It's not rebooting which makes sure everything is ok.

It's TESTING. And just "It's up" isn't sufficient for production systems. You need full on acceptance test suites to validate their operation properly. So, if you're not doing that AFTER post-update rebooting, you're doing it wrong. ( of course, if you have staged systems for development and testing, then they would have been tested after the update FIRST, of course, so in theory ( and often in practice ) the validation of production systems is assumed via the existing testing/acceptance process.

They are, (1) Trayvon Martin is dead and (2) George Zimmerman killed him.

I don't give a shit about anything else. Zimmerman can tell his story to a Judge, and if the Judge buys his motion to dismiss, then so be it.

In reaction to the authors already doing away with the "limited time" and "public domain" aspects of the deal. THEY pushed the "social contract" out of balance, and this is just "The Market's" reaction to it.

What do you say we go back to 28 years + 28 years and call it a night? Oh. Disney won't let you roll back copyright laws to pre-1976 lengths? Why do they have a voice in the discussion if they don't have a vote at the ballot box again?

By 'addiction' are we talking like alcohol, where if you try to break your addiction, you can DIE FROM THE WITHDRAWAL or 'addiction' like caffeine, where you get cranky and irritable?

Because, if we're talking 'addicted like caffeine', then the question is still valid, why is Marijuana, a less dangerous drug than either tobacco or alcohol not regulated like tobacco and alcohol?

When your production instances running on Centos get rooted because of an unpatched vulnerability, and your company gets the same reputation for security as Sony, your entire board of directors will understand why you need support -- even if the CIO doesn't get it..

"Red Hat had this patched on 01-October, why were we still vulnerable?" is the kind of question a CIO hears right before he's fired...
