i miss the old internet - half of it was under_construction(.gif) - half had + MIDI file playing in the background - and the remaining 4 halves were porn in 256 colours
everything was nicely formatted with tables and centered. the fanciest of webpages even had comic sans.
i've noticed that it's not just ads that do that in the US. i hate it when i middle click links (to US news sites) in slashdot summaries and then have to quickly go through all the new tabs to see which ones have the annoying women talking about something i've no interest in. it's always a stupid video in a sidebar (completely unrelated to the article). wtf america?
i'm willing to sound like a fool for a minute (instead of lifetime). enlighten an unknowing fellow. does "space getting diffuse" mean that eventually nothing new will form, everything old will run out of energy and previously formed bodies will get further from each other OR does it mean everything will get diffused on (sub)atomic level (i.e. fall apart and be spread in space)?
secondly, will gigantic black holes sucking up galaxies and spitting out matter not create clouds dense enough to form new bodies? (i'm talking about jets that some black holes have)
and this, my dear fellow slashdotters, is why we need more platforms. we NEED people to run windows phones, blackberries with neutrinoOS, android with enforcing selinux, ubuntu phones with tight apparmor, ios with integrated lawyers, tizen with something else, etc.. we all know about eggs and baskets. apps should be written in some stupid interpreted javascript crap that works on all platforms, run preferably in containers/jails/zones/whatever.
according to this, the new processor would be slightly slower than your old one. plus, your old one can be easily overclocked. http://cpubenchmark.net/compar...
what i DO hope this toy achieves, is nervousness among OEMs. those shittards who still spew out 15.4 inch screens at 1366x768 need to be shaken a bit. full hd should be the minimum, 3x2 ratio preferable. and while we're dreaming, why not dream big - the year of gnu/linux desktop could be upon us!
if he's anything like me, it's virtual machines. i have about 50 virtualbox disk images, about 100 linux containers and since i've enabled deduplication i've become extrely lazy and use duplicity instead of hardlinks for my files. e.g. i have same photos in ~/Pictures/by_occassion/whatshisname_wedding as i have in ~/Pictures/by_date/2013-06. i know it's bad practice but if the FS can deal with it, why not?
i also agree with the parent. oracle develops their ZFS with much needed features like encryption, while we, free software users, are still stuck on minor adjustments to v28 ZFS because almost all developer effort is concentrated on implementation of openzfs among all the OSs. that's not development of ZFS. it's development of implementation.
OpenZFS should've dumped the name long time ago and gone its own way. the name just confuses people. when openzfs gets encryption completely incompatible with oracle zfs', it'll just lead to a lot of problems when people try to import pools from solaris on illumos/linux (or vice versa).
i don't think oracle is EVER going to publish sources to their ZFS. i do hope btrfs stabilises soon. i'll happily switch (a few years after early adopters).
i once accidentally enabled automatic security updates on a production servers (cloned installation). the next day, we had fun investigating why mysql servers (daemons) restarted in the middle of a busy day. i ended up with a first&last warning in written form from my management.
1. most people don't like wearing earplugs inside their house (your PSU sounds like a horny elephant) 2. is electricity free where you live?
i have several hp microservers - the oldest, N36L, consumes 0.06A when idling. my newest is N54L and that raises the consumption to a whopping 0.09A when idling. i can't hear the fan from more than a metre away unless it's hot in the room and it spins up.
because handheld scanners used by gate staff and sometimes stewardesses (not all of airport is covered by wifi). if there were no barcodes, only printed text, anybody could "fix" their home printed boarding pass to give themselves priority boarding/business class seat/etc. this is a way for them to verify the text matches the code.
finally a homosexual man who can reply calmly and rationally. i wish there were more non-militant gays where i live.
about the topic discussed earlier, I think homosexuality is a naturally occurring phenomenon that becomes more prominent during overpopulation. i.e. nature's way to defend resources. google for J.B.Calhoun's research into mice overpopulation from early 50s or J.R.Hammock's from 70s. mind you, we're going to f*** nature up anyway with the current research of same sex reproduction.
what if all attributes of object world.person(n="anonymous coward") are simply reassigned to a newly created object nirvana.person(n="anonymous coward")? or in your case samsara.person(n="anonymous coward")
class world is still left with unused object (to be garbage collected) and a new object gets created in class heaven. your supremo is the software itself.
does the different nomenclature make it more believable?
i'm sure psychiatrists have a word for it. somebody more knowledgeable please help me. what is it called when somebody makes other people do the thing they feel guilty about, to feel less guilty themselves (because others are now doing it too)?
i've had Macbook Pros. that's not a computer, it's a fashionable legburner with built in pipe organ (as soon as you do anything even remotely resembling work). that thing just can't cool itself and stay quiet. i also tried running gnu/linux on it but the story was the same. it either throttles itself to a crawl or wheezes like an old asthmatic.
i'm all for poisoning the available information. tag yourself in pictures of random people, create multiple twitter/fakebook/g+ accounts with your (possibly real) name but where everything else is a bit off. and for f*cks sake, do not keep the same online accounts for too long for sentimental reasons. it's ok to have a high UID on slashdot even though you've been on slashdot for 10+ years. the feeling of prestige in an online community is what feeds this doxing phenomenon.
or take the opposite approach and have multiple online personas. the trick is to first create a backstory for each. just making up a name and age isn't enough.
i think the next product should be iSland. with that much cash, they can just build or buy an artificial island, declare it a new iCountry, base themselves on that iSland and pay taxes only to themselves. I'm sure amazon, google and microsoft would gladly incorporate themselves in iCountry for some token tax.
wouldn't canada (or anybody) be safer without a friend who goes around the world stirring shit at every possible opportunity?
i.e. if they had United States of South Canada for a neighbor, i'd imagine the south canadian (mounted) navy wouldn't just run around the world rattling guns and meddling in people's shit.
in an ideal world, in addition to GPL, i would like a GPrL (general private license) that would:
1) give the buyer source code and right to make and use derivative work 2) give the buyer the right to sell derivative work but pay commission to original author - original author must specify fixed sum or percentage during original sale. original author must specify if they want commission from derivatives of derivatives - i.e. commissions going all the way up the chain. 3) not give the buyer the right to give original or derivative away for free 4) give the buyer the right to freely give the one copy of the software to another party provided they themselves stop using it alternatively: 5) give the buyer the right to change to a more restrictive license of derivative work as long as clause 2 is rediscussed

hello fellow former oracle customer
your question is in the area of: "you claim the sun is bright. show me your sources!!!"
his claim is as common a knowledge as water being wet, earth being round, etc..

is Ellen Pao a woman or a man dressed as one? this is a real question, not a joke. i'm too afraid to google it; some images are hard to forget.
