Nope. All this started because of your arrogant comments and attitude about Elon Musk. Go back and read what you said. Now, I don't know the guy, but I respect his achievements, drive and entrepreneurship.
It's armchair moaning pissants like you who irritate the shit out of me.
...and trust me, I know your type. I routinely reject job applications from people like you. Thankfully, your type is not too common. Most people don't moan about others who have achieved something in life - they just get on with theirs.
Nope, I have a family, big house, the whole nine yards. My time is my own.
You will die alone, forgotten, no achievements.
I'll leave a legacy, impacted positively upon countless lives and careers, and die with a smile upon my dial having achieved everything I set out to do, and had a lot of fun doing it... and so will people such as Elon Musk.
I own two companies and am the very thing you seem to hate so much;-)
Get back to your work before your boss sees you wasting time on slashdot...:-)))))))
Oh, and while you're at it, please clean the snot from your upper lip. It's unbecoming.
...and you know all this because you know Mr Musk personally? Were you ever a part of his team in the past or present? Just because you feel your managers have slighted you in the past does not mean others are the same. Do you know what it takes to build a successful business? What sacrifices it usually requires? The chronic stress it incurs. Do you have a clue? I seriously doubt it, else you wouldn't be sprouting this kindergarten nonsense.
Seems you have a problem with successful people, hence the derogatory "these people" reference.
Come on, accept your lot in life: you are a worker bee, don't be ashamed of it or be angry at the world and the people who are prepared to accept the risks (and losses) and take the lead.
Without leaders/entrepreneurs you wouldn't have a job. Without leaders you wouldn't have a fucking computer, or the fine threads you wear, or a car, etc. There comes a point when naivete is no longer cute, but simply silly.
Couldn't agree more about partitions. I've run out of space on/usr/opt/var etc several times over the last decade on various systems. There is just no foolproof way to predict the future.
I also don't use LVM - it's just another layer of indirection adding complication if your FS becomes corrupted. I've had too many problems with LVM: and no, not from power outages or resets.
"I think that searching for these kind of words should allow competitors to advertise..."
It doesn't matter what Google says, nor what this ignorant fool thinks, it depends on the law of the land. If certain competitive advertising is illegal (it may be in the UK, I'm not sure, but it is illegal in many countries), then that's the law.
Call me an ol' timer, but who gives a flying turd about Java? IT managers or other morons who get a boner from New! Improved! buzzwords (like Web 2.0)?
I've yet to encounter a shop where it's an integral part of development or product. Whenever I land on a site which uses it, things slow down while it downloads the silly code, etc. Worse than flash (which I just block).
...and what's with the huge fucking memory footprint? I don't know what it's current memory requirements are, but there's something about a 40MB friggen jvm floating around eating resources that make my balls ache.
Seems anything Sun works on is a greedy resource sob. OpenOffice is great, but for shit sakes, it's slower than my grandmother with two broken hips and chews memory like it's fritos.
Yes. And I've found that if you hook up an E-Meter(TM) to your bum (on advice from my brother in the Church(TM) who also happens to be my sister's husband's offspring) and your left nut, then you also start to really appreciate the asymptotic tangent inherent in the sublime existential spirit of the universe; if you embrace this ephemeral confluence of cosmic data, then you too will understand the truth of the sublimation.:P what a fucking plank.
Does MySQL support:
- transactions
- stored procedures
- triggers
- point in time recovery
- serious scalability (we're not talking about your grandma's cooking recipes here or your blog posts)
- etc
Simply answer yes or no. If any one of the above is No, then MySQL cannot be used by any business which has had use of these features in other commercial RDBMS'. PostgreSQL does.

Exactly, nor does it support industry standard SQL elements.

Re:This Could Be The Worst Thing For KDE

KDE 4.0 Is Out

· Score: 1
No, the sad truth is, this should have been KDE4 Beta 1. It's not finished, it's been rushed out. I like KDE and I appreciate that KDE4 is going to be very cool eventually, but this is not the time. And rushing products out before they are finished, saying that the real stuff will turn up in the.1 release, well that kinda reminds me of another company, except they call the.1 release 'Service Pack 1'. Oh please don't be dense. They are adhering to the very important OSS philosophy of release early, release often. If you don't know what that's about, then don't comment on things you vaguely comprehend.
Comparing their excellent (unpaid) work and achievements to MS' is not only stupid, but insulting.
This incident is terrible, and my condolences go out to the family of these soldiers. Accidents happen though - especially in the military. I remember my days in the old SA defence force; you get to play with some pretty dangerous stuff. Automation is great and necessary - it means less young boys have to die defending their country. Anyone who suggests otherwise has never experienced being a soldier and should shove their head back up their ignorant liberal arty-farty ass.
Sadly, these deaths are just a few of many in SA every day; at least they died for their country doing what they loved. Criminal violence in SA is by now, however, so common-place it's not even newsworthy anymore. Babies get raped because it's believed it'll cure AIDS, a baby gets shot in passing (deliberately) during a household robbery, old rinkly pensioners get raped then bludgeoned to death, unwanted (live) babies are chucked into sewer-pits, a live cat gets roasted in a microwave by students, people get shot every day simply for their car, commuters die in crossfire between warring taxi factions, the health minister is a convicted thief and believes beetroot helps with HIV/AIDS, shoe boxes are used as cribs for new-born babies in a hospital, the government actively encourages whistle-blowers to route out corruption, then suspends them when they do, agh fuckit,
Tomorrow South Africa plays England in the rugby world cup.
What an unbelievably fucking fantastic day. Something to cheer about.
Today, SA reggae star Lucky Dube was murdered in a car hijacking.
What a fucking awful letdown.
It's all fucked up when your society loses artists of this caliber to random fucked up mindless animal violence. It's even worse when our skins have turned to hides and we no longer care. We manage to drag ourselves screaming and streaming bloody snot out of the insidious apartheid era, only to find ourselves mired in more mindless random death, guts and blood.
I fucking love this country; I fucking hate this country.
It's all fucked up.
I would still die for this country though. Stupid fucking idiot.
Good point. Too many people think of web servers as if they're only serving their mommy's baby photos.
Starting/forking procs on *busy* web servers is a major issue and can kill a server.
Ask anyone who hosts more than his mommy's baby photos.
How can you possibly blame SBC without first pointing all 10 of your fingers at the government for allowing it to happen? Exactly. Speaking from South Africa, so many people (even here) miss the point that the SA government is one of the largest shareholders in Telkom. Telkom is not privatized in the accepted sense.
We in the ISP industry are constantly running into a wall grinding our teeth about Telkom. The real incompetence and greed comes from the self-serving government who are screwing their own citizens.
It's not quite a banana republic yet, but boy, we're almost there.
Add yet another vote. We use it in a busy ISP environment, and it works well. Open source, good ol' perl, lots of features, stable, highly customisable and "just works". PostgreSQL or MySQL as a backend.
Unlike so many other open source projects, this one is actively maintained and developed with a large user base, so it's constantly improving.
The Amiga also had true multitasking - the ST didn't.
I remember reading in Compute! magazine (remember that one?) way back when how the atari chaps used to dismiss that with "pah, who needs multitasking anyway. What are you going to do with multiple apps open at once?"... etc. Glory days.
