Magnificent Trees of The New York Botanical Garden - New York Botanical Garden Through April 14, 2013 - Bronx
Larry Lederman, landscape photographer and member of NYBG's Board of Advisors, has spent years walking the garden grounds to observe and photograph trees and vistas in all seasons and at all times of day.

An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames - Hudson River Museum Through May 19, 2013 - Yonkers
In the late 18th century, British artists developed the large-scale panorama, which became a popular form of entertainment in Europe and the United States. The Hudson River Museum's exhibition, "The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames," explores the panoramic vista as the ideal expression for a new, all-embracing way of seeing the landscape that influenced how the public and artists perceived it as well. By the early 19th century, painters such as Robert Havell Jr. worked to express this panoramic perspective in their choice and depiction of vistas. Havell and other artists in the exhibition such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Kensett, favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression. "The Panoramic River" features loans from museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: Baltimore Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fenimore Art Museum, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; and Princeton University Art Museum. "The Panoramic River" is organized by Hudson River Museum co-curators Bartholomew Bland, Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with additional essays by Pat Hardy, Curator of Paintings, Prints and Drawings, Museum of London, and Geoff Snell, Doctoral Student, University of Sussex and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England. The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue have been made possible by a generous grant from the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, Inc. On view through May 19, 2013.

Devil on the 2 bus
Today, after church, I hopped on the 2 and took a free, Earth Day ride downtown to meet my friend Aileen. Because it was early afternoon on a Sunday, many of my fellow riders–identifiable by their Bibles, fancy outfits, and "What did you think of Pastor So-and-so's sermon?" conversations–were also coming from church.
One older gentleman sitting in the front section, who apparently wasn't finished with his worship, decided to bring church to the bus. (He's certainly not the first.) He sang songs, lectured everyone within earshot about Jesus ("Be thankful he woke you up …

That's more than I can say for the guy who drove my inbound 17 on Thursday night. That driver, who was nowhere near 80, was happy to share the details of his tickets and a recent accident (the reason he "doesn't have to worry about working overtime") with the passenger sitting in the seat adjacent to his. As if his erratic driving wasn't reason enough …

After attempts to consolidate the local airline sector last year, Italian airlines are back in the news this year. Much of the attention has been dominated by Alitalia, and the expiration earlier this month of a lock-in on the airline's Italian investors (a total of 21 different Italian interests took a stake in the airline as part of the rescue deal which relaunched it as a private carrier four years ago) and who might be a buyer if they do decide to sell. For much more on this see our recent analysis of Alitalia and the Italian market.
At the same time the pressure on Italy's second biggest carrier Meridiana Fly continues. It announced plans to cut 10 aircraft and 600 jobs at the end of last year as part of efforts to stabilise its financial position, and has just appointed Roberto Scaramella as its new chief executive. It comes as parent company Meridiana has consolidated its ownership of the carrier following its takeover of Air Italy last year. Italian aviation regulator ENAC has now put Meridiana Fly under closer scrutiny by issuing it with a temporary operating licence, renewable on a monthly basis.
Similar conditions have been in place at another Italian airline Blue Panorama since October – which had originally been in line to merge with Alitalia last year. Another Italian carrier, Wind Jet, ceased operations last year shortly after failing to agree terms on a deal with Alitalia.
All this has prompted ENAC to launch a probe into the financial health of Italian airlines (more on this today on Flightglobal's premium news service) and you can read Flightglobal's analysis from last November for more about the challenges facing Italian airlines.
The combination of mergers and failures among Italy's airlines in recent years has seen a sharp decline in the number of local carriers, reducing their collective market share in the process and opening the door further to overseas carriers. Low-cost carriers in particular have been staking their claim in the highly fragmented Italian market. Market share based on ASK data shows Ryanair is now comfortably the second largest operator on Italian domestic routes, and along with EasyJet also have a strong presence on flights from Western Europe into Italy. Following the collapse of Wind Jet, Meridiana Fly is now the only other local airline alongside Alitalia and its Air One brand to register a significant presence in domestic or intra-European share. Read more on this market share shift here.

Armitage III (アミテージ・ザ・サード Amitēji Za Sādo?) is a 1995 cyberpunk anime series centered on Naomi Armitage, a highly advanced "Type-III" android.
The series began with the four-part original video animation Armitage III and spawned two movies. The first film is a shortened version of the OVA entitled Armitage III: Poly-Matrix (アミテージ・ザ・サード POLY-MATRIX?), redubbed into English and presented as a remake. The second film, Armitage III: Dual-Matrix (アミテージ・ザ・サード DUAL-MATRIX?) is a sequel set some years after the original story.
The Region 1 DVD from Geneon of Poly Matrix was one of the few releases from the company to feature THX-certified audio and video.
Armitage III: Poly-Matrix[edit]
In 2046, the overpopulation of Earth has led to the colonization of Mars—with the aid of the "first type" androids, men were able to begin terraforming the unfriendly environment of Mars and build the city Saint Lowell. Seventy years after the start of colonization, the city is completed and inhabited by great numbers of people and "Second type" robots, much improved versions of the "First types". Ross Syllibus, a middle-aged policeman from Chicago, flies to Saint Lowell using a space shuttle. Syllibus asked to be transferred to the Martian Police Department to escape from his past and haunting memories of his previous partner being killed by a robot. At the Saint Lowell's space port he is to meet his new partner—a young woman named Naomi Armitage.
On the same shuttle as Syllibus travels Kelly McCannon—"the last country singer in the Universe". As the shuttle nears the terminal, a mysterious man is seen entering the cargo section; soon after this, the intruder is noticed and the alarms go off.
Later, as Ross gets off the shuttle, he witnesses a disturbing scene at the airport. He bumps into the mysterious man with a big suitcase and two guards. Soon after that, Armitage orders the men to stop and get their hands up. Puzzled, Ross notices a few drops of blood spilling from the mysterious man's suitcase. The two robot guards are killed by Armitage and the mysterious man is wounded, but flees. However, he leaves his suitcase behind—inside of which is the dead body of Kelly McCannon. To everybody's surprise and horror, McCannon turns out to be a robot: a new, never-seen-before "Third type" android that is superficially identical to humans.
Later, the mysterious man hacks into the public television system and replays the security camera footage. The tape shows the man killing Kelly McCannon and reveals the fact of her being a robot to the entire city. The mysterious man, René D'anclaude, reveals that the Third types have been among the regular people for a long time and nobody can tell them apart from humans. He also reveals a list of Thirds—and it turns out that a lot of well-known people are actually robots. Riots begin in the city as people start to capture and burn all the Thirds they can find. Meanwhile, René D'anclaude proceeds with his extermination of the Thirds. The two main characters start their investigation and eventually find out, that the victims are women.
One of the dying victims sends out a message with the list of Thirds to save them from being slaughtered. Armitage receives it and pursues D'anclaude. Armitage is eventually revealed to be a third and goes into hiding as the police hunt for her. Ross seeks her out as she enlists the help of a male third named Julian Moore. D'anclaude then attacks them and is revealed to be a second.
While the police drop the case with D'anclaude's supposed capture, Armitage and Julian search a databank for information on her origins. Armitage eventually defeats D'anclaude, but is too late to stop Julian from being killed. She and Ross break into the hospital D'anclaude was recovering in, branding themselves as criminals after the rescue.
Armitage and Ross later go off in search of her "father", Dr. Asakura, only to learn he had lost his mind, as explained by a gentler, reprogrammed version of D'anclaude, living with delusions of creating "Fourths". His line of assassinroids were used by the government to kill Thirds so that there will be fewer birth rates on Mars, meaning the planet will have to ally with Earth, which they just did, to receive immigrants. During their time at Asakura's facility, Ross and Armitage fall in love. The next day, after Asakura deactivates Armitage so he can install angelical wings and particle cannons on her chassis, the military kills Asakura and Armitage and Ross eventually finish off the military. Months later, Ross returns to Mars, using false IDs, however Armitage throws hers away after Ross Sylibus' arrival. Ross learns that he is going to be a father.
Armitage III: Dual-Matrix[edit]
Set some years after the original plot, this film follows Naomi Armitage as she investigates a military attack on robotics plant on Earth.
It had been several years since the events of the previous OVA. Naomi Armitage and Ross Sylibus, now living under assumed identities, are living in St. Lowell on Mars, along with their daughter Yoko. Ross now works for a company seeking to restore oceans to Mars by using ice asteroids. However, a new effort to restore the Third project prompts Naomi to travel to Earth to figure out what is happening. Meanwhile, Ross saves a facility from a group of terrorists and is declared a Martian hero.
When Armitage arrives on Earth, she confronts Colonel Strings, hero of the First Error, which was a suppression of a robot uprising, which in reality, was to cover up the existence of the Thirds. But then he is shot by agents of an Earth Robotronics Corporation. Its vice president, Demetrio Mardini, asks Armitage to give the data on how Thirds can conceive so humanity can create a race of beings who exist to serve. She refuses so he resorts to force and unleashes a robot that scrambles her eyes. She manages to use her telepresence abilities to hack into its system and overload it. She then escapes but is damaged and is found by a repairer third named Mouse, who prides himself on his skill and frequently brags that he's a "genius". However, Mouse is also an informant to Demetrio and presents the data he found on Armitage; but he only got the recent data and Demetrio wants the conception data. Mouse claims that he did not know about the conception data, and also that if it existed it would be with what he gave him; but Demetrio refuses to believe either of these and tries to brutally force it with two clones of Armitage, who severely injure Mouse. He does not get anything and throws Mouse in the trash. Mouse swears revenge.
Back on Mars, prime minister Fredrick O'Hara sends Ross to Earth to represent the planet in the support of robot rights, promising amnesty from the charges against them. However, Demetrio's agents captured Yoko while Ross was away from the hotel, and is threatened that he will not see Yoko again if he votes for the Rights Bill,. With a little reluctance, Ross remains neutral on the bill. Demetrio's agents, however, reveal that they were planning on killing Ross from the start, contrary to their deal. After a car chase, Armitage is able to save him at the very last moment. Together, they vow to rescue their daughter.
They storm Demetrio's compound; Armitage deals with Demetrio while Ross saves Yoko. The same robot Armitage encountered earlier had been upgraded to withstand her telepresence attack. Meanwhile, Ross manages to locate Yoko in a freezer. Elsewhere, Demetrio demands the secret in exchange for forgetting the damages they committed against him and his company. Armitage lures him closer, presumably to tell him what he wants to know; but she ends up kicking him in the crotch and telling him that Third conception is not simply data, it is about true love. With that she escapes again, forcing Demetrio to unleash the clones on her. She manages to evade the two and meets up with Ross and Yoko. Yoko is overjoyed to see her mother but recoils when she sees Armitage's metal shoulder that was scraped off by the clones. Just then, they attack. While Armitage holds them off, Ross and Yoko make their way to an unused space elevator. It is here that Yoko shows that she has a photographic memory, leading them to the space elevator whose location she determined from a map she saw minutes beforehand (Ross comments that she is "quite the little genius"). Soon, Armitage flees to Mouse, who repairs the damage and gives her a program that will allow her to go beyond her limited fighting abilities. He tells her that the password is "Heaven's Door"; but that if she exceeds more than her internal battery can handle, she will "be knocking at the Pearly Gates for real". She also has him do her one more favor: broadcast the footage of the Third massacre attempts all over Earth and Mars (upon seeing it himself, Mouse comments, "I think it's inhuman, and I'm a robot!"). This compels Demetrio to command the clones to prevent the family from leaving. After both clones are beaten, Demetrio tries having the elevator's defenses fired on their shuttle only to be killed by the last remaining clone, who is at the time controlled by what was left of Julian Moore in Poly-Matrix. Without Demetrio's authorization, the turrets do nothing. A hologram of Julian Moore then appears, wishing the family goodbye. The movie ends with the family enjoying a day at the beach on Mars, on Naomi's birthday.
In a post-credits scene, Mouse salvages one of the Armitage clones for himself. It is then unknown what happens next in the Armitage series.
Main characters[edit]
- Naomi Armitage (ナオミ・アミテージ Naomi Amitēji?)
- Voiced by: Hiroko Kasahara (OVA), Ryoka Yuzuki (Dual-Matrix) (Japanese), Joyce Kurtz (OVA), Elizabeth Berkley (Poly-Matrix), Juliette Lewis (Dual-Matrix) (English)
- Naomi Armitage is an illegal "Third type" android—the most human-like robot ever. Armitage's creator is Dr. Asakura, whom she refers to as "papa". Armitage becomes Ross Syllabus' partner when he joins the Mars Police Department. She and Ross ultimately fall in love. Although she is simply called Armitage by most of the other characters, including Ross in Poly-Matrix, Ross mostly calls her Naomi in Dual-Matrix.
- In the text notes on the English DVD edition of Poly-Matrix, Chiaki Konaka, the script writer, says that Armitage III was influenced from H.P. Lovecraft's story The Dunwich Horror, one of Lovecraft's best known works and a key text in the Cthulhu Mythos; one of the main characters in the tale is a Dr. Armitage.
- Ross Sylibus (ロス・シリバス Rosu Shiribasu?)
- Voiced by: Yasunori Masutani (OVA), Hikaru Hanada (Dual-Matrix) (Japanese), Skip Stellrecht (OVA, Dual-Matrix), Kiefer Sutherland (Poly-Matrix) (English)
- A police officer who transferred to the Mars Police Department from Earth's Chicago Police Department after an incident with a robot that left him crippled and his partner dead. He is only able to walk using a cybernetic leg. This incident is the cause for his disdain of robots. During his assignments with Armitage, he loses his arm as well, requiring another replacement cybernetic limb to be put in place. This causes him some grief, as he is slowly becoming what he hates the most. He soon falls in love with his new partner Naomi, enough so, he becomes a renegade cop in order to help her.
- Years later, he changed his name to Kevin Oldman and lives with Armitage and their daughter, Yoko.
Supporting characters[edit]
- Dr. Asakura (アサクラ?)
- Voiced by: Shunsuke Shima (Japanese), Barry Stigler (English)
- Dr. Asakura is an artificial intelligence researcher and, along with René D'anclaude, the creator of the thirds. Naomi considers him her father. At some point in the past, Asakura's mind was altered–this causes him to appear really crazy at times and prone to violent outbursts, when at other times, he is completely sane and rational.
- Realizing that the government has tracked Armitage and Ross to his laboratory, he completes an upgrade upon Armitage's chassis, one which gives her the power of flight and two particle cannons (Naomi comments that the wings are "too angelic for my taste", but does not deny that they are useful).
- Consequently, he stays in the lab and dies among his projects after the government destroys the entire complex with a tracking missile in an effort to destroy both Armitage and Ross.
- René D'anclaude (ルネ・ダンクロード Rune Dankurōdo?)
- Voiced by: Ryusei Nakao (Japanese), Dan Woren (English)
- René D'anclaude is a doctor that worked with Dr. Asakura to create the Third types. His appearance is used for the line of "assassinroids" that were later used to destroy all the Third types, as well as a base template for their creation. After Armitage and Ross go rogue, D'anclaude is moved to a secretive section of a Mars hospital and the surrounding area is barricaded by official government tanks and droid troops. Armitage and Ross easily face this challenge and smuggle him out, having to avoid the assassinroid D'anclaude in the process.
- Julian Moore (ジュリアン・ムーア Jurian Mūa?)
- Voiced by: Megumi Ogata (OVA), Mitsuki Saiga (Dual-Matrix) (Japanese), Wanda Nowicki (OVA, Poly-Matrix), Mona Marshall (Dual-Matrix) (English)
- Julian, whose alias is "Pluto", is the last model of the Third series, and the only male. He helps Naomi discover her true identity and her origin. An adept hacker, Julian attempts to help Armitage by delving into the files surrounding the creation of the Thirds. His attempt however, is hijacked by the D'anclaude assassinroid who controlled him via a planted computer virus. Armitage destroys the viral link, but it also causes Julian's body to self destruct. His last words to her is that maybe he'll get to meet the "real" D'anclaude.
- Sometime after his death, Armitage mourns his loss until Ross reminds her that Julian had backed up his programming into the main registry. Therefore, it might be possible to bring him back. He returns in Dual-Matrix, but only as a ghost program in the systems. He does provide information and remote control aid to Armitage.
- Larry Randolph (ラリー・ランドルフ Rarī Randorufu?)
- Voiced by: Masaharu Satou (Japanese), Ed Mannix (OVA), Michael Reynolds (Poly-Matrix) (English)
- Randolph is the lieutenant of the Martian Police and head of the Technical Criminal SWAT division. He provides indiscriminate advice and opinions to those under him, as well as observations. Although he cannot do a thing to help Armitage and Ross through official channels, he does give them a well-deserved pep talk–signing off surrounded by all of their comrades within the squad.
- Demetrio Mardini (デミトリオ・マルディーニ Demitorio Marudīni?)
- Voiced by: Kazuhiro Yamaji (Japanese), Michael McConnohie (English)
- Mardini is the vice president of an Earth Robotics Corporation and an admirer of Dr. Asakura's work. The antagonist of Dual-Matrix, he attempts to recreate his idol's work on Thirds, but his clones are unable to give birth to humans. Due to the declining birth rate on Mars, Demetrio plans to create human labor forces that never complain, soldiers who aren't afraid of dying, and increase the human population. He finds out that the original Armitage is still alive and tries to capture her to learn her reproduction secrets. He also blackmails Ross into not voting for the Robotic Rights Bill by holding Yoko hostage. He is subsequently killed by his own clone (controlled by Julian), when Armitage and her family make their escape.
Other characters[edit]
- Eddie Barrows (エディー・バローズ Edī Barōzu?)
- Voiced by: Hirohiko Kakegawa (OVA) (Japanese), Bryan Cranston (OVA, Poly-Matrix) (English)
- Ross' wisecracking colleague in the Martian Police Department. He assists Ross throughout the events of Poly-Matrix, but in the end "squeals" on Ross to Randolph following the assault on the hospital.
- Chris Brown (クリス・ブラウン Kurisu Buraun?)
- Voiced by: Notobushi Hayashi (Japanese), Stephen Apostolina (OVA, Poly-Matrix) (English)
- Lowell Gantz (ローウェル・ガンツ Rōueru Gantsu?)
- Voiced by: Wataru Takagi (Japanese), Doug Stone (OVA) (English)
- Eugene H. Allen (ユージン・H・アレン Yūjin Eichi Aren?)
- Voiced by: Hideyuki Tanaka (Japanese), Sam Strong (OVA) (English)
- Yoko (ヨーコ Yōko?)
- Voiced by: Yuka Imai (Japanese), Rebecca Forstadt (English)
- Ross and Armitage's biological daughter, who has a photographic memory. As far as Demetrio can tell, she is pure human.
- Mouse (修理屋マウス Mausu?)
- Voiced by: Takumi Yamazaki (Japanese), Ahmed Best (English)
- A third who assists Armitage's repairs.
- Fredrick O'Hara (フレデリック・オハラ Furederikku Ohara?)
- O'Hara is the chairman of the Mars Foundation. He sends Ross, under the alias of Kevin Oldman, to Earth to vote in favor of the Robotic Rights Bill, promising amnesty for his and Armitage's previous crime. He strongly believes that giving robots' rights will be beneficial to the future of humanity.

Helen McCarthy in 500 Essential Anime Movies claims that the image quality of Armitage III: Poly-Matrix "isn't up to big screen standards, though it still holds well on home screens". She praises the design and scripts, while saying that the "basic plot is simply a retelling of Pinocchio - the toy that wants to be real, or, in science fiction terms, the robot yearning for love and acceptance as a person, not just a product".[1]

PCWA experienced a 30% cut in one of its primary water sources earlier this year and subsequently asked customers to reduce their water use by 10 percent, with 20 percent as a desired goal for the duration of the drought. Through June, PCWA customers have successfully reduced their water use by 16 percent compared to a similar time in 2013. Customers have taken extra steps to reduce their long-term water use by converting existing lawns to low water use landscaping, installing water-efficient irrigation systems and high efficiency appliances. Your response and assistance are very much appreciated. Unfortunately, we are facing extremely serious drought conditions in California and as a result, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted statewide emergency conservation regulations requiring local agencies to implement water restrictions. The State restrictions as well as PCWA's water use guidelines, links to other drought news and water saving information and resources can be found below. Achieving reductions in water use will help ensure that there is an adequate supply of water for this year and into 2015 if drought conditions persist. |

Wenger considering Robin risk - Report
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may take a risk on Robin van Persie in Wednesday's north London derby clash at Tottenham. Reports in the Daily Mail claim that the Dutchman is close to fitness after missing five months of the season with ruptured ankle ligaments. The Gunners are without Andrey Arshavin and Cesc Fabregas, and van Persie's goalscoring potential could be vital in the Premier League run-in. He has apparently been training with the first team and has a chance of playing in Wednesday's must-win Premier League game at White Hart Lane, which could also see the return of Alex Song.

The "Free Beer" Hangover
A couple of days ago, I talked about Yahoo's warning messages saying my system (Linux) had not been tested with their mail program and that resulted in a very impassioned plea to help a group of Yahoo Groups users to protest the changes that Yahoo has apparently made to the way Yahoo Groups work.
Changes to the way mailing lists work are nothing new. I am a member of several Yahoo Groups. But I am also a member of a number of Google Groups and a mess of mailing lists running on Mailman. While reading the complaint, I had two thoughts.
First, I was reminded of comments made by Stormy Peters at LinuxCon this year. She was talking about Facebook and Google and by implication Yahoo, when asking us if we were aware of all the things that these services provide and the licenses, for lack of a better word, that they provide them under. She pointed out that they are essentially offering free beer and we, as users are drinking it up without any thought of the costs afterwards. And as the folks decrying the changes in Yahoo's Groups are discovering, some of those costs are pretty high.
But the other thing that came to mind is so what? While trying not to sound callous about this issue, really, who cares? If you do not like what Yahoo is doing, go somewhere else. There are literally dozens of hosted applications that will allow you to grow the community you want. And if you are willing to put down a few bucks, you can actually gain control of all those things that you feel are important to you. Moving mailing lists is not a trivial issue. Nor is moving the associated collection of data that these communities create. I know. I have moved my share of mailing lists and it is a task I dread.
Yet I have to wonder if the users of these sites really understand the key issue. And that issue is eyeballs. Nothing more. Every company that offers these services is only out to drive people to their site so that they can tout their numbers to their advertisers. More eyeballs, the higher they can charge people who want to advertise on their site. Stir up a little controversy and it is like having an Emmy winning show running during sweeps week. And they know that the controversy will eventually go away and they might lose a few people, but those people will be replaced by others. Facebook is a perfect example of this. They changed their privacy settings, a furore erupted and they actually gained members, despite having to make some minor concessions for their Canadian users under the rule of the Canadian Privacy Commissioner.
It is a case of caveat emptor.

I guess no one cares about
I guess no one cares about freedom.
As I always tell people when
As I always tell people when they tell me, how Linux, or any other FOSS is great/crap because it's free, "It's only free if you don't value your(my) time".
I make this argument, not because I'm anti-Linux or FOSS, the opposite in fact, Linux and FOSS is how I earn my living. I do it so that they start to think and see the real costs of Technology, and then I prove to them that if they use Linux, and FOSS wisely (and actually invest money into it) they'll get better results AND still be cheaper than most proprietary solutions.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch (or for that matter beer)
As I always tell people when (2)
As I always tell people when they tell me, a pirated Windows is only free if you don't value your time.
migrating should be a last resort
So what indeed? There is always a cost to migration, and if we don't try to get vendors to give us customers what we want, then they won't ever try. And yes we are customers even of free services, because they profit from us. Not directly, but they still make money off of us. Migration is a last resort; at the very least we should tell them why we are happy or unhappy with the service.That's how free enterprise works, which is something that people are forgetting in this fun era of suck-it-up-buttercup vendor-controlled markets, and apathetic customers.
Who cares
Really a free service changes something and all they can do is complain. Suck it up whiners...!
It's not completely free. In
It's not completely free. In exchange for the services we get from Web2.0 services, we agree to be subject to masses of their advertising. Be receipt to advertising is a legit form of currency on the net and it's unfair to say that because it is not cash, doesn't refute people's right to complain or have an opinion.
worst post ever
Moving a yahoo group to a different place, after it has grown a bunch of members is to kill the group.
A tough sell to convince 1000 people to register somewhere else.
Vendor lock-in, anyone?
So the open source community fights vendor lock-in on software, but should accept it (according to you) for mailing list services, because breaking away is "a tough sell"?
On the contrary
Did you read the same article I did?
If you're using a free service which is NOT open, it's completely disingenuous to whine later if that service changes.
That's what I read. I have to say I agree completely with the anti-whiner sentiment.
Same old, same old
As the old politician once said, "There's only one thing worst than bad publicity. You ain't nobody unless somebody is talking about you."
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
