   I dunno, we on the Enterprise side have always ponied up for the longer-lasting and far more expensive SLC based drives.

   I think that certainly hurt it. Also, when Oracle bought Sun, they started restricting Solaris use to Sun hardware only. Previously, we were happily using Solaris 10_x86 + ZFS on SuperMicro boxes. We still have north of 7PB of ZFS-based s

   Same here. Kick people out if they're violating your event's policy. This pouch thing is just weird and big brother-ish. Sorry people are downvoting you just because they disagree with your opinion!

   Sometimes a rant is warranted. Sometimes it's time to get fired up and angry... The issue occurs if you're not bulletproof on your position and then get too caught up on 'winning the argument' rather than solving the pr

   There have been walls along the US/Mexico border for decades, not to mention other international borders. To even implicitly imply that some causal relationship between border security (irrespective of how effective you think a wall is

    In addition, it's questionable that those labor laws do more to protect laborers or exist solely to preserve a government-backed monopoly... If someone doesn't want to drive for Uber, they can be a taxi driver instead...

    Of all things to spend tax dollars on, public baths seems pretty far down the priority list.

    The best thing that Uber has done (whatever its other flaws) is challenge the Taxi/Union/Government monopoly. More taxes and regulations are NOT good things.

    This. That and HTML5 autoplay is super annoying and there doesn't seem to be a bulletproof way to stop it (at least the various plugins I've tried).

    Dumb question - is the 4th article in the series only available via ;login;[1]? The other articles in the series have PDF links, but not the latest one. I'm assuming it will eventually... [1] https://www.usenix.org/pub

    They probably also use Outlook. That's what I do (4K employees). Used to use Mutt almost exclusively, but just became too hard and people complained about my emails turning everything to Courier. :) I still use Mutt to quickly prun

    Red Hat is pretty good about back-porting features like this into the kernel and rest of the platform. It would surprise me if the issues you describe aren't on the roadmap to address. We have no issues running RHEL7 under VMware.

    In the Enterprise world, we typically don't want latest and greatest. We want stability for a long time. :)

    Still thriving, to my knowledge. Scientific Linux is also out there as well. My recollection is that Red Hat was actually working directly w/ CentOS on some things to streamline their build processes. Red Hat doesn't see CentOS

    Or they're counting on other people thinking the same thing and running off w/ their money at just the right time before the ship sinks.
