Sun's business model was enterprise software (openDS, SunOne, java, Solaris) which was still pretty big, and hardware, which they were very good at. They also had a cloud, and I'm sure lots of other things. And I'm sure when

From my memory, the Debian developer did email upstream regarding it - and never got a reply...

SMF is a pita - far, far worse than the process management stuff in systemd. SMF does not seem to want to own every bit of my Linux machine, however.

You're getting downvoted because you've misunderstood the original comment. Antimagic seemed to be pointing out that claiming that Munira was still in employment because she was a member of a protected class was quite probably rac

Citation needed for the vatican being a stupidly well off organisation. Preferably in terms of its annual budget (rather than capital assets, which would be a silly way to pay for this). And even well off institutions have priorities. I sus

It's unlikely they'll "just let them rot away", but I'd imagine "document preservation" is far from the highest thing on Rome's list of financial priorities. So if you want something new and exciting

The rules in the bible are hebrew purity laws, which do not apply to gentiles (as decided in Acts). The verses most often used against homosexuality are not hebrew purity law - they're from St. Paul's letters.

She does have to understand what's involved in the curriculum though. And claiming that teachers can learn to program in a day shows that she doesn't have that.

More than you can shake a stick at. For graphing: Munin, Cacti, Graphite, and ganglia are the normal options. Graphite is the most powerful of these. It doesn't do any actual monitoring though. Munin is the simplest to implement. For g

European culture is likely to have been far more shaped by feudalism than American culture is. You don't have to individually remember something for it to have an important effect on your values and actions.

I'd imagine tracing routing, and then MAC address tables would be rather a lot faster, and more accurate.

Did you look at why Krugman got his nobel prize? Here's a clue. He's not a monetary economist. His opinions on monetary policy, are therefore of little influence on whether he should get the prize. He's a trade economist, and

>Talk to your students in private to see how class is going for them This shows that the author doesn't really know anything about modern teaching. Talking to students in private is probably a breach of the school's child prote

If you're going to do that, why not just pirate the books? For the same amount of effort, you'd probably manage it - and it'd be cheaper.

Aiui, they are. But, like a lawyer, doctor, or psychologist (a priest is not allowed break the seal of the confessional under any circumstances), there's a way of reporting these crimes. And shockingly, like a lawyer, doctor, or psyc

>They send a young man to prison for 35 years for uncovering possible war crimes If he was uncovering war crimes, did he first try to report them through his chain of command? If not, then I really don't think this is a defence.

Have you ever tried to work in a language other than your own? It's non-trivially harder. Also, Sony sell their SDK in several countries - why translate it into English, rather than say, Spanish (or insist they use English, rather than Span

It's a terrible counterpoint. If your stuff runs on linux, it's perfectly possible to install a second python and use that (if you need any of the features added recently. Which most of the time, you probably don't).

Devops may be what a good sysadmin does. I'm not sure that job is. Looks far more like they're looking for a developer to write sysadmin tools.
