Overriding a user's stated preference by silently reverting it is what we're talking here, not changing the default.

If you change your view to "Most Recent," it should stay that way, regardless of what they think it does to "engagement."

Safari is available for OS X and Windows.

Is that true? I was under the impression that ATSC transmitters used tubes as well.

And tubes in UHF broadcast stations are in no way anachronistic.

Also, it's easier for them to get more speculative work because the cost of failure is lower.

It's just generating more big data via logging.

Yeah, vibration, or accidental removal. I have cats, dogs, and kids.

Uhhh....

And ZipCar.

I think it's more complicated than that. Because Amazon is claiming that if you let them handle it, you keep your instance data. That's not a stop-start (at least what we ordinary users can do).

It's more like a system restart with a little downtime managed by them.

You can try a stop-start yourself, but it's not guaranteed to help. And a restart yourself doesn't do anything.

Are you kidding? I have to run i2s. I can't afford anything else! :)

Restarting an instance (not stop-start) doesn't change the hardware you're on, so I don't think this has a physical explanation.

Re: [1], isn't that far too many drives in one RAIDZ? Referencing this: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Prac...

They do something similar. And they're both wrong. Why bring Google into this?

That usage of the word 'enlightened' is giving me the howling fantods.

Even still, it still has some stupid things going on, like what's a VARCHAR2? And having to use an outer query to get ROWNUM to work when there's an ORDER BY clause.

What if you're writing a migration that includes DML, and it fails partway through? Wouldn't it be good to be able to restore the DB state automatically and try again?

I have to ask: Has anybody managed to mine Bitcoin in Minecraft yet?

You mean Queens and the Bay Area.

This is why I went stainless.

Look out, many times aluminum bottles are lined with a BPA coating, too.

Why do you think that modern Linux is "real & scary"?

They're installing Scratch, isn't that the opposite of scary?

Someone needs to cross-correlate this with bedbug reports.

But that place has housing problems!

I just went past one on the train to work. They're everywhere!

It's any MITM attack, not just XSS, right?

The problem is that Google's been in court for a long time over their Java API reimplementation, and Scala doesn't get them away from that.
