Of course, a cynic might point out (and I might be one) that the carbon in the fossil fuel was also in the atmosphere at one time, to the tune of no less than 1500 ppm in the Carboniferous period
Maybe, for some. The Deep Hot Biosphere makes an interesting case for a non-biological source for at least some fossil fuel.
I loved how a device could be USB 2.0 compliant yet only work at USB 1.1 speed, because there was "USB 2.0" and "USB 2.0 HiSpeed" or such, a subtle distinction that was not always obvious.
OT but a little funny: this reminds me of a time when I was a vax/vms guy and working with a hardcore unix (ultrix) guy.
My first-blush thought here was that from what I remember of Ultrix it didn't really count as a hardcore Unix, but that would be snarky. Oh wait, this is/., nevermind;)
I was in good old EDT editor (remember that?) and asked the guy for some help on something. he came over to my terminal, hit ctl-z (thinking it would just put my current job in the bg) but, in fact, in EDT editor ctl-z SAVES THE FILE AND EXITS!
oops. he felt embarassed, as well he should have. I was not an emacs guy at that point, yet...
never walk up to someone's terminal and just hit ctl-z. never go full retard, either.
At one point I occasionally had to work on a PrimeOS system, where ^P was the friggin' interrupt character, even in their emacs (which I think was gosmacs). MAN how that plagued me.
The mounting pylons would need to be redesigned, and maybe the wings wouldn't be up to the different force distribution?

Or even better just ask around and find which local shop has a good rep and buy from them! I never understood somebody trying to save $20 by buying an HP or Dell "special" only to end up pulling their hair out because the only "support" if a third tier Indian reading from a cue card whose answer to everything is reboot or wipe. you buy from bob's shop down the street and then you can just walk in and say "Hey Bob I have a problem!" and since we small shops live and die by word of mouth? We actually CARE whether you are happy or not, because when you are happy you are more likely to recommend us to your friends.
So just buy local, you'll get better hardware, better service, and someone you can actually just go to with issues!
That local shop, though, is not likely able to sell identical servers into any given country around the world, and they'd almost certainly have significant remote management shortcomings.
1. Build a product people want to buy. Do not shit on your customers. (HP is now failing here)
With the G8 servers they took a big step forward in functionality, though reliability hasn't been what it should.
2. Support your products to a reasonable degree. (HP is failing here too)
Aye -- though in the same ways that everyone else is. The offshored CSO is pretty much useless, at least the peeps I dealt with every time I opened a warranty ticket. I could usually get a bad disk RMA'd without too much pain, but anything else was painful.
Totally. They have such fine upstanding practices as:
o Harvesting organs from Falun Gong practictioners
o Feeding melamine to babies
o Executing alleged white-collar criminals
o Repeatedly faking science
At my last employer I'd set up kickstart like this, so that it would not wipe a system without confirmation at the pxelinux/grub menu. An unfortunate backfill hire turned out to be quite the bully and threw out everything I'd done, saying that all data should be replicated (and not backed up) and that all systems should be able to kickstart and fully install and bring themselves into service. Some day the jackass's hubris will bite him in the ass, and I hope I get word so that I can send a big poster saying ITYS to my former boss.
The way I've heard it, independent of this article, is that RH won't support RHEL running as a *guest* on non-RH Openstack. They will support multiple other hypervisors, though, including but not limited to RHOS, so this is in fact clearly aimed at non-RHOS OpenStack.
When I found myself in the pool about ten years ago, it was tough. Google "Seattle freeze". I don't know if it's Scandanavian reticence or what, but time and again I saw deliberate walls built by women. Online was the only way to get traction, and even then only with eHarmony, whose fees and entry questionnaire seem to weed out the window-shoppers. If one is 6'0" things open up a bit, or if one works for MSFT, which is a closed ecosystem.
I had one of these back in.... 1986 or so. Graph theory book was like maybe 50 pages, clearly composed on a *typewriter*. Cost $45, which was pricey at the time.
Here's an idea -- let the land go back to whatever it was doing before it was cleared for cattle. Like maybe being a forest.
"Yet we can't ask everyone to become vegetarians."
Agreed, eating meat co-products is just as stupid and damaging as eating meat.
"point to an approach backed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates that takes animals out the process altogether."
Cultured meat that's grown in -- yes -- fetal calf serum isn't the answer either.
The real answers are to a) stop breeding like rats and b) stop mistaking animals (and their reproductive fluids) for food.
I've seen similar instances, ISTR back in the day Solbourne's fork of SunOS somehow not handling punctuation in passwords. I'm constantly astounded (though I guess I really shouldn't be) when I encounter systems that downright won't accept a password with characters other than [A-Za-z0-9].
A related yet perhaps lesser hell is having either
a) A name that doesn't conform to FIRST MIDDLE LAST, ie. multiple middle names as I think is common with eg. some Hispanic cultures
b) A name that includes a hypen or apostrophe (or non-ASCII characters like ø)
For a while I had *both* and the degree to which software out there is broken is amazing. I regularly get physical mail with HTML-type encoding in the middle of my name. Because, you know, Europe doesn't exist >_.
One airline, eg. accepted my full legal name when signing up for their FFM program, but not when booking travel, so there was no way to associate the FFM account with the reservation.
I'm guessing that you cheaped out on Comcast and went with residential service.
With Qwest, I'm also guessing that you happen to be close to their site/CO, not 11000 feet away like I am.

I think there's some way to generate $ from having people follow Youtube links.
Agreed. And text lets me read when I can't make noise or hear my device, eg. when my son is sleeping or the environment is loud.

I suspect that most "Municipalities" wouldn't begin to know how to operate such a thing, or have funding for it.

If they're somewhere that Comcast has bothered to run coax, chances are that they could get *DSL, which often sucks even harder.
