Microsoft can be bad, but I think Oracle is run on pure spite. According to legend (I wasn't actually there - this is secondhand, so do take with a grain of salt), they tried to convince a company I worked with previously that they nee

Assuming we're really talking about sleep apnea, which snoring is a symptom of, and does affect your sleep in some really nasty ways. The prevalence of memory problems goes beyond what apnea would cover. Let's talk stats for a sec

Actually, that's pretty much a perfect use case. "This environment is nothing like where I want it to run, and may even actively conflict with it". It's not really hard to take a chroot and make it an image, either. For

It runs on top of a user-space virtual machine (xhyve, IIRC) that runs on Hypervisor.framework that IS running linux.

The only hardware I've seen having problems recently were Macbooks. I'd research the model before I would try to put Linux on one. The ones having two graphics processors are really finicky, as I can attest to about my work laptop

I wish they'd run this campaign again so I could buy a second.

This is deep nostalgia for me. A bootloader and a toy ... kernel ... were the first things I ever wrote after leaving Apple II BASIC behind. The local library had no books on anything other than BASIC and assembler. I didn't know what

SSSD has been really, REALLY good to my group... except during initial setup. The logging failed me several times in trying to track down problems. The biggest one was when one of the our sysadmins had mistyped "default". Everythi

It has to have been possible for the information to have traveled between the parties normally. In this case, it has to have been possible that a photon would have traveled between the two. Since the information couldn't have arrived F

Every sysadmin at my previous job (a Fortune 500) would stop the moment that number is off the expected by a few machines, just long enough to verify it's correct. That may be due to having made a mistake like this once. I know that&#x

It's file-based. If you have a copy open in one location, open a copy in a second, save the second, then make changes in the first and save the first, you can override the second copy's changes. That said, KeePass 2.x (which came

I'm late to this one, but the most common symptom is extreme sleepiness during the afternoons, even to the point of narcolepsy. It'll cause all kinds of havoc with your sleep routines. I got suspicious after falling asleep at work

Saw some last -week- when I was getting a tour of a medium-sized small-parts manufacturer. "It works, don't touch it" is the motto. Some of the more brave souls had started moving what they can to newer hardware, dosbox, or s

In so far as there's a "right answer" for the pay-to-win parts of the game, this is it. EDH, in general, is much gentler on using cards that aren't the best and most expensive thing around. I have a tourney-competitive

Might I suggest http://pastebin.com/2PHXi78A instead? It handles a few bugs from the original, and cleans the nested loops.

Wouldn't it -very- slowly lose energy due to gravitational radiation?

I don't know about the parent, but I have tried this - repeatedly, in fact, including taking a number of reading comprehension exams each way, just to see the effects. Something that frequently happens is that I'll mix up side ch

P-Strings (Pascal) do exactly this. The original ones limited it to 255 (instead of using the pointer size), but others used more. One of the nice things about using Pascal for programming back In The Day. The article says it doesn't

It was actually in a number of his short stories in the Known Space universe: the slaver disintegrator. I had a physics teacher in high school who gave us an assignment to describe what the effects of a sci-fi device would actually be like

The only problem with this is that we might not have long enough for multi-cellular life to recover. While the red giant phase is a long way off, some scientists think that the carbon cycle could shut down as little as 500 million years fr

You're thinking of Poul Anderson's "Tau Zero". It won a Hugo award in 1971. There are a few others that have worked the same concept, but none so famous or well-written.

While he didn't write it, he did choose to include it. Still, as someone on the fence, I'd really rather just hear about the software itself.

I'm a heavy Rubyist these days, and Moose is one of the very few things I miss from the realm of Perl. Here's a fun game: the next time someone asks you what technologies you work with or languages you prefer, somehow work in that
