One of the unfortunate truths of current human society is that economic incentives are far more powerful than polite requests for group cooperation.

It happens to be a slow and blocking action on MySQL, yes. That's yet another problem with MySQL. You can only make a new table and swap it in if you can stop writing to your old table, or don't care if records go missing. I&#x

My standing policy for phones is that I expect people to manage their own availability, and respect that I do the same. If I don't want to answer a call, I don't answer it the first time they call; if it's really an emergency

Would you mind explaining what domain controls offer? I've never worked with a large windows desktop install base, so I have no idea what domain controls do exactly.

Hmm. Fair enough. That's a very reasonable interpretation. You're right, I was being rather generous in my interpretation, and I don't actually know his intent.

Fantastic; I'm glad to hear it. I've been using nouveau for the past couple of years because of this issue; sounds like it's time to try nvidia's drivers again.

If this was on nvidia back before nouveau, I can believe it. nvidia's drivers have never supported xrandr, so you need to do everything through their proprietary tools. My thinkpad hotplugs displays with no trouble at all these days,

I'm sorry, but did you even read the article? The exploit is explicitly stated, it's trusting unauthenticated client state. That's a fundamental design flaw in the intended behaviour, not an accidental coding error. They g

Yes, that's certainly relevant as well, although I disagree with some of the implications of "logically impossible" due to the third party postgresql replication products, although I don't have personal experience with them.

"Getting better" isn't entirely relevant to this specific case, as the relevant bug was introduced in 5.5.6. Personally, I've had quite a few horrible experiences with mysql replication interacting poorly with various mysql features, and I
