You are wrong. Memory is not always expressed in GiB, and there are certainly architectures with base 10 memory (you only show you are young making a silly assertion such as that)
Your linked article doesn't really prove that one should use ECC, it speaks of studies showing wide range of errors, from "roughly one bit error, per hour, per gigabyte of memory to one bit error, per millennium, per gigabyte of memory"
Then it takes google's study as gospel truth, "25,000 to 70,000 errors per billion device hours per megabit (about 2.5^(–7) x 10^(11) error/bit-h[ours])(i.e. about 5 single bit errors in 8 Gigabytes of RAM per hour using the top-end error rate), and more than 8% of DIMM memory modules affected by errors per year."
Maybe google has a problem the rest of the world doesn't....
nonsense, plenty of places do database or VSAM without the CICS stack. I did COBOL at a couple places that did healthcare insurance and related financials, never had to touch CICS
1. pick one of the three very common mainframe OS that is interesting to you: Z/VM, Z/OS, Z/VSE 2. you violate IBM's license agreements and get a torrent or whatever of the disk images of installation set up for Hercules emulator 3. enjoy your illegal virtual mainframe
mainframe and midrange financial system apps are tested and rolled out over very long time periods, usually not 'held together with duct tape". That phrase describes popular script based web stack apps.

Correctness not an issue; you merely have difficulty with common usage, common sense and ability to relate to normal humans, is all.

a few decades ago I had a couple of professors that had expanded the universe between their ears with lithium salts
and I've watched SELinux heads waste days trying to figure out why it's killing standard apps that used to work for years
societies with *high industrialization* have higher blood pressure, salt doesn't matter.
cigarettes aren't necessarily bad, just don't smoke them.
when I shake off I eject sugars and proteins too. you're not doing it correctly
other security systems exist, many believe that SELinux is causes more problems than it solves

So you suck as a sys admin. Try another hobby.
We who have studied geophysics know it includes climate drivers such as insolation.
You are ignorant, educate yourself before spewing first.
or you could spend 20 minutes reading about it on their web page instead of relying on slashdot summaries, you lazy git
but the point is that it's fringe language, not very popular at all and no job openings for it.
No, the Facebook stack is not built using Haskell.
"..and most homes do too" -- Vinny "the torch"
unless you put it in a recurring cron job it's not alive
I've worked at a three places that did MicroFocus COBOL on Linux, huge in insurance world
if you just want to play, 'sudo apt-get open-cobol' on your debian or ubuntu or mint box http://sourceforge.net/project...

which python are you talking about? 3.x, 2.5...2.7???? yes those different languages used for things....

please list the huge companies using it
you are correct, the hour is not a SI metric unit of measurement
until the data mentioned in this article, "never" really meant "since measurements began in 1978"
our records went to the 70s, until this article anyway
