    they are stealing more than that, all their customers are leasing equipment for their exclusive use, not to form a public charity.

    oh really, for ZFSOnLInux have they made a notification system so spare pools can get used in event of failure? or how about the occasional runaway memory issues?

    no support for FreeBSD systems in the Enterprise, other than hiring consultants

    funny, a couple of their competitors have no such limitations. That is like Cisco charging you for switch port use

    and when the cops kick in your door for the child porn going down your leased pipe that's fine with you?

    or the entertainment cartel makes you their poster child from the infringing content going in?

    the space program had disasters under air force too. you must be young. plenty of successes under NASA for 1960s until now

    funny I can do a parallel start up with init script if I really wanted to, don't need fancy bloated startup/system/session manager

  8. 500 TB? on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Released · · Score: 2

    XFS on 64 bit linux can go to 8 EB for files and volumes, a tad bigger than 500TB. Did Red Hat cripple it (for a while they even charged extra for XFS!)

    nope, there is very high quality code which deals with platform specific issues that are not easily ported, laziness not the issue. For example, POSIX compliance for some functions means the function is declared in the system headers, but it doesn't actually have to be implemented! Your beautiful library that handles things perfectly on all architectures up to the present flops over because Apple decided the function isn't really there even though your code compiiled!

  11. Re:Urine a source of "nutrients" no to waste on Fuel Cells From Nanomaterials Made From Human Urine · · Score: 1

    also present in feces, waste management is very poor USA compared to what it could be, squandering the easily recycled nutrients when the alternative methods of producing them are quite expensive. We don't really have shortages of resources on earth, nor even coming shortages, instead just massive wastefullness

  12. Re:Weak magnetic fields on the moon. on Moon Swirls May Inspire Revolution In the Science of Deflector Shields · · Score: 1

    most of it is believed to be left over from the early time when Moon still had molten core and a dynamo similar to what the Earth still has.

    News for you, most helium from wells is just vented. Yes, helium slowly leaks into space, not relevant.

    You are the pathetic one, as engineer I live in the world of reality, while you have some imagined false crisis about shortages of resources that cannot happen the way this planet works.

    nope, those are agenda-driven inflated stats that count assistants, secretaries, technicians, QA testers, etc. as "scientists and engineers".

    women are WAY behind in representation when it comes to hardcore engineering and science.

    Yes, we will enjoy. Fossil fuel use has greatly extended human lifespan, dramatically improved health, and driven forward progress and civilization in the last 400 years There are millennia of supply of coal, and it can be made into any type of other fossil fuel. So we have to time switch over to alternatives. No such thing as unsustainable, engineering will adapt to whatever resource supply changes occur. Of course, resources don't magically disappear from our planet, despite whatever alarmist nonsense you may have read about helium or "rare earths" or potassium or phosphorous. There is plenty of all of that in the earth's crust, and that will not change in thousands of years.

  22. Oracle has more spare cash than that

  23. Robotics obviously has to do due with chip circuitry in this age.

    Oracle has made investments in robotics companies recently.

    I say they have a basis for a suing to have the name of this program changed

  24. You thought wrong, SPARC is owned by Oracle, with L. Ellison at the helm. You're saying he would never sue to protect the name?

  25. you should get a Fujitsu one, they're better
