I have used KDE4 and I still have no idea of the benefits of plasma. I also have no idea why people oogle over Mac OS because I see it as a different paradigm, but not superior or even inspiring. Sometimes, I actually LIKE a 2 step process in that it gives me a moment to think about the task at hand, when I have 10 to juggle at that moment. I don't MIND a taskbar.
I am all for learning a new system, but from what I have seen it looks like a circus show.
LOOK PLASMA!!! It can so so much more....
OK.....what can it do?
It can make your desktop not a desktop
Why? What benefit does it give me?
LOOK...SHINY ICONS
and nobody has given me any practical examples of how this helps. Hell, I can even understand some of the practical uses for the compiz/beryl/kwin cube, window jumping, etc.
Lets try this again. Nobody is going to let you be a CIO or a CXO fresh out of college/university. You will not start at $90K even out of school. You WILL work for it. Anybody who hires a fresh graduate to be a CIO deserves the fallout they get.
I hate to break it to you, but CIOs make a ton more than that. PROGRAMMERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND STORAGE GUYS make $90-150K a year here. Any CXO not making at LEAST $225K/yr is easily laughable. My manager's boss is making ~$200K/yr.
Availability != reliability. RAID is for availability. Going to backup means a failure took you down. Downtime is expensive, if only in lost confidence. The point to focus on is that you cannot simply put faith in a single layer approach to security or availability.
If never been down truly matters you have to have multiple data centers. However, there are always a need/cost trade off to work within. Most high availability solutions require redundant disks within clustered servers using clustered application routers. The application/DB disk is run from a redundant controller/multi-path storage array that backs up to disk/tape and is also stored off site. There are multiple NICs on both machines in some sort of team/failover mode onto redundant but separate network switches. In the case of a failure, you open a case with the vendor as a precaution just to certify the system all over again. You do not wait for a second failure. You can lose any entire machine or even power to the building and still operate on generators until that power is restored.

You could also just have hot sparing. When your uptime matters, spend the money to get things in place to handle failures. Most reliable machines will have a mechanism to either rebuild automatically from a hot spare pool or simply need administrator intervention to rebuild.
You have been told that your idea of what an assault rifle is was incorrect. However, you don't let facts get in the way of your deluded little world. You let other people define what is and is not acceptable to you. Not once was anybody talking about a "Bullet Spraying Machine" and yet you insist that is the topic of discussion.
In short, you are a narcissistic moron with whom I do not want to have a discussion. You are not going to budge on your assumptions and I will not bend my facts.
I take issue with people who believe that the.223/5.56 NATO round is designed to primarily "wound" instead of kill. The reasons that Stoner's gun were due to increase in ammo that could be carried as well as the high velocity theory of wound channel ballistics. Stoner sold not to the army but to officials who implemented his design. There are issues with the various types of.223/5.56 ammo, mostly in the realm of penetration and ability to hold up on more solid targets. However, all in all, it is a good round that does an effective job of incapacitating or eliminating threats. Trust me, you do NOT want to wound anybody when you are in combat. They can kill you and the men around you. Check out theboxoftruth for more info.
People don't care about facts in the case. Give it a scary name and people will react. Hell, you could pass an anti net-neutrality law by calling it DONTRAPEDOGS ACT.
Watch more movies. Using phrases like "Blow People Away" makes me think you have a poster of Jeane Claude Van Dam on your wall. Guns help equalize force. People who argue against them seem to think that a 100lb woman should fight of a 210lb rapist with her fists.
It is not semantics. You are a being insanely ignorant and proud of the fact. There are plenty of "hunting rifles" that were banned because of the "Assault Weapons Ban." You choose to remain ignorant of plain facts because you are being forced SCARY PROPAGANDA about what guns are and what they do.
Oh, you want to have a magazine that exceeds 10rds? ASSAULT WEAPON!
Oh, you want to have a forward grip? ASSAULT WEAPON!
Did you know that many types of AR15 style weapons are Assault weapons? They and the Ruger Mini 14 shoot a.223 inch diameter projectile. The.223/5.56mm are known as HORRIBLY EFFECTIVE defensive caliber choice because they are effective at both short/medium/long range and are less likely to cause post penetrative damage beyond their original target.
Why do YOU get to define what is "Too Powerful?" The rules regarding assault weapons is arbitrary at best and horribly preposterous at worst. They focus on weapons that LOOK DANGEROUS but are often used as plinkers (casual shooters) or target/hunting rifles. Sure, they CAN be used in crime, but they are also used in so few crimes as to be considered anomalies on a case of scale.
If you think that weapons are only capable of mass murder, then realize that with a simple revolver, there are shooters out there that can fire 16 shots (2 guns) in under 2 seconds and hit man sized targets at 10 yards with them. The issue is not what the tool is capable of, but rather what the person using that tool is capable of.
In short, computers are capable of ruining people's lives, but that does not mean computers are evil.
You get to call it an assault rifle when you can tell me exactly what about it constitutes it as an assault rifle, as well as the corollary of what it assaults.
A warning. Please be prepared. Coming into an argument like this without knowing (Not citing from some source that an assault weapon has X features of Y) will simply make you look foolish.
People with no means to rise up or defend themselves are subjects. The word subjects has been deprecated by the new word "Taxpayers" or "Constituents." We are Citizens, and we own this government. It is not an entity to subject its own will upon us. We are supposed to be the force allows the government to exist for our benefit. When it ceases to do so, and acts for its own benefit and on its own accord, it should be abolished and replaced with one that suits us.
Have you considered the possibility that Novell cannot open some of those products due to conflicting license arrangements with companies that they collaborated with and licensed technology for themselves? As it were, Novell is one of the top contributors to open source. Only recently has Red Hat made mention of opening their RHN tools like Satellite server.
ZFS is an excellent filesystem but with some serious bugs that are poorly documented. I will admit I have not played with it in a while, but when I did, there were a considerable number of growing pains and kernel tunables that needed to be tweaked to get it to play nicely. The read block size is 128K by default, the ARC buffer size is ridiculously designed to assume that you want to cache data, filesystem syncs run to check integrity even if you have disk integrity checks on the SAN, etc.

Thanks. I will look into it.
I am just more concerned with everything being a plasmoid and why the desktop is not the desktop anymore, esp after 4.1

Yeah, but if his grub gets messed up, he literally shits the bed.
Something like "Alienware" or "Sapphire Graphics" for about 1 second before I hit "Launch."

Gun control is 90% about control and 10% about "guns." Guns are no more the perpetrators of any violence than computers are of cracking/hacking.
