Turbo buttons are for desktops.
Looks like that nasty frequency wall is hitting us a little sooner than we planned. The marketing folks have taken to advertising turbo speeds on their processors and the average guy doesn't realize that half your cores are shutting down and your non ecc memory is getting amnesia. It seems like a lot of trouble to make the 8 cuda cores in my 8300 GS execute NOP faster than is necessary. But then again, parallel programming is hard and AMD needs a break.
Sounds like a job for Systemd.

Fail safe designs [should not] depend on things not failing. Unfortunately, that is very expensive. Instead we make laws and rules to follow when our "absolutely will fail" designs do.

"Fuck if I know, I just use really old versions of things like SSL and bash, 'cause you never know when some prima donna is gonna come along and screw up everything he thinks he knows"
If he doesn't get the joke, then I just focus on the fact that if he doesn't find 3 guys by Friday, there is going to be hell to pay.

Once it was decided to break the versioning scheme with 3.0 it became less relevant. 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 all had a lot of distinguishable features. The fact that the focus has shifted to marketing version numbers instead of content sums it up. It looks like the Linux kernel has reached the "good enough" stage, so this is to be expected.
What was unexpected was to allow the whole distribution thing to get out of control and allow shit like heartbleed and systemd to ever see the light of day. FreeBSD should catch up enough to be usable over the next couple of years and system admins can go back to work installing OS's on machines to achieve a specific purpose. Until then, we'll just have to work around whatever the evangelists think we need. In which case, Windows 10 becomes relevant again - not because it is better, but because it is more mature and has learned that screwing with things like the start button is even worse than binary logs.

FreeBSD is best. Now honestly, I've been using pretty much any O/S within arms reach since CP/M. I'm all right with religious wars too, provided both sides agree not to inflict collateral damage on uncaring innocents. One thing I avoid is websites who ask for my credit card information while insisting this information will not be used. Also I avoid watching Lester Holt as a surrogate for Brian Williams. If I want to get bullshitted by NBC, I want the best. Personally, I think this is a bridge too far dreamed up by the republicans so they can hold Hillary to a higher standard for her sniper fire fantasy. In any case, anything that shifts the discussion away from "distraction tactics" like global warming, homosexuality, or abortion is a good thing. Because in this country, we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights. Because, you see, if you are hell bent on getting rid of unaleinable rights, you must get rid of the creator.

Slashdot deals is at least as valuable to me as Amazon and e-bay. In fact it has a few added benefits of only display things of relative geekiness that might interest me, rather than Amazon who tend to display every related item i might have ever clicked on in the last 5 years. Also Slashdot deals will show you prices that guarantee you can buy the same item somewhere else for 20% less.
Neither do i disable advertising. Flooding the internet with my inane preference tracking cookies to be stored and backed up on hundreds of servers is the surest way to overwhelm the probabilistic failure rate of raid 6 and force manufactures back to offering 5 year warranties standard. - C'mon people, help keep Slashdot free - Clickit!

There are some things even an irrevocable bad karma cannot endure. Perhaps Leonard can invoke some Systemd magic?

I suppose that once you allow scientists to stand trial for their inability to predict earthquakes, the slippery slope logic kicks in. It seems witches have legal status as do witch hunts.
Since this occurred in Canaduh, can we conclude that no animals were harmed in the fictional display of logic?

The real breakthrough in the design was removing the requirement to hit the ANY key to continue.
Also took a while for the lawyers to agree about the "Are you sure?"

If the intent is to avoid false readings wouldn't it make sense *NOT* to put this thing next to a nuclear reactor?

It's just you.

Well, it got me for sure. I even thought of a few outrageous arguments to fuel the flames. But I gotta go eat dinner and this whole thing really on the lame side. So maybe I'll move on to something else.

True, but Evangelicals, like Roman Catholics do believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God, was sacrificed, and rose from the dead.
So, using obscure, unknowable minor points to discredit the major tenets of faith becomes rather comical to watch over and over again. So, I say a "religious worldview" is kind of self defeating to begin with. Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks, but it's better than drowning in an ocean of statistical data.

Learning to accept the things you will not change because of laziness and stupidity is an important lesson that the previous generation has passed on. Leadership by example at its finest.

Unfortunately their teachers never have any experience other than spending their entire lives in liberal school, so don't expect the grinder to produce anything but chop meat.
Seriously, programmers need to learn math.
