Highlights:

Fedora Server

Database Server Role. The Fedora Server edition focuses on easy of different server roles. Fedora 21 debuted with an Domain Controller Role featuring FreeIPA. For this release, we’ve added a Database Server role, built around PostgreSQL. Default to XFS filesystem. The default file system type for Fedora Server installs will be XFS running atop LVM for all partitions except /boot. The /boot partition will remain a non-LVM, ext4 partition due to technological limitations of the bootloader. Cockpit will be compatible between OS releases. Cockpit is a server manager that makes it easy to administer your GNU/Linux servers via a web browser.
- Easy to use. Cockpit is perfect for new sysadmins, allowing them to easily perform simple tasks such as storage administration, inspecting journals and starting and stopping services.
- No interference. Jumping between the terminal and the web tool is no problem. A service started via Cockpit can be stopped via the terminal. Likewise, if an error occurs in the terminal, it can be seen in the Cockpit journal interface. Multi-server. You can monitor and administer several servers at the same time.

My first job closed down right after I quit. I have a history of quitting a week or so before everyone else keeps working but without getting paychecks.

So, you're saying you're the grim reaper of businesses

It would appear so.

It's much like how COBOL and Fortran take quite a beating today. But they were breakthroughs at the time and were really important.

In the context of their time COBOL, FORTRAN, et al were important, but today they're lumbering proto-dinosaurs. It's more disturbing than anything else how much out there still uses it and should've been replaced long ago.

I was going to mention flash as well, and what I like is how flash is finally on its way out, and mostly only gets used now for video. We fail over to flash player for some of our older videos which are not re-encoded (we've been slowly re-encoding to something HTML5 friendly, but there are 2 million videos so it's taking a while) and also fail over if the person simply doesn't have HTML 5 video playing for whatever reason.

Where did this come from?

From the Microsoft demo of Windows 10 at Spiceworld London. They specifically said

"It will be a subscription based model after the first year, security updates will be completely free BUT if you want feature updates, you need to have a subscription"

Ah okay, that's the first that I have heard them say that anywhere.

Same. I know there where paid feature updates as windows will essentially be windows 10 for now on. and feature changes will replace upgrades but, last I hard you could pay for them as a on time thing. businesses with VLKs will of course be required to pay with SA.

Where did you see that coming from Microsoft? Sure there are tons of articles that THINK that's what's going to happen, but there are no announcements to that end that I know of.

For a start, where is the cheese?

That would make it a cheeseburger.

Ah well, I'd probably still eat it.

Wasn't that basically WWII with Hitler?

No, Hitler was one of the most admired people in the world at the start of the war. The US entered the war primarily against Japan, not Germany, and not until after the war was Hitler a hated figure. Remember that Hitler was Time's Man of the Year and was implementing policies that came from the US, not from Germany, and many Americans thought very, very highly of him even during the war. The impression that you have of the American impression of him is a product of history books and doesn't reflect the time period.

Admired amongst anti-Semites and fascists maybe. Hated by democrats and liberals. We were fortunate that Roosevelt was one of the latter. Time's "award" was because he was the most influential person in the world, not because they admired him in any way.

I've never been in a one man shop but, was always required to check email, and phone messages and have VPN access if available at every job I've had while on vacation.

I think you can read more about one man shops in the Divine Comedy

Mine has already updated. But I didn't look to see if it was running any faster.

Yeah I didn't notice any difference... However, I use Steam as a gateway to my game library, so I'm not sure how you can make that go noticeably faster.
Perhaps, the improvements were in the areas of the client that I don't use... i.e. the other 90% of the Steam Client

Soooooo, will it play Crysis?

Kind of on a rant today, aren't you @tonyshowoff ?

Not really, my wife said she was tired of hearing me complain about things on the Internet, so now I'm just typing what I used to sit here and say outloud, shouting across the room.

LOL - I know that feeling...
