Sorry, but no. ESXi runs a custom proprietary kernel called "vmkernel" and has been this way since 1.0. You may be confused by the fact that up to v4.1 there was a Linux virtual machine running on top of it dubbed the "service console". Since v5.0 it has been removed. But even before, the Linux OS you mention is not the one that runs on the metal.
Nowadays ESXi has no Linux running whatsoever, but there is a busybox shell that may make it look like so.
Please note that I am not taking sides on whether the GPL has been infringed. Just saying that the Linux kernel is positively not there.
"O sigilo das comunicações dos usuários da internet não pode ser violado. Provedores de acesso à internet serão obrigados a guardar os registros das horas de acesso e do fim da conexão dos usuários pelo prazo de seis meses, mas isso deve ser feito em ambiente controlado."
which translates roughly as:
"The user's communication privacy cannot be violated. ISPs will be obliged to keep track of access and connection hours for six months, but this must be done in a controlled environment".
So yeah, I think it is pretty good. No URLs, no content, just connection times. Six months so your IP can be tied to a person in case the police needs to come after you, but no content and no invasion. Sounds fair.
It is basically the same deal over and over. We need to reduce complexity in programming, so we build yet another abstraction layer. We hide the complexity from the programmer and deal with it in the infrastructure, thus creating more bugs and worse performance. The bugs get (very) slowly fixed and the performance issues are compensated by evolving hardware, which takes a few years. Such is life. If it were not for some initiatives like this one, SAP would be written in machine code.
That is not to say that this is the solution to all problems, neither that this is even the best alternative for anything, but it's just the way that software evolves, and as such, time will tell.
The technology, which has already sparked interest from companies such as BT and IBM, is already in its first phase and boasts an impressive 2.5 terabytes capacity, double the capacity of the London phone system.
Meh, my hard drive can store almost that much already.
You're kidding right? Obviously the writer meant that there is 2.5TB/second capacity. We are not talking about storage, we are talking about bandwidth. No one has 2.5TB/second bandwidth in use right now.
He most certainly is. But the summary does not say TB/s, just Terabytes. One would expect a "nerd news" website to watch out for this kind of mistake.
But then again, typos, dupes, slashvertisements, and daily "not news", who am I kidding...
I bet he's using 'dick inches', an international standard for measuring penises. Those inches are actually smaller than the ones on the tape measure so that everyone has a penis that's over 9 inches in length.

Dear aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all

My IQ goes up to eleven.

And an index. What the hell, give 'em all five fingers.
ROFL, I just spit my coffee all over my desk.
And here I thought that no one remembered that anymore.
Kudos to you, sir. Five-digit Slashdot UID megabonus included.
Not if the communication is not encrypted and there is any traffic at the time.
This is where I back your assumptions with the oblig. xkcd.
oh! Whoosh for me then!
(heads on to Wikipedia)
The way I see it, since it is a logical implication and not a condition, it would be better to use the "implies that" sign:
4+3+2=x+2 => 4+3+2-2=x => 4+3=x => 7=x
But I teach UNIX at my University, so I must be wrong.
You divided by zero in step five.
Unfortunately, I'm sure I'll be getting this in as chain letters for years to come.
What are these "letters" you talk about? Is this some new social network, or a new kind of e-mail?
(Yeah I know, off-topic, mod me down to hell, I can burn some...)
No, it's just another crapware.
Actually 8,191 for those of us who like our integers signed.

Kind of... but just a quick note, you're referring to Antitrust, not Hackers.
I'm not even a sports fan, and even I know that people who follow sports do so for entertainment, excitement, and camaraderie.
Right on. I'm an engineer, and I don't use Twitter, but trying to make sense of things that are purely emotional is bullshit.
On a lighter note, that comment of yours has to be the most Sheldon-Cooper-esque comment on Slashdot right now.
Mod parent funny.
You, sir, made my day.
And twice the price of human blood.
IMNSHO (part-time pro musician), to some extent, it will. Pretty much the same "muscle memory" you get from playing the drums on GHWT and RB.
Guitars, however, are a totally different thing. The fake guitars don't resemble anything life-like, at least for the left hand.

Hey, towels are the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have!
YES, this IS ironic. Look it up.
