Now you can pay too much for MariaDB to run slowly, too.
Microsoft dumping money into an open source project hasn't been a bad thing yet. At least as far as I know.
That part is fine, putting it on Azure is the sucky bit.

Top 500 supercomputers list. Surprising that all 500 run some form of linux. Normally a few other OSs are hanging in.

Interesting Sunway procs leading the pack...

Still SPARC in the top ten.

I wonder how long till we see ARM creeping up in the list.

#1 uses 15MW of power!
#4 from Japan wins on power efficiency by a long shot.

Number 1 is pretty efficient, though.

I don't see an issue there.

Oh yeah, seems like 100% an NSA "voluntarily sending data externally" problem. Nothing to do with the AV vendor directly.

I'm sure they even agreed to have data sent to Kaspersky. Oddly I'm much more inclined to believe Kaspersky then the NSA... especially since this isn't the first time they've messed up like this.

That's been common knowledge since their inception... or at least since they've been retasked to spy on American citizens.
