      Now you can pay too much for MariaDB to run slowly, too.

      But you're right.... not sure I would want to run that on Azure.

        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.

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

                    Number 1 is pretty efficient, though.

                      Much better then number 2.

                              I don't see an issue there.

                              Clearly they didn't whitelist their designer malware with the Anti-malware software running on the computer, which Kaspersky picked it up and was just doing it's job as it should.

                                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.

                                    I guarantee that they did.

                                      Basically, the NSA was incompetent and didn't know basic security. Surprised? I didn't think so.

                                        NSFW is Not Safe for Work. Maybe NSA is Not Safe for America? 😉

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