You are correct and I mistyped. Python has limited lambdas not a lack of lambdas.

I doubt I'm the only one but I really don't like python. Python makes simple things hard. It has no switch statements, no lambdas. It has significant white space (I've tried and tried but I can't get over it). There is no simple way to drop

Before I got into the "professional" world I never used my email. I had one mostly to sign up for things and a few notifications from services. When I started my first job, that was related to my career, my email use sky rocketed. Email is

First I would request it from my ISP. The more people requesting the more likely they are to take it seriously. The second thing I would do is setup ipv6. We are currently in a chicken/egg problem. No one uses ipv6 because no sites use it.

This is wonderful in theory but I've purchased laptops pretty recently (Thinkpad x200e) which I didn't fully vet before I purchased. This laptop had lots of issues. Non Working Wifi, couldn't sleep correctly and had issues with sound. Havin

Packing, documents, install cds. There is also the cost of creating drivers for Linux. Testing the machines before production. You also need to do random sample tests after production. There are a lot of challenges. Those are simply the one

I want hardware support. I want a set of open specs on a laptop. That way FreeBSD, Debian, Ubuntu, and Slackware could all possibly run on it. I don't want to purchase a system in which if you use their preinstalled version of Ubuntu it wor

Linux computers sell in much smaller quantity. This causes increased costs of manufacturing.

For myself quite often. My boss calls me and lets me know that 'x' server is having 'y' issue. I'm on my phone's wifi hotspot so I'll log into the server and answer questions while we talk over what is going on.

I'm really not a big fan of the direction that they are taking stackexchange. Looking over a list of the avaiable sites you have: Linux and Unix, System Administration, Power Users, Ubuntu, Programming, Software Engineering/Development, IT

Is there any reason we can't create a new root. Then have lookup servers who have both roots. So the lookup server sees 'example.com' and checks ExampleNIC. ExampleNIC doesn't have 'example.com' and so the lookup server checks ICANN Root. I

Wouldn't you have to upload at least a read-only subkey of your tarsnap key not your ssh key. Github works because sshd only requires a copy of the public key to be stored to log in with the private key. This would destroy the secure model
