Psst: Anandtech.com is ---> that way.

Did anybody else but me think about "RedHat 4.2" when you first saw this title? Another oddity: there were exactly 42 comments..

Was this just "click-mongering"? Glad I have ads disabled...

Teh editors do not, in fact, suck. They merely assumed that you--a wiz-kid, tech-mag reader--would be smart enough to perform a simple evaluation before jumping into a topic. 1) Check title for prefixes. This one says "book review". 2) Do I know what Solr (or ) is? If yes, read article. Maybe post a comment. If no, see step 3 if still interested. 3) Google/wiki the technology until you are ready answer "yes" to step 2.

Where was his harness and shock-cord? I have seen contractors get BIG whammies for letting workers "strap out", and this at only 35ft. This guy should have fallen about eight feet and suffered a cracked rib or two from the shock-cord snapping him a bit, but a fall to the death? At a NASA facility? That would require CCCPish levels of idiocy.

Who says ReiserFS is dead? I've never stopped using it from the minute it was merged into Linux. I have some large, 4+ year old ReiserFS SAN volumes that are loaded with files, healthy, fast, and have never left production. I use it exclusively on my desktops despite Gentoo's warnings about "little maintenance" going on. Who cares? If it works, it works. I'm sure there are plenty of others who feel the same.

It's been years since I've seen a site truly slashdotted.

I think I'm just hooked on ASCII art. ;-)

I stand by Vi. I still use E16 on all my desktops. I still use WM Dockapps. Hell, I still use BitchX, even. This will probably never change for me, as long as these tools still compile and run! I really miss hearing Linus' "pronunciation of Linux" sound-byte when setting up sound cards. However, I do NOT miss making boot floppies. I don't miss Linuxconf either, as it (in my eyes) started the trend towards huge, nasty config files. As for the "dumbing down" of Linux, I went the other way and started using things distros like Gentoo that keep the "old school" Linux feel..

Slashdot is REALLY going downhill... I remember when posting a link on /. meant that the server it lived on was dead in 15 minutes. Now I have to see "101" posts get modded up? Sheez...

...there's nothing there!

Which means this book review for Moodle 1.9 stuff is REALLY worthless.

Ahem... USA. Punk.

...Courts look for Botnets to take down Microsoft.

About your sig: there is no such thing as I50.
