A tall person is over 6 foot. that has a nice ring to it. 1.8 metres is not human friendly. A foot is about the size of an adult foot, it makes sense.
1.8 Metres is just as user friendly as foot when you're brought up in it.
Also, our language, literature and petry is full of imperial words. We would lose a vital link with the past if we abandoned their use.
And when was the last time you read ancient English scrolls ?
By that logic we would still be writing glyphs and doing arithmetic without the 0.
Not to mention RedHat is not any kind of savings vs. Microsoft..
Have you included hardware costs in your equation ?
Windows Server does need beefier hardware more than not to provide the same level of service
maybe that has changed with Windows Core. But I haven't used it yet, and using
it instead of the GUI costs in ease of administration that Windows seem to offer in favor of linux.
I do find it entirely plausible, however, the idiots have short attention spans, and flit from distraction to distraction constantly.
Everybody has a relative short attention spans these days, we're just bombarded with information day in day out.
Why go the opposite direction, even if for some reason you really do have the need for those particular properties?
Control, and for some me included maintaining home storage is a hobby.
Some are also skeptical about putting some or all of their eggs in the hands of a corporate service provider.
Hence my question "What do you use it for", which you didn't really answer.
Making backups of central storage.
In the case of France, I would tend to disagree with you. They kidnap company executives, and generally make the place appear toxic for business. The French rail workers' unions have a simple rule when to strike: Whenever I am in France. Normal Slashdot Dogma states that correlation does not equal causation, but in the case of French rail workers . . . I just need to get near the French border, and a strike will break out.
Hehehe, true. Same here in Belgium. There needs to be a balance on both sides.
And these national rail unions as it is have too much leverage. Being able to
disrupt public transport is immense power and they do abuse it.
Let us get to a point where most of our people have jobs, and then we can discuss more unions, until then unions are just yet another problem keeping us back in the dark ages.
And you believe that disbanding the unions will make everyone happily employed
In the midst of the Industrial Revolution we were in exactly the same position you are now
And it took unions and other righteous men to break the situation.
There has actually been a movie about this situation http://www.imdb.com/title/tt01.... See it and learn from it before you call me ignorant and pompuos.
