Red Hat is IBM, and I don't see anything but the "corporate" Linux.

I think they all originated in business as jargon, but the American media drug them out to prime time. Probably the only true jargon left are industries / verticals that have their own business language that isn't seen in sitcoms

Well, "CAK" for contract and "CAKAPP" for the whole applying stuff to a contract are two I remember. It was hella confusing for the later one for multiple weeks. Plus, I got an email that I literally felt like I was us

The funnest part is the corporate jargon resulting from history or just the vertical they are in. I worked at one company that had used teletypes to location that had a charge per character. This lead to an official abbreviation sheet. T

The founding members are GitHub, Google, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, NCC Group, OWASP Foundation and Red Hat, among others. So, Microsoft x 2, Google, IBM x 2, a for-profit Security company, and non-profit security group, and a bank.

If you are not a publicity machine then you are doing a disservice to the people you serve because you have no hope of spending the money as effectively. I work in non-profits and the worst thing is having no attention paid to you. You ca

Not that I have the ability to do that, but where are these Domain Engineering manuals?

I am talking about the effectiveness of a charity and what it needs to maximize its effect. I did not say anything about or point out anything about their demise as an elite. That is just an uncharitable reading of my words. Thinking &quo

To be honest, charities need to be publicity machines to do an effective job. They need constant buzz to receive money but also spend effectively. Publicity attracts people who want to hang on (e.g. politicians, leaders) which allows the

This is one of the old OSes that I wish had been open sourced. I would really like to see the Pascal source code, and it would be neat to see something that wasn't a UNIX.

Making more than 5,000 was probably good indicator of its value.

Yeah. The F-4 was fine for the Navy and Air Force, but the VTOL was a step too far.

This discussion reminds me why we keep getting students kicked off Facebook for having "fake names". Yeah, 3 people are fluent and they are trying their best to spread it again and this is a step. I love people paying lip servic

In the modern era, it probably is just gathering precise positioning for a missile launch. I expect some computer wiping will be in the cards too. That might be the modern version of rigging the buildings already. Given what a strategic a

Where did freedesktop.org get the magic bytes? I assume (probably stupidly) that some of that has to be in a file command on some BSD.

So, this gem uses the mime database provided by freedesktop.org when the gem could have got the database from http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtm... which wouldn't be GPL? What manip

What about a company like Amazon copying your codebase, throwing millions at it and then leaving you in the dust? Well, they can do that with the GPL thus spawned the AGPL which didn't fix the problem either thus MongoDB and companie

Talking about malware has no point in this unless we are talking about something shipped with docker. It is most definitely a bug (or defect) when the software cannot run.
