  1. Re:It's their information if you gave it to them on HR Departments Tell Equifax Your Entire Salary History · · Score: 3, Informative

    the real unemployment rate in the U.S. is currently 23% (pre-clinton way of counting before BoL changed methodology), that's almost Great Depression levels. the knife is threat of living the life of a bum, a hobo. Quit being a shill for our very evil system

    I have that at work, with firefox and chrome also installed, but for some things the Safari just pops up. Apple controls your horizontal and your vertical....

    that's what the very best and smartest devs use at work. mediocre ones have code wizards and jerk around with these IDEs...

    MINIX 3 ate all HURD's market share, what with its features including actually being functional

  5. Re:{something} is amazing! on Updated Model Puts Earth On the Edge of the Habitable Zone · · Score: 1

    It's True! I went on the sun deck on the rooftop of the building with the lockers at the local pool. It was 10 ft. up in the air and I got a terrible sun burn! that's because I was out of the habitable zone! Good thing I didn't go up there at night when the sun was on the other side of the world, I'd surely have frozen to death being outside the HZ

    IBM USA collected the profits made by Dehomag (the german subsidiary). what was your point?

    get real, OpenBSD and FreeBSD let you choose a browser; chromium for example is in the packages. HURD? pffft, who gives a shit

    that's so funny, the devices of this article don't exist yet and your touting the advanced features and superiority over existing commercial devices they will have. are you in marketing? or sales?

    if you mean in the realm of data processing automating, yeah Hitler didn't roll his own systems, he contracted IBM to do it for him.

    what about that McAfee crapware that almost got installed with the java update, good thing I caught that checkbox. what about OpenSolaris (DESTROYED!), what about mysql (buggy unreliable garbage that EATS DATA), what about Java no longer being backwards compatible with 1.6 and cause busniesses major clusterfucks?

    indeed, it's only 225 miles up. go to couple tens of thousand of miles and you're passing through van allen belts, where the Hubble Space Telescope (and certain other satellites) sometimes has to shut down when the field gets too intense. normal consumer CPU and RAM can't function in true "outer space" nor on Mars

  14. Re:Is it a real problem? on You've Got 25 Years Until UNIX Time Overflows · · Score: 1

    you are wrong, the issues have NOT been addressed, plenty of 32 bit code running on 64 bit now will not make the transition because their internal binaries CAN'T be changed, there is no source (we're tallking about enterprise systems including Linux that always have prioprietary drivers, dbms, etc.)

  15. Re:Nonsense, it's 64 bit now on You've Got 25 Years Until UNIX Time Overflows · · Score: 1

    wrong, there is no patch, let alone a simple one.

    32 bit processors (and smaller) are in use in plenty of critical routers, switches and embedded systems that actually must know what time it is.

  16. Re:Is it a real problem? on You've Got 25 Years Until UNIX Time Overflows · · Score: 1

    real problem, plenty of routers running 32 bit bsd, plenty of 32 bit virtual machines in enterprise vmware clusters, plenty of cities using 32 bit unix for their financial systems (15 year + life expectancy on gear) etc.

    most places don't read their mysql error logs. they might read front end web or app logs, but that's all. they'll be fucked.

    which doesn't help in the slightest if you are running programs that can't handle it, like say certain mysql types.

    you give no reasons at all for your phrases "seriously fucking stupid" or "makes no sense at all". serious studies have been done by people who actually don't resort to reasons a 6 year old might give. your blather about dupont's degree of involvement is of no relevance, as even you admit it is legally their process ("just sitting on their process...").

    yes i did. those are not the MS white paper reccommendations. those servers would be severly IO bottlenecked running TFS without huge disk array (multiple spindles/LUN) and fibre san attached. bottom line, single lone server, 100+ users brings the thing to a crawl

    you mean you are cluesless as to what those tools are really telling you. Amazon lost essentially zero, and yes most of the buyers came back later at their convenience.

  23. Re:Yes on Will Renewable Energy Ever Meet All Our Energy Needs? · · Score: 1

    not a pipe dream, there is sufficient scrubland in the USA to grow the biomass needed for liquid fuel needs of vehicles, and the organisms to transform them into butanol or vegatable oil fat already engineered by duPont. Or, as nuclear engineer, I can tell you that our millienia of thorium supply can split enough water to fuel vehicles with hydrogen. no technical limitations at all.
