on my previous thinkpad (t61), in windows, hibernate only worked for the first couple of months. at some point after an update it failed completely (suspend worked 75% of time). my favourite windows feature was automagically switching from suspend to hibernate inside my backpack and failing. I'd sometimes come home open a bag and find my computer screaming for cold air. good times.
fortunately, i only kept windows on it for sentimental porpoises (and other sea mammals). In Ubuntu/Debian, I never had the problem. But then again, i almost never used hibernate, only suspend.
for those cases, use suspend. my applications rarely work after a hibernation but survive suspend (mostly) without any harm. in my case, it's the fact that i have/home on NFS that does it.
although i don't deal with java at all, i do write a fair amount of python scripts to help me manage our infrastructure. i originally started with eclipse+pydev but moved to Komodo and then to pycharm. as a (primarily) network guy i require a lot of handholding from my IDE. i've found komodo a lot poorer at that than eclipse. then i discovered pycharm and haven't looked back. i haven't found anything (on gnu/linux) that comes even close to it. i'm interested in what you don't like about it. (apart from speed - i use it with jdk off a remotely mounted volume so my particular installation is especially slow)
as a happy user of their other product - pycharm, i don't understand the concept of not needing updates in an IDE. at least in python, i expect the IDE to understand the new features in latest versions of python. so normally, i'd expect software updates every time there's a new language version.
could someone explain to me why updates might not be needed for a java ide?
i'll go one step further. i faced the same situation a few months ago when my 2nd child was about to be born. I searched and searched and bought a panasonic lx100 camera for one single reason - 4K video. i have nothing to easily play it on (at full resolution) BUT by the time my child is a teenager, 1080p will be a laughable resolution. the camera is "coat/handbag pocketable" and produces OK photos + excellent videos at a reasonable price.
when i look at VHS videos of my childhood, they suck donkey balls (qualitywise). my dad's childhood 8mm videos look better. that's why i decided to make 4K videos as soon as I could afford it.
I'd be willing to pay for Netflix or even Evilzone Prime membership if they continued shows like Stargate Universe, Terra Nova, Star Trek, etc.. There is too much cheap and stupid scifi but everything that's worth watching (for me) stops after a season or two.
makes me wonder what percentage of slashdotters still understand your reference... LI oh shit oh shit oh shit LO phew
also, who the f thought RED was the best default colour for a boot menu? it looks like a freaking error before you even start booting up the OS. personally, i find lilo just as uncomfortable to use as grub2. to me, grub 1 was the pinnacle of bootloader usability (blue colour, yay!)
it used to be the desktop os with kernel's CONFIG_HZ set to 100 instead of 250. but since ubuntu 12.04, the server installation CD image carries the 'generic' kernel and not the 'server' one any more. so ubuntu server IS the same as ubuntu desktop.
different options in 'tasksel' during installation does not make it a different OS in any way.
i'd have to keep google's cookie for that to work. i have 'self-destructing cookies' in firefox and 'tab cookies' in chromium so every time i close youtube tab, all related cookies get deleted. i do not wish to be tracked by google just so that their damn videos don't autostart
i only administer the underlying servers, not the DB itself, but in the past i witnessed a lot of moves from Oracle to EnterpriseDB (commercial postgresql). I don't think the opensource version of postgresql (at the time) was a suitable replacement for some of the more advanced features oracle offered.
he's brave enough not to do the bill clinton thing and dip himself in even more media shit. although i've no idea who he is, i think he chose the best possible path by owning up this early. there's nothing news reporters love more than uncovering silly lies.
I've worked for a company where "free" philosophy was felt from top to bottom. yet even there, we were running MS office in Wine on every desktop. there is just no way of functioning in corporate world without it. as you said, the lock in is complete. the only way to successfully use open/libre-office is to export your documents to pdf before emailing them to clients.
the only other place i've ever come across who sent us.ODT documents was LINX (london internet exchange). other than them, every single time i sent somebody a document in ODT format, i got an email back asking for a different format. that is the unfortunate reality we live in today.

i can never find a single reason to go back to cisco (from juniper). it's just an expensive, awkward and scary experience.
or do we call it the church of apple now?
i hear hissing sounds from the apple camp.

patience.. the beginning of episode one looks cheap. then it picks up.
oops, forgot about firefly

are you familiar with Leonard Poettering?

no, this will stop only what chrome deems unnecessary. not everything.
now how about those damn autoplaying youtube videos? flash or no flash, they still autoplay and then play the next one, next one, next one, etc..
that's a stupid comment. if you stand next to a nuclear reactor, you can't tell you'll be dead in 2 days.

this is the first time i've seen somebody confuse their with they're instead of there. now i've seen it all.

their product is godsend if you're a contractor/admin. but as a user/customer, there are nicer graves to lie in.

my favourite reaction to this incident is:
"2 years of paying $19 a month... Now I'm finally getting f**ked"
maybe he isn't american and therefore doesn't hyphenate everything
