Comment My thoughts on this. (Score 1) 186

I posted this on G+, but figured I would post it here too.

---------------

As a user of RHEL and CentOS, I use each for specific purposes. Several of the purposes I use CentOS for, Redhat wants me to use RHEL for. Now they could easily make CentOS less of an acceptable option almost forcing me to use RHEL since I use RH as my standard infrastructure distribution.

CentOS has always taken revenue away from RH where a full blown license of RH wasn't necessary and RH knows this. I have no doubts this move is to strengthen RH position and profitability. From what I read in the FAQ about this joining, Redhat requires that Redhat Employees have a controlling share of the CentOS board.

In the end, we will just have to see exactly how Redhat intends to steer CentOS.

I commute to and from New York City on a train every day. I've seen fights almost break out from rude people yapping on phones. Allowing phone calls on planes is a very bad idea. Nobody wants to listen to other people yap on a phone during a three hour flight.

People get agitated enough being cramped into small seats with no leg room. Lets just add to the agitation my making the person next to you annoy the hell out of you by yapping on the phone to their friend.

Comment I've always been in the opinion (Score 3, Interesting) 192

I've always been in the opinion that anyone who serves as a figure of authority (this includes government officials) and uses that authority to commit a crime should receive a minimum of double the maximum sentence of that crime in the same manner than you get double the fine for speeding in a work zone.

If they commit a crime that is punishable by 5-7 years in prison using their given authority, then they should get a minimum of 14 years in prison period. No less.

Of course, to get this double sentence, they have to be using their authority to commit the crime. They should also be removed from service and ban from ever working for the public in any form again. (which includes a private sector job that is doing government contract work)

Abuse of power should have absolute ZERO tolerance.

In this case, I believe putting someone in solitary confinement without a valid reason is abuse of power. Whoever made this decision should be removed from power and should have to serve twice as many days in solitary confinement as Gottfrid has.

Phopojijo writes "Consoles have not really been able to profitably scale over the last decade or so. Capital is sacrificed to gain control over their marketshare and, even with the excessive lifespan of this recent generation, cannot generate enough revenue with that control to be worth it. Have we surpassed the point where closed platforms can be profitable and will we need to settle on an industry body, such as W3C or Khronos, to fix a standard for companies to manage slices of and compete within?"
