What a profitable and rather easy job: blogging about how sexist, women objectifying misogynist a CEO is. If it's not the CEO then it's a manager. Or an employee. Or a contractor. Or a subcontractor. From US. Or from Europe. Or maybe there is not enough diversity. "Somewhere sometime a woman is a victim and if you are a man you should feel guilty because someone else did something wrong !" How many years will continue this immorally idiotic campaign ?
Re:The Move from Linux to FreeBSD on Sunday November 16, 2014 @04:34AM (#8613810)
While I respect other people's option for FreeBSD (I tried it several times), in my ~3 years experience using Ubuntu Unity (from 11.04-14.10) I never had low memory or unreasonable swapping (swap is zero 99% of the time I check). My laptop has 3GB of RAM and I was always impressed with how little memory my usual session (1-5 apps + Firefox/Chrome with 5-10 open tabs max) consumed compared to windows: the average memory load was around 33% of the 2.7GB available = ~1GB. For some time I was using virtualbox with 1.5GB RAM allocated to it and I still didn't use all the RAM available and the swapping was minimal if not 0. My conclusion: I'm highly sceptical that Linux memory management is bad enough to justify giving up the ease of installation and the minimal configuration & tweaking Ubuntu needs after install.

OK, it seems that guys from cities want to see country sides more often and the guys from country side want to see cities and people. I guess the randomization engine should be biased to use the location of the user & serve him what he does not see very often.
