  1. Re:Software Freedom Missionaries Can't Sell Linux on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 1

    The server use could be the best argument about why they should learn about Linux. A lot of businesses use Linux servers, etc.

    PHP? What the hell is that? Some hacked version of .NET?

  4. Re:Why Should Teacher Know or Care About Linux? on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If this teacher, or anyone else, is unaware of the truth about Linux, that represents a failure by Linux.

    Indeed. Believe it or not, I still get people, looking at my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.4, asking which version of Windows it is.

    We're talking about a company that's over 25 years old with lots of publicity on the television and in newspapers.

    And yet there is still people who still think Microsoft makes everything on the planet run, except for the Nintendos and the Playstations.

    Don't be shocked that people never heard of this "Linux" thing.

    The price of that new display will be very low, however they'll get you on the cost of screen refreshes.

    Thanks for destroying my argument. The judge won't be able to use it (that's a lot of inter-connected assumptions anyway).

    There are not the dozens of episodes of Homer doing nothing but sleeping that would be required for your theory to be worth considering.

    You're right. I mean, I don't mind a show about nothing, but I gotta draw the line somewhere!

  13. Re:Technically on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Technically, we only see about 20 minutes of their lives every week.

    For the sake of the argument, let's round to 52 episodes per year and 30 minutes episodes (even though there's only around 20~25 episodes of 20~22 minutes every year). Let's also forget the occasional "one week/month/etc later" bits.

    This means that, after 20 years, the characters have only "aged" 20 years x 52 weeks x 30 minutes = 520 hours, i.e. not even 22 days have passed.

    Cloud companies will likely not make metering very easy or cheap because they *want* you to get carried away.

    And how does that differ from the cellphone companies?

  19. I don't think so on Why Auto-Scaling In the Cloud Is a Bad Idea · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think auto-scaling the clouds based on actual demand is a really great idea. I think farmers would really like that feature, in fact.

    You, sir, are obviously not a Mac user.

    "Snappier" is a term which is reserved for talking about Safari, after an update (no matter if it's faster or not).
