Well he's pushing for Open Source and TFA is light on details about whose cloud so perhaps he wants to migrate to an in house cloud? Still their problem but centralized a way that various departments can talk to each other easier where as now they can't because of disparate legacy systems.

I do agree with some previous posters about the scope of this project but I don't automatically reject the idea just because of the heavy use of buzz words (like "cloud")...

Maybe, but the writing in the warning seems to come from someone who speaks English as a second language.

It read like person that not know what are articles.

What does he think about systemd?

Smart of him, leave The Doctor out of this.

Made perfect sense to me. The Overrated moderation on the other hand doesn't make much sense considering his comment wasn't even rated yet.

No.

See? Even AC agrees. And, just like Bennett Haselton, he's always right!

If tylervigen.com has tought me anything it's that you are 100% correct.

For example, did you know?

Motorcycle riders killed in collision with stationary object correlates with Corporate Political Action Committees (US)

Obviously PACs are bad for motorcyclists!

Thanks, and for the record I automatically thought it was the editors, not sure in hindsight why that was my gut reaction but it was... Definitely not trying to pick on submitters! Even a poorly written (not yours, in general) but interesting submission should be displayed to us as a very well written submission, period, every time. That's what editors are for!

I very rarely complain about the editors and stay out of the beta discussions (but beta does suck) but I am getting as tired as everyone else with some of the submissions these days. If there are two articles that link to the exact same content but on different sites jut pick one and use it. Having two links just wastes the time of the users that actually RTFA...

* Yes, I occasionally RTFA, I'll turn in my /. ID on my way out now...

Here too, guess I should have mentioned, I speak from experience!

It goes to show that, especially in the computer security world, no good deed goes unpunished. You hear about it over and over, try to tell someone something is wrong with their computer security and the instant reaction is to shoot the messenger.

My guess is that this has a bigger impact on most projects than actual features of a chosen language. I was thinking it the whole time I read the summary and then, sure enough, it's mentioned as a disclaimer at the end...

Porn?

The posix subsystem was usable on NT4. Not so much since then. The latest version is basically a wrapper around the GNU tools and is more about Microsoft checking boxes on government forms when bidding on projects than anything else.

Cygwin is not perfect but I'd say it has far less issues than what MS offers.

I can't think of one application where Cygwin would not be far more beneficial than MS's half ass attempt at being Unixy.
