    Cool ; they finally copied FreeBSD Jail technology 🙂 this is one thing I've been missing on Linux.

    No, that they've had, more of less, for a while. This is a little different, I think. Have not played with it but this is more of application virtualization (I hate that term) rather than how Jails approaches it. Lots of similarity but Linux already had LXC and other technologies to attempt to compete with Jails. No idea why they didn't port Jails directly or make something almost identical. Solaris Zones is really the one to catch, they've had it for so long and it is so enterprise that that is the one to mimic.

    I know. What a weird malware attack. I wonder how well it works.

    XP to Mint has a lower learning curve for many people than XP to 8. We tested it. Much easier.

    thought of testing Linux Mint today. We still have issues that cannot resolve in windows 7, so we are using Win XP mode in virtual

    You can run Windows XP on VIrtualBox on Linux Mint.

    If you're going to run a VM, why not just move to Win8.1/7 with an XP VM?

    Because Mint is her main OS and what she wants to be running.

    Yes Exactly.

    I remember when that was all that there was. I stopped using that long, long ago though. DynDNS doesn't seem to be too important anymore, but I'm not sure why.

    It was often used to host mail servers from residential or business dynamic IP addresses. As things shift to stable, often hosted, infrastructure, the need for dynamically updating external DNS diminishes. It still has uses for low-end failover scenarios.

    I'm curious how this may/may not impact their phone launch.

    Hard to say. I wouldn't think that it is a big deal. The phone will still have access to competing services and this isn't part of their app store or anything. Minimal impact, I'm thinking.

    Oracle makes Java. Many SMBs have Java.

    True, although since it is free and just an underpinning that they tend to use and not actually think about, I think that they often miss that fact. Many use MySQL too, which is obviously Oracle. And more and more, for whatever reason, use ZFS.

    I will have to be super careful now that I am using multiple tablets and my laptop (which is connected to my desktop via synergy). The temptation to just leave the laptop stationary most of the time will be there now.

    Glassdoor claims $12/hr, but Glassdoor famously shows really low numbers and doesn't have any accuracy checks. I don't trust their numbers at all.

    But even $12 at the 50 hour/week claims that everyone makes for Amazon would be $34K.

    But look at Glassdoor, the same people claiming $12/hr are also claiming $3K in cash bonuses, $1K+ in tips (warehouse tips? something is fishy with that site) and other big incentives.

    US Dept of Labor says that the median is $13.50.

    It's not a market that can handle hundreds of players. A handful are all that really make sense.
