Good thing that only applies to very specific versions of a particular bootloader, that you may or may not be running (I'm not using GRUB 2 anyway...).
VNC isn't the product you want. You might want to consider looking at NX (there is the proprietary implementation from NoMachine, and the protocol is open source so there are projects like FreenNX)
Actually, considering the way the industry has been going the past several versions of Windows, is this very surprising? XP still persists in a lot of organizations (sadly). Most places didn't deploy Vista, they waited until 7. And most places are still on 7, out of dissatisfaction with later releases (which also makes Windows 7 the standard, not Windows 10)
Except most people in jail are none of the above. Either that, or you really don't know what crime statistics look like in American cities, or have family that is or has been in jail.
Depends on the crime. I don't think that most of the people in prison/jail belong there. It only makes them a further liability to society. Instead of making people totally worthless, how about we either A- have better alternatives to a for-profit prison system, like public humiliation, or B - actually make something useful out of these people?
I think "Remote Desktop" is common knowledge among Slashdot's readership. And they've done articles on Continuum in the past. It's a tech news aggregator, not a newspaper for the general public. Technical terms are allowed.
I've had mixed luck with ATI/AMD GPUs, I do buy them for one big reason - OpenCL. CPU wise, my last AMD build was a FX-8120, which felt like a step backwards from a Phenom II x4 for a lot of things. Not that I wouldn't build AMD again - if I build a new virtualization server (my current ESX box is a PowerEdge 2950 that was given to me, fully loaded with RAM, SAS drives, and dual Xeons, can't argue with that) I'd go with AMD, and I'm likely to give AMD another shot when the Zen architecture hits
If only Red Hat would stop screwing up the Linux world with bad decisions (PulseAudio, Network Manager, Systemd, Wayland; to name a few), the GNU world might be attractive.
Agreed. Linux used to be simple. It used to be stable. It used to 'just work.' Now, I no longer tell people to use Linux. I tell them to buy something - Windows if they need something basic, or buy a real UNIX if they need it (nothing against the *BSDs, but software/driver support isn't there right now). My home servers are running Solaris and IRIX, because they both work (and I have the SPARC/MIPS hardware) without issues. Systemd wishes it could be launchd or SMF, but it's not. PulseAudio took years to stabilize, while Solaris 10 ran fine for me with OSS. And for the business world, while I like supporting Open Source projects (I've donated time, money, and code in the past), having things actually work is far more important.
Java (the language) is compatible, but it's my understanding that going from Java 6 to Java 7 some of the package names changed (and some packages were dropped). I could be wrong (I haven't developed in Java since 6) but didn't all of the com.sun packages change to com.oracle or something like that?
Honest question - how am I trolling when I'm stating things that many people have seen and reported back to Microsoft? Windows 10 is slower then its predecessors on 32 bit hardware, and I've stated what was eating CPU time (desktop effects and Windows Defender, neither of which can be disabled)
I love that someone thinks I'm trolling when I'm stating what many people (not just me) have seen. Windows 10 is a lot heavier then 7 or 8 on equivalent hardware
I hope not. There are quite a few places that I'm running 32 bit operating systems (my MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.6, for example) that will not be migrated to 64 bit.

Doubtful, since Microsoft is doing the same thing with Windows 10
I know it's a troll, and a pretty dated one at that, but...
If you're a VB developer, you have no business being a sysadmin.
Hey, guess what? Learn how a computer works, then we'll talk. Seriously. Don't they teach you guys anything in school anymore?
No, it's more like comparing a car with a column shifter vs a floor shifter. It's different, but works nonetheless.

My eject key is to the right of F12 and above delete.

I'm sorry, but I think the module you wanted for systemd was bootloaderd.

Actually, while not pirated, the Windows 10 installer will uninstall applications it deems "incompatible," such as the Cisco VPN client.
For a business you should be using WSUS for your updates and your admins should block the Windows 10 update package.

Or have no choice in the matter. Remember, the people that make the decisions on HW/SW are not always the ones who know the fine details.
Apple and Microsoft both do this, what are you talking about?
LibreSSL is still growing, and is limited in what platforms (OS and arch) that it supports.

What, you're not running KDE on your AIX workstation?
