My pet peeve of scientific nomenclature making it's way into the vernacular is the phrase "quantum leap". In quantum mechanics a "quanta" is the smallest package something (like energy) can come in, so a "quantum leap forward" would be the smallest amount that something could progress.
Back in 1999 my GF's co-worker was overheard explaining why there was going to be an Y2K crisis. When the year rolled to '00 all the computers would think in was 1900, and since computers didn't exist in 1900 they would all stop working!
It's a good thing her only job was to clean out dog kennels.
The Linux and OpenBSD implementations of the TCP/IP stack are Open Source. Do you think they'd be better off writing their own closed source version of it from scratch?

I'm certified in AIX and Solaris system administration and I've been running linux on the desktop and servers since 1994 and I can assure you that is a ridiculous statement.
Though I agree with most of your post, the following:
And big slow bullets (e.g.,.45 ACP) are about the best single-round choice for self-defense there is, because not only will they take down the target, if you miss they're much less likely to go through three walls and kill your neighbor's toddler. Even better is a short-barreled 16-ga. shotgun.
I have to take difference with.
Any handgun more powerful than a.22 will easily penetrate six interior walls, as well as a shotgun. That they don't is a myth. Educate yourself at The Box-O-Truth.
I also disagree with your statement that ballistic gel doesn't accurately model human tissue and that cavitation is not a significant effect of a projectile impact. So does practically the entirety of the firearm industry.
That's a good point. As much as I hate what NTP is doing, anyone who things a thumb keyboard is non-obvious has never watched my wife text message from her cell phone. I'm claiming prior art.
I was informed that in the state of Texas it is illegal to use the word "engineer" in your job title unless you a) have passed the P.E. exam or b) drive a train.
My concern is that a "Definitive Guide", especially one geared towards an intermediate/advanced user would not include a section on clustering, one of the most advanced and important additions to version 5.

I think we should start referring to the New Testament as the "Theory of Jesus".
That wouldn't piss anyone off at all.

Everyone knows that RSI is caused by excessive masturbation. That's why I just smile knowingly at the guy with the wrist brace in the next office.
Dude, Bill Gates invented BASIC in the 80s on the back of a napkin on a flight to meet with IBM. Everyone knows that.

Your first line has too many syllables.

But then you can just run /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/script.pl
/lib/ld-*.so* on your systems just to make sure they're secure. :-)

Exactly. Isn't the standard suit "treble damages"? Well, three times jack is jack shit and that's exactly what NTP should get.

And that's the way it should be.
Xen can migrate a running virtualization from one machine to another, snapshotting a running instance is trivial in comparison.
