  1. Re: When did software geeks become the Mob? on Oracle's Aggressive Sales Tactics Are Backfiring With Customers (lightreading.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple's bootup sequence is historically completely opaque and closed. Until they were taken over by NeXT, there was really no way to boot another OS directly on a Mac. Even today when I want to boot up my SE/30 into NetBSD I have to use a little stub bootup of Mac OS 7 with an exploit application to start the NetBSD bootloader. The Mac OS launcher application even spits out a little suicide-like message as it hands off.

    In general, Apple loves and embraces closedness. And they've been litigous motherfuckers almost from day 1.

    Oracle has always been like that. They are the muleskinners of enterprise software. It's just in Larry's blood.

    I'm holding out for PetRock coin. Maybe Ty can get into this and we can all get rich with Beanie Coin!

  5. Thanks for your input, George III.

  6. You have to connect your offline wallet somewhere to 'spend' the currency in it. If the infrastructure is fried, the exchange won't be running.

  7. Hopefully the 'bubble effect' can be contained to this particular boil so that when it pops the pus only gets on the playas messing around with it.

  8. Secured glass ceiling greenhouses.

  9. If you use the peak load 24/7, as you said, then you should get 1/10 of that at the rate everybody else pays for the same service. The other 9/10, you should pay significantly more.

    I just checked, and on my system, /sbin/ifconfig is a 114K binary.

    Linux has one of the few IP stacks that isn't derived from the BSD stack, which in the industry is considered the reference design. Instead for linux, a new stack with it's own bugs and peculiarities was cobbled up.

    Reference designs are a good thing to promote interoperability. As far as TCP/IP is concerned, linux is the biggest and ugliest stepchild. A theme that fits well into this whole discussion topic, actually.

    The keyword there is 'technologically'

    We need to advance technologically, not ramrod through change politically. Our work is cut out for us to educate people and promote technological advances. Freedom is too valuable to sacrifice for expedient change.

  20. Linux appears to be competing with the new MacOS to see which can be the most bastardized obomination derived from unix.

  22. I am still waiting to hear that somebody has killed Poeterring. No something I really wish for, just something I expect. One imagining is that he will be bludgeoned to death with a heavy, older steel-cased electric drill like the one pictured on the cover of 'UNIX Power Tools.'

    We paid $120k for a house on five acres in the country, but it's a 20 minute freeway drive to a major metropolitan city. Not that I choose to drive up into that urban shithole very often anymore.

    The Internet means you don't have to crowd into the costal hellzones to live in an expensive little any longer. You can escape to where you want and can afford, and still be connected. It's not like the 'trapped in the middle of nowhere' situation of the past.

    Still, it's probably good that a lot of lemmings feel they should pack into those areas and leave the rest of the country for us.
