Most people on Slashdot think evading taxes is immoral based on the fact that it's an exploit in the tax laws that only the rich can afford to do. If it were possible for anyone and everyone to avoid paying taxes, I don't think anyone would mind. We're all just pissed off that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and taxation is supposed to help balance that out.
If everyone could avoid paying taxes, everyone would mind since there will be no money available for the common wealth. That is the downside about not living alone on an island.
Depends on the aim of this course. If it is about Linux as an OS, filesystems and the shell are important components. Learning how commands connects via pipes is telling something about the underlying OS. I didn't understand from the question it is a kernel internals course. This is left to the original poster to decide what to do with suggestions. Or, maybe it is just about how to use it. However, I still believe the above suggestions are much more closer to Linux than other involving LAMP, GUI and all this stuff.
Command line usage and basic shell scripting is a must. Emphasize on pipe usage, quick and dirty scripting right on the spot.
Another thing that should be teach to them is the disk space organization. This is quite different from Windows and newbies tend to put everything in a single huge filesystem. They should know some basic principles about LVM and all the kind of filesystems available with differences between them. Not an indept review, but a basic review of what is available and what they can do with this stuff.
This is very exciting news and for now, forget replacement of call center peoples, this machine is composed of 2800 Power7 cores, which renders it very expensive compare to the typical call center person. But this accomplishement, is a major step in the AI field and open it to many many exciting applications in the future which is not now too far.
Googl doesn't ensure WebM will become the standard acting this way, they just make sure it may get some market share since Apple AND Microsoft don't support it in their own respective browsers. This is how Apple and Microsoft manage to impose the H.264 to everyone and kill up-front any possible competitive format. It seems this came unoticed by Mr. Bright. I believe Google was will to support H.264 as long as Apple and Microsoft had plans to support WebM and Theora in their own browsers. So, who did really start this war?
The story is not only about these few million bucks, but about the fact IE and Safari will support only H.264. So, all the video content over the whole WWW will end up being H.264 encoded. This is neither what the was supposed to be about, otherwise the W3C would have specified the only admissible video codec for HTML5 is H.264.
Here again, Apple and Microsoft are trying to kill any other format they are not making money with. The argument of Microsoft about esperanto is exactly the same argument they are using to claim Windows being a standard and everything they do is then a standard.
Diversity is good and IE and Safari should also support royality-free codecs WebM and Theora. Why they don't want to? That is the real question behind this war.
Conception is only the thiny part of the whole problem. Given the zero-G and the exposure to cosmic rays, it is likely a foetus will develop with a very fragile skeleton and may develop early cancer. In fact, even for the adult, the journey to Mars may be fatal before reaching the target due to cosmic rays.
The title is misleading because it talks about teleportation while the phenomena described, even if it is real, is not teleportation. It makes a copy, it doesn't teleport the original. This isn't teleportation.
All this reminds me something I was fortunate enough to see happening without being involved and responsible for all the shit that results from it.
Once a day, we had a change to do and this change need to be coordinate with a mainframe change. We were there to test the procedure on test environment, with the test mainframe partition. In the operators' room, there is three levels of desk, each level seeing what is going on on the other level. It was very like the Star Trek Enterprise command room or something at the DoD and Pentagon, anyway, so, here was all these mainframe guys watching each other for this test on the mainframe test partition. This was preparatory work for the real thing. Then, guess what happened? They shutdown the whole mainframe production live partition of a banking transactionnal system rather than doing it with the test partition. I remind you, there was three levels of authorities involved here.
So, this kind of thing doesn't guarantee shit won't happen, because shit happens!
I agree that a formal procedure must be followed, but don't be fooled, this will not prevent all the shit to happen. So, don't make this procedure so cumbersome that no real work can be done within a month. Because, I have seen also this counterpart where everyone hired for their technical skills ends up filling forms, attending no-ending meetings, waiting for approvals, etc. And finally, most of the work time is consume by the maniaco-bureaucratic procedures, which do not prevent shit to happen anyway. It's just to some extend ass covering.
The real solution would be to automate the sysadmin. But we are not there yet.
Doesn't look at all like a proof or even support of what you are saying. And what let you think those leaving will behave differently? Did the first Europeans in America behave very differently than in Europe? They managed to exterminate caribe tribes and slavage the others. There is absolutely nothing in the human history to support your assumptions.
I agree completely with you. The few ones going to Mars will do it at the expense of the entire living humans left back with their problems and much less ressources to solve them. I don't agree to pay to see few ones escaping the problems we are having here and thinking they can have there own Dharma Initiative on Mars at the expense of others.
Having sex with two women is not the definition of a sexual assault. Have you something else to tell us which could let us know you know what you are talking about? Hints: The information is widely available on the Internet as far as you are digging it a little bit.
I rather than suggest to enter the procedure to register Ace as a trademark, then you should be able to sell you FaceSuite and have Facebook repay you their rights plus the right to use ACE in Face.
The colleagues state — in one of 55 articles in the issue devoted to exploring Mars — that humans must begin colonizing another planet as a hedge against a catastrophe on Earth."
I do not agree at all with this statement. This is pure bullshit nobody seems to revisit this argument. Why must we begin colonizing rather than solving our current problems? How many peoples and which ones will be granted a ticket when first settlements will exists on Mars, if ever? Why should more than 6 billion humans should pay this ticket to a bunch of cowards trying to escape our problems? Why should we put that huge amount of money it will requires to try to establish colonies on Mars rather than taking the same amount of money to solve problems here that can save much more peoples than colonies on Mars may save, if ever. Why should we send a monthly check to someone in Washington D.C. thinking they need to save humans at the expense of everyone else on this globe? Someone is having a Star Trek overdose out there.
I know, it seems to be stupid to ask, but these days the hardware is so cheap, why don't you just buy two dedicated boxes? The virtualization in a datacenter is making much sense since the partial load of separated servers can be consolidate into a single physical box to administer. But, for personal usage? I don't mean someone who wish to build a whole lab of servers for experimentation on his laptop is not having such needs, but what are yours? Why do you feel you have to take the virtualization pill? I don't believe you need to based on what you said so far.

Obviously, you completely missed the point about the military potentiel of a platoon of tapeworms remotely controlled.

So, explain why Apple and Microsoft managed to support only H.264 in their respective browser? It's not a tag, it's a tag.

I agree with you and your post should have get positive mods. This guy doesn't really understand open source.

What really amazed me is the number of children reported missing each year.
Everyone needs to believe into something, except the sysadmin.

At least, nobody will never ever complain about a bug in his soup.
Amen!

On which facts do you base your assumption humans left on Earth do not attempt to solve their problems? What about those leaving?

Well, you are wrong, it encourages innovation in many ways, just think about how the lawyers are innovative finding new stuff to patent.
