It astounds me that ios is just now getting features like that.

Every time I use my girlfriend's not-updated iPhone 5 I feel like I'm on gingerbread.

Yes. This.

They've also already lost value (about 10% from when they opened). How is that a good deal?

It's just China trying to sucker punch the economy in the US and leech off more funds.

How indeed, does the SEC allow this. :(

This is what they say, but what they really want is H1B and similar workers.

The value of a degree has never been less in this country.

Yes, they want (and NEED) people with critical thinking skills and a firm grasp on the fundamentals of science as per their field, but what they're saying they need with their money is something not even close to that mark in any regard... at least in IT/systems/storage/development.

Rsync causes a lot of metadata lookups, which will fill arc metadata in a hurry. If arc max isnt set, you'll oom the box (or crash zol if it is, i think). I'm not sure how to monitor or control it on zol, because zol's memory management is still kernel independent....

Slashdot has been epically, if possibly inadvertently, trolled.

Google hardware for linux and you will find the Ubuntu hsl in moments. Bam, done.

Or, just pick any random board and install. You've got to be looking for incompatibility, outside a small minority of parts.

Won't impact anyone.

10 years? We'll all have long past starved to death. Yellowstone blowing big is a mass extinction event, period, for many species. It's probably safe to say that most large carnivores, globally, wouldn't survive.

Or, chances are (if you're the ONLY sysadmin on staff), other people could stand not working for a while at 8pm once every other week while you do your maintenance at a saner hour. If you're not big enough to have multiple sysadmins and/or multiple tiers of redundancy, chances are you aren't big enough to justify 365/24 uptime. Someone else can not work so you can get work done, to enable them to keep working.

They probably work too much, anyway. No need for that to make you work too much, too.

This is incredible, really: motorcycles are much easier to balance at higher speeds. They made the most difficult part of riding a bike trivial.

I'm curious how much mass they had to add to the bike to make it self-balance like that, and how well it balance with a 200lb rider (driver? I guess it'd be driver, since it's got a cage). And on corners, as well - presumably the gyros/inclinometer or whatever feeds the steering data.

I want one of these without the cage and a gas motor, personally. 50mpg+ for a road trip would not be bad: 200 miles on a run is not good. 200 miles is almost tethered.

Or for in-house networks.

Pretty trivial to just pull the cable when your kit has been compromised and you're facing extortion.

Really?

How many families do you know that congregate in the living room? Families are the minority now.
