It's nice to be appreciated :-)

And let me say that the reason we're opposed to libertarians is because they fall into two camps, ineffective idealists and phoneies out to make a quick buck. There's just no way a weak, decentralized govt can stand up against a modern corporation. Socialists are pro big govt because what's the worst that could happen? It just doesn't matter to us if the jackboot in our v necks is public or private, so we'll take our chances with the govt and try to hang onto it..

Are you running mathlab or huge spreadsheets for data analytics? If you are then why not just run 128gb and be done with it, if you're not then you're probably not using as much RAM as you think :)

It had some REALLY ugly failure modes.

In a production server, I can see value in stepwise evacuating old drives and then swapping them for new larger drives only once the data is stable on the filesystem. Done right you could pull it off with zero downtime without opening a window where a single failure brings you down.

I'm using ZFS in production for now but I'm actively testing btrfs for that reason among others.

You're thinking of the ZFS that goes through FUSE. There is also ZFS on Linux that runs as kernel modules like any other fs.

There's also btrfs.

Of course, neither of those needs the md driver at all, they have their own raid like systems.

that folks would STFU about the constitution. It was not written for you. It was written for wealthy landowners. That's why we have a Senate (of which Mr Rand is part). It's to balance out all that popularism and keep the poors from voting themselves land and food. Don't believe me? Google it, and then go read "A People's History of the United States". Pretty much everything you were taught in grade school was bull shit.

And your sig annoys me. Denmark, Germany, France. All of them seem to be getting along just fine without a police state. Meanwhile illustrious libertarians Like Rand Paul can't even pull off an effective (or real) filibuster to stop a law they're ideology says they should be violently opposed to. Christ, the things that get modded up on /. these days...

Since the contact details are her work details posted to a public website and in regard to a work matter, it's not a problem. Private contact details would be over the line.

Right - but you know who didn't show up? Bernie Sanders (S-VT). He claims to be a civil libertarian but couldn't bother to join the other Democrats who came to support the issue.

I think we know where his masters are on this issue - he's deep into the F-35 fighter jet fiasco; MIC is where his bread is buttered.

Perhaps now they can bring back background play for mobile devices, so I don't have to stay on the youtube app to listen to music/podcasts/etc posted there.

This was the #1 most-requested feature on the YouTube app since it first appeared. Google *finally* released it - and it's the most expensive in-app purchase ever - you have to pay $120/yr to get it.

At the same time they changed the YouTube ToS to forbid third-party apps from providing the same functionality and aggressively started pursuing legal claims against the developers.

"Don't be Evil", 2015 skin.

Um... Isn't that sorta what a filibuster does? He's a senator, not house of reps. He's got orders of magnitude more power. He wasn't trying very hard, that much is obvious. Make of that what you will

Read the article on arstechnica. He stopped 11 minutes short of midnight. If he'd actually had the balls to filibuster the bill it wouldn't have passed in the first place.

Then learn to affect a cheesy eastern European accent and tell the interviewer you are after Moose and Perl.

But certainly not on a regular road ridden by something other than 5 elephants.
