Seriously. Or, what I really want, is when can everyone else get a self driving car!!

Car accidents will drop. In fact the other day I was thinking about how sometime in the not-too-distant future, people who drive themselves will be considered reckless, like driving with a cellphone or bottle of whisky in your hand, as they'll cause most accidents.

This is probably true... I would still prefer to drive myself but I feel the cost of insurance on a vehicle of the manual nature will be extraordinary.

I like the idea of driving myself but it is worth giving that up to stop everyone else from driving themselves. But, as much as I like driving, getting to read a book, post to ML and drink wine while traveling in my car are worth a LOT to me.

I spend about an hour in the car each day... if I could turn that time into something resembling productive (even playing a video game) I would give up driving.

I think most video games will be tough just because of the unavoidable car motion.

I was thinking 3DS or something similar... even an emulator on the phone is very nice to have on long trips.

OMG, talk abut car sickness. Wow.

Hmmm, I get car sick when reading a book in the car... not when playing games.

Sadly, in many cases, government and religion are part of IT. Mostly because IT is everywhere, including in government and religion. Nothing wrong with that per se but the problem is is that keeping government and religion out of all IT discussions is akin to keeping business out of it. But in many cases business, religion or politics are the context of IT.

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.
