your virtualized instances [...] retreat to a smaller group of servers. The unused servers could shut down for the night.
This is NOT a good idea. We tried this but had the greatest trouble each morning convincing the virtualized instances to come out of their smaller, warmer group of servers into the cold, barely booted-up bigger servers.
No brownie points for you, young man! AS ANY SYSADMIN KNOWS, for this incantation to work, you'll have to do the following: - Penguin. Live one. - Herrings. Lots of them. - Datacenter (easy because you live there)
I'd advise against discussing it with HR. I've encountered the following situation: I talked to a HR manager about something that obviously should've remained confidential. However that same HR manager was part of the management team and thus had two hats on. She proceeded to inform the management team, to my astonishment.
I've come to the conclusion that HR is just a staff department and owes allegiance to, you guessed it, the management team. Not you.
We should just kill the hardware comapnies for the bloatware they install for kickbacks.
We should not buy hardware with bloatware from said companies. I've bought a number of Dells but not one of them contained said bloatware. That's because I buy the business hardware which doesn't contain this crap.

This is not unique to the COBOL business. It happens to anyone who lets himself talked down to. Either learn to show some teeth or don't feel attacked so fast.
I guess you could say that, yeah. However I prefer to read the comma between the curly braces as a separator. But your description describes the algorithm better.
A colleague of mine objected to this syntax, saying it's not orthogonal. However,
There are people who will use 1 browser because it is "the internet". there are people who will use 1 browser because it is God's only browser and there is only one. There are people who will use 1 browser because they cant be bothered to change.

In my college time, I was treasurer of a study association. The meetings were quite long and I requested to let me chair one of the meetings.
I ran it like a nazi. I stuck to the agenda, requested to discuss things outside the meeting, gave everybody a fair but limited talk time. Closed the meeting on time, cleanly lobbed off at the hour.
People were very enthousiastic, "if only all meetings could be like that".
However it was never requested to be chaired that way again. Maybe I was too blunt or something. But then again there are lots of people who also want to relax in a meeting and be able to vent things that aren't necessarily on the agenda.
If you can't get hired in the first year of looking, it makes it even harder to find a job because employers assume there is something wrong with you.
No, they just assume that you're someone who is okay with leaving things the way they are. While they were actually looking for someone who is active and can set priorities.
I'm doing C++ (Qt) here, with lots of Perl. However, if you haven't done anything web related, you're really missing out. You need at least some experience with that to offer good advice to your (internal) client.

Google Domains its Premier membership is something like $45 per year and definitely has a support number which you can call.
Will this automatically hook into the Novell accounts?
While running a Linux distribution feels good, at the same time it's a fair amount of work.
When was the last time you installed and used Linux seriously? Really, you're describing the situation as it was a couple of years ago.

You see, virtualized instances are like kittens.
Mod parent redundant.
Considering we've passed the 7-digit mark, that's not so bad!

Then when the output of:
$ printf "0x%X\n" `cat /proc/stat | grep btime | cut -f2 -d" "
is 0xDEADBEEF (or in summer, 0x00C0FFEE) feed a herring to the penguin and scream out the incantation.
Tip: don't let your boss catch you. In my case it caused a huge misunderstanding.
Try to say that five times.
Or better: "Slashdotters summarily slashsquat several syndicate signs".
I double-dare you :-)
What's pretty funny, is that this is the same on Slashdot. For instance I tried a few car brands and these all exist and have extremely low UIDs:
http://slashdot.org/~mercedes
http://slashdot.org/~ferrari
http://slashdot.org/~ford
http://slashdot.org/~fiat
But also :-)
http://slashdot.org/~tefal
http://slashdot.org/~aga
http://slashdot.org/~farber
exists so we have a few happy chef-cooks here as well

it's obviously difficult to find a reference object /everyone/ is familiar with
Well, considering even my 3 months old nephew can recognize a women's breast, I was very surprised to see they used a plain Bic pen in the picture.
the size its small enough to fit in a glovebox or for the ladies a handbag.
I'm a metrosexual, you insensitive clod!

I always try to encourage people not to "start" after the screen appears, [...] most people ignore the advice and press things frantically
Why try to educate people when you can gleefully ;-)
watch them get frustrated??

A colleague of mine objected to this syntax, saying it's not orthogonal. However,
echo {foo,bar,bak}
also works.
cp filename.ext{,.bak}
expands to
cp filename.ext filename.ext.bak
Another perhaps more clear example;
cp movie.{doc,odt}
expands to
cp movie.doc movie.odt

You, sir, have actually rickrolled the entire comment-reading Slashdot population.
