Comment Re: No big surprise, just disappointment (Score 2) 105

We use XCP-ng in the office, but it has one major flaw. You can't nest M$ Hyper-V in it. The M$ Hyper-V fails under XCP-ng, but seems to work in other nest virtualization setups. Long running bug that really needs fixing, as it prevents being able to run WSL2 on virtualized workstations. And I understand it causes issues with Docker on windows as well.

We already have issues with "bleaching" events I understand.

What a lot of people don't seem to take into account is the feedback loop that we currently are experiencing. Personally, I'm convinced that we are going to experience much more extreme weather much sooner than most current modeled estimates indicate.

Comment Amazon to the rescue? (Score 2) 41

What does this say about the FDA and associated drug manufacturers that AMAZON is coming to the rescue?

Amazon is not exactly a paragon of virtue here. But being able to dress themselves up as such should be a chilling warning about what the future may hold if nothing is done to correct the systemic issues we currently have in healthcare where sick patients are profit centers unless they get too sick and get soylent greened.

Comment NOT TRUE... anyone wishing to use characters... (Score 4, Insightful) 237

> Once copyright expires, anyone wishing to use characters from everyone's favorite rodent will not have to request permission or pay copyright charge.

The mouse and other various characters are trademarked. Trademarks don't expire if the holder defends against infringement. This was actually used as a red hearing during the SCOTUS trial where suit was brought about unreasonable copyright periods to keep existing law from being overturned.

Steam Boat Willie, the story and the cartoon, would become available for free use and derivative creation however.

Literally. Now if they would also use curly braces instead of indentation for logical blocks, it would finally be a language worth using. Messed-up indentation is constantly screwing up logic when code is merged or refactored, and editors/IDEs that auto-"fix" indentation silently mess up program logic.

Indeed!

Unless....

you had their DSL.

No more DSL. Your best best is tp hope for unlimited cellular being available in these areas.

If you are still on their legacy DSL... and it still happens to work.... good for you... for that shitty packet losing service.

My service got so bad I just had to up and cancel it. It got to the point of being totally unusable. Even after I told them about and canceled, they went ahead and charged me for a full month of service, even though I didn't get said service.
