I like VSSL -- very secure socket layer :P
It could even be written/pronounced VeSSeL. Loose definitions of vessel could even be applied to the functionality of SSL.

Normally the fix is:

rpm --rebuilddb
yum clean metadata

Was there more involved for your fix?

I believe I am dumber as a result of watching that video. That has to be one of the funniest, most out of touch things I have seen in a long time.

Awesome!! So if the ACA is such a fucking success where is the $2500/year I am supposed to be saving vs. the actual observed increase of ~$2000/yr I see now?

Oh wait.. I must be a republicrat for even mentioning that and thus not worthy of a response.....

Did you, you know, configure the location for those? I have used several KDE weather plasmoids and they all worked well.. once I configured the location. I am pretty sure that you would need to do the same with MS widgets. Just sayin.

Equally long we already could have switched to a full wind and solar powered world.

citation please.

Comparing the number of EOs to arrive at any sort of conclusion is much like measuring productivity by lines of code written/comitted. The raw numbers tell very little.

This reminds me of the SCO lawsuit, where the most they ever found was, what, 7 lines of infringing code which SCO themselves had nicked from AT&T UNIX?

A little off-topic I know, but IBM was never found to have infringed on any code from SCO. SCO tried to *claim* some code that was already licensed under a FLOSS license was the same as their code and thus infringed on their IP. They made a big deal of this to the press forcing them to sign NDA's & "showing them the code".

3) Yeah, we can send you a patch for that and you can compile the kernel SRPM, or

RH does not support custom compiled kernels. Basically, if you compile your own kernel there is no reason to use RH because you have just "voided your warranty" and the whole system is considered suspect.

This problem is endemic in open source unfortunately, and not just for developers - constant UI change, application deprecation/replacement, etc.

Which is why most projects will put older versions into a maintenance mode doing security/bug fixes but no new features *before* arbitrarily EOL'ing that version and dropping support.

They mention having EOL'd 2.6 last October.. yet 2.6 is the system Python on RHEL/CentOS/Scientific 6 systems. I am not going to hose my system for the sake of what a Python dev wants.

If you swapped out the Python that came with the system with a new, incompatible Python, chances are good that it break so hard it wouldn't even be able to boot up.

I had an arrogant developer who did just that on a RHEL6 system. He stomped* on the system python (/usr) with python 3.X.
This effectively broke most of the package management ( yum was completely screwed) along with a ton of system tools.

* he installed from source over top of the system RPM files rather than just put his version of python somewhere out of the way like /opt or /usr/local. He did not uninstall the rpms ( he realistically couldn't ) so he grabbed a bigger hammer. Dumb ass.

I don't disagree with anything you say, but keep in mind what PETAs real goal is. It has almost nothing to do with the treatment of animals. It is almost entirely about pushing a vegan agenda.

Moreso than NAMBLA, I think PETA is most similar to the Westboro Baptist Church with their arguments and rhetoric.

Obama has been the single largest enemy of the Constitution since taking office. Being a "Constitutional Lawyer" only provided him with the tools to make end-runs around the document that defines this country.

This being the man that campaigned on "Change" and "Transparency" in govt.

"How can you tell Obama is lying? His lips are moving."
