Perhaps this class of attack works against ksh as well?

Apparently ksh was where bash originally got the idea about exportable functions from.

Respectable physicists are only "mad" because they never got invited to the right sort of parties.

More than 19 out of 20 people killed on the job in America are men - are we interested in squaring that up as well?

Sure, why not?

Decrease the men's fatality rate down the women's rate. That would be a good thing right?

Or are you comfortable that so many men get killed at work? Is it just the price we pay for profits or something?

Getting bullied by Canonical makes loads of sense, but I don't like it one bit.

You need to look into it deeper. It didn't happen that way at all.

Canonical wanted Debian to pick upstart (naturally as it was their software). Once Debian chose systemd though and with RHEL already switching away from upstart to systemd, Canonical felt that being left as the only distro still using upstart wasn't tenable any more. Staying aligned with Debian was more important than getting what they wanted.

No, but I have never seen a suicide bomber that was anything other than Muslim.

Kamikazes? Tamil Tigers? I'm sure there are plenty of other examples.

Yuck - two way databinging sounds like there's a purging phase involved!

I would have thought a 16 core config would be an efficient number.

You may have noticed these are server chips. Intel is now doing the equivalent of ECC with its CPUs - every 9th core is a parity core. There are effectively only 16 cores.

What if we had 1 week warning of the dinosaur-killer?

Well personally, assuming that there was no safe place to send them, I'd take the week off work and spend it with my dinosaurs just to let them know how much I appreciated my time with them.

I'd probably need a little more time off work after that too. Thankfully my boss is pretty generous with bereavement leave.

Apache Struts, Tomcat, and elasticsearch (mentioned in the summary) are all written in java.
To me, that indicates a JAVA vulnerability, not a Linux vulnerability.

Or more likely a bug in an Apache Commons library they all use.

eg Struts is from Apache, Tomcat is from Apache, Elasticsearch is based on Lucene which is also from Apache.

Ukraine disarmed. First nation to do so in the history of nuclear weapons.

I thought that was South Africa?

Is there a Marxist equivalent of Godwins Law?

I'm a little scared to think of what "Spreadsheet" means in that context.

Agreed. On my laptop with an SSD, the non systemd OS boots faster than it takes to get through the BIOS stuff.

And as for servers, they can take fucking ages to get through all their BIOS/BMC/RAID controller etc bullshit. Shaving a few seconds off the OS boot time is irrelevant as it's by far the quickest part - especially if the actual services themselves take ages to start (bloody Java).

It bugs me that we're using words like "hip" and "cool" to describe programming languages. That anyone would choose to learn (or use) a language on the basis of it being "hip" is dumb. I'm looking at you, Ruby.

Heh, I think that crowd has mostly moved on to Go (via Node for some of the earlier ones).

Did I miss the part where the human race had a miraculous breakthrough in fusion technology?

Maybe not miraculous breakthroughs, but we've been getting better at directly utilising our only currently usable fusion reactor.

Then again it is ultimately responsible for nearly all our other energy sources too.
