The guy has a working laptop, he won't be constantly interrupted by updates, he won't be flooded by malware and his bookmarks and browsing history won't be stored on a Microsoft server. In the big scheme of things, I'd say he did better than if he had "stuck it to them", and I suspect that he doesn't give a shit whether "they" learn from his post on Slashdot or not.
So your answer is to blame something that works in real life because in theory it shouldn't.
Have you ever considered a career at the DMV? They're always looking for people like you, who understand that strict rules with no room for common sense is what society really needs.
Hulk Hugan is not a billionaire. Posting a video of him having consensual sex is not news, especially if it comes after a failed blackmail from the person who shot the video - who ended up getting money from Gawker instead of getting money from Hulk Hogan.
Yes, but now it will be geoptimized clickbait! Maybe it will even get regional. Soon you won't even have to know about things other people click on, the stuff you'll see online will be things the other cool members of the PTA "get". Think global, whine local.
What's the most common form of online harassment? According to the study, it's offensive name-calling.
Name-calling is not mere "harassment": it's psychological violence, same as people (so-called "friends") not Liking a motivational image posted on Facebook while you never fail to Like theirs.
The FBI or DHS should get involved, we can't let society go down that path.
I do have a general problem with the "tax the rich" , eventually you will run out of "rich people" in the city.
In most large cities you can see it immediately at the line between the two jurisdictions: on the core city side the streets are shitty and dirty, and 1 foot away on the suburb city side it's all brand new streets with pretty trees and flowers. Keep fucking the wealthy and they'll move to the suburbs, bringing their tax money with them.
Ouch that sounds really bad. Wonder what that vendor or your was up to, they must have been doing something really nasty for an update like that to break in such a way.
This happens all the time with all kinds of products. This is because they have very very specific test cases that are only validated on very very specific o/s releases.
For instance, look at this exciting series of support windows for SAP Hana:
Contrary to the unclear statement in picture in chapter "Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA (RHEL for SAP HANA)" where you can see the gray arrow for RHEL 6.8 from June 2016 which might indicate that it is a validf release for SAP HANA SPS 12 Red Hat Enterprise 6.8 is NOT supported for SAP Hana SPS 12. We cleared this with an official ticket @SAP. See also Note 2247020 - "SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for RHEL 6.7" where RHEL 6.8 explizitily is excluded from support !
Same kind of limitations is to be expected with most ERP/MRP/CRM/etc. You have to stay in their narrow "corridors" to be supported or you're on your own when shit hits the fan.
The key elements are known but people tend to get their panties in a bunch when it's being proposed.
For instance:
1) Fire the Goldman Sachs puppetmasters at the Fed and raise interest rates to help normal people build a small nest egg instead of providing cheap money to investment bankers.
2) Stop putting single moms on a pedestal; instead, recognize it as a social problem. Children of single moms are immensely overrepresented in prison and welfare populations, while children raised by foster parents are statistically a lot more likely to achieve a good standard of living. There's plenty of competent, financially comfortable foster parents in the country; they're currently "shopping" for children in Asia and Africa because in America we're too proud to consider giving away children.
3) Stop hurting small business owners with federal rackets like Obamacare or unrealistic minimum wages
4) Stop buying products and service from companies that stash obscene amounts of money offshore, like Apple (200 billions => 500% of annual profit) or Microsoft (100 billions => 500% of annual profit). Compare this to Amazon (1.5 billions => 37% of annual profit) or Netflix (650 millions => 20% of annual profit).
that's just the city getting fatter and more powerful, not providing a useful and necessary service.
Yes. Let me explain to you how real life works: any tax dollar that makes it into the greedy hands of a municipal administration goes first to payroll, benefits or pension of municipal employees, with law enforcement and fire dept getting the lion's share. Think I'm kidding? Here's a quote from the Seattle budget for this year:
The Mayor’s proposed budget responds to these pressures by increasing investment in both SFD and SPD. With regard to SFD, significant funding ($2.4 million) is allocated to expand the department’s recruitment efforts in 2017. This will not result in an increase in the number of firefighters on duty at any given time, but with a larger force available to meet the department’s staffing needs, less overtime will be demanded of each individual firefighter.
See, it's always like that. They raise taxes for some bullshit reason, but the first thing they do is gold-plate their staff - then if there's pennies left they will spend it on helping the homeless.
And how?
in order to support system transformation with regard to the City’s approach toward homelessness services, the proposed budget includes $1 million in investments for staffing and data capacity, enhancing the Coordinated Entry System and standing up the Housing Resource Center.
More staff.
That's how things work, so no, this new tax will not really help people, it will just pay for more bullshit jobs and back-filling positions for civil servants who are too tired to work.
This took me 2.5 seconds to google and I don't even give a crap about the issue.
Could people stop being so damn lazy when the information is easy to verify?
I don't see Chicago in your list, yet it was one of the two examples given. If you want to be a non-lazy person, good for you, but at least do it right.
a little extra tax that won't impact their lifestyle but will offset the negative effect they are having on everyone living around them?
That's the dual fallacy of bleeding heart liberals, especially those who don't have themselves a decent income.
First, that wealthy people have a negative effect on people living around them. That's simply not true, you're just demonizing people that *you don't know* for the sake of justifying the theft of their money. Second, tax money doesn't "offset" negative effects, they simply make the city adminisitration fatter and more powerful.
For people who want to help the poor, there's charity and various NGOs. Leave the others alone and take your socialist views to one of those successful socialist countries, as soon as you find one.
At any rate, those rich aren't really paying much in the way of taxes even if this particular tax is allowed to take effect.
For someone making $250k, that's a $6k tax. It's not bankruptcy but it's like buying the city two venti mochas at Starbucks every day. Just so they can play Social Justice and throw money out the window on misguided programs. Fuck that.
District of Columbia – 4% on the first $10,000, 6% between $10,000 and $40,000, and 8.5% over $40,000
I guess in that instance it's poetic justice, since so many people in DC feed at the public trough. They're basically just a digestive system transforming federal taxpayer money into municipal taxpayer money, removing 91.5% of the value in the process.
In 10 years, the Seattle City council will complain about the impact of commuters on its road infrastructure, with larger and larger numbers of tech workers living outside the city where they are not subjects to Seattle taxes
I don't know what exactly you see in your list but it's probably everything, not just security ones.
The only way to do it would be to piggyback on the updates in a valid RHEL subscription to pick & choose, but I'm pretty sure that would break the EULA.
I don't mean that they release updates that cause problems within the o/s, I mean that they release updates that the vendor's product may not work with. I've seen that happen more than once with specialized apps; for instance, a million-dollar wonder behaving weirdly after upgrading some obscure library from 4.7.3u22 to 4.7.3u24.
And of course when it happens you don't get an obvious error message; something weird starts happening - maybe sessions don't serialize properly when they reach a specific size or something like that - and you may notice it days after the update. Troubleshooting becomes really entertaining and of course since you're using the wrong o/s the vendor will not touch it and won't be able to reproduce your problem.
That's one aspect of RHEL that is important. You can reject all updates except for severe security patches. If you use CentOS or one of the clones (ex: Oracle Linux) then it's all or nothing, so you end up either playing roulette with bugs.
I'm not saying this is a showstopper for using CentOS, but if you pay a lot of money for a specialized product that is certified to run on RHEL 7.1, running it on a "compatible" CentOS is not always a good idea even if it "works".

How would you eliminate the cycle of poverty?

a whole 2.5% in taxes for people with huge amounts of disposable income
That's 2.5% on the income *before* other leeches have taken their cut. It's not 2.5% of the disposable income. It's a lot of money for no added value.
This took me 2.5 seconds to google and I don't even give a crap about the issue.

I don't see rich people fleeing Chicago or NYC.
What? Can you post a link to support that? Income tax is usually state, not municipal.

I'll admit my sample size is small
You have to pace yourself. Think of it as a marathon, not a sprint, and it should help with your sample size.
When I install yum-cron and only select security updates, how is that not the same?
Doesn't work. The security updates are not tagged as such in those repos, that's a feature available only in paid versions of RH repos.

or
