Network interfaces should not rename themselves after reboots. On Red Hat derived distributions, the device name is tied to the MAC address of the interface, so it never changes. On other distributions, "udev" accomplishes the same thing. T

Most organizations don't buy servers with any OS preinstalled. At least in my experience they don't.

I abandoned Linux on the desktop five years ago, and I still occasionally hear some snide remarks about "defection". Even though I still manage a bunch of Linux servers and advocate towards Linux whenever it makes sense.

Powershell is a good scripting environment, but is a lousy interactive shell. And is is exactly _because_ it pipes objects instead of text. When plain text is being passed around, one can build a pipe incrementally and immediately see what

Well, this shows just how good are these buyouts by big corporations: 1. create great product 2. get people on board 3. success 4. get bought by BigCo 5. ??? 6. get crushed when BigCo focuses on something else

I do not think I'm entitled to more that you are willing to give for free. However, I'm entitled to suspect your software may include malware, spyware and/or adware and thus choose not to use it. It has nothing to do with releasing the sour

So, you release software for free but do not provide sources for fear of being ripped off. I understand the reasoning, but I must say your fears are unfounded. The thousands of open source applications out there are the proof of that. There

Any community where you get "points" of any kind becomes a game, which eventually becomes more important than the community itself.

Even after innumberable discussions about this subject, I still don't get why people are so afraid of NAT. The main concern seems to be about ISPs starting to NAT everybody and their dog. Well, guess what, they just can't do that. For start

It seems like a sound principle, in theory, to trade memory by programmer time. After all, one can buy a lot of RAM for the cost of a programmer's work day (even the expensive ECC RAM used on servers). However, most people don't seem to be

The difference there is that software isn't sold, it's licensed. Hardware on the other hand is a physical object which is bought.

The example of going directly to a particular line is not a good one, IMHO. I find myselft often doing stuff that I know that my editor can do faster. Scrolling is one, but there are other examples. This not only doesn't interrupt my train

Being digital doesn't mean using solid state storage. Magnetic tape is probably still the most used medium for digital video cameras. For example, Betacam SX is still used.

Although I'm fond of using some functional constructs where they make sense, I don't like functional languages and this article is an example of why: in search for a functional style, clear code becomes opaque and simple code becomes comple

You forgot the piece that SVN integrates with IDEs. This is it, case closed. Like I said, in most cases you are trying to convince developers that don't want to use any kind of version control. They want IDE integration, they won't use bran

SVN is far from obsolete. Just because there are better alternatives now for distributed version control, doesn't mean that the centralized approach has suddenly stopped working. In most places centralized is the way to go. It may be unbeli

There's more to compilers than desktop/server targets. Although LLVM now targets a number os architectures, it is nowhere near what GCC supports.

You will also consume more power, and have 20 servers to manage instead of one, and you have to customize your data to be distributed between those 20 servers, hampering the possibility of querying that data for patterns that enable you to

That shows a lack of understanding of what kind of hardware is being used in the real world to handle this. With a half-decent SAN with 15k drives and 4Gbit fibrechannel connections, you can get 1000+ IOPS without the storage system even br

Convincing an ethernet switch to send you packets that are not meant for you is, unfortunately, easy. This is a concept that many people should really think about, since many belive that a switched network is "secure".

Most people I know call it OS "EX". In fact, I'm one of those people, even though I know perfectly well it's OS "Ten". OS 10 doesn't ring well with me, perhaps because I never really used any of the Mac OS versions that preceeded it and fee
