Too true. I live outside the US, and can get books air-freighted in from Amazon in the US for significantly less (half the price, sometimes a quarter of the price) of the shelf price at the local Borders. That's a pretty severe sign of price-gouging.

Nor does Canonical charge for operating system upgrades. Nor does Canonical drop all support for older yet paid for and still working PC hardware as quickly; Ubuntu 11.04 needs less than half the RAM of Windows 7.
yet it DOES less than a quarter of the things that win 7 can.
Let's see now...
Runs the Zeus botnet: No.
Runs banker trojans to siphon money from my bank account: No.
Has DRM: No.
Runs spyware/pr0n popups/fake anti-malware: No.
You're right. Dammit Shuttleworth, I want my money back!
Oh, right, it doesn't even do that either.

Personally I think this is out of the purview of a terminal, but whatever.
Within its 'purview'? Where do you think you are, some fucking regency costume drama? This is a terminal emulator, not some fucking Jane fucking Austen novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your router with a lubricated ethernet cable!
Use Kitty instead. Having said that, clickable links don't always work correctly.
That is, unfortunately, true of pretty much everything that Kitty provides as a value-add for Putty. Everything almost, but not quite, works. I really, really wanted to like Kitty (it adds a ton of neat features to Putty), but after about two weeks of frustration I went back to Putty.
You see, even if you run Postgres on a 64-bit platform, you're limited to XIDs of 2^31, or 2 billion rows. Now, to prevent this causing a problem, Postgres' VACUUM process will start running when you get close to 1 billion, killing your performance. Of course there are a dozen possible ways to workaround this, but none are trivial or work perfectly and consistently. This is postgres' biggest scalability limitation, ahead of even the imperfect replication options available.
Really? I'm from Europe and I've only seen once in my entire life, in Norway.
Same here, and I've never seen one. Maybe the OP, like Bush, was talking about New Europe rather than Old Europe. It's quite possible that they were popular in places where tractors are ministers and people sit down to a dinner of boiled radiators.
Countries such as Germany are already under the influence of jellyfish. We should look for distinctive jellyfish sting marks on the necks of their lawmakers who voted for the nuclear power ban.
At least they only under the influence of jellyfish. My country (UK) is run by them.
This is now RFC 6092, but your comments are still valid. It's a pretty scary read, things like:
By DEFAULT, a gateway MUST respond with an ICMPv6 "Destination Unreachable" error code 1 (Communication with destination administratively prohibited), to any unsolicited inbound SYN packet
because, you know, port-scanners have to be given a chance too. There's a bunch of other longing-for-the-good-old-days 1980s hippie-isms in there as well, the only thing missing is a requirement that we all hold hands and sing kumbaya:
I think the point is to do away with NAT entirely.
The question is why that's considered to be a good thing.
It's not a good thing or a bad thing, it's an IETF article of faith. To the IETF, NAT has been an abomination upon the earth for as long as it's existed, to the extent that they've designed some protocols to deliberately break NAT (why do you think IPsec via IKEv1 and AH was so hard to get through a NAT?) in the hope that it would discourage its use (of course the exact opposite happened and NAT discouraged the other protocol's use). To the IETF, NAT doesn't exist, and where they're forced to acknowledge its existence, it's only to the extent that it has to die. The histrionics over NAT in some IETF RFCs would be almost comical if they weren't so sad.
I work for a sizeable (> 50K people) distributed organisation. On World IPv6 Day we disabled IPv6 on everything where it could be disabled (which in some cases required re-imaging machines where there was no way to turn it off completely), and disconnected/shut down anything where IPv6 couldn't be disabled. We had absolutely zero problems or incidents during the entire IPv6 day.
It's so simple when you think about it. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about.
'Cloud' security has already been used extensively in the NHS. It was mandated for the 'standard' installations of PACS (X-ray viewing) and a number of other results reporting systems. It has been a catastrophic failure.
Is any of this documented anywhere? Sounds like a good lessons-learned experience for other countries looking at going down this path.
See, it's all to do with the fact that while the zeros of a digital signal are smooth and pass through well, the ones can get caught and cause a data block, if the cable is of poor quality, or bent.
I've found that if I clean my cables every so often I don't get this problem. I'd recommend at least a yearly cleaning, perhaps timed to coincide with the annual shutdown of the Internet in early September to clean the lint out of the packet filters.
Did you try gnome's evince? it has a little known windows version, which is easy and very decent.
I looked at this a while back, it was over 30MB compressed so my guess is it's downloading a huge amount of emulation-layer code to make Windows look like Linux. Unfortunately this doesn't make it much of a lightweight viewer.
(Evince is a nice viewer, but it is rather tied to Gnome. That's not a complaint, but it does lead to some problems when moving it to Windows).
As it is, I used to use FoxIt, but that started to get bloaty and including oddball toolbars. So I switched to PDF-Xchange. I'm about to switch again (Sumatra, maybe?) because PDF-Xchange takes far too long to render pages with lots of graphics.
Have you tried STDU Viewer? I switched to it after Foxit started trying to emulate Acrobat, it's small, lightweight, and reasonably good at rendering stuff, although a bit slow on page transitions sometimes. Another thing that impressed me was that I sent in a feature request, got a reply within 24 hours, and it was added in the next update.
And neither FoxIt nor PDF-Xchange render vector content with anti-aliasing correctly
Where can I get a sample PDF with this? I've just tried it with STDU Viewer and it seems to render at least diagonal lines with antialiasing properly, but if there's some test PDF that really shows it up I'd be interested in trying it.

It was a long-drop, it's taken this long to reach the bottom.

... "Michael 'Ingres' 'Postgres' 'VoltDB' Stonebraker says 'MySQL doesn't scale'".
The proper term in Spanish (and Portuguese) would be "Americanos",
I thought it was "gringos".
Some people seem to live in la-la-land.
That's certainly been true of the IETF for NAT (specifically, they're in "la-la-la-I'm-not-listening-la-la-la land"), but also for IPv6.
Some of their suggestions are totally brain-dead. E.g. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-simple-security-09

Isn't moving to the cloud for security a bit like moving to heroin to deal with your nicotine addiction?

Because they can. Now go back to tending crop in Farmvile, Peon.
I suggest you don't pee-on the crops you're tending. Especially in the electronic world. You may be electrocuted.
No, do pee on them! Pee has electrolytes. It's what plants crave.
