Oh Christ this. That N.K. Jemisin book reads like a high school junior English essay. It's absolutely awful.
Rewind to 2016: If Seveneves, or Ancillary Mercy could not beat that author in 2016 there is something right wrong.
I tried Hugo awards finalists for the final time in 2017. - Becky Chambers, reads like a teenage diary. - N.K. Jemisin still reads like a high school junior English essay. - The Liu books are pure waffle.
I would probably be an Oracle "fan boy". Ksplice is not new. They "bought" it a few years ago, one of the main reasons it took so long forTorvald's kernel to get hot kernel patching.
Ksplice will only update the OS, it cannot update drivers or firmware of any kind (Storage arrays, NICs, etc...) you still need to bounce for that. Learned the unfortunate way when we needed to update drivers for a buggy as be damned big blue flash array. (Very recent history...)
Also as I RTFA, SELinux does not yet work with an Oracle DB. When it does it will be amazing, but it has not happened yet...
By any chance is anybody else beginning to, against their own better judgement, stop caring about this type of thing because there seems to be nothing we can do about it?
There is no justifiable excuse for this or prism etc.. etc.. but we are clearly powerless to do anything and I think my mind needs a defence mechanism.
I do not want to sound like I agree with what is happening, but I don't see how anybody could trust for anything else to happen.
Google's core business is advertising through the 'best' data gathering and best data indexing. That's what they do. Everything else is tertiary and transitory.
While I fully understand the anger and frustration of bloggers and users a like at this change in Terms and Conditions, I do not really have any sympathy either.
The bloggers in question were using a free platform to derive an income from arguably questionable sources. What do they believe their actual entitlement is here?
Anybody who gives control of their "business" to a third party is probably foolish. Anybody who gives control of their "business" to a third party and has no claim of ownership to it is probably foolish. Anybody who gives control of their "business" to a third party and has no claim of ownership to it and was not even paying the third party is probably foolish.
This really just PR nonsense. The majority of people will not notice and will continue to pirate anyway.
There is only one solution to piracy and it's a bloody easy one.
Stop with walled gardens and make everything available everywhere at the same time for a reasonable price. It's that fupping simple. I can fully understand why Hollywood's complete and utter lack of imagination and inability to consider anything new or original has resulted in them missing that memo.
I pay for netflix. It's reasonably priced and with a little effort I can access, on a very rare occasion, the American version if there is a specific need.
Shows like Dexter, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead and Breaking bad would get a far higher viewership and make far more ad and product placement revenue if they went out on on their own websites at the same time as they were televised. It's the future one way or another why go to so much hassle and expense to try and stop what will not be stopped until you simply give people what the want?
Yes we can do this ourselves and will probably continue to do so after this is launched. But this product is for the people who can't and don't organise their email inboxes and just keep 1000 unread messages all the time. Watch the video on the blog post. We are not Google's target demographic with this change.
Hi, WiFi is fairly ubiquitous across Europe, as are reasonably priced 3g data plans. Data and Laptop security would be my two concerns for you. Encrypt everything and backup all important project files as frequently as bandwidth allows. Use SSH or RDP and work on a remote server altogether if that's viable. Laptops will fall and go missing, it's a fact of life, plan for it in advance. Somebody mentioned a guest account for other users/beggars which is probably a good idea. Libraries are your best for peace and will probably have some internet access available. Don't expect everybody to think you're great because you're American, expect the opposite from some quarters. Expect to need to be able to cobble together some local languages, it's a courtesy if nothing else. Record everything you do and release it with a time delay to a blog or wait until end and write the how and why in to a book. Have a great trip I am rightly jealous.
It's fairly obvious what they are hoping to do. Same bloody thing they did to the web.
Try this tagline for size:
"Hi we are Mozilla and we aim to knock down walled gardens and remove the need to whore every last bit of your privacy just so you can call your mother every now and then"
I was genuinely interested in what RedHat were looking for and especially curious to see what the implied clever resume was.
This "article" is just bad form.
IMHO,games on those two platforms are very heavily geared towards females
Start of slow with some cooperative farmville or bubble witch saga and move towards Sim City (online coming) and WOW.
Violent confrontational games are feasibly going to cause you a headache if you push them too fast or strongly on your good lady wife.
Actually what ever happened to chess and snakes & ladders...?

WTF is wrong with these aware ceremonies?

It's only resting in our account...
That's what the headline should be. The negative comments are mostly bitter jealousy in all fairness.
Followed closely by the silence that it brings.
Seeing as Andy invented it in Copenhagen then clearly the MIT guys have just forgotten how the idea was actually devised....

And you won't beat it so you might as well play nice.
True Multi Tenancy for Oracle Databases will hurt a lot of other Database/Instance providers.
Salesforce needs 12c as much as Oracle needs a another sales guy. Period.

I get that, but how else do you expect an advertising company to act?

This is entirely accurate.
more centralised management of everything.
Why have three DBAs managing a single database when you can have 10 managing a 1,000?
Managed print services, Office online, more or less disposable laptops, cloud email, cloud active directory services etc.. etc...
There are too many people doing the jobs only a few are really needed for.
I think this centralisation will be bloody unfortunate for most of us.

I had painstakingly created labels and filters such as "social junk" that marked mail read upon arrival and were easy to delete.
I like this it's a good idea the inbox can fill with crud shockingly quickly.
This sort of incremental innovation shows that even email can still be improved and that people are looking at ways of doing improving it.

The experience and wisdom behind your comment warrants a much higher score.
