Which is why it won't be permitted as a circumvention of the gag order.
When the Great Wall of [formerly free nation] blocks a website, the intent will be that the website is memory holed. We've always been at war with EastAsia, don't you know?
So, no, the agencies responsible for imposing this embargo on knowledge won't be calling attention to it. That website has never existed, don't you know?
Well, you have to admit, the current long-distance transport system externalizes the hell out of a lot of effective costs. How much land was condemned to build airports? How much pollution do we basically ignore?
We should extend any future technologies the same courtesy, lest we erect an unjustifed barrier to market entry. Or else impose full cost-bearing on current market holders. In the interests of leveling the playing field, of course.
But I think they have a point about how businessess make decisions and manage risks.
If you're a business leader working on a cloud migration of your data and processes, the cost of mitigating confidentiality risks can be as as low as the price of a big bucket of sand to bury your head in.
We don't have any evidence (yet) of malicious intent - almost all of the stuff in this report was just sloppiness
As if that matters. In the framework of US Law, there are levels of negligence that rise to the equivalent of malice, for purposes of culpability. Google "criminal negligence" some time.
It may not apply in the letter of the law, but I think it's a good example of the spirit of the thing.
It's one of the dirty little secrets: RH lags the various products by a bit, at least on a release-by-release basis. And then CentOS lags RH, sometimes famously.
My mom got mad I was cutting holes in her kitchen floor. Apparently, she WANTS my only light source to be glowing LCD screens and blue LED power indicators.
You are naked. The Emperor is beautifully dressed in clothing that no one can see. If you wish to argue about it, you're welcome to discuss it with your jailors.
Police arrest people for painting free murals on buildings, proof that people will continue to create even if we actively try to discourage it.
That's a good analogy. Especially considering history.
You're arguing that you eliminate the rent-charging ability of copyright holders over creativity, and that the price of the products of creativity will be driven to zero, and everyone will be their own maker and composer and artist.
Here's what will actually happen: guilds. Instead of a limited monopoly on specific creative works, you'll have government-enforced organizational monopolies on whole areas of creative and productive work. You will be hunted down and punished if you try to practice outside the guild. And because of the stranglehold of the guild, the craft will be practiced only the way the guild wants it to be, and you probably won't be able to do it for free... because then you'd be undercutting your own guildmates.
Your mistake is believing that freedom to create is the point. Making money through artificial scarcity is the point. Laws are easily and cheaply bought to make sure the point comes through.
This also doesn't mean that book, songs, and pictures will cease to be created. It just means that the people doing it will be doing it most likely for "love of the game" and not the money.
Besides, "starving artist" needs to be more than a cliché.
The Royal Navy Invincible-class was originally called a "through-deck cruiser." Apparently for political reasons: The RN had just had its first big-deck fleet carrier canceled over cost concerns, and was on the verge of losing fleet airpower entirely, so (IMHO) snuck through a "cruiser" that could carry antisubmarine helicopters. And other aircraft, by a happy coincidence.
Seriouly, there's no hope you'll actually be able to cram everything you need to know into your brain and make it stick. You need runbooks.
Here's a Technet Article on how to put together a Windows server run book. You'll also be able to google for Linux or Unix examples, although you'll find mostly snippets focused on how to write a runbook section for one specific product or another.
A high-level runbook should document overall systems architecture: network layering, external and important internal connections, service agreements, contacts, roles and responsibilities. The per-system runbooks should focus on configuration details and functional description (why the server is in the architecture). Per-service runbooks crosscut servers and describe how a particular service is deployed, started, stopped, upgraded, etc.
It's a lot. If you don't already have a lot of this, start now. If you do, get it current and updated now.
The Free Market, like Natural Selection, doesn't solve an individual's problems. The solve the (market's|species') problems, slowly, while leaving behind it a thick trail littered with the corpses of failed individuals.
Adam Smith may have identified the Invisible Hand, but it has Darwin's fingerprints.
Apple has historically seen iPhone users upgrade to the newest version iOS in staggeringly high numbers, but eliminating this problem across the board seems the wiser choice.
Nonsense. It's absolutely the wisest thing Apple could possibly do. Adding the spur of an outstanding unpatched "OMG I'm PWND" vulnerability to the carrot of the news "OMG SHINY" is absolutly brilliant. A wonderful way to counter sagging uptake.
Oh, you mean "wisest in terms of supporting your customer?." How quaint.
They're not your customer once you have their money.

Stop considering taking stock tips from random slashdotters. Not even as a joke.
That's almost worse than trolling "Ask Slashdot" for career advice.
In this regard, giving no reason speaks volumes!

Of course. Success comes with its own pardon. Only failure is punished.

"Now Gramma, I've told you this before... 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install " and then the name of your package.
You don't know the name of the package? If you can't be troubled to look that up, how can I possibly help you?"

This is by design. Even if you're of the opinion that it's broken. It's broken by design.
