Check for a nearby airport rental return. The rental agencies require a fill up within x distance or they charge even more.

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).

This was a reasonable screed two decades ago (and probably at least somewhat factual) but 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.

Well. It would be a bit like the roadster launch into space. Experimental rocket, so great if it works, not bad if it does not.
That said, intercepting an orbiting satellite safely is a hard task.

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.
