Any half-way competent storage administrator or systems administrator should be able to build a storage array themselves these days.
It will be down fast though. And then you will find out the management interface is missing, the documentation is missing, the disks have unspecified interface trouble, or the power supply mysteriously doesn't work and there is no maintenance contract. Aieeee!
We consider that there is a breach of copyright and we are deciding what to do next."
"Before yesterday we thought we had invented all of western civilization all by ourselves with nary copying or inspiration. Today we learn that it is actually possible to do things that are similar to what we did and the government hasn't yet dispatched killbots. We already have hired M. Orlowski from the renowned Copyright-Pressing netzine "The Register" to write fiery articles bemoaning the planned starvation and wholescale holocaust of creative types in these modern times!"
Woah there.
If you think systemd is a problem for Linux, you are not really in the right spirit.
It's not the best of ideas but it can be tamed. Then somethign better will come along (can I get my Prolog-based startup scritping NOW???) and life will go on.
Aren't you thinking of the Prussian Stechschritt?
But Kim can just dial up some beautiful women whenever he wants so, unlike for loner nerds, his nastiness doesn't need to become excessive.
One or two lost satellites the owners could hush up, but after there's been four taken out, it becomes a bit more difficult to deny there's a problem.
Nobody "hushes up" lost satellites. Why? Because investors and customers need assurance that orbital stuff works and stays working (plus, insurance claims may come due).
And now I just NEED those Jefferies Tubes. Maybe with Xenomorphs inside.
If NATO deploys into Ukraine, the "loaned area" might well extend up to Kiev all of a sudden.
You just don't fuck around with the military interest and need of strategic leeway of an ex-super-centralized state that doesn't particularly trust you, then play nonchalant while letting your generals pump aggressive messages into the aether and having the press/TV (clearly heavily freedomized if not dogwaggified) issue incendiary commentary.
Funny how these things always happen during Olympic Games, too.
Meanwhile, at the "Pivot to Asia":
US Pivot to Asia Poised to Enter Nuclear Phase
Hmm... US to deploy first-strike-capable tactical nuclear weapons in the Pacific Theatre. What could go wrong?
We need an icon for "warming"
The fun with random is that they are sometimes nonrandom to our meaty pattern matcher.
In this case, the recent Twinkle Action is of interest (with obscuring comets unlikely to be the cause, so El Reg headline is a case of churnalistic errorbait), but the long-term secular "dimming" is not peculiar or distinguishable from noise when one compares against other stars in the archive.
> And a big shout out to Bill Gates for creating Windows
Bill Gates was not particularly involved in creating Windows, there were crazy cellar monkeys hacking up a semi-functional system while be was talking to IBM about how to bring OS/2 (and PM) to market.
Also, I find this kind of arm-raising salutes disturbing.
Maybe he's Matt Bryant in shiney new clothes?
Can't be, there is no unwarranted dissing of everything Sun, no mention of "dead-end Sunshiners", no egotisitic strutting as "most hardcore admin in the West who always knew this" and no "Oracle did it first, Oracle is the best, the BEST!" ebullient enthusiasm for the red-colored House of Harkonnen.
Dadmin is rather reasonable.
Some eejitconfused co-citizen says:
Windows 7 is pretty ancient by IT standards
Did you mean to say "Windows 7 is pretty ancient by Microsoft marketing standards"?
I don't want to diss the probably excellently skilled and extensively manicured as well as quite likely female-by-a-high-percentage Microsoft marketing section, but these people are fuck bonkers crazy and no mistake.
Some other eejitfukken dumbass says:
The best test is to give a computer to a child and see if they can use it in a proficient manner quickly
A child can also proficiently use a suicide vest. I think we have reached the bottom of the retardation now.
Are you seriously running a mission-critical server on a box with a consumer desktop version of Windows installed on it? You are aware that there are versions of Windows that have "Server" in the name? Why do you think that is?
Another version that's just not fit for mission-critical operations, just with a different price tag to re-enable "features consumers are not interested in"?
Just looking at the El Reg headlines reveals how utterly toxic and dis-empowering "consumer IT" has become.
Like getting rogered repeatedly by a cloudy, decadently embroidered and patent-encumbered elephant in must who demands money, proceeds to action, then pisses on you once his immediate needs have been fulfilled.
Wrutten by .Net munkeys possibly so codekewl that they dropped out of uni as the material was too abstract, now hidden inside the bowel of the Redmond beast and lorded over by the marketing barons of interconnectedness and cloud sharing. Yes, GiBs will be lost.
Maybe he totally, utterly believes he is SN (as some people believe they are the Messiah and pull others along in their mesmerizing slipstream), but whenever he turns around and tries to prove it, reality conspires to thwart him!
It would be like a protagonist of a PKD novel. Just get romantically involved with young girls and add a bit of the IoT to make it complete.
