I think you misinterpret the needs of the DOD. In cases where important systems are in place they use UNIX. It's all the systems running outlook, MSWord, visio and other office products that are to blame. Tough part is, (even I have used it for years) OpenOffice is just not ready for the common user. Or better yet, the common user is not ready for OO or any OS other than Windows. Just transitioning them to [ add flavor of ubuntu here ] is not that easy.
I do not know about you, but understanding anatomy is a pretty good skill. Especially if you plan on becoming a doctor. Although I am not a doctor, as a parent I have found myself in the position of diagnosing "bo-bos". Understanding anatomy does come in handy after high school.
Sorry to be the accuracy police, but LVM does not change the size of the partition. You can change the size of the Logical Volume which filesystems are built on. The idea of LVM is to not use partitions, but use a virtual device that is more flexible. Also, you can easily grow filesystems, but shrinking is not supported by resize2fs. (AFAIK)
Looks like you are talking about a problem creating snapshots. It appeared that users don't understand how snapshots work and created them too small. Then the COW functionality fails because the snapshot LV fills up. It needs to be large enough to handle changes that are made during the time the snapshot is created.
You are welcome to NOT use LVM, however, until there is another Volume Manager for Linux (that does not cost money), this is our best option. ZFS is promising, but still far from being included in the kernel as standard.
When you mention "critical data" and mythtv recordings, you obviously do not use Linux in a large IT department. LVM is crucial for production systems. Just about every Unix has some form of LVM. LVM for linux is based on HP-UX's implementation. The "rare" instance you are talking about, does not out-weight (in my opinion) the benefits of LVM.
Most likely the Indian students have better study habits. Based on the review, the author probably assumes that they MUST cheat because they get better grades. This is speculation since I have not read the book, but I have heard that rhetoric before.
I agree. This goes for movies, music, copies of photoshop, MS Windows, etc. If tech savvy people can just download it without any repercussions, then they will. Personally I like some DRM as a way to keep people honest who otherwise would not be. If the path of least resistance is to take out their wallet and buy it, then I am all for it. (I am a paid developer, so I am a little biased).
There will always be pirates, but a little DRM cuts out more than 90% of pirates. And the other 10% that still pirate weren't gonna buy anyway.
Slashdot Mirror
So you have enough processing load that you need over 4GB of ram?
Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0)

Pst... You posted to ask Slashdot and mentioned you use Microsoft Vista? Flamebait
You forgot that people buys Macs because Apple monitors look best with their orange sunglasses.
I was wondering if I was the only one who saw that. Thank you. I totally agree.
You can add to your list: /var and run a real mail server.
Grow the filesystem online by 32GB
Put oracle or some other database on it
Use it for

The only exception is playboy. No one seems to mind a little air-brushing there.
Humm.. the article quotes "stuck living in their parents' basement for 10 years" like that is a bad thing.

Wow, with all this talk of layoffs, Tesla is really starting to look like a REAL American car company. Detroit would be proud!

Ya know, 90% of all statistics can be made to say anything...50% of the time.
Nice pull. That made my morning. (/me puts Goodfellas into netflix queue).
Thanks Jack.
LOL, that was damn funny.

I think that is their intent. Except the RIAA wants them to be defendants instead of spectators.
That's no moon it's a ....ah nevermind...
I just wonder how much money you can get for a 2,3, or 4 digit UID on ebay? Mine is not worth much, but you could make a few bucks.
Why would they want to hold the party in their bedroom?

I'll second that.
Not RAID 5, but you can map two physical extents on different disks to a single logical extent. This would be similar to RAID 1.
