmer had for lunch as exciting pro MS news etc.
Pick your poison?
Linux is sooo secure. Ask any slashdotter.
One told me Windows was 100% secure as a limited user and privilege escalations were impossible because of security feature X.
Guess what? They exist in the wild and their are ways around things.
Oh please.
Anyone can write an escalation ad on a mobile website and make it pretend it is an os update and have it installed that way.
If this were Windows Phone everyone would be screaming INSECURE.
