We've unfortunately been hosting our DEV and QA environments in Azure, and the service is absolutely horrible. We're getting MAXIMUM 3MB/s local storage speeds. Things reboot spontaneously. Things grind to a halt and need rebooting. This is by FAR the worse cloud provider around.
I'm shocked. Shocked and surprised. Surprised and confounded.
Come on people... this is the US. Who honestly believes a corporation will be held accountable for wreaking havoc on the environment? What's the environment done for us anyway? It's all about JOBS! Jobs and bribes. Bribes and revolving doors between government and business.
Seriously? Even Microsoft have abandoned C#. They're now pushing HTML5 and Javascript. Yes yes, there are some legacy apps out there written in C#. Good for them... they can figure out how to migrate to a language with a guarantee of long-term support, development, etc. As for Linux developers, there are plenty of languages without the baggage and threat of legal issues from a convicted monopolist.
Why stop killing people, when you can continue killing them, but cheaper and with less do-gooders whinging about human rights violations? Quick questions... it's the Christians who oppose euthanasia, correct?
I've given it a go, on and off. It's becoming usable. It appears to use motif or some god-aweful toolkit. But it's head and shoulders about the rest, from what I can tell.
Sadly, the rt-linux project is all but dead. http://lwn.net/Articles/617140... Unless this changes quickly, such linux-based projects will no longer be possible.
I'd push Postgresql to its limits, with an "impressively spec'd" machine ( ie > 100GB RAM, SSDs ) before purchasing anything else. This is more than enough for most people who think they need a data warehouse appliance. From there, I'd switch to Netezza, for a number of reasons, including Netezza being based on Postgresql ( so the porting effort is not *too* large ). It's also a LOT cheaper than other data warehouse appliances. The hardware is very impressive, and it's very simple to use and optimise. As for ETL tools, I avoid pre-packaged ETL tools like the plague. Roll something yourself - it's not that hard. If you're after some professional consultants, I work in this field. My blog: http://tesla.duckdns.org/... which has details of getting the ( free ) Netezza emulator VM working on Linux. My employer: http://www.smart-associates.bi...... we have an ETL framework that targets Netezza ( amongst other DBs ).
I've been building open-source classes for Forms, Datasheets, and Reports for many years now. Check out my stuff on CPAN:

I primarily use Gtk+ and Perl. The libraries on CPAN use Gtk2, but I've got Gtk3 ports ready to release now. The amazing advantage to moving to Gtk3 for me is the 'broadway' HTML5 backend.
Email me @ d.j.kasak.dk@gmail.com and I'd be happy to work with you on this.
- We live in a 4-dimensional universe, NOT a 3-dimensional one. Perhaps someone is forgetting time???
- A hypersphere is a 4-dimensional sphere, not a 3-dimensional one.
Also the idea that 'space is expanding' is absurd ( and this study perpetuates this idea by claiming they've discovered an explanation for it ). Space is not absolute; it's relative. To say that space is 'expanding' in this context means nothing. The RELATIVE distances of objects to each other may be changing. This is not the same thing as space expanding. Is there something *beyond* the furthest reach of space, that space is now approaching? It's a ridiculous thing to say.
Why the hell would anyone buy organic produce from China? People who choose organic are also usually choosing local produce, for similar reasons ( environmental impact ). Certainly I only buy local ( when I can't source the food from my own organic garden ).
What a stupid statement! Do you know what 'organic' is supposed to mean? If you have found ( God knows how you verified it ) some organic produce that had pesticide residue, you should report it and have the organic certification stripped.
The OP was asking about 'confiscating' *excess* wealth. No-one wants to take your Hummer ( well OK... I think these these should be banned too... but that's another dicsussion ).
It's a good question, and unfortunately for you, the answer that is in the US, there is a very strong culture of competition, accompanied with a disdain for helping others. Think 'reds under the bed'. Also note the stupid wank who posted 'fucking communist'. People like that are EVERYWHERE in the US - the whole social structure is decaying. Many people still buy the whole 'if we just remove all restrains on corporations and taxes, everything will be roses and lollypops'. It will take some very severe shocks to shake people out of this mentality... and frankly... very severe shocks is precisely what the US deserves. Let's see round 2 of the internetional financial market collapse...
I agree with a lot of what you're saying... however... his service wasn't *necessarily* for illegal copying. Sure, that's what it was mostly used for. But it's a pretty slippery slope when you expect service providers to actively prevent copyright infringement.

Exactly. What astute capitalist would waste their money on a proper cleanup when there is no more profiting to be had? Better to hire accountants to hide the money, preferably transferring the assets and risk and clean-up responsibility to some shelf company with $1 in the bank. If the US government has a problem with the radioactive waste sitting around, they can always make radiation-laden ammunitions and dump it on the next civilian population standing in the way of the empire.
Actually the Japanese were trying desperately to negotiate a surrender even before the FIRST use of WMD against them. The idea that WMD somehow prevented deaths or suffering is total bullshit. It was a matter of the US asserting itself as the dominant military power, and Japan was a soft enough target to cop 2 WMD attacks. Interesting how the victors frame their attrocities.
Understanding what's killing us early is quite a different thing from DOING something about it. I can tell you what's killing us early right now. Diet. Toxic chemicals - in particular inorganic ones. Lack of exercise. Quick Summary: Western society. Now that we know what's killing us early, what do we do to fix it?
What are you progressing towards then? Absolute depletion of your resources and destruction of the environment? You may call that progress, but only because you're not capable of critical analysis of what Fox News and friends tell you.
Maybe you should be thinking creatively? Maybe you should REDUCE your energy 'needs'? Maybe you should replace your energy generation with safe technology? I've seen how you Yanks build cars. Jesus Christ! Now you're going to start building nuclear ( sorry... new-clear ) reactors again? And, using a Westinghouse design. OMFG! By the way... where's your million-year 100% safe waste dump this time? Not still that active volcano Dubya was pushing for?
They allow Israel to maintain their apartheid, terrorist state. The US has no problem with terrorism. In fact it trains terrorists - Israelis, the Taliban, and let's not forget the 'School of Americas' in Latin America, where they STILL train them en-masse.
While I accept what you say about the Taliban, I think it's equally important not to mistake the reason why the US are involved there. It's certainly not because the Taliban harboured terrorists. That actually makes you a 'special friend' of the US in many circumstances. It's not even because in this particular case, the terrorists they were harbouring happened to attack the US. It's because Afghanistan is sitting smack in the middle of Russia, Iran, China, Pakistan. It's geopolitical importance can't be understated. The US couldn't give a flying fuck about whatever atrocities were being committed there by the regime they left in charge, nor whatever atrocities are being committed there by the Taliban OR the US troups, OR the 'Nothern Alliance' ( who are just as bad as the other 2 ), nor whatever atrocities will be committed by whoever is left standing when the US are finally chased out with their tails between their legs. In a slightly less fucked-up world... sure... some benign superpower could step in and remove the Taliban without killing 1/2 of the civilian population in the process, then somehow leave the country gracefully and watch a vibrant new democracy evolve. This is NOT that world. The US is NOT that benign superpower. This war is NOT just, and nothing good will come of it.

'Researchers' from Israel? Hmmm ... forgive me if I don't trust them. Israel, and Israeli 'searchers' work closely WITH the NSA ... not AGAINST it.

They need to quit launching things into space and concentrate on cleaning up their nuclear waste which is leaking into my ocean.
