  1. I sense a new '... is dying' by Sun+Tzu · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Are Media Writers Biased Towards Apple?

    In fact it will only get worse as technology coverage is handed to newer, less-qualified observers who simply cannot use a Microsoft Windows computer.

    Heh. Now there's an argument the WinMedia didn't use against Linux. I'm not sure it speaks well of Windows though.

    Meanwhile, some of the Unix sysadmins I know have recently switched to a Mac.

    Therefore, if the non-technological end of the market goes to Apple because they 'simply cannot use a Microsoft Windows computer' and the tech-savvy are running Linux (and/or Mac's), what will become of Windows?

    It sounds almost like Dvorak is trying to say 'Windows is dying!'??

  2. Is it coding season already? by Sun+Tzu · · Score: 1 · on NetBSD Summer of Code Summary

    The Summer of Code can only lead to...
    The Fall of programming progress...
    The Winter of endless loop hibernation -- a bitter code spell, indeed...
    And the Spring of 1000 bugs! (looks like time to gear up for another Summer of Code, eh?)

  6. The power of OpenBSD Songs by Sun+Tzu · · Score: 2, Funny · on Lyrics for OpenBSD 3.8 Song Out

    The OpenBSD songs, while not as popular as some alternatives, contain fully audited lyrics and music, and are among the most secure compositions you can play on a computer.

    For use on conventional CD players, there is little security advantage to running OpenBSD songs.

  7. We use Gigabyte Ethernet by Sun+Tzu · · Score: 1 · on Choosing Interconnects for Grid Databases?

    We have a 2-node RAC in place with plans to add two additional nodes over the next few weeks. We're using GigE and it's working perfectly. Unfortunately, only two GEthernet ports were spec'd originally, so we're also adding a third so we can have a redundant interconnect, heh.
