Didn't LiveJournal have this years ago?

How's that Hope & Change working out for y'all?

It has taken Google ten years, a huge study, and suffering under what is their #1 cause of employee turnover, to learn something that is in nearly every good book on management? Most other companies can't do it because they are too stupid to be wise. Google can't do it because they think they are too smart...

If your ISP claims to have IPv6, and isn't advertising their DNS servers over the DNS IPv6 anycast address, they are stupid. If they claim they can't, they are lying. If they claim it's someone else's fault, they are evil.

Why are you believing them?

I was learning Eiffel and had been coding in Ada for a couple of years when Java showed up. I was surprised then that Sun's language designers had given us a language that was already 15 years behind the state of the practice, let alone 30 years behind the state of the art.

These are all "Cloud Providers", not "Cloud Platforms". Cloud Platforms would include Eucalyptus, VSphere, and OpenStack.

The "rules" that the judge explains to the jury are not the actual rules. Ferex, the rules about nullification, a judge will lie out of his black robed ass about.

And the metarule for dealing with judges are the same as the metarule for dealing with cops. Specifically: listen a lot, believe little, say nothing

MySQL already has left the building. Look to Drizzle, and the other MySQL forks (Monty Project, ferex), and the non-Oracle support companies (Blue Gecko, Palamino, Pythian, OpenQuery, SkySQL).

This is a demonstration of incompetence in the company. I have, in the past, been the person who's job it was to secure a system after the firing of a guy who had "the keys to the kingdom". He was called in to the termination interview, and by the time he came back out, his windows and unix accounts was frozen and archived, his remote access credentials were revoked, his email was redirected, and his keycard was invalidated.

Free Speech was never a foundational principle for Canada. It's "Peace, Order, and Good Government".

Between things like firesheep and things like this, it has reached the point where it is irresponsible to NOT be running private VPN and/or a HTTP ssh tunnel out of your device.

Seventeen year old rapists and gangbangers are not "children".

We don't execute too many of them. We execute too *few*.

I have already discombubulated the TSA agents with my utilikilt. Maybe I will start wearing it more often, "regimental" style, and while wearing a gay pride t-shirt and a big grin.

If they are going to be thugs, I'm going to make it funny.

I have to wonder if they are also banning microwave ovens. The ISM frequency range used by WiFi is unlicensed because it is the same frequency used by microwave ovens, and so is full of junk and interference.

The whole *point* of "collective bargaining" in "labor relations" (read "unions"), is that they exclude other groups. The last thing any union wants is a competing labor source. They will use any means, up to and happily including violence, to get competing labor suppliers (which they call "scab") to either get with the program, or get out.
