This thread perfectly illustrates the point by the OP. Everyone immediately turned on each other claiming that "THEIR WAY was the ONLY way" and "all other opinions were shit." Everyone immediately went to discussing the underlying technology of their preferences vs the point that THAT is the problem.
Nobody gives a flying **** if you've been compiling your own desktop environment and workflow for the past 30 years. Nobody cares that YOU like x package manager over y. Its irrelevant.
You aren't more or less linux than anyone else.
The Linux community is virtually without equal in its ability to cannibalize itself with infighting and elitism.
The major survivors, Ubuntu, RedHat among a few others quickly realized that trying to unify the rabid base into any cohesive strategy was pointless and worthless. Too much vitriol.
I'm not the biggest fan of Linus at times but he is on point here.
Of course the opposing point of view that Linux doesn't need a standard desktop is just as valid.
There are plenty of "easy button" Linux desktop solutions in the marketplace and a little bit of research will show that basically everyone can get almost anything working on nearly any flavor.

And yet, you are so threatened by the idea that a women could be a talented scientist that you are projecting what YOU think by claiming its what he really thinks.

YOU however, are a coward hiding behind anonymity, terrified of anything that remotely impacts your false narrative of reality.
Only on Slashdot could a company like Microsoft issue a well worded statement on performance degradation in relation to a hardware issue they have no control over, and be vilified over it and subjected to bullshit standard conspiracy theory garbage.
Actually I take that back. They'll be vilified out of principle on pretty much every tech news site.
Its Slashdot. I expect nothing less. When the OP's thread subject has the word "Appdoze" in it, you can basically discount it as bullshit hyperbole. I'm half shocked he didn't spell Microsoft with a $.
My faith in WikiLeaks died when Assange (several years ago) went on The Daily Show and admitted to Jon Stewart that videos and releases of information are edited for (and I quote) "maximum political effect."
Assange is no more for legitimate transparency than Putin is for free and unrestrained press...
Yep, no argument there Based on the fact that the OP mentioned he wanted to use PL networking (seriously!???!?) and not wire things up, I surmised that he wasn't a full time networking ninja (or even part time for that matter). Thus, i suggested a good balance of functionality and price.
I'm aware that new Cisco's have WebUIs but the Meraki's take it a step beyond for the SOHO market. I've deployed them flawlessly in some of the small shops I support on the side and I love being able to login from home and resolve issues that in the past would have required a rollout to the site.
My vendor of choice is Juniper Networks but im not gonna recommend that type of advanced functionality (and price) for a use case such as this;-)
I agree on EVERYTHING you said, except your choice of infrastructure devices.
Go w/ a Cisco Meraki switch. Can get the POE versions for cheap, cloud managed, no need to learn a lot of CLI (i'm a network engineer by trade so i wouldn't choose this but for a layman its great).
Expand to a Meraki MX60 for a security gateway and a few MR16 or MR24 APs and you can have the whole place done up right for about $1500.00
If you don't want Meraki, you can use Aerohive, Ubuquiti (shudder), or Cradlepoint AER2100s for awesome route and AP functionality.
Bottom line is, lots of choices.
Well now you've just proven my point. Your original comment did nothing but blast MLK the man. When I exposed how completely unjustified that was, all you can counter with is your personal (yet again, not backed up) claims about our country's inadequacies.
We are not perfect, frankly no country on Earth is, neither is any person on it.
Oh well, I'm done with this argument as it is going nowhere fast.
Wow, are you serious?
Do you even know anything about 1968?
The Civil Rights act of 1964 laid the groundwork for racial equality, but it wasn't until the tumultuous 1968, and only after the rise of MLK and RFK and their subsequent assassinations was America really shocked into STARTING to follow them. It would take decades and we still are not even close to full indifference (yes, I mean that we still look at each other with differences instead of all the same Man), however had MLK not been who he was when he was, this process may have taken much longer.
Its sad that some people can so blindly exhibit their ignorance and offer nothing but empty useless arguments to support their points.
He's right. It doesnt REQUIRE it at all, it just happens to be installed with WORD as the default editor when Outlook is installed with Office,
For example, look at SBS 2003. You get Outlook 2003 w/ Exchange when you buy SBS. It doesn't include Office and doesn't need it when installed.
This statement doesn't really appeal to the allure of EVE. I play eve, and its kind of fun knowing that 30 to 40 thousand people are online in the same world as you, all over the real world.
Just because a game doesn't have MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of players doesn't mean its not a fun MMO.
Reading your statement again, it doesn't sound like you are badmouthing per se, just pointing out that it has "fewer" players.
Technically, you really can't.
You can disable "CallerID" broadcasting (ie CNAM), however for a call to go through, that call transmits the ANI to the switch, every call has "calling from" number associated with it, even if callerID is blocked or number blocking is on.
In those cases, just have the device block all "blocked or anonymous" entries.
It could probably work if someone / some company put some money and time into building it.
I completely agree. At the very LEAST it should have an honorable mention. I still play that game constantly on my SNES. That and EARTHBOUND!!!!! If either of those games broke or my SNES broke I'd buy new copies or a new system on EBAY that night. My original SNES is still going strong.
Yeah but its not evolution through "their" intelligent designer?
Its the same old mantra:
"you can have any color, as long as its black," or "you can be any religion, as long as its christian"
I'm totally with you. I DO really like the old games too, i've played through all the ones except the real FFIII which i'll be getting on the DS Lite as soon as it comes out.
At the same time, the news ones aren't horrible. I hate the argument that if its new and uses a different visual style than the first 8, that it "JUST SUCKS and if you like it you NOT UB3RL337." Its such a ridiculous bullshit argument. People are entitled to their own tastes. Yes, after VII, FF broke into the "mainstream" with its huge budgets and tons of unnecessary cutscenes, but some of those really worked to the games advantage (Aeris's death anyone, Sephiroth walking through the fire) and they became classis lore in RPG gaming. Whats wrong with that?
Yeah I don't think comparing him to Ted Bundy is warranted either. If he did do what he was convicted of, then it was worse than lying, but its not murder.
And to the people commenting on your cold heartedness. I kind of agree with you actually.
People DO need to diversify. I understand that pension plans are tied to company performance, but you don't need a fscking college degree to know you need to have options in case the worse should happen. Shit you can't turn on the TV without seeing an advertisement "educating" about the need for diversification. I feel for these people, I really do. It sucks and its completely not fair that their lives were destroyed by someone elses greed, but COME ON people. THINK BEFORE you blindly put your money into the company line. Maybe cut a little out from the money you put into the pension funds and put it somewhere else. Its not THAT difficult to figure out. You don't need to know the stock market to put money into an investment vehicle.
Thats just common sense. Hell I'm not an economist and i'm not rich by any means but I still do my research and talk to people I know when I make a major financial decision like investments, etc. Its just good advice.

There would have to be some mechanism in place for guilds though, in this scenario.
The only other way to do it this way is to just cluster the servers and get rid of sharding all together, but considering that the only (I think anyways) MMO that does that, EVE Online, has difficulties with their 100,000 subscribers and a full 70 server cluster, this could be very hard.

A 500 cable? You can't possibly be serious!? Besides it being discontinued, its completely pointless for the use case here.

Its also used in Supreme Commander, to script a lot of the in game AI and unit actions as well as define the attributes of moddable units.
