Comment Please and ALL plastic coatings for any product th (Score 1) 51

You can't buy a water bottle at any reasonable price that doesn't have unknown nickel composition and unknown coating on inside of container/straw/lid. They will all be BPA free, woop, but damn it we are in trouble with this.

Favourite aluminium bottle, just aluminium left in an airport last year. Discovered a nikel allergy from Stainless steel bottles, can't get aluminium without polyamide coatings on inside, god knows what's on straws/lids.

These products are poisoning us, and there's flock all we can do about unless Government Regulators ban them, then actually check the damn products being coming in via various online distribution channels from an Eastern country.

Glass bottles coming with plastic coatings, straws with PF* coatings, it's actually scary.

Comment Bull (Score 1) 66

For various reasons, I am in a pharmacy quite frequently lately, getting prescriptions. A relationship of sorts with the people there is strangely important or good. No one else in the world really knows why I collecting X or Y, but these people do, and they smile and they wish you well, and they generally seem to mean it.

Comment Porn Drives Technology Choices (Score 0) 83

Porn consumers have been making "technology" decisions at least since betamax vs VHS, but realistically probably for a lot longer.

All that's going to happen here is some technology will be chosen by consumers to satisfy the porn demand. People larp about bitcoin equivalents, but I don't think that's more than the hype of people with coins.

Modern porn drives ad networks (and realistically + questionable legalities), but it's a very important/popular/relevant part of today's media consumption. What comes next will be very interesting.

Comment Re: Who has read some of Cory's stories? (Score 1) 76

I can't post pictures. I have a physical copy of an actual paper version of a book. This is advertising to a demographic. If Cory is so free thinking he will remove all books, (virtual, physical and audible) from Amazon. But that won happen.

10k to pick next story, is there an only fans I can get socks pics on?

Oh Christ this. That N.K. Jemisin book reads like a high school junior English essay. It's absolutely awful.

Rewind to 2016: If Seveneves, or Ancillary Mercy could not beat that author in 2016 there is something right wrong.

I tried Hugo awards finalists for the final time in 2017.
- Becky Chambers, reads like a teenage diary.
- N.K. Jemisin still reads like a high school junior English essay.
- The Liu books are pure waffle.

WTF is wrong with these aware ceremonies?

Comment Ksplice really is not new (Score 5, Informative) 52

I would probably be an Oracle "fan boy". Ksplice is not new. They "bought" it a few years ago, one of the main reasons it took so long forTorvald's kernel to get hot kernel patching.

Ksplice will only update the OS, it cannot update drivers or firmware of any kind (Storage arrays, NICs, etc...) you still need to bounce for that. Learned the unfortunate way when we needed to update drivers for a buggy as be damned big blue flash array. (Very recent history...)

Also as I RTFA, SELinux does not yet work with an Oracle DB. When it does it will be amazing, but it has not happened yet...
