linux windows microsoft migration FLOSS business IT management adoption t08

  • according to a report released Tuesday by the Linux Foundation in partnership with Yeoman Technology Group. With data from an invited pool of more than 1900 respondents, the survey found that 76 percent of the world's largest organizations plan to add more Linux servers over the next 12 months. By contrast, only 41 percent plan to add Windows servers, while 44 percent say they will be decreasing or maintaining the same number of Windows machines over the next year.
  • Large companies are planning to increase their reliance on Linux over the next five years
  • Looking out over five years, the difference is even more marked: A full 79 percent plan to add Linux servers over that time, while only 21 percent will add new Windows servers.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • To understand Linux trends among the world's largest companies and government organizations, Yeoman and The Linux Foundation focused in particular on responses from a subset of close to 400 respondents representing organizations with annual revenues of $500 million or more or greater than 500 employees.
  • Sixty-six percent of the planned Linux deployments mentioned by respondents are for brand-new applications or services, while 37 percent are migrations from Windows, the survey found.
  • "We are seeing more migration at Microsoft's expense than the industry analysis might lead you to believe," McPherson noted.
  • Since Linux is free, sales-linked estimates tend to underestimate its adoption considerably.
  • this survey involves some sample bias
  • the data isn't tied to server sales the way so much industry data is
  • a full 60 percent of respondents said they're planning to use Linux for more mission-critical workloads than they have in the past
  • Lack of vendor lock-in and openness of the code were other frequently cited drivers
  • long-term viability of the platform
  • choice of software and hardware
  • n cloud contexts, meanwhile, Linux led far and away, with 70 percent naming it as their primary platform, compared with 18 percent citing Windows and 11 citing Unix

FLOSS security linux t08 android iOS iphone quality

shared by Marc Lijour on 24 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • There's no reason to believe that Apple's iPhone iOS is better or worse than Android from a security perspective - at least from the perspective of openness. There may be more fundamental architectural issues to distinguish the platforms but (again) they both have Unix-like heritage, so they both start from a good place.
  • Security quality is disjoint from openness. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is clearly and famously not less secure than closed / proprietary software - but neither is FOSS necessarily more secure than proprietary.

How to Make Wealth - 0 views

wealth entrepreneurship howto essay career

shared by hpmaxi - on 08 Mar 10 - Cached
  • Startups usually involve technology, so much so that the phrase "high-tech startup" is almost redundant. A startup is a small company that takes on a hard technical problem.
  • Here is a brief sketch of the economic proposition. If you're a good hacker in your mid twenties, you can get a job paying about $80,000 per year. So on average such a hacker must be able to do at least $80,000 worth of work per year for the company just to break even
  • and if you focus you can probably get three times as much done in an hour
  • ...30 more annotations...
  • I'm claiming you could be 36 times more productive than you're expected to be in a random corporate job.
  • then a smart hacker working very hard without any corporate bullshit to slow him down should be able to do work worth about $3 million a year
  • f you want to make a million dollars, you have to endure a million dollars' worth of pain.
  • Bill Gates is a smart, determined, and hardworking man, but you need more than that to make as much money as he has. You also need to be very lucky.
  • If you want to create wealth, it will help to understand what it is. Wealth is not the same thing as money. [3] Wealth is as old as human history. Far older, in fact; ants have wealth. Money is a comparatively recent invention.
  • talking about making money can make it harder to understand how to make money.
  • the craftsmen. Their hand-made objects become store-bought ones.
  • A programmer can sit down in front of a computer and create wealth. A good piece of software is, in itself, a valuable thing.
  • And so it's clearer to programmers that wealth is something that's made, rather than being distributed, like slices of a pie, by some imaginary Daddy
  • we had one programmer who was a sort of monster of productivity
  • A great programmer, on a roll, could create a million dollars worth of wealth in a couple weeks. A mediocre programmer over the same period will generate zero or even negative wealth (e.g. by introducing bugs).
  • The top 5% of programmers probably write 99% of the good software.
  • Hackers often donate their work by writing open source software that anyone can use for free. I am much the richer for the operating system FreeBSD, which I'm running on the computer I'm using now, and so is Yahoo, which runs it on all their servers.
  • You can't go to your boss and say, I'd like to start working ten times as hard, so will you please pay me ten times as much?
  • A programmer, for example, instead of chugging along maintaining and updating an existing piece of software, could write a whole new piece of software, and with it create a new source of revenue.
  • All a company is is a group of people working together to do something people want. It's doing something people want that matters, not joining the group
  • To get rich you need to get yourself in a situation with two things, measurement and leverage. You need to be in a position where your performance can be measured, or there is no way to get paid more by doing more. And you have to have leverage, in the sense that the decisions you make have a big effect.
  • If you're in a job that feels safe, you are not going to get rich, because if there is no danger there is almost certainly no leverage.
  • All you need to do is be part of a small group working on a hard problem
  • Steve Jobs once said that the success or failure of a startup depends on the first ten employees. I agree
  • What is technology? It's technique. It's the way we all do things. And when you discover a new way to do things, its value is multiplied by all the people who use it. It is the proverbial fishing rod, rather than the fish. That's the difference between a startup and a restaurant or a barber shop. You fry eggs or cut hair one customer at a time. Whereas if you solve a technical problem that a lot of people care about, you help everyone who uses your solution. That's leverage
  • If there were two features we could add to our software, both equally valuable in proportion to their difficulty, we'd always take the harder one
  • I can remember times when we were just exhausted after wrestling all day with some horrible technical problem. And I'd be delighted, because something that was hard for us would be impossible for our competitors
  • Start by picking a hard problem, and then at every decision point, take the harder choice.
  • You'd think that a company about to buy you would do a lot of research and decide for themselves how valuable your technology was.
  • Not at all. What they go by is the number of users you have
  • Wealth is what people want, and if people aren't using your software, maybe it's not just because you're bad at marketing. Maybe it's because you haven't made what they want.
  • Now we can recognize this as something hackers already know to avoid: premature optimization. Get a version 1.0 out there as soon as you can. Until you have some users to measure, you're optimizing based on guesses.
  • In that respect the Cold War teaches the same lesson as World War II and, for that matter, most wars in recent history. Don't let a ruling class of warriors and politicians squash the entrepreneurs
  • Let the nerds keep their lunch money, and you rule the world.

  • dd' was needed to interact with the block devices,
  • 0 down vote You want to use dd so that you can specify things like bsize
  • tuning this to some multiple of 4k is going to be much faster than cat
  • dd has a number of useful extra features for more complex data copies
  • 2 down vote If I remember correctly, dd is much more "low level" in is approach, skipping such fancy things as filesystems and all the bells and whistles :)
  • dd is problematic in the presence of disk errors, and can hang or more importantly ignore non readable data

    Fascinating discussion over at Stack Overflow. Elucidates some of the subtle differences between dd and cat, and when and why you might want to use one over the other.

    How to set up phpMyAdmin on CentOS 6.2. It would be a good idea to set up phpMyAdmin as a secure website (HTTPS), rather than in clear-text (HTTP). This will ensure that all traffic between the web browser and phpMyAdmin is encrypted.

    Right click menu on icons - in nautilus - becomes longer and longer. In example, for a folder, there are more than 20 entries. It could be difficult - especially for new users who are not accustomed with shortcuts - to realize simple actions like delete or copy a file/folder. In order to enhance interaction with icons, a right click alternative could be implemented

Lots of action shots of home telemetry, Andy's Java midlet on his phone, and what I think is a GNOME desktop showing his home's web interface.

    Isn't Qubes just another Linux distribution after all? Well, if you really want to call it a distribution, then we're more of a "Xen distribution", rather then a Linux one. But Qubes is much more than just Xen packaging -- it has its own VM management infrastructure, with support for template VMs, centralized VM updating, etc, and also its very unique GUI virtualization infrastructure. What is the main concept behind Qubes? To build security on the "Security by Isolation" principle. Key architecture features:Based on a secure bare-metal hypervisor (Xen)Networking code sand-boxed in an unprivileged VM (using IOMMU/VT-d)No networking code in the privileged domain (dom0)All user applications run in "AppVMs", lightweight VMs based on LinuxCentralized updates of all AppVMs based on the same templateQubes GUI virtualization presents applications like if they were running locallyQubes GUI provides isolation between apps sharing the same desktopStorage drivers and backends sand-boxed in an unprivileged virtual machine(*)Secure system boot based on Intel TXT(*)
