I knew a company that did just that... Outsourced company milked that company for money for a few years, while making short term decisions (often bad ones). Then, one day things started to break constantly and consultant was hired to locate source of the problems. Later, that IT was brought back "in house" to avoid making messes like that in the future. People that work under same roof as your company, tend to care a little more about your operations. This is just one example out of many, where short term thinking of cutting IT spending ended up costing company a lot more in a long run.

Need to do a bit more reading, my friend. The account doesn't have anything to do with women performing manual labor:

"(The Babylonians) said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

5But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

8So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9That is why it was called Babelc—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth."

So, it had nothing to do with labor practices. Many scholars think the tower was some sort of astrological artifact, and that the scrambling of the languages had to do with dispersing the population of the earth. That is, according to the scripture.

Is that anything like the people who can't distinguish between supporters of market economics and Christians? Or those too caught up in their own high dudgeon to realize that it's possible to have principled reasons for disliking both illegal immigration and racists? Do you also consider "small minded" those who scream that anyone opposed to Obama's policies on one matter or another are racists? Or are people who fail to note your choices of appropriate labels for two kinds of Nanny State collectivism "small minded," but people who knowingly spout nonsense about the racism behind differences of opinoin on tax policy are ...what, politically articulate geniuses?

I'd shake my head and wish you knew better, but of course you do know better, and you're just being a typical hypocrite, awash in your own faux condescension. You're not as clever as you think you are, and far more transparent.

Starship Troopers?

I clicked through to that.

You can take your "naturopath" website and interstitial "can't even close it without an email address" ad and shove it squarely up your ass.

Furthermore,

Fuck you, you nutjob anti-vaxxer.

I think I looked into it in '89, as a potentially free alternative to SCO Xenix, which my company was running at the time. They'd bought the base OS, but didn't feel like shelling out an extra $1200 for the C compiler. I don't recall finding a whole lot of information on BSD, though I do seem to remember something along the lines that they'd send you some tapes with the system on it. It sounded like it'd take a whole lot more investment of my time than I or my company was willing to commit to even try to get it running.

A few years later I heard somewhere (May have been Wired) about this spiffy new Linux operating system. By then I had a (more or less) stable internet connection and the instructions were quite easy; download 20-some-odd slakware diskettes from Sunsite and you were in business. Nothing was mentioned about BSD. So I downloaded 20-some-odd diskettes from Sunsite and I was in business.

At least in my case, Linux won out over BSD largely due to marketing and the easy distribution method. No one every really talked about BSD, and Linux worked brilliantly for me, so I used Linux.

Yes their is more to life than science. He is going to need friends and social skills. Frankly the idea of pushing him as far and as fast as possible strikes me as being selfish. It is using him for the good "Society, world, whatever" more than for his own welfare.
Find him enough work to keep him challenged. Maybe more classes on litter, art, music, and history to round him out. Maybe dancing lessons, sports of some kind. Their maybe some long term benefit to getting your PHD at 24-26 over 17. Instead of on prodigy you may have generations of brilliant people that way.

I would say that fixing the range header denial of service attack twice is nothing to be ashamed of. Firstly, you get a tested fix out quickly that protects sites that are likely to be under attack [targets]. These early adopters get the fix which stops the attack which is known in the wild. Two weeks later, you get the belt-and-braces fix which fixes the issue even for new variants of the known attack.

So in other words, yes, you have to release the user name and password, since it's part of the source and compiled into the binary, and the AGPLv3 requires that it all be released.

The GNUstapo strikes again. Last week it was FUD to try to get people to encourage Linux to move to the AGPLv3, which would kill Android on mobile devices, and now this. No thanks. Keep chipping away at the various freedoms - you just end up making the *BSDs look better and better.

The basic idea behind the patent system is sound. There's no economic incentive for individuals and small to medium-sized businesses to invent things when a big company can just take the idea and easily outcompete due to greater resources. And without the patent system, there's no incentive to release inventions into the public domain rather than try to protect them as trade secrets.

This applies just as much to software as to physical objects. Suppose I came up with a method to dramatically increase a car's gas mileage. What's the difference if the method is a change in the physical structure of the engine or an improved algorithm in the car's software? The same logic applies: if my method is not protectable by patent law, I lack economic incentive to put the necessary time and effort into developing the invention.

I understand (and agree with) arguments that the patent time should be less for software, that the thresholds for patentability and enforcement are far too low, and that the whole system in general is being abused and needs major changes.

But I have yet to see a rational argument for why physical inventions but not virtual inventions should be patentable.

yes, and if we say we live in a democracy, we get the pikers who have to insist it's a constitutional republic

and if we say something was hacked, we get the pikers who no, the system was cracked, or socially engineered

yes, pikers, we KNOW THAT ALREADY

hey pikers: the general meaning of a word often strays from narrow definitions. don't think you are in a position to correct that. understand you are in a position to learn, for once in your life, what common usage means

Do have it set up to receive mail from Postfix, and then pass it on to Dovecot for distribution?

Or does ClamAV get a crack at mail first before Postfix?

Is there a way to scan an email as you're receiving it, and then stop in the middle of the process, making it look like you have a bad SMTP server, which hopefully spammers won't bother with again?

Oh, and, are you running Amavis, and SpamAssasin, too?

Wait...

Labradoodle's are fake? I bet all the Labradoodle owners would be shocked to learn their dogs are not real.

Maybe the author should research before he declares what's real and what isn't. I mean, his bad science isn't actually helping here.
