Muscle is no longer required these days. Cyber attacks and drone strikes are well within the budget capacities of wealthy individuals, never mind nation states. It may not have happened yet, but one no longer needs an aircraft carrier to project power around the world.
I would have said "aircraft carrier or ICBM", but point taken.
BTW, I have set up many, many disks using the partitioning and formatting tools in YaST (which IIRC are just a UI on top of gparted, yes?) and I've never had a screwup that was not my own fault for trying to do something very stupid.
I've been using [open]SUSE nonstop since 9.0 or so. Way back when, I did notice a few issues where YaST would occasionally get out of sync with conf files when trying to deal with USB-connected networking devices. But I've not seen anything like this happen the last 4 or 5 years. On 12.3, I have been using YaST pretty much interchangeably with Apper and the other KDE config tools, and haven't seen a slip-up yet with package management/dependencies, USB devices, networking, or anything else.
The ncurses version of YaST is very handy when you want or need to update something (e.g. proxy when I'm in the office) *before* starting the desktop manager.
It's actually kind of a slow day at work, for a change, so I may go ahead and upgrade this arvo.
I'm a native Southerner. My parents corrected me on the usage when I was a kid, pointing out that only ignorant Yankees and especially ignorant Yankee television writers use "y'all" for the singular.
And since I've already been modded Off-Topic, let me get back on topic by stating that I think the Golden Girls Cosmonaut Guy is probably nicer than the GNAA guy, and definitely gets more First Posts!
The warrant problem can be solved by forcing law enforcement to deliver all warrants in the clear. My company exists purely in cyberspace. There is nobody in authority who can be contacted in person. All requests for assistance must be submitted in clear text, deposited in a publicly readable drop box on our server.
You be trippin', mon.
(If they can't serve a warrant, they'll get a court order served on your provider to cut you off from the Net. Good luck hiding that upstream.)
And Window Maker for units with older/minimal graphics hardware.
BTW, as someone who bitched incessantly about the train wreck that was the initial release of KDE4, I must say the devs turned it around very nicely. I would now happily recommend it to anyone who wants released from the fetters of the Gnome desktop or wishes to avoid further interaction with the new and improved train wreck that Unity is shaping up to be.
Personally, if I even used Ubuntu and I'd not done so already, I'd be been running away from it just as fast I could go.
I would say "Get off that 'buntu junk and onto any real Linux distro"... but then I'd get modded Troll.
Honestly, it seems like every time there's a Linux story on/. these days, half the posts are complaints specific to Ubuntu.
If you don't want to fight your system/desktop, use a different one. I suggest CentOS with Window Maker DE for you guys. (I use OpenSUSE/KDE4 myself, just so you know.)
You use Linux because Linux means you've the freedom to choose, right?
Slashdot Mirror
Everybody can see that you're twisting his meaning,...
"Everybody" who?
My reading of kenai_alpenglow's post was the same as erikkemperman's reading, and I fail to see how it could be read any other way.
So... What's your proposed alternative reading?
NoSQL is a proven technology. It is used in production all over the place including where I work...
... but evidently not as a developer.
Do I understand correctly that you advocate using the database as the place where you store the data for your application?
If so, I concur.
So... Is there some reason it took you 5x as much space to say so as it did me just now?
You're talking about wheels, which are old hat.
They're talking about WHEELZ, which are not.
Not the same thing at all!

There's that annoying word "adhering"... You need to show allegiance to a specific, declared enemy in time of war to prove treason.
Criminal, yes. Betrayal, yes. Treason, no.
You, SirMa'amOrFido, owe me a new keyboard. :)

I know you're not me, AC, but... Just sayin'...
Crap, I wish I'd not posted just now, or I'd mod you up. Very well said.
You're already at -1, so I'll save my mod points.

B-b-b-but Osiris is a Black God!
Linky for those who missed it, last time this happened.
For extra entertainment value, try reading the above aloud, with various regional/national accents.

But have you cancelled all your meetings yet?
Funny that you should mention onions. I take it that you never slice tomatoes, either.
After watching the systematic destruction of the US's solar industry by China...
Uh, what? Looks to me like entrenched US corporate interests are doing a pretty good job of that on their own. No outside assistance required.
ProTip: Learn to use paragraph breaks and to avoid sentences of excessive length.
When you ramble, people's eyes glaze over, and they tag you Off-Topic out of annoyance..
You are aware of the fact that "y'all" is plural, right?
Easy way to spot a ringer from the wrong side of the Mason-Dixon--no respectable Southerner would be caught dead using it to mean only one person. :)
Another tip: In Kentucky, "you'uns" is actually much more common than "y'all".
Supposedly OpenSUSE was going to set BTRFS as default during installation.
I'd really interested in knowing where you think you heard this.

SO QUIT BITCHING,

All it took for the Soviet Union was for it to vote itself out of existence.
I can't help recalling that a measly *1* billion would buy you the world's most popular open source database just 7 or so years ago...
