  1. Re:Please help me understand on Ask Slashdot: Tools For Managing Multiple Serial Console Servers? · · Score: 1

    Outside the realm of windows, for boot and boot issues you'll be in command line land anyway. Most mainframe and supercomputer and midrange and micros in my 30+ years of professional life other than windows, OS/2, later novell netware...all needed the command line skills.

    just as an interesting bit of history, Itanium port of OSF/1 did exist briefly in 1999 at Compaq, but project killed. http://www.tgdaily.com/technology/19507-compaq-tru64-unix-runs-on-intels-merced-simulator

    not quickly, there were years of overlap (osf/1 finally stopped being sold in 2010 and supported till 2012). and HP/UX is alive, with updates, new versions.

    Not my favorite Unix either, but I don't think it will be quickly killed.

    Actually, most desertification is entirely natural: the Sahara desert was once moist, green and dense with vegatation, as was the Antarctic, as was Greenland which isn't so green these days.

    not the norm, most developers are the very worst offenders in that regard, the only realm in which their practices are even more egregrious is security.

    I have sad news for you, in the real world having offsite backups does not mean you can quickly recover from a disaster, or even recover at all, or that even all the data really is there and recoverable.

    you're the blowhard. the question was slashdot type speak for why have a shelter that only deals with one orientation, many kinds of homeless teens would need help. But maybe the internet and slashdot in particular is too rough a place for a psychological marshmellow such as yourself. Why don't you google "omg colored ponies forum" and hang out there?
