There is a very simple that Oracle (and the likes) only support RedHat. And that's because every linux distribution is different. Different libraries, different tools. And sometimes something that worked with gcc 2.95 won't with 3.3.
It's completely reasonble for Oracle to only provide tech support for one distribution. It allows their technicians to quickly diagnose the problem instead of trying to figure what's on the system.
Software written for one distro should normally run on others, but no one is obligated to do so. And they aren't wackos if they chose not to.
They're not made up statistics, but should be common knowledge for someone working with large amounts systems. The more pieces you have, the greater the odds you'll have pieces failing sooner.
According to the list of top 500 computers, there are only six computers from before 2000 in the Top 100. One from 1997, one from 1998, the rest from 1999. The oldest one in the list is from 1996, and it's all the way down at #314.
Most people don't (at least shouldn't) rant about that which they nothing of.
Are refering to the little Canadian 'Cube' movie, wherein a bunch of people are stuck inside a giant cube-like death-trap? Cause that was a great little movie. The sequel " Cube Squared: Hypercube" sucked though.
Beer being drunk for breakfast would have been far different from a beer you get in a pub now. A common breakfast staple of armies throughout the renaissance was "smalle beere", a much weaker form beer. One of the reasons beer was popular was because it contained Hops, which was an important medicinal herb.
States like California get a huge chunk of their energy from eastern Canadian provinces like Quebec(mainly generated from barely sub-arctic dams). If power can be send from northern Canada to the states, then it seems reasonable to assume that any US location is in range of Nevada.
If you had actually read the article then why did you not pick up on such a gross error? It's not like it was subtly hidden. Did you not notice the error when you proofread you submission? Did you even proofread your submission? If not, why not?
I go to the theatre because I can see some movies earlier than at home. For the rest I prefer watching them at home, which is even more more of a social experience, as people don't bitch and complain if there any talking.
How many stock splits has Unisys had since 1978. That's 24 years, so I'd wager few. Especially over the last 10 years, tech companies have been splitting shares like crazy.
With two 2:1 stock splits that 80% loss is gone. With three, Unisys's value has doubled.
Not too mention a number of cosmonauts too. I seem to recall that one big soviet rocket not only took out the crew, but a number of ground crew and scientists.
You mean like the potential for abusing driver's licenses, SSN cards, health-care cards, birth certificates? There are already plenty of national or state/provincal cards out there. Abuse happens, but obviously they're good for something or they wouldn't be here.
And it's a shame too. All that crap is piling up in garbage dumps. Instead of a junked quality printer that laster 5 years, the dump has 5 printers that each lasted a year. 5 times the wasted material.
You arguement seems to be that because something is good it isn't dangerous. Needless to say, this is faulty logical.
Take, for example, the previous example of fission. A previous poster stated that fission is an inherently dangerous procedure. You countered that assertion by stating that it is used to provide cheap, clean power. However, that does not change the fact that it is more inherently dangerous (at in terms of short-term catastrophic failure) than other power forms. A failure at a coal power plant does not have the possibility of adversely affecting the lives and health of people within a radius measured in the hundreds of miles.
Just because something makes you a target doesn't mean that people don't do it. Organized crime still seel drugs don't they. Police are finding large scale software/music/movie piracy all over North America. 30,000 thousand CDs here, 25,000 thousand DVDs there. There have been cases of white-box computer manufacturers loading computers with pirated software.
That being said, I do agree that copy protection is simply to stop casual piracy. The other kind can't be stopped that easily.
That 85 and 60 years after the two wars, munitions are still exploding and killing people throughout Europe. That this is long-lived (if malicious) technology.

Though looking at what this guy managed to steal, $200 grand? Over 5 years that's $40k a year. And he is going to rot in jail for 6 years.
Ah. But I'm wagering the 40k/year was tax free. Then it's actually no too bad.

Yes.
An (extremely unlikely) critical nuclear accident that takes out a couple farms and a village is better than one that that takes out half a city.

Uhm. What does free software have to with religion? Did the previous poster even mention the religion of the concerned party?
I would really like to hear your <snicker>logic</snicker>.
War on RIAA plan, youcan model it after the successful War on drugs, War on poverty, War in Iraq, and War on Terrorism.
You mean model it after a flop, a failure, a farce, and a fuck-up?
You mean something like a cartel. Cartel's are fundamently unstable, and are almost certain to eventually implode.

In 1927 did americans really think that Germany would go to war with them again?
"I'm gonna built me a real big rocket and fly to the moon". Try giving that line to bank and see how much money they loan you.
$20 million is a lot considering what it's for.

Is Google better than calling Sun and saying 'My server crashed; fix it now'. Google's good, but it's no match for qualified, expert support.

You're allowed to quote from books. Up to one full chapter I believe.

Because coal needs to be mined. A dangerous and environmentally unfriendly activity. The shit is already on hand, why not just use it?
With a proper plant with proper filters, I can't imagine that burning shit is going to be problem. Can't be anyworse than having lie on the ground.
