calling anything vaguely related to money that displeases you 'socialistic' is dumb beyond words.
The poster did no such thing.
And if you don't understand that sharing salary and bonus information is more typical in a heavily unionized environment than in the "free market", you're the one who is dumb beyond words. As for perfect information being the defining characteristics of the free market, this is merely a theory to which less and less people subscribe outside of academia.
"For 40 years, I programmed in C, C++ and Python, primarily in the Unix and Linux environments. In 2014, I bought a dairy farm in upstate NY. I designed and built an on-farm creamery to produce farmstead sheep's milk cheese and yogurt. "
Yes, Clariion boxes were running WIndows, even after EMC bought them. I remember setting up an AX unit that was running Windows XP. It filled me with confidence in the data we were storing on that appliance.
Well at least it did not mangle files like Windows Home Server.
I'll just request and then record his songs on local FM radio the way he intended them to be heard
Quite. With the tape recorder sitting in front of the radio. So you can capture the sound of A/C, the whiny fridge, the clock ticking, and the neighbor beating his wife, allowing you to recreate the whole experience later when you listen to this music on your yellow walkman.
Virtually every database I've ever seen is a bit bucket. There's precisely zero reasons for them to be on Oracle because the data set is well into the size where PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQL Server could easily provide a more cost-effective alternative.
That's fine for in-house stuff. The problem is when the organization buys an ERP or accounting package that requires Oracle. Maybe it could technically run on MySQL, but the vendor doesn't support that.
Usually the only other supported database is SQL Server, but this means having Windows servers, and for an organization that has made a substantial investment in big AIX or HPUX, it's a show stopper.
Red Hat has done a terrific job of making Linux enterprise-friendly. It's common nowadays to have organizations run RHEL on their old PowerPC or Itanium monsters. Now if Microsoft could release a version of SQL Server that runs on Linux we could all forget Oracle.
The moron that modded my post down didn't consider both the hardware and software companies that made heaps of money through MS's monopoly, which was the point being made. I'm actually a bit shocked that I have to explain that.

Software Justice Warriors. The SJW are people who are mad because they were born too late to fight the actual software injustices of the past, such as the Netscape debacle or the decision to call the unix command "umount" instead of "unmount", so they join digital lynch mobs at the slightest hint of possible software controversy, hoping to fill the void in their existence with strongly worded paragraphs of significantly misinformed opinions about problems that either don't exist or that are blown out of proportions.
Well he did not hack the NSA, he just basically used his rental sysadmin credentials to copy stuff. That would be like Mark Zuckerberg "leaking" Facebook data.
Yes there is some serious incoherence in Microsoft's strategy, always been like that. Just look at mobile - on one hand they buy a handset manufacturer, on the other they fail to improve their suboptimal and antiquated mobile SDK. Or on Windows 8 they push the tablet paradigm, but they lock down their app store so badly that most developers give up on making Metro apps.
From what I've seen, with Windows 10 most of the metro fluff will be gone. Doesn't mean that the whole 8.0/8.1 thing was garbage; there were a lot of improvements besides the metro snafu.
What exactly is offered by Solaris crossbow that doesn't exist in a similar fashion in the IBM (LPAR) or HP (VPAR) virtualization technologies? Nothing but fluff.

Well they can keep the solar panels business, they need it after losing 3 trillions dollars in their stock market since June.
Hopefully you don't think of yourself as more tolerant than him.
Your script failed the Turing test.
KDE is the only group out there, it seems, that thinks we should have different interfaces on different devices.
KDE is also the only group out there that thinks we should have different interfaces on the same device.
the current mobile ecosystem is a mess, so we badly need an alternative
Good idea. There's too many competing platforms that try to be the standard, so we need a new one that will really be the standard.

Um...yes he did. Emphasis mine:
No he didn't. Emphasis mine.
stroking your beard whilst openly counting the minutes until your three-hour shift ends doesn't count as work
Yes it does. It's in the Collective Bargaining Agreement document, section 4, subsection 4.2.6b, under "General notes and allowances".
Be warned that a grievance will be submitted about this by the union representative when she comes back to work after her 54 months maternity leave.

To superficial people out there: yes, there's a picture in her profile. Semi-SFW.
Grow up, idiot. Not every male hiring manager is a boob guy. There are quite a few ass guys out there too.

Nothing is older than water.
What about hydrogen and oxygen?
And exactly what were people committing into in 1980?
Crimes against fashion.
If you look at the Visio diagram in the patent document you'll see.
I don't think he smokes crack, I think he's a SJW injecting the SJW acronym as often as possible in SJW off-topic comments so SJW becomes a cliche.
Can't find that #DEFINE on my twitter
Duh I've seen that kind of comment years ago

Is that the new politically correct term so people with a colostomy bag don't fell ostracized?
