Okay I see what you are saying now. This is what Docker is right? (didn't see the below reply)

Correct. It is a "container" rather than virtualization. Similar, but slightly different.

I was going for this.

Upstate NY has the only LATA in America that was not a part of AT&T and as such is not regulated like the rest of the country and does not have the price and quality protections that the rest of the US enjoys.

How many times I gotta say this, completely wrong.

Beside the obvious old GTE system, there is SNET which is related to Bell and Cincinnati Bell which only had the name. Then there is tons of smaller telephone cooperatives in many different states like CoServ here in Texas within the LATA of the old Bell system.

IntraLATA is regulated at the state level. To believe that somehow they are allowed to charge 1000x more than the rest of the state and jack with lines because of "reasons" is patently ridiculous. Frontier is crazy, but they ain't that insane.

Also, Rochester is 974 LATA, covers mostly Frontier with a small smattering of Windstream and local co-ops. 585 is the area code for Rochester/Buffalo, completely different thing. Buffalo is 140 LATA, with Verizon providing the majority of POTS.

So they did. I had not seen any talk or mention of it anywhere.

You probably need to do something. Safe to assume that your data is compromised.

I'll keep an eye on my account, as I always do, but there isn't much else I can do. If my data was in the breach, nothing I can personally do about it.

Confirmed in 8.0 and 8.0.2. this is quite a crappy change. I really hope it is a bug and not a new feature

@scottalanmiller I've never heard them recommend antivirus products though, it's mostly just things that parents can do to protect their kids while online.

That's a little better. Same issue, lower threshold.

Unfortunately there have been a lot of pervs in the area over the past few years, and their numbers are growing. Parents get scared, some do their own research, some don't. That's why the PD gets involved and tries to remind people to be parents and try to watch for these things, and become educated.

My feeling is that Windows 10 (which does not make me happy as a name) will likely be a make it or break it moment for Windows. Mac OSX and Linux are taking Windows to task big time but people are mostly playing a waiting game to see what Microsoft will do with their upcoming release. They are giving them a chance to course correct now that Ballmer is out on his ear. Can Microsoft turn things around with someone new at the helm? Or will they continue to steer into the iceberg?

Windows 10 appears to be well situated to have a good recovery trajectory for Microsoft. But we will just have to wait and see. If they botch this like they did with Windows 8, they are going to lose market share very quickly. I think that they have to make this work.

Surprisingly I have not seen anyone talking about Storm previously. It appears to be primarily a replacement for MapReduce and can be used on top of Hadoop which is pretty awesome.

Good point. A little news feed goes a low way, especially if it can be cached and re-hosted inside the country in question.

Java has turned into a great server side product but a pretty pathetic client side one.

That Android uses Java as its programming platform is pretty surprising.

I'm glad to hear of any large group giving LibreOffice or OpenOffice a try. We need more variety and choice.

I haven't had any crashes with the browser, but I am also using Foxit reader. I actually forgot that I was using 64bit until I saw this thread was updated. Oh, and Chrome is my default browser.

Has nothing to do with the PDF viewer you have installed. I tested with fox it, Adobe, and only the built in windows 8 reader. Chrome uses an internal pdf viewer to display them inline. After displaying one inline and closing that tab, the browser crashed. Every time.

Most of the Linux distros have switched up MySQL or MariaDB. That is where Oracle is really losing ground. People think that they are using MySQL but under the hood it is MariaDB. Slowly the MySQL marketshare is eroding.

There are many, many people int he IT community that vocally believe that open source is simply more secure because it is open source and that is simply not true.

As far as "all things being equal" is possible, I believe that this is true. The problem is is that most people then take that statement and use it to mean that "all" open source code is safer than "all" closed code even of two different projects which is completely senseless and has nothing to do with the situation.

It is if you took the same people and the same project and the same attempt over and over again one open and one closed that the open would win.

When choosing a process, you choose open for security.

Wait.. Isn't google drive already free? I've been using (barely) for some super small spreadsheets for years and never paid a dime.

I think that the thing here is that it is unlimited, not a small starter amount.
