What are you going on about? My point is that cows eat grass all the time, from the shortly after they are born. The whole midwest is full of pasture land.
I can coexist quite well with Catholics who think my being gay is a sin; we can do good works together, have lunch, be friends. I can coexist quite well with Seventh Day Adventists who think alcohol is sinful, too. We can all be friends.
This is what I find rare - it seems most often that anytime someone expresses an opinion that it is sin, they immediately get branded as hateful bigots etc. Tolerance needs to go both ways.
Devops is even more than this, it also means applying common change management that is common in source code development to operational configuration, using tools like chef or puppet. It's scary how much "cowboy configuration" there is out there, and yet in the programming world, "cowboy coding" is frowned upon.
Oh man, I'm not the only one with that nightmare? Ha, and I didn't even finish college, I left early to start my own business. What should I care anyway? But I still get those nightmares. What's that math book under the bed? OH NOES!
Oh, Also, a friend of mine who actually read the proposed agreement, said the union contract was written in such a way that management could essentially rewrite it or walk - it was a horrible contract. It didn't do any favors for the union workers.
I usually don't like unions, but in this case, I think there was cancer all over the system and it just needed to be put down.
I live in a town affected by this - in fact, we are now the main hostess factory to begin production and our city is looking forward to the 250 to 300 jobs returning. The big point I always heard from the actual workers here, is that a lot of pension money was diverted, and most of the workers lost all of their retirement money. The striking unions figured it was better to just kill the company and hope for better management.
Of course, the new management is pretty much the same old people.. and they aren't hiring anyone who actually went on strike. Nice move there.
The best I can hope is that the silly union rules mentioned elsewhere in this thread are no longer there, which may allow for a more profitable business. I don't have any info on what the new job salaries are, or benefits, though. I would not be surprised if it is lower than before. Well, except for management.
Maybe, but I've never seen a buffet discourage its customers from eating more food.
I have worked a pizza place that asked a family not to come back. 4 people, and when we saw them come in the door, we put 5-10 pizzas in the oven to replace the buffet that was about to get decimated.
And now your web server has to do PHP processing on every page and every style sheet, so your load goes up. So you implement some caching. Now you have two problems.
If two people with makeshift bombs can cause a major city to go on lockdown, isn't the message to terrorists that a multi-city disruption -- say, shutting down from Boston to Philly -- wouldn't take very many people or that much coordination?
Well, the other major message could also be that the entire population of said city is going track you down, cooperate with law enforcement when needed, and when you are either dead or captured, go back to business as usual.

So what about people who are unable to have children, will they get offended by references to 'parent'?
This has gotten out of hand, definitely.
I would think it would be more offensive to "fork a child" ...
Or any OS on AWS, no need to get into OS wars on that point.

Well played.

lol Most cows have never even seen grass. Some have, sure. Mostly dairy cows, though.
WAT?

It's big business, grazing the cattle to fatten them up before slaughter.

You must find yourself offensive....

I clicked on this story just to find this.

Proof that the measures are protecting us from terrorism, right?!
Traditionally, it helps when the recipient has a sense of humor, too.

it's just big-boned.... :D
Sure, you can use a bad tool to do useful things, but why?
And now your web server has to do PHP processing on every page and every style sheet, so your load goes up. So you implement some caching. Now you have two problems.
3 problems.... php itself being one.

OTOH... Since that can't be recorded on a tape, it gets kinda messy.
all of the world's internet traffic could be transmitted via a single fiber.
Um, sure, that's easy.... but how long will it take?
