    What are you blathering about? This is something carried on one's person, drawn and used on the perp as he attempts to drive away

    My uncle in his 70s was a repo man during college, never was busted. The law in Illinois would not protect him until he arrived at dealer with car, until then was car thief (many states similar)

    You are clueless.

    You can indeed hack someone's brakes, such that they fail after a few applications while driving. There is another hack making automatic transmission go 1st, 2nd and then into reverse instead of third. You can make steering linkage break while driving too. All these things done overnight under car for the victim to experience the next day.

  8. Re: Ubuntu?! on IBM Launches Linux-Only Mainframes · · Score: 1

    Yes it does, RedHat are major contributors to that bloated rubbish. Sadly all the distros that are "enterprise certified" for various common wares are going to systemd. A good argument for pressuring vendors to certify on BSD I say...

  9. Re:Ubuntu?! on IBM Launches Linux-Only Mainframes · · Score: 1

    You are confused, Ubuntu Server is inferior how from Redhat or SLES? Since I admin hundreds of servers running all of those (plus Debian and CentOS), I can definitely tell you in what areas Redhat/CentOS and SuSE are inferior

  11. Re:Ubuntu?! on IBM Launches Linux-Only Mainframes · · Score: 1

    Eh, there is not much difference between Debian and Ubuntu Server, and Debian was the best server Linux distro until the systemd twats ruined parts of it the same as the other major server distros

    Those "linux only" mainframes still had LPARS under PR/SM first layer hypervisor, this new machine will allow KVM along side of PR/SM

    you have some incorrect information also

    First layer virtualization is provided by PR/SM to deploy LPARS prior to this announcement. Linux was not running "natively"

    Of course the Z architecture is modified PowerPC processor based

    Nonsense, there is tech that can recover car from armed assailant as he drives away. You'll be replacing window, bumper (corpses don't brake) and needing blood cleaned from upholstery, and having to respond to law enforcement with "correct" answers but all that cost is small compared to price of car. Also society benefits from removal of scum bag.

    we have a new 1.7 mile biking/walking path added to the existing one through town, but one of the "pluses" justifying its construction was its ability also for police to use as shortcut for their cruiser autos.
