California: "You must verify your age at login"

Also California: "Voter ID is oppressive".

I just received a new modem from Charter/Spectrum 2 weeks ago, because the new one supports 2.5Gb ethernet.....it has none of that stuff, it's strictly just a modem. I have the 1Gb tier of service, maybe that has something to do with it?

I have a pfSense machine running as my router, Spectrum hasn't given me any flak for that.

Who is this in response to? I guess my preferences may be filtering this.

Is this supposed to be a jab at Trump or something? You do know who the president in June 2016 was, right?

Let me introduce you to Theranos :-)

The ThinkPad line was also pretty important when it came to x86 laptops, although Lenovo has it now.

I haven't looked in AIX in about 10 years, is CICS available on it?

AIX = Ain't UNIX

I think you're right, I'd imagine those companies will continue using AIX as long as POWER systems are still being produced.

Solaris is a bit different tough. Didn't Oracle announce the end of SPARC production a few years ago? I know Fujitsu used to make SPARC based systems, I don't know if that's still a thing. Solaris on x86 was never really all that popular, and running stuff compiled for SPARC on Solaris x86 is crummy.

You mean like alcohol?

Wait, didn't they also come up with bukkake? They're doing it wrong!

Oracle RAC (or GRID, or whatever they call it now) is also pretty unique....it works better than MS SQL AlwaysOn clustering when it comes to horizontally scaled reads, and you don't have to use replication like you would with MySQL.

I don't know enough about PostGresQL to know what the options are for that.

If you could get a clear picture from them on what the price actually is. I could talk to three different sales reps on how much a license would cost on a particular setup, and get three different answers. This isn't as big of a deal with their cloud offerings, though.

From the story:

If you jumped ship from Oracle to MongoDB, you shouldn't have been using an RDBMS to begin with, much less one as expensive as Oracle.

If only apartment buildings also had electrical power like regular homes. You apartment dwellers must have it tough living in the dark.

Have you ever lived in an apartment? Quite a few of them don't even have dedicated parking (ie, you park on the side of the street).

I'm not a part of the whole "loud pipes save lives" cliche, but some sound make sense. When I rode the LiveWire prototype back in 2014, I had pedestrians almost step right in front of me in the parking lot (I was paying attention, so I wouldn't have hit them). "holy crap, we didn't hear you".

I have the same general feelings. Electrics just make more sense for cars at this point in time. The range on electric bikes just isn't there, especially in the American market, where motorcycles are generally treated as pleasure craft. I have 5 motorcycles, so I'm sure I don't fit the typical user profile, but when I go for a ride, it's easy for me to knock out a hundred miles on a Saturday.
