How do I remove the battery from my laptop computer?
All laptops are different, however, they usually share the same similarities when removing the main battery. In the picture is just a few examples of some of the laptop battery latches that may be on the bottom of your laptop.
To remove the battery slide this switch to the opposite side and hold it in that position until the battery is removed. When doing this with some laptops the battery will pop out and allow you to grab onto it. Others will release the latch and require you to grab onto the battery usually with the tips of your fingers and pull it out.
Other situations
Although most laptops only have one latch to remove the battery there are also some laptops that require you to slide two latches in order to remove the battery. For these laptops the latches will still look similar to the above examples but require you to move both at the same time, usually towards each other.
Finally, there are also some older laptops (IBM laptops) that requires the latch to be pulled out and then pushed towards the battery to remove it.

text: Sorkin's 'Newsroom' Premieres To Disappointing Ratings Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 26 Jun 2012 post a comment With all the hype and publicity, there's no way to spin 2.1 million viewers into anything other than a disappointment. As Deadline points out, "Newsroom" did better than "Luck" and "Treme," which both premiered to 1.1 million viewers, but less than "Game of Thrones," which premiered to 2.1 million and way less than "Boardwalk Empire" which landed 4.8 million. When you consider the star and brand power of creator Aaron Sorkin, this should've been closer to a "Boardwalk Empire" type triumph. Reviews, though, especially from the very same elite media types "Newsroom" is eager to influence with its message that bias is a good thing, have been mostly embarrassing. Sorkin has the talent to fix the show's problems and HBO would be smart to give him the time. But will viewers hang in to see if things improve? Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Chokai was a Takao-class heavy cruiser, armed with ten 8-inch (200 mm) guns, four 4.7-inch (120 mm) guns, eight tubes for the Type 93 torpedo, and assorted anti-aircraft guns. Chōkai was designed with the Imperial Japanese Navy strategy of the great "Decisive Battle" in mind, and built in 1932 by Mitsubishi's shipyard in Nagasaki. She was sunk in the Battle off Samar in October 1944. Chōkai was named for Mount Chōkai.
At the start of the Pacific War, the Chōkai supported the invasion of Malaya and participated in the pursuit of the Royal Navy's battleship Force Z. During January and February 1942, the Chōkai was involved in operations to seize the oil-rich Dutch East Indies and the island of Borneo. Steaming near Cape St. Jacques, the Chōkai struck a reef, sustaining hull damage on February 22nd, 1942. On the 27th, she reached Singapore for repairs.
After repairs, the Chōkai was once again assigned to a support role in an invasion, this time the landings at Iri, Sumatra, and the invasion of the Andaman Islands and the seizure of Port Blair a few days later. Afterwards, the Chōkai sailed to Mergui, Burma.
On April 1, 1942, the Chōkai left Mergui to participate in Operation C, a raid on merchant shipping in the Indian Ocean. First, the Chōkai torpedoed and sank the American freighter Bienville, and later on, the British steamship Ganges on 6 April. With her role in the operation successfully concluded, the Chōkai returned to Yokosuka on April 22nd, 1942.
Shown here is a 1:1100 scale replica of the Imperial Japanese Navy heavy cruiser Chokai.

Historical Account: "Floating Pagodas" - The Yamato class battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) were the largest naval vessels of World War II and were the largest, heaviest battleships ever constructed, displacing 65,027 metric tons and armed with nine 46 cm main guns.
Like their German counterparts, Bismarck and Tirpitz, Yamato and Musashi made little direct impact during the war. Neither engaged any Allied battleships during the war, and were instead both sunk by the bane of capital warships: overwhelming air power.
Musashi was sunk by repeated aerial attack during the Battle of Leyte Gulf on October 24th, 1944. After being hit by an estimated 17 torpedoes and 20 bombs, she went down with 1,700 of her 2,400 man crew.
The end of the Yamato was even less glorious. Having seen little action during the previous four years (She served as Yamamoto's flagship during the Midway operation, as well as the action off Samar on October 25th, 1944) she was sent on a virtual suicide mission against the U.S. Navy forces massing for the attack on Okinawa. On April 7th, 1945 she was hit by successive waves of US carrier based aircraft and sank after absorbing 5 - 10 bombs and at least 10 torpedo hits. Less than 300 out of 3,400 crew onboard survived.

- Disappointeddreamer99Dined on 10/18/2014I have been to the Empress many times and this time, I was thoroughly disappointed. The sandwiches were bland. The top two tiers were lacking in food. I was still hungry afterwards. There was too much tea leaves inside my teapot. It became bitter quickly. The silver teapot aesthetically was a beautiful idea but the handle almost burnt my hand.Special Features:
- Great service and outstanding viewDivineT42Dined on 10/11/2014What an amazing experience for my daughters birthday.She enjoyed every minute.The only disappointment was the gluten free choices were not very good.

Most ordered the House blend tea. It was pretty good. A 3 tier serving tower for 2 is how you receive your lunch. (4 orders=2 towers) small eaters in our group. Basically you get scones, Devonshire cream & jam to start. The tea comes loose in individual pots.....careful, they are silver and are very hot to touch. Use your napkin! Each 'order' has about 5 sm sandwich bites & 5 sm desserts. Ok only. Bread dry on chicken salad & egg salad 'sandwiches'. Once was enough !Special Features:

The waitress was very knowledgable, friendly and made the High Tea a great experience. The manager came over to address my question if I could buy a teapot and was so gracious. The added touch of the champagne and plate of sweets with Happy Birthday written on it was very nice. I would definitely recommend it and will do it again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ladies Afternoon TeaDeliciousDinerVIPDined on 10/4/2014My friends and I planned a special day to celebrate our friends engagement with this delightful tea. The scones were absolutely delightful, the towers were delicious, and the server was very accommodating for our vegetarian friend. Once service started, we felt like royalty and would definitely come back. The downside, we had to wait 20 minutes after being seated to see our server to order any tea or champagne, and I had specified in the reservation that this was a special event, and our table was not in line with the beautiful view that is offered during the tea, and when requested to move to an empty table by the window, we were told it was reserved, and after our two hour tea was over, we had not seen one person take that table.Special Features:
- Afternoon TeaTandTDined on 9/28/2014An excellent spot for afternoon tea for a special occasion. Great view of Tunnel Mountain & Bow River. The tea was very good, we had the orange pekoe, as were the sandwiches and pastries. The scones can't compare with a Devonshire Cream Tea but then double cream is hard to find in Canada.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing afternoonRcG7VIPDined on 9/27/2014The high tea at the Banff Springs Hotel should be on your list of must do when in Banff. Beautiful food, scenery and service all combined for an extremely memorable aftrnoon. Highlight of our trip!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/27/2014I booked Afternoom Tea for my friends and family celebrating my sister-in-law's visit from the UK. We had two kids under 4 and they were accomodated seemlessly. It was a lovely experience with great views, sensitive ambiance and delicious food. The service can hardly be matched by any other location providing Afternoon Tea. I continue to make the Banff Springs my preferred choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- afternoon tea Banff Springs HotelOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/22/2014We had a wonderful experience having afternoon tea in the Rundle Lounge. Our server was efficient, very knowledgeable and attentive. The teas that we chose were excellent and the sandwiches had wonderful flavors. Most of the sweets were good however I found a few that were "over the top" sweet. We stayed for 2 hours and did not feel rushed. That made it so relaxing. I would love to come again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fabulous views with afternoon teaCazfoodieDined on 9/7/2014Tea begins with explanation of tea and then fruit to cleanse your palate. You start with sweet and savoury scone, butter, jam and cream. Then savoury sandwiches, egg mayonnaise, chicken, roasted vegetables, smoked salmon and tomatoe and mozzarella. They were served on different breads, croissant, ciabatta and some were open. The pastries were varied, macaroons vanilla and banana, mini key limes and tiny madeleines. The top of the cake stand was topped with chocolate topped brownies and tiny strawberry cheese cakes. All the food is served on china plates, with silver cutlery and silver antique tea pots, sugar basins. Interestingly the sugar lumps came with a spoon and not the customary tongs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Gift for friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014Recently I purchased a gift of afternoon tea for my friends. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience however at the end of the meal they were presented with the bill which I had asked not to have happen. The meal and reservation had been purchased online and paid in full prior to their seating. I was so disappointed when they texted me after a pleasant time to say there was confusion about the bill and should they pay. MOST embarrassing for them and myself. In future I would ask that these 'little' details be considered very important and every consideration be made to not have this happen again. We love the BSH afternoon tea and look forward to many more despite this hiccup. Thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Rundle Afternoon TeaMichelinstarDined on 8/21/2014We booked in advance but were surprised to get a prime table at the window looking down the valley. This was indeed a prime position as other tables were further back. The service was exceptional and when asked about dietary requirements and I mentioned I was diabetic but not to take any trouble they insisted on preparing from scratch some sugar free fancies. I didn't want them to go to this trouble but they insisted and then apologized for the delay. We were treated really well and if that reflects the service of the hotel as a whole I would wholly recommend staying there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Disappointingluv2eatDined on 7/4/2014Waited for this experience but left dissapointed with both food and service. Staff tried but overall not interested or displayed passion for their work. First impression was different with a red stain in centre of table cloth and a hole in the cloth at my place setting. One waiter noticed the stain after we had been served our starter and did offer to change but I thought was too late at this time as table was set to start. Was not served part of the starter course and cut sandwiches were dry on the outside with the beginning of curled edges. Once the staff filled the water glass it was an effort to have them back for a refill. Not at all what we expected the Fairmont to be like.Special Features:

Posted: Friday, March 15, 2013 -- 4:40 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin's securities agency is warning consumers about an investment scheme in which investors are instructed to wire money to Eastern Europe.
State officials say a Birmingham, England-based company doing business as Profitable Sunrise is promising investors risk-free daily returns of 1.6 percent to 2.7 percent for 180 to 240 days.
Department of Financial Institutions securities administrator Patricia Struck says the company's activities could be viewed as selling unregistered securities, which is illegal in Wisconsin.
Investors in other states were told their money would be used to fund short-term loans to businesses and that all funds were insured against losses. Investors were instructed to wire money to financial institutions in Eastern Europe. Struck said that securities officials in North Carolina and South Dakota have issued cease-and-desist orders against Profitable Sunrise.

Almost 5 year old & sharing
I've got a nearly 5 yo DS, and a nearly 2 yo dd. I recently started watching another little boy who is almost 4. We watch him 1-3 days a week for about 8 hours each time.
My DS is super spunky and a lot of fun, but has a really difficult time sharing. The other little boy is generally more passive and "whiney" (I wish I could find a better word for it, that sounds rude to me to call someone else's kid whiney). They fight over toys every.single.day.
I know it's a character issue he has to work through (and its a developmental thing), and kind of a given, and something i need to teach/walk them through and discipline as necessary. I feel pretty confident/comfortable with my approach to handling it in a case by case basis. But, the stress from their fighting seems to be making my son act out with serious back talk, sassiness, and general disrespect toward me. My son has been telling me that he hates this other kid and doesn't want him to come over anymore.
It's a temporary situation - I'm only watching the boy until his mom has another baby in May, then she has other plans for childcare.
Any tips on how to get my kiddo through the next several weeks? I'd love some tips for how to encourage them to share and get along, and how to help my son grow in his own need to share and be gracious (which is a tall order for a 5 yo), while also respecting his needs.

Re: Almost 5 year old & sharing
Sharing his mom with a strange kid is probably harder than sharing toys. Quality time should help the disrespect, along with some constant reassurance that the new kid isnt taking his place
To work on the toys, I'd let him pick out a handful he doesn't have to share, period. And then let him know the rest are community toys and if he can't share them, he can't play with them.

Re: Almost 5 year old & sharing
Does your ds know this is a temporary thing? Maybe talking to him about how hard it can be to share your toys, your home, your mom, your space, etc, but that wont be much longer that this boy is here to play with him, so even though its hard, he might as well try to enjoy having a friend his own age while he's there.
Maybe allowing him to go off on his own if he needs to will help? Have somewhere, like your room, where he can go if he needs to be alone for a few minutes and regroup.

I'd probably say he's a guest in our house, and he deserves our kindness. Perhaps discuss positive points at dinner and model kindness. Definitely say that while it's temporary this little boy will always be welcome and good manners is a must. You never know, you might end up with him again from time to time. I wouldn't employ bribes or anything like that because while the situation is temporary the lesson needs to last.

You haven't heard? I'm sorry... My condolences, but the writing had been on the wall for a while though. Netcraft even confirmed it years ago...
*BSD is dying.
This is a general problem with devices that are "paired". How do you securely establish the initial connection, when neither side knows anything about the other?
The problem isn't the initial connection really. Sure, there's an attack window there, but if it weren't for the actual problem it wouldn't have been as easily exploitable as it appears to be. The problem is that it is trivial once the Chromecast is connected to the WLAN to force it to reconfigure.
The Youtube video of his presentation (no transcript, sorry, go listen to it in the background while doing something else) makes it clear that it's trivially simple to get the device looking for a suitable partner again. If I understand it correctly the attacker sends one (or several) deauth frame(s) to the network and within 5 seconds the Chromecast will start looking for a new network at which point the attacker can take over control of the device.
The thing is, this was a userfriendly feature for when you're using your Chromecast device on other networks. If the developers had required a physical button press (on that nice reset button would've been fine), the attack window would've been just during the pairing, which is a much smaller attack window. While it doesn't take away the pairing issues you mentioned, but the beauty of this attack really lies in how easy it is to make Chromecast hop onto another network.
Semi-secure systems involve things like creating a short period of temporary vulnerability (as with Bluetooth pairing).
Which is the case as far as I understand it. The chromecast is vulnerable until it is configured. The attack just makes reconfiguration trivial because there's no physical intervention required.
The promise of having virgin subordinates in the afterlife is not a traditional Islamic belief.
Oh, are you one of those people who reads the Onion and is outraged at how factually incorrect their articles are? I'm sorry... For the record, I don't think there's a JihadBot 3000 prototype either. So don't spread that as truth either...
Even suicide bombers are being rendered useless.
It's a matter of cost-cutting. Those virgins every holy warrior gets in the end cost a lot of money and aren't really contributing much to the cause themselves. The holy warriors themselves could unionize, but their union membership is rather short lived by nature. Aside from the membership problems, what exactly would they do? Threaten to blow themselves up? I'd explain into detail on the soon to be introduced JihadBot 3000, but the projects development costs have gone through the roof, and the prototypes have all blown up for some reason.
Pardon my stereotyping...
today's rising star could quite easily be in tomorrow's dustbin
Well, at some point Perl was a rising star...
No matter what you're going to pick, it won't stand the test of time in the end.
Kidding aside, look for a set of qualities in whatever language/framework you want to use:
I know that it's probably generic bullshit you're getting from me, but you're going to get a thousand answers all screaming at once "Pyramid" "Django" "CakePHP" "CodeIgniter" and what not and unless you take a look at the languages and frameworks and see what people are / have been building with it you'll be none the wiser. Pick something you see yourself maintaining without pulling out all of your hair in the next couple of years.
I moderated in this article, but this is something that I'd like to talk about for a bit, even if only anecdotal...
Perl 5 is still charging full steam ahead in every sysadmin group I've been around. I know there are python advocates out there, but I have only encountered ONE major IT shop that is completely (or nearly so) python driven (and it happens to be Guido's employer -- hardly a good example)
Over the past 8 years my own usage of Perl in writing code has declined to zero. There has been a mentality change over the years in the shop I work in, and where we used to grab for Perl by default as a quick'n'dirty duct-tape & MacGuyver language, we now exclusively rely on Python. I think there are several reasons for this shift.
The most prominent one to me personally is that other languages have adopted CPAN-like repositories. I don't know about the statistics of numbers of modules, active development, number of commits, etc etc, and put bluntly I really don't care. Although these statistics are interesting into disseminating how active a language is to its developers, to me as a user of the language it only matters if a module is maintained and does what its supposed to do. The thing is, for most of the things I used to use Perl modules for, I now use Python modules, and can say "Well, it's good enough".
Our development teams composition has also changed. A lot of our older generation of programmers/admins have retired or switched jobs, and a lot of younger people were hired to replace them. The younger generation is definitely more familiar with Python, Ruby and other scripting languages than it is with Perl. The incentive for learning Perl has become a lot smaller. Perl was the de facto language for many when writing a CGI script, but then RoR and AJAX happened. While over time Perl adapted (think Catalyst and Dancer) other languages have adapted as well. Look at all the wsgi applications and frameworks in Python.
Our investment in Perl itself was more of the kind where we used a set of scripts to change data from format A to B at which point our Java and/or C++ code takes over, or some tools to deal with our logs, etc. The switch to Python for these tools was gradual (but quick) process, and we found ourselves not looking back. I can't really say that we were/are heavily invested in Perl or Python, but for day to day usage Python has completely taken over. Who knows where we end up in another 8 years from now?
Lastly, if you were to go around our shop, asking people what's new about Python 3 you'll get pretty much right answers. If you go around our shop asking people what's happening with Perl 6, you will get a blank stare. I remember clearly how Perl 6 was going to become the best thing since butter on toast,
Perl has only been dominant in the sysadmin space for less than 15 years
I don't doubt that Perl will be around for a whole lot longer. It has assembled a group of dedicated die-hard users and developers over the years, and in general it has a great community. There are older, more horrible languages that are still alive today, so I doubt Perl will be gone anytime soon.
However, while my entire post is anecdotal, I do think the Perl community is deluding itself a bit. The talk in the video (I actually listened to it in the background while working on something) mentions a lot of statistics that are interesting to the Perl developers and maintainers, but are hardly and indicator of usage or adoption. The more interesting part of the statistical talk was about the general decline of jobs available for scripting languages in favor of newer technologies, but even those statistics in general don't speak much about usage and adoption.
FWIW, may Perl be around a long long time. Having more tools at your disposal is never a bad thing.
So how would you redesign this aspect of the user interface of, say, the GNU Image Manipulation Program?
Please, let's not mention Gimp and UI in the same sentence unless you're looking for an internet fight.
At the request of the international community they'll stop sticking harpoons in whales, but the request didn't mention anything about nuking the whales.
I was more thinking about starting postgres before the server that uses that DB to store its stuff.
Allow to go off on a tangent here, but most of the setups I deal with keep databases and webservers on separate machines. Today we've got virtual machines coming out of our collective asses so even developers start separating their services from each other. What you're talking about is dependencies and how to deal with failure of a service. That goes far beyond the scope of what systemd can provide, since it's so cheap and easy to run stuff on different (virtual) machines these days. However, I realize that you're using this as an example, so I won't really press on the matter other than that this is the poorest example you can choose.
But it does speak to part of the problem. All I continuously hear about systemd as the greatest advantage is solving the "complex boot order" dependency problem, parallelizing boot scripts and decreasing boot-time. To me, as a sysadmin: I DON'T care. I'm pretty sure that 90% of the servers I have running take a longer time in POST than they do in booting. If I reboot something, I'm taking it OFFLINE. I'm not sitting there crossing my fingers "Please come up quickly", but I've got a failover setup and another machine has taken over before the server is rebooting. And "complex boot order" really? Is that really that big of a concern? I really hope you don't have to manage 500+ servers then, because you'll be in for a surprise on complexity.
This brings me to interesting questions that I hear nobody talk about. If you're doing failover type of things, you're bound to end up with heartbeat/corosync/... + pacemaker & co. As a sysadmin, for me those things are extremely important. Last time I checked (and granted, that was a while ago), none of these actually had a proper way to deal with the impact of systemd. I'm sure that the people behind the various failover solutions are working on it, but last time I checked I saw very little in official documentation, and only the occasional headscratching on mailinglists.
To me, systemd presents quite the challenge, with consequences even outside of the technical side of things. For a while I'm going to end up in a mixed environment, forced to write two sets of operational procedures, disaster recovery scenarios, etc etc. I'm going to have to retrain people on how to read system logs, have to deal with systemd's quircks (no offence, all software has its peculiarities, and so will systemd), and will probably have to completely rethink how we do failover scenarios. And all I gain, what I'm really interested in is... cgroups...
Projectors, usb disks and sticks, whatever
Why would you want to convert rich information into a string and shove it down a pipe before you make use of it?
I think I know the answer to that question. Some environments need to archive their logs, for a long long time. Some things are more complex than a "simple" local syslog setup, and with that complexity comes a set of tools that often organically grows over the years or follows certain administrative procedures inside a company. In such environments, change is a difficult process, not because of people but because of corporate inertia and red tape bullshit. And it's great that systemd provides a syslog fallback for us text-junkies, at the very least it buys time...
The other side of the medal however is, nobody is really having a problem with text logfiles. The examples I continuously see are so contrived, or focussed on "the linux newbie" that it just reeks of a developer looking for something to do. My biggest frustration with logging on unix isn't "I don't know where to look" or "I don't know what to look for", but "This logmessage is meaningless without several Google queries". Any person who knows about
So please enlighten me: How do you kill apache with all the php/ruby/whatnot crap it directly or indirectly spawned? With systemd it is just one convenient systemctl stop apache
service apache stop. And when all else fails : kill -KILL
Don't get me wrong, but if you've got rails or pyramid, django stuff you should either be using the correct apache modules, or documenting how the two communicate with eachother (like with fcgi or some proxy solution or whatever). If I stop apache, I expect apache to stop. If apache is spawning stuff it's not supposed to, I get off my chair and walk over to the developer that wrote crappy code, or poorly documented how to start and stop his stuff and find a way to fix it. If it becomes the default behaviour of your apache deployment, clearly it's nowhere NEAR production ready.
Having said that, sure stuff goes wrong. I'm well aware of that, on a daily basis. But I've never been unable to solve these kinds of small issues before. There are bigger issues that haunt me than process management, and systemd isn't going to help me with those. If process management on a single machine is a sysadmins worst concern, I fear for his career in a real environment.
Most are a real improvement over the existing tools to manage hostname/date/time/timezone/locale/service/network/efi boot loader/virtual machine/whatnot. At the very least they are way more consistent in how they work and they work on all modern Linux distros in the same way. That was never possible before.
Give it some time. Let the distributions do fun and neat things by wrapping systemd's tools with their own scripts and you'll have the same fragmentation that you have now. This is like that story where there are 10 standards, and a guy says "I'm making a standard that unifies all these standards!". Result: you now have 11 standards. Again, don't get me wrong, I like the idea of having a standard way of doing things, but there have been so many efforts in that regard, without all too much success, or relatively quickly heading into different directions.
Linux in the end doesn't have a single set of developers, but hundreds of distributions, each with their own developers, each with their own collective ideas, so it's guaranteed to happen.
everybody will be using systemd (including gentoo and slackware)
I haven't used slackware in ages, but I think you're underestimating their core audience and developers, and their resilience to change they deem unnecessary.
Finally, I'd like to make a couple of remarks in general about this whole topic. I hardly ever comment on systemd, and since I've written all of this I might as well add that.
First of all, I'll admit, I'm actually really interested in it. I haven't had the time to play with it, break it, customize it, and do my thing with it, but I definitely aim to do so relatively soonish. To say the very least, it is an ambitious project and it certainly is making waves. However, I am somewhat concerned with the scope of systemd far outgrowing what seems to me to be reasonable for an init system. These discussions have been going on for a while now, and my concerns aren't being reassured by the arguments in favor of it, simply because I have no need for these features or find them to be non-issues in my use of Linux.
For me professionally, I'll have to deal with it at some point in the future, so it's one of those things where I'll (albeit somewhat grudgingly) adapt. I do however think that when the major distributions have released their new systemd based versions, what you're seeing today will only be a fraction of the criticism the project will have to deal with. People are averse to change, especially if it's change for something they've been used to for years. If systemd breaks in unexpected and interesting/fun ways, I expect quite a bit of backlash. If systemd should fail hard, I kind of fear for the consequences. The feedback I'm seeing from a lot of Fedora users is not the most flattering either, although I suppose some of it is blatant trolling.
I've seen sysvinit replacements come and go, including such wonderful examples as DJBs attempt at reinventing the wheel, which had the wonderful side effect of making sysadmins having an unexplainable urge to bang their heads against a wall at random intervals. Each had their set of problems, imperfections and fun and interesting new ways to break. While past experience shouldn't be an excuse not to try out new things, I do tend to be guided by that experience. Systemd seems like a system that is far more complex and encompassing than any of the other sysvinit replacements I've used in the past, and considering that complexity goes hand in hand with bugs and looking back at my previous experiences with sysvinit replacements, allow me to be somewhat skeptical and not the first to take the plunge in an operational environment.
But we really do take to heart the comments you've made about the look and functionality of the beta site that houses Slashdot's future look.
No you don't. You get plenty of feedback on the beta site in the initial announcement of it coming online, and for the most part the comments were ignored. Ever since the beta came online, there's been people mocking it.
Most importantly, we want you to know that Classic Slashdot isn't going away until we're confident that the new site is ready. And — okay, we've got it — it's not ready.
Saying it's not ready is the understatement of the year so far. The comment section is on fire so far, and this is actually the first time that I've seen people spend their modpoints to promote offtopic discussion of this nature on this scale.
We want to take our current content and all the stuff that matters to this community and deliver it on a site that still speaks to the interests and habits of our current audience, but that is, at the same time, more accessible and shareable by a wider audience.
What? Is this the website equivalent of "We want the Call of Duty audience" ? This statement right here, goes to show how much you're out of touch with your core audience: News for NERDS... Slashdot will never be reddit, or some fancy ITBiz magazine. Reddit already exists and won't be going anywhere, and the ITBiz audience doesn't give a shit about this place since it's just another site that scrapes headlines from other places.
The writing has been on the wall for a while now, ever since the advent of SlashBIcurious and the other nonsense you've been trying to push. Your "core audience" has been telling you this for quite a while now, but you've adamantly refused to listen, stuck your fingers in your ears and gone ahead as if nothing was wrong. And now you're surprised the comments section is ablaze?
We want to give our current audience the space where they are comfortable. And we want a platform where we can experiment with different views of both comments and stories.
Experimenting with an established platform can come at a high cost. I don't mind the changes to the layout, and I don't give a damn that you want to polish the look, but in all fairness you broke the damn commenting system. It's the only thing that keeps this place worth visiting. Beta just makes we want to look for another home.
If we haven't communicated that well enough, consider this post a first step to fixing that.
Oh fuck off... You know when people start talking about communication? It's the excuse the network engineer makes to the IT Coordinator/Manager when his network melted while users have been making tickets about problems for weeks. It's the pseudo-managers way of saying "I'm not aware of any issues" despite his mailbox being a festering pit of complaints and misery.
You communicated well enough. You communicated when the beta came online, and you get plenty of feedback which you chose to ignore. Now you've got 25% of users getting an iteration of your shitty beta, and boy oh boy is your comment section a cesspool of complaints right now. And the message you send now is obvious: "It's coming, wether you like it or not. Suck it.". Yeah, the art of communicating is not lost on you guys at all.
And in the meantime, we're not sorry to have received a flood of feedback, most of it specific, constructive and substantive.
That's like the time I heard someone from management say "In hindsight, I feel that despite the negative outcome I've made the correct choice. We'll just have to adapt and move on".
Well, guess what... We'll adapt, and move on. Enjoy turning slashdot into ITBizz2.0 or whatever pipe dream you guys at Dice have.
We're observing it some 12 million years after the fact. That hardly qualifies as "new".
Slashdot always lags behind the facts a few days, or more...
I also know, despite being a dumb amerikkkan, that none of those places are in Russia. Snowden will absolutely be captured if he appears in any of these places and would be a great fool to testify there.
I dunno, he might just use the phone, or a videoconference tool over the internet (not like he's discussing state secrets (well, not anymore really)). You might not be that dumb of an "amerikkkan", but you're not the most practical person in the US of A either. I'd urge you to become more practical before turning into an enemy of the state, should the thought ever cross your (or your governments) mind.
The former US National Security Agency worker would testify by interactive video link from Russia, where he has been granted temporary asylum.
Right there in the article even.
Anyway, we'll see what happens. The article mentions that people are divided about having him talk, keeping US-EU relations in mind, which by itself in my opinion speaks tales about "how concerned" these people really are by the whole ordeal. In the end it remains politics, and even if most people were terribly upset they'll still shake hands and sign agreements as if there isn't a care in the world. I can see the merit of asking Snowden a few questions or clarifications, but if I understand it correctly he's already released his documents he had to share. I also vaguely remember his terms for his asylum being "not to further embarrass our American partners", and I would be extremely cautious if I were him about what those terms exactly mean. Putin may enjoy his little prank on the US, but he doesn't like it when people don't dance to his tune.
I think that if you read between the lines of all of this, the EU isn't even all that concerned about its citizens, but rather about its political and economical agenda. I wouldn't be surprised at all if many countries in the EU currently have their intelligence services cooperatively lobbying their politicians to do the very same. Hell, I would be surprised if they already haven't done such a thing on a smaller scale in the first place, considering how much some of the EU nations are investing in their own "anti-terror" efforts, although much more low profile and with considerably less impact. In reality, all nations across the globe are engaged in political and economical espionage, but it's their efficiency that you should be concerned about.
I would say this is nothing but a lot of grandstanding for political reasons, but I am a cynic when it comes to politics. Many European politicians although they emit an air of indifference when it comes to the US, are very big fans of the US as has been made obvious by the cable leaks released by wikileaks in the past. There's decades of treaties and agreements between most EU nations and the US, and few are willing to risk the long-term benefits of those.
What's surprising is that nobody here thinks this is an inherently sexist device.
In before the great bra-burning of 2014.
Recent investments will yield a slight profit.
