but Brazil is not a member of the so-called "First World"
That name comes from the Cold War. USA plus military allies (including NATO), then U.S.S.R. + satellites, then the rest as the "third world". It never had an economic meaning.
Such a good idea that such a thing was done by NASA from the 1960s onwards. Space exploration is a far more global effort than people seem to realise and there is NASA money in a lot of projects from the south pole (plant growth experiments) northwards. For example a lot of NASA money went into Australian based scramjet projects from the 1980s onwards. There's so many bits being worked on all over that place that there is bound to be some Indian involvement.
And let's also face the face that India is still a terribly poor country
Only if you nitpick on the same level as looking at Detroit and calling the USA a terribly poor country - India has the tenth largest economy on the planet FFS!
But stretching so deep into userspace that a window manager is impacted in any way? It should just kick off X and get out of the way, leaving whatever your display manager is to do the job from then on. Some tool may make noises about what is X needs to be restarted, not understanding that that's been handled nicely without bothering init for a couple of decades at least. If it's something about having a set of desktop applications starting up automaticly after login there's been plenty of ways that have worked well over the last couple of decades.
Read it again. Praise for something is praise for something. Nice little schoolboy touch with trying to turn things back onto me. If you wanted to make people think less of your worth with each post you are doing a fine job. You've convinced me that you are not just someone that has missed a point but instead someone that wants to actively spread misinformation.
Citation needed. I have never seen anyone declaring Windows Server 2012 the best ever OS because of the CLI.
With respect, the above poster is replying to someone that appears to be asserting that. I suggest reading other posts higher up in the thread before wasting time writing such long replies that miss the point.
He had it on one floppy for a while, but eventually due to a lot of kernel modules (that means drivers for MS centric folks) it grew to a boot floppy and a separate root floppy. I used it as a general purpose toolkit for stuffed MS and linux machines for a few years, before using DamnSmallLinux, knoppix and now clonezilla for that role.
I suppose that's what can be expected when there's enough sprawling mismanagement that you've got agents being fed LSD in some attempt to get super powers and a variety of other fuckups.
That was a political requirement imposed that clashed with the requirement of the person on the spot being able to do the task they were trained and employed for. Thus to tick the box and not get in the way the password was set to all zeros. If you or I got into the right building with the "password" we wouldn't have had a clue how to launch missiles, we'd just have a number but wouldn't know the procedure to use it. The "password" just created the illusion that civilians were in charge of operational military matters. It was set to all zeros so that they were not, so that an order to start a war would be a "one step" thing from a civilian authority and not micromanaging. Besides, who would you trust more with final launch authority, a group of military personal prepared to shoot anyone that wasn't going by the book in an operation that required several people or the likes of Dan Quale, Spiro Agnew, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton?
There's a long lead time with these things and effort needs to be maintained, so sorry guys, you can't just blame one person or one party for this. Instead it's the hawkish culture driven hard by the sort of people Eisenhower warned us about, the sort of people that view the rise of Putin with joy and the sort of people that are not ashamed with stuffing the wallets of elected officials.
Gold can be melted in a graphite crucible in a microwave oven, however if you want the interior of the microwave to survive it has to be lined with the sort of material that is used to line furnaces (eg. certain types of clay).
Let's rephrase that - I don't understand what point you are making with that number unless it's about hibernate being better than it used to be on most hardware or something else I've missed.
It's tempting to think of termites destroying from within, but since systemd is more annoying and just not having reached it's potential yet than evil I suppose it's just someone with a wide range of views that don't actually impact on the project. We already had weirdness like the editor of the "jargon file" using it as a platform to call a journalist an anti-semite, so we should just file it under an irrelevant character flaw of the author and use their stuff or not on it's merits.
I'm in the same boat. Is linux so unreliable and prone to disaster that "kill -1" used on a regular basis?
Wrong question - is software and the choices of people in using it so unreliable and prone to disaster that "kill -1" is useful? The answer is yes on multi-user systems when one person's stuff hogs all resources and can neither progress or let other tasks progress, or even if you accidently set your graphics program to open a hundred huge images at once and you stop yourself doing much more than preparing for a six month wait until is sorts it all out, unless you can kill it or reboot. It's not quite a high school level thing to consider, but it comes close, so presumably it's late at night or you've had a few drinks before posting.
Users shouldn't run RHEL and expect a smooth desktop experience.
Considering how different gnome3 is people are running RHEL6 (or CentOS6) just to get the smooth gnome2 experience you can't get from other distros. Don't get me wrong, it's about exercise of choice instead of criticism of gnome3 some time after it's become viable. I've got people with the same desktop layout they had way back on Fedora2 on their CentOS6 machines (after a series of hardware and software changes). I've also got people that like gnome3 on Fedora20 so I gave them that.
Easy, you just have to send a couple of guys, let's call them Neil and Buzz, to set up equipment to reflect the signal:) OK, so it's just to reflect lasers, but that's close enough for a bad joke.
For an added bonus have one of them so on top of things that he's able to calculate burns for a transfer orbit when the computer is down.
Is it OK to import an H1-B worker and a few weeks later lay off a U.S worker from the same or similar position at another location within the same company?
Of course not, but there's little or nothing to prevent it while it is less convenient to fire a guest worker in the US - plus guest workers are normally cheaper. If management have no reliable performance metrics they'll always go with cheaper. If management have the guest workers as contractors paid out of a different pool to the local workers it can look as if they are "free" in some metrics (eg. employee hours per thousand units sold or whatever, and contractor hours are not counted), so filling up an area with guest workers can be a fast track to promotion. Evil pricks didn't vanish with Enron. Some areas of business act like amoral medieval city states and it's only legal threats that keep them from going all the way. Your suggestion is good but what it needs is enough acceptance to be enforced by a group with sharp enough legal teeth, while fending off those who treat any discussion of employee conditions as "commie talk".
Not as long as the corporations are the ones writing the regulations that are supposed to regulate them and protect us.
With the current lobby system that's going to continue, although it's possible that a side effect of cracking down on hidden money transfers to fight terrorism may make it more difficult to bribe legislators.
I'm expecting that when the crowd that read and build the stuff out of "Fine Woodworking" get into 3D printing that we'll start to see some stuff that we didn't expect and they'll complain about shortcomings we're not noticing or just putting up with - leading to improvements in the equipment.
It's a single material with the 3D printer, having to work with a range of materials makes milling far less trivial and makes your "never actually used" somewhat comical. I've written scripts to turn 3D drawings into G-code programs and making sure that the cutter is going at the correct speed (so that it can actually do the job without breaking itself or your part) is a bit harder than you appear to have considered.
When the announcement that cuts were coming I made a comment on/. about how everyone at Microsoft would be looking over their shoulder wondering whether their job would be cut.
Isn't it MS that has the toxic culture of making sure that somebody in every team gets a poor review? That's already a reason to wonder about being cut.
If you are going to drag someone in from halfway around the world you are normally expected to not fire them at a whim. The problem here is not the guest workers, the problem is a management mentality of firing at a whim and local conditions that do not protect the locals fired at a whim as much as guest workers fired at a whim. Firing guest workers gets noticed on many levels. Kicking a local out the door with no reason given is just American business as usual in some states. It's far too common to blame the people that are not being shafted than those doing the shafting. A different question is why are these people getting dragged in from halfway around the world, which gets hard to honestly discuss because indentured servitude and driving down wages rears it's ugly head while "that guy from country X is brilliant" muddies the waters.
Wouldn't it be amusing if the current batch of private celebrity photos actually came from an "intelligence community" leak after a pile of Apple data was seized. An interesting thing that Snowden has show us is that there is a vast sprawling web of people extending deep into private enterprise that have access to "secret" information. Imagine someone with a few of those photos, they can make serious dollars - it's not as if they are compromising their values of national security and they are already working for profit instead of duty.
