crossing a human with a flower may not result in a talking flower
Probably a screaming flower writhing in anguish if sci-fi authors are sufficiently prescient.
say the patch unexpectedly breaks another critical function of the server.
When this happens, it usually takes a lot longer to fix than it takes to drive in to work, because the way it breaks is unexpected. The proper method is to have an identical server get upgraded with this automatic maintenance window method the day before while you're at work or at least hours before the primary system so that you can halt the automatic method remotely before it screws up the primary system. If the service isn't important enough, let your monitoring software wake you up if there's a failure or ignore it until you get in at your normal time. Most of the time, having a regularly well-rested sysadmin is more important to a company than having "light-switch monitoring server three" running between 4AM and 8AM.
Without science, philosophy is useless.
Philosophy created science without science's help.
people who want other people to think that are smart, but aren't actually smart enough to do science, you know: philosophers.
remember kids: philosophers are to science what homeopaths are to medicine.
And also remember that anyone with a Ph.D. in a science field isn't a scientist. They're a doctor of philosophy. Without philosophy, science doesn't exist.
There are almost no basements in Texas.
Why not? You'd think they'd be a nice place to cool off.
The go wikipedia article is the 3rd result if I just search for "go".
And if you want the wikipedia go article, you can just go to wikipedia. Other go articles are harder to find.
Init scripts are like BAT files for Windows, a technological baggage from the dumb ages where everything was fine as long as it sort of worked, kinda. Who even knows the sh language fluently? I bet every single unix weenie must google at least once, whenever they are forced to write a shell script. What a pile of junk that language is. Even JavaScript is like a mystical paradise compared to that shit.
You've read it here first folks, Bourne Shell is dead, long live Bourne Again Shell! Or csh, tcsh, zsh, ksh, what have you. Oh, wait; parent is probably advocating for the loss of command lines altogether. Good luck doing stupidly repetitive tasks, sonny.
I would be in favor of an organized boycot of the upcoming Superman/Batman movie
I would be in favor of a disorganized ignoring of the upcoming Superman/Batman movie just because I expect the movie to stink. DC's movie series start strong but fail fast. It's like the only stories they can do well are origins, and those are pretty boring.
Get your cars and your guns of my ski-slope ; ).
You just made me think of an interesting new Olympic sport: The Drive-By Biathlon Jump. It will have both street-legal and monster-truck versions for both urban and rural American enjoyment.
Where can I find one of these?
