The comments are terrible, blaming Oracle (I guess that's trendy these days), some people even advise suing Oracle. This is a system administration failure, not an Oracle failure. Basically they didn't test their recovery strategy

I am a frequent traveller and they lose my luggage all the time, about 5% of my trips. In case you are wondering, this is at western airports and with "good" airlines. Funny (?) enough, most often they lose my luggage on direct fl

He's off by a factor of two (54Mbps vs 100Mbps), but that doesn't invalidate his argument.

I laugh at this useless institution, but then I realize that many "real" institutions are probably just as useless and anachronistic as this particular one.

Just don't get the ?40 series, it's the series without physical trackpad buttons. You can put the ?50 trackpad in it, but that's more hassle and doesn't work in Windows well without extra reflashing. Thankfully, they rev

Same here. Once a year or so I enter Hofer (Aldi for Austria) because I remember they had some cookies I liked, and I am shocked that I can't find ANYTHING I usually need for my everyday cooking there.

I reserved unix.dev for the regular domain reservation price, not the crazy "premium domain" price because unix.dev was not part of the premium domain list. However, Google determined that no, unix.dev should be a premium domain,
