I don't need no centralised fault tolerant robust state of the art cooling system. The nuclear reacters might need it, but not me. the fans that come with my Dell PC work just fine. I 've got two of them. oh yeah! And I have got an AC duct right over my Monitor and no I don't live and work in the desert.
Noise!! what about the noise from the fans and the Harddisk and the CDROM
Well never heard them. I have got GNR and Metallica singing for me at full throttle on my sound blasters.
I don't even hear the door bell or the car horn or the cow's moo, leave alone the odd guy shouting "The house is on fire". Ah! silence at last
Just couple of years back workers, especially IT workers were paid exorbitant salaries. Though I was not part of those fortunate millions, I could not help wonder and feel jealous when people in the IT industry and its ancillary were enjoying life as it came their way. Good pay, relaxed life, big plans and what not. Then reality hits everybody and there is chaos all around.
Employers had realised that they were not making profits and there were a lot of loose threads lying around. A part of this process was the layoffs and those close to the higher levels - people responsible for taking decisions got to keep their jobs. Sometimes even they had to take the brunt of it. Most of the times the decisions were taken in haste and scapegoats were always found.
A lot of prunning was done. Redundant jobs were done away with. Salaries were looked at with a questionable brow. Some lost their salaries altogether, a few of them had theirs cut. Maybe what we see today is the true picture. Though time will only be the judge of it, I think we should look at things around us with caution. Prepare for the bad times.
I think they were trained by a guy called "MA" and were called MA's army. The trainer seemed to be an alchemist who used to cook up some really effective juices/syrups for his team. Could be the reason why Chinese athletes come out with flying colors.
Maybe it tastes like my grandma's medicine. tastes yucky, but sure is effective.
"By holding out on the announcement till all vendors had a patch ready they probably would have saved a few servers from attack."
The register had a report on the goofup Red hat linux made by unintentionally giving out this vital information even before their counterparts had their fixes ready.
Intentional or unintentional, the funny thing here is that red hat has the fix while others don't. Isn't OSS supposed to cooperate/help with each other?
