Verbatim FTW.

It gets you *almost* back to the pre-Google+ days, when they took away the "+" sign as a search modifier.

Ah, seems google has only one +
They took it away from search to be able to use it for Google+
As Google+ is not really that success, mybe bring the + back to the search. That would be neat.
Or buy a second +, please!

Comment Never update all your production systems in one go (Score 1) 253

Yea, standard rule.
Maybe the plane was in test? So not production. So no need to follow that rule?
Well ok, a test plane is still running in production as far as avionics goes, even if it's still in testing!
And if you have 4 systems in your test environment, there's a reason. You *don't* update all of them, or 3/4 of them. But half!
And I guess, with 2 engines, the plane could have been saved.
I'm a sysadmin, and I blame the sysadmin as the cause of the catastrophe.

Comment Replace everything by the same thing, sure ... (Score 2) 189

Replacing all windows7 installs by new windows7 installs will for sure remove the possibility of the same malware hitting again. DOH!
Maybe change platform.
There are 2 other OS to consider, MacOS and Linux.

An important organization should always have 2 completely different platforms.
Not only 2 different browsers on the same OS, but different OS. And by different I don't mean a Microsoft-different who state the XP is not NT and is not Win7. It's all windows!
Same goes for Linux, where redhat or debian is not different, it stays Linux. Sunos may be different.

Comment big heap of crash (Score 1) 155

This dreadfull bastard of slowness and bugs has been dumped by me after I encountered about 1 crash, freeze or reboot per week. (on frssh LMDE install beginning 2015)
It is completely utter sillyness to expect endusers to use a kiddy fiddely software piece of junk.
Switched to Mate (i.e. gnome2) and it was 10 times faster, and has not crashed since 2 months.

Comment switch off personalized search (Score 1) 276

Today's search engine like to optimize results for you. So you get the results based on past searches and clicks.
This puts you into your own personal bubble. You only find stuff you already know because you only get links relevant to your personal knowledge field. But what you actually search is a different view on the world, not your own view.
To escape that, you would need to remove all cookies and even change to a completly different PC or ISP or country.
This should be a user user accessible feature. Sort of "amnesia search".

Comment luxembourg: 3 languages and more (Score 5, Interesting) 274

In Luxembourg, from the first years in school on, we learn french and german.
And additionally learn the local Luxembourgish.
Later, english is added.

So everybody is trilingual, but often from parents there are 1 or 2 other languages added.
And learning 5 languages as a kid is in fact no problem at all.

Comment This is how you solve "Bug 1" (Score 1) 765

Yeah, bug 1 was resolved recently. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubu...
But as I see it, using systemd makes linux as useless and undebuggable than windows.
So there is no point to use linux, nothing different, sam black box as windows. Result: microsoft has won. Thanks Poettering.

Solving Bug 1 by making linux the same as Windows. Yeah! Sure, that's how you do it!
