There are no licensing costs. There are support costs, which is a different thing. RHEL support seems to vary from $350-$1000/yr, depending on support levels. Not sure how that scales by server.
Sorry, I'm talking about server side, which is the common place you find linux. If you do it right, users have no idea that the utility websites and the fileserver are now running RHEL5.
IF they run linux on the desktop. it is most likely a very stable LTS release so that they don't HAVE to update all the time to fix the bugs that aren't corrected in the prior releases.
Yeah you do need to update Linux periodically: if you don't, support becomes very expensive, although the period is probably around 5 years.
Selling Linux is a bit easier, as there are no licensing costs, and you can deploy it piecemeal without retraining employees. Compare that with the disruption of people going to Win7 and probably also upgrading office - you have 1-2 years of weird incompatible file formats and interop between two versions of outlook.
Controlling what you yourself say is not censorship.
Sure it is. Of course, filtering objectionable material from a search result is more what I was thinking of. Google does it, but it's an optional feature. I can't turn off Amazon's version.
Nevertheless, it isn't censorship on Amazon's part. Amazon is not a government or other authority or monopoly so we are still free to shop elsewhere and many will.
It is still censorship, just of their search results. I don't know why it is people think only the gub can censor things.
RAID10 is simple and fast. It's also really redundant - you need to lose two drives from the same stripe set to lose data, and with 500G-1T per disk, I can afford to lose half my capacity.
To be fair, 'terrorist' is used for lots of things it shouldn't - people who set up roadside bombs in Iraq are labeled insurgent and terrorist, when they're attacking military targets and already live there. FARC are labeled as terrorist when they're actually revolutionaries. Seems that terrorist just means 'someone we don't like'.
except that most captcha users use a 3rd party captcha, and people sell software with a guaranteed success rate against the 5-6 more popular ones. Buh bye speedbump.
If you want fast big storage, get 4 disks and RAID10 them - you'll get fast and redundant drives on the cheap. You still need a decent backup strategy, though.
then you get to run the AC for longer and pay more because the electric company shut off your AC for the hot part of the day. Bite the bullet and go nuclear.
not really practical - everything runs on TCPIP, and incompatible connectors are expensive. Setting the high bit in classified MACs means miswires can be handled immediately with a script that disables that port on the switch, which is really the sort of thing you want.
Besides, you only need *one* guy on a team who doesn't sweat like the proverbial whore in church every time he/she has to speak in front of a crowd.
I've found that the ones who don't crack a sweat in church are often the biggest whores of them all. Difference being, they feel justified in their whoring. Applied to public speaking, you have to be comfortable in your whoring to speak in front of people, and toastmasters or any place where you can stand up and practice the art of the speech is a good idea.
Plato once suggested that we should all be assigned our jobs at birth, and that philosophers should be the leaders. This is sort of like that, but less realistic.
Of course he did, he's a philosopher. He also fantasized about dangling virgins, but I like my women lusty and alive.
if you let one of them get by without acting, like say one that says, "Terrorists planning to fly planes into buildings", and something comes of it, you will be hounded forever as someone who failed to act. People will say that the blood of thousands is on YOUR hands.
Not really. You'd have to ignore the briefing and the warnings of the outgoing president about the guys suspected of planning the attack and also cut funding for monitoring of same said baddies. Then, when the attack happens, continue reading to schoolchildren while you desperately try to figure out what to do.

In all fairness, the neocons were still bashing Clinton in october.
And he once was convinced he found a security breach in my code because he composed a GET request, making a pistol gesture and a "pow" sound.
Was he wearing a cowboy hat at the time?
This is why I tell people, "any idiot can get an 80k programming job." (If they're well connected.)
Hell, any mouthbreather can be prez-o-dent if they have the right daddy.

Are you going to watch videos 24/7? You have a job and presumably sleep too.

T1s are a relic of a bygone era; regardless, you aren't paying $400/mo for bandwidth, you're paying for an SLA.
But they will arrest you for eating that sammich. Or cussing.
I think so, Brain, but if we didn't have ears, we'd look like weasels!

Nah, people who blow shit up with other people inside are antisocial. People who blow shit up while getting drunk with buddies are social.
It doesn't take an environmentalist - all it takes is someone familiar with this issues who takes a moment to think.
In the current climate, that makes you a commie environmentalist.

this article reads like a well-crafted piece of BS, designed to put the N back into FUDing.
Nuding?
Where?
Cheney. Avert your eyes, please.

It's pretty much the same thing - Enron already attacked our infrastructure for profit.
The 'crying wolf' has been done for the last 6 years, piling on the fear of another 9/11.
Try 20-30 - ever since reagan, there's always been some bogeyman to fear. We can't seem to shake the cold war.

But this is all purely hypothetical, right?
