And for the Olympics, the ancient games meant to bring people together, I for one couldn't watch 5 minutes of any of it as I am a chord cutter and couldn't stream jack, legally that is. No one should have a monopoly on the Olympic

This is not uncommon for those like the above poster that think the constitution is a "living document".

"Now that millions more of Americans have good coverage..." This link is full of horse poop. Good coverage? Have you seen what the new ACA plans cover and don't cover?? And the cost?? Good is not a word I would use to describ

Actually they do here as well in the states. My wife and I just had to deal with the rapid loss of our dog to skin cancer. Her treatments were cheaper than paying a doctor here in cash. Normally I pay a doc $150 or less for a routine walk i

Yeah I'm not buying this and never have. You're going to need to cite some kind of scientific statistics or stats or studies. When people get sick they come to the US for treatment if they can. You don't see world leaders and

Of all the things to convert it to... It could have been a homeless village. But no we would rather expand space to continue to be the worlds largest incarcerator of non violent offenders. Disgusting!

I'm not sure in what way they would be light years ahead. But I will say the it's probably much easier to hack on the bsd kernels than Linux. Taking FreeBSD as an example, if for no other reason than the absurdly great documentati

And have you tried it? Because when I tried it it did not work as documented.

People will do whatever they want to do. And my comment is not a knock on HAST. But myself, and I know I am not alone, firmly believe especially regarding HA and ZFS that following anything other than the KISS principle is pain upon pain up

Yeah I'll have to disagree here. I beat my head against this horribly documented MTA just trying to get virtual users to work with a relay host. I gave up after three days of slitting my wrists trying to get it to work. It's horri

No one ever got fired for buying IBM! Too soon?

a) This is not true. There are mature, stable and unlike linux attempts, actually secure "containers". See Jails and Zones. b) See a. c) This is a docker issue, other platforms do not suffer these UX flaws. d) See a. e) See ZFS on

This is such an absurd fallacy that FSF nuts have been using since at least the early 90s. The GPL does not ensure jack squat . It ensures source code availability as much as the BSDL does. Consider the following function: defmodule Jail d

In whole or in part? Because FreeBSD partially supports it and one of the authors of the RFC, Randal Stewart, is a FreeBSD source committer.

They mention the hardware used, shame there is no mention of the software used. Or any home brew software open sourced. :/

These are great reads for how it was implemented. As for how late see above. https://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/attachments/195_locking... https://books.google.com/books?id=aY1pBAAAQBAJ&

Waiting to implement a feature while you actually engineer it well and robustly is not the same as throwing poop at a wall and seeing what sticks then scraping the poop off and forming it into another shape and throwing at the wall again.

I'm not sure it indicates anything. They are all incredibly vague and no one seems to have any idea what's going on.
531.
by X86BSD 10y ago
Perhaps it does. But the point was that the Linux world never seems to get things right. They implement horrendous solutions that are not engineered or even well thought out and wind up reimplementing said solution over and over and over ag

You mean is it possible to port and run hammer on Linux? Anything is possible but the work required would be a big challenge.

by X86BSD 10y ago
This is Linux's legacy. Rejecting already solved problems only to try reinvent the wheel their way and often their wheel is broken and horribly engineered if engineered at all. See btrfs v zfs, kqueue vs their current poll of the month

Thanks for pointing out it can be run locally. That's a win IMO.

by X86BSD 10y ago
Thanks! I saw that after more digging. It still should be under features IMO. And they say in "Level 2" security data is encrypted at rest. Who holds the keys? They should make that clear. It should only be trusted if the end user

by X86BSD 10y ago
Thanks for sharing that link! No mention of encryption or security on the features page is what personally turns me away. You don't even mention security :( This is what frightens me in 2016. Apps are being developed where security is

by X86BSD 10y ago
Yeah I didn't get his comment either. I read their security document. They use SSL to encrypt traffic in transit. That is all. It's not encrypted at rest or in any other fashion. Big deal almost everything is SSL these days during

Seconded! The Arabia museum is incredibly fascinating and interesting to anyone remotely interested in learning, or history. It's an incredibly rare and accurate view into the world at that time. Really fascinating. The wife and I have
