Ofcourse they won't find anything with arbitrary limitations like that.

Why was this not one of the options? I honestly scanned the list for it. Twice! :-D

If cosmic rays were the cause (presumably from the sun since that's the closest source) then I would assume that latitude would be an important factor as well. Less sun means less cosmic radiation. My money is on the simplest explanation: Heat.

How many times must people be hit in the head with a clue bat before they understand that this is a Bad Idea[tm]

If you've got a problem, come and knock on my door.

How can you or anyone else know what my minimum requirements for a VM are? Just a bootable kernel? An ssh server? A web server? Perhaps even some software that lets me serve more than static HTML files? In my experience, a VM is sometimes intended to serve some other purpose than merely existing inside a hypervisor. I have yet to see a distro that *doesn't* come with some sort of "minimal install" option, and I've yet to do such an install and be done with it.

They have a long history of not giving a cluck what customers want, that's the beauty of market dominance by lock-in.

The problem is, many people seem to have forgotten what an operating system actually is and what it isn't. What they see when they boot up their computers is a user interface. Go ahead and try to explain the difference to someone who grew up with DOS, Windows or Linux :-/

Isn't the whole point with MPTCP that only the endpoint hosts (e.g. VMware and the NFS/iSCSI NAS) need to support MPTCP while the routers and switches do not? Or did I misunderstand something?

I think you're missing his point. The temperature and weather patterns on this planet are not constant, they're constantly changing and have done so as long as the planet existed. There's nothing you and I can do about it, and adding stupid taxes and fees only make things even harder for people to cope with the inevitable climate changes that would still come if we all still lived in caves and only ate dead leaves. Earth does not care about cities, crops, religion or living things that try to survive on it because it's just a ball of molten iron with a thin crust of rock and carbon. We live on it but some day we won't.

This is incorrect. Most fighters since the 80's have had the thrust/weight ratio necessary for pulling 9G longer than any pilot would want. Beginning with the F16, the avionics are programmed to stop the aircraft from exceeding that limit, or the pilot would effectively kill himself by pulling too hard on the stick. During peace time, the F16 is usually limited to 6G to reduce wear and tear.

Have you ever been to Iran, or is your idea of Iran as a pile of sand populated with cave-dwelling camel-humping wife-beating fundamentalists purely based on other well-informed and unbiased sources such as Fox News? You might want to double check those facts of yours. Their president may be missing one or two important screws but that seems to be the rule rather than the exception with world leaders. Iran is just as technologically advanced as your typical "Western" country and they are not to be underestimated. They're hardly the first country to play games with mock-up aircraft either.

In fact you can take those figures and multiply them by atleast 4 if you want more than just a handful of concurrent players and no lag.

Unless your goal is to make your product ubiquitous. In that case you might want to consider listening to the users, in this case the enterprises that use RH Enterprise Linux and its derivatives. Simple math is rarely enough to build a successful business.

Well isn't that great? Now those evil terrorists know they can only legally operate within less than 10% of US territory or they risk having their consumer electronics taken away from them. That should make them think twice, I'm sure.
