You didn't even have to RTFA to see that it doesn't immediately limit you. It seems from the information available that you could go over the limit briefly if necessary without there being a problem.
Well racist troll or not I feel compelled to point you don't know what you're talking about. I'm native of the UK, currently living in Spain, and I can tell you your cab driver doesn't know shit.
Since it joined the EU Spain has received massive investment from the EU, which it has used to modernise in all sorts of ways and has gone from a stagnant low GDP economy to being one of the leading economies in Europe.
The UK on the other hand has benefited greatly from having to take on a modicum of human rights law from the EU which its leaders (and popular press) have hated but IMHO have been a huge boon to human rights in the country. Of course the UK government is doing its best to trample all over those rights still but are repeatedly slapped down when they over-step the mark.
But then there's 'no' (obviously no system has no risk) risk of interception of your public keys compromising your communication, which I inferred was the point of your original comment:)
I've been using Linux as my primary desktop for about 9 years, and I worked with it for a good few years before that on development servers, so I'd say I'm reasonably experienced with it too.
Personally I want a desktop that works out of the box without needing faffing around to get it set up, and so far Ubuntu is the only distro I've found that offers that.
Yes the changes they introduce can be a bit jarring (replacing vim with vim-tiny for example) but my god man, you have heard of Google haven't you?
On inittab specifically SysV init is horribly outdated, running the init process in serial is stupid. Fedora and Debian are also moving (have moved in the case of Fedora?) to using Upstart which is the new(ish) Ubuntu init daemon.

Not sure it's preloading but I've not been noticing the delay this time round. Certainly seems much faster

Do you mean Dust? If so it seems ok, though I've not run it for very long.

Don't know sorry.

Yes
There's not a huge amount of shiny new toys but this release seems *much* more stable. Can't think of any regressions I've noticed this time round, which was very much not the case with Intrepid which was bloody awful (and Hardy which wasn't much better).
Looks like someone finally listened on the stability front. I was close to dumping Ubuntu personally.
I have to disagree, I think that would be immensely stupid of them. I think they'll just use it to try to funnel users butting up against its limits towards full Oracle. If they kill it they lose that potential sales channel.
Well, with FOSS it doesn't. It depends on whether the maintainers require copyright assignment.
In any case, the authors own the code (unless they reassign the copyright) and everyone else can do whatever they want with it provided they comply with the license.

Indeed. They claim that the click-throughs they get aren't worth it, then say they couldn't live without them. So they pretty much by definition *are* worth it.
I don't envy them though, providing online news is a horrible way to try to earn revenue.

I know nationalism isn't racism (although actually they are very often strongly intertwined).
But "your averge diaper-headed cafe bomber that you find driving around a cab in NYC." clearly is.

Well I live here, still have to 'work' ;)
But I can often smell our neighbours' cannabinoids. (Barcelona btw)
You don't think that having functionality removed from something you've bought, after the fact, is a problem?
They certainly don't need any AJAX or JS in general, but linux.org in particular could look a little less like a Geocities page.

Yes because a 1 billion Euro fine is going to have a big effect on an economy with a GDP of around 9.5 trillian Euros.
Bah :/
Why is /. defaulting me to 'Post Anonymously'?
Surely you transport your keys and certs out of band?
If not then you're somewhat missing the point of encryption!
We fear change!

Yes but they still *own* it. Everyone else is using it under license.
Sure, but there was an implication that MyISAM is faster too.
Personally I use a mix of the two. InnoDB mainly for tables that kept crashing under MyISAM ;/

It's not necessarily true that MyISAM is faster actually.

The question in the summary is a bit stupid IMHO.
Why would the fork have to stop supporting InnoDB?

And the fact that when we refer to an eclipse it's usually an eclipse of the Sun didn't even occur to them I'm sure ;)
The base IDE maybe, but it simply can't compete with Eclipse's plugin ecosystem, which was after all the whole point of the Eclipse project.

Just like all other records built by sampling? :p
The only difference here is that the source material is from YouTube rather than crate-digging, and so comes with attached video...
I've only seen the first two so far, but I though the first one, I forget the name, was worse than Beast with a Billion Backs.
