Comment So his argument is... (Score 1) 69

So his argument appears to be something like :Stealing clients money and spending it on something different than what you took it and said you're spending it on is a crime, but the amount you take is not related to the severity of the punishment, because it biases the jury" Right.

today Microsoft is one of the world's largest users of Linux. It has no current motivation to harm Linux and every reason to defend it.

False. As a hosting provider Microsoft doesn't care what OS people are using, they just have to host it. But as an OS provider, Linux is still competition, so they still have a reason to attack it.

Yeah, you're not understanding what I'm saying: Azure doesn't just host Linux VMs, significant parts of the infrastructure are built on Linux. Microsoft has just as much (if not more) to lose from a resurgent SCO lawsuit than anyone, they aren't going to be the ones rocking this boat.

Who bothers with computers when you just created the World in 6 days?

One could argue that no one is doing it in six days without a shit ton of automation support. Some cherubim in ops saved eons when he wrote createstar.pl and it's still running in production today (though it looks like creategalaxy.pl stopped executing some time ago and hasn't been restarted and/or patched yet).

Comment all JENSENS fault, I bet he gets ram cheap (Score 1) 245

Seriously, all Jensans fault.

HE knew he had a big demand, that would cause him to use most of the supply thus stuffing up the whole world.
He should have either pre-pared SKhynix and said, tripple your ram output or, not bought all the ram off the supply.
So they could either increase DDR4 supply, or make lower specced more supply of DDR5.
Seriously how much ram do they need? A trillion peta bytes of ram? Improve your damn code first, instead of committing 50 billion in purchases,
a smart person would buy less more often, and improve code, rather than lazily buy 90% of the world supply just to be king.
I wonder when people will start ram raiding data centers for 3 million in GPUs and RAM in the pickup.

Comcast and Verizon were granted special tax breaks in order to reach 98% diffusion of 'broadband' in PA. By 1998. They still haven't met the 1998 definition of broadband, but Comcast has exclusive licensing to the region I live in. I have only starlink, dialup, or god freaking awful geostationary satellite as an alternative, and it is not legal to start another cable provider, even if I wanted to here.

Those cell companies throttle down to LTE all the time. I tried the T-mobile thing once for about half an hour. It flip flopped connection protocols in the middle of conference calls and dropped in the middle of downloads in order to hop between connection types. It was damned near unusable.
