What you talking about Willis!
Willis said that the maturity of the market in BYOD administration tools should solve any nagging problems – so it's up to IT managers to sort it out.
So people shell out loads of money to Gartner and the best they can say is it should be okay.
For the price they charge I'd want a cast iron guarantee it "WILL SOLVE ANY NAGGING PROBLEMS" apologies for shouting!
Brown Alert!
Someone has a sense of humour then!
Not a good day!
Can we have an icon showing a dram being raised?
I have a t-shirt with "Break Into Banks" on the back for the "A Song Of Stone" book, love wearing it when I go in to pay my credit card bill.
So?
"Fourthly, Oracle needs a storage array roadmap that responds to a gradual but growing migration of enterprise's stored data into the cloud, which will include some primary data, thus reducing the market for shared storage arrays. "
Wouldn't this beg the question what "the cloud" actually stores stuff on and get in on that market?
Re: Er?
Like your description of evidence about smoking being "highly contained"
More accurate might be that a famous statistician being paid by the tobacco industry and saying actually "lung cancer caused smoking" not the other way round.
Er?
Immigration and the environment did not make the top of the list in any country over the 17-year period;
Okay neither made the top but I dare say the former does seem to exercise a lot of people.
Why lump two concerns together which seem to have very little connection/correlation.
Also 60 years ago nobody was concerned about the effects of smoking, (no one really knew the dangers) does this mean it should still be ignored?
I would love to have been at the meeting
Wonder what the meeting was like where it was decided to run with this communication.
Person 1: Er do you want to put your name to this?
Person 2: Not really, why don't you?
Person 1: Agreed lets bat this one upstairs !
Person 2: Do you think we can still get iPhones for work?
Person 1: Dunno!
Could be a fit up!
I think it was actually Barry Scott who did it!
Re: Just America?
Sorry what is wrong with a biker jacket for a toddler?
Late!
Always seems a "damned if you, do damned if you don't" situation re the delaying a release.
I'd rather something was a couple of weeks late if it removes some of the "bleeding edge" issues.
However I do think having a release every 6 months is just silly
I just got:
Fedora 16 will reach end of life on 2013-02-12, and no further updates will be pushed out after that time. Additionally, with the recent release of Fedora 18, no new packages will be added to the Fedora 16 collection.
Which is great as I've just moved some machines from 16 to 17 earlier this year (bloody php 5.3.* to 5.4.* broke a couple of WordPresses).
Think Centos is the way for me.
Re: Gas Fridge?
Cheers!
We used to have a gas fridge back in the 1970s, useful with the powercuts.
I was the one who had to crawl under the sink to relight the pilot if it ever went out!
As an aside I've never seen an advert with so many spelling mistakes coming from a UK company.
Gas Fridge?
Can you still get gas fridges?
Re: Well!
Hang on!
I added a list starting
Hungary 1956
Czechoslovakia 1968
Uganda 1978
Iran 1980
Afghanistan 1979
Cambodia 1978
India/Pakistan (various)
..
It wasn't aimed against the USA just it's not uncommon.
Seems my post got rather truncated!
Well!
Without defending the North Korean regime seems they haven't invaded another country for well over half a century, that's a lot longer than certain other countries!

Just looked at the page on Wikipedia for the K programming language, oh my giddy aunt!
Re: The internet's Cobol?
What's wrong with semi-colons?
How Much?
Moulton bicycles range in price from £950 to £16,500 depending on the model and specification. The price icon gives a relative scale for the price of each model in the range. For current pricing information please contact the Moulton Bicycle Company or find your local dealer via our Contact page.
Re: Terse?
In Chinese you have to decide between er and liang whereas we would just use two!
Terse?
" I was one of the fools who didn’t realise that English is the most terse of all major languages"
I'm learning Mandarin which makes English seem so flowery and over elaborate.
Re: Have I broken the law too?
I was more on about the results of Google Translate being rather mangled!
I used to write MT systems 10 years ago.
Have I broken the law too?
Below is a translation from Google Translate of a tweet from uriminzokkiri

Seriously WTF
Okay but...
No "Edge of Darkness" (Bob Peck not Mel Gibson!)
Here we go again!
I left school at 16 and went to work for BP as a marine engineer!
1984 and we were all made redundant, every last one of our years intake.
As someone said it's not personal.
So goes to University gets a degree starts working in IT.
I'm 49 now and if my job goes and there is nothing in sight I will just have to look at something else.
Jobs for life went in the 1970's it's sad but it's a fact of life, just deal with it the best you can.
So
Creatures would do anything to avoid Ryan Air back in those days as well!
Re: Hmmm....
Not conclusive I know but the view from the balloon suggests a very flat country, no sign of mountains or singing nuns so probably Holland not Austria.
P.S. Austrian jumper, Austrian flag?
Pardon?

Bill Hicks we miss you!
Just hope
Delays are inevitable with something like this but hope if there are several more he isn't tempted to push it just too far.
This will be great when it comes off and he lands safely!

Re: its become a bit fashionable to say 'Steve wouldn't let this happen...'
I agree Carol would let the side down a bit compared to the others!
Re: Never heard of this nobody...
By this I take it you mean download it, print it and the then burn that.
Please do not burn any electronic device you download it to, that would be silly!
Question
How many of the London Bombers were asylum seekers?
The difference between drones and more conventional strikes
From a "interest point of view" drones are more often targeted against important individuals such as the recent killing of Badruddin Haqqani. Whereas dropping a load of ordnance on a village in the mountains where no one famous gets killed could be part of the reason we don't get apps for that.
P.S. IMHO killing is killing and I feel far more sorry for the poor sod who gets killed whilst just trying to get on with their lives but that is the way the world seems to be, and always probably has been.
Re: Question is, what caused it.
You don't really get that much soot, i.e. solid particles from a marine diesel, when you see them "blowing the tubes" most of the crap comes from the solid particles from a boiler.
Re: Hittites
Hence Kurds are actually "Mountain Turks".
Re: Not quite
Er Pictish?
Great!
We can employ all the old "Kremlinologists" to see who is in and who is out by the relative position of the people in the photos.
Just wait until people start getting photoshopped out a-la Nikolai Yezhov!

Re: Twitter ID
Please don't tell me you don't know how to get round IP address logging!
This is suppose to be a place where people who know about IT congregated
And in old news
So if you don't agree with the messenger the news can be ignored?
Very long URL I know but these are Official Russian voting figures

Look at the first two rows of the last column.
Registered voters 320455

~64% of these votes went to guess who?
Nice place
It's a nice place to be but surprisingly expensive. The language is not "THAT" difficult one you realize prepositions are thin on the ground and it uses cases. Those who have drunk in Tallinn will no doubt know Nimega and Nimeta, the bars with and without names respectively!
Re: Btrfs?
Cheers makes sense!
Just wondering how it compares to say ZFS what with Oracle now "being involved" with two designs which seem to have quite a lot in common.
If you wanted to play with Btrfs would you be better looking at "Oracle Unbreakable Linux"?
Btrfs?
Whilst having support for file systems is nice I do wonder how much "Demand" there is for Btrfs?
Curious how many people who run Fedora would actually plump for anything other than ext4?
Now ZFS and something like Dtrace would be interesting.
As to the problems people may have with it just now, you know why it's called the bleeding edge don't you?
