Apache Server Nears 2.0
An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Apache httpd project has released a new beta of their apache 2.0 server (v32)". For those who have not been following the 2.0 development, this is the third beta that has been produced. The new version of Apache sports the new APR API and a new method for filtered I/O, and has been rewritten to make use of a hybrid thread/process model. With Covalent already selling a commercial version of 2.0, hopefully we will see a full release of the open source version in the near future.
The Microsoft Windows.NET Server project has released a new beta of their IIS 6.0 server. For those who have not been following Windows.NET Server development, this is the third beta that has been produced. With Covalent already selling a commercial version of Apache 2.0, hopefully we will see how open source is a sham, and yes, in a capitalist society, open source is really just a Communist's utopia. It's idiots like Miguel de Icaza who really twist the scenario --- Oh yeah, open source is you know, great and all, but I have to do other stuff and actually sell it so I can make a decent living.
It's people like RMS and ESR that make me wonder... people actually look up to these guys? Yeah, RMS knows Unix, and so do many others, but those many others don't resemble a homeless man in downtown Chicago eating out of a street trash can.
But yet, they fool the young of our society. Their "Linux" is somewhat akin to a drug dealer tempting a child with drugs... it gives them something exciting to play with, yet they are completely unaware of the downward spiral they are getting sucked into by the Open Source Advocates®. Fools like RMS preach their philosophy like a struggling black-on-white tied Mormon missionary ready to convert you, yet they get paid to speak. But the poor souls who are getting brainwashed by this blasphemy fail to realize that they will never get paid, instead working for free, and searching through apartment house dumpsters for some stale bread and an empty jar of Jif peanut butter, ready to scrape the insides for a savory morsel.
If you're reading this, don't fall into the trap, young man. There is help available. Remember that guidance counselor in high school that told you that you would never amount to anything. Well, keep doing what you're doing and she'll turn out to be right.

Linux is dying. That's because linux really sucks. It sucks so bad I want to puke all over cmdrTacos every time I hear someone talk about linus torvalds sweet gay anus. Linux gives opensource a bad name. Linux users give anal warts.
Also I should mention that slashdot is for sickos.

Whenever there's a new Apache build (for Windows, too; this is uncharacteristic of Slashdot), it seems to deserve being posted on the front page.
Slashdot editors: I doubt you are in requirement of being reminded that infinitely more informative stories are forced to lurk in the dungeon known as "that subject's section." I (and probably a great number of Slashdot readers) would be greatly appreciative if you'd leave Apache propaganda (and other inane 'stories') in their respective areas and move those underrated gems to the front page. Thank you.

Scary... very scary. sleeping a thread for 3 milliseconds is questionable for software as popular (and thus laden with high expectations) as Apache, but 3 seconds is downright criminal... sheesh. Remind me to never use Apache for web applications.
IOW, don't hold your breath waiting for the non-beta release of 2.0.

You are a very edumakated man sir I must say i really don't understand what this hockey fool was impling like wow sleep is thread safe so we don't need MUTEX LOCKING we can just say "You get the resource for the next 30 seconds then one guy stands there with his stopwatch and waits 30 seconds and if the other guy isn't done we'll just beat him over the head with a hockey stick and steal his resources!"
This is the great big poopie problem with shared memory spaces is that people don't use mutex locking and semaphores properly and instead depend on certain arbitrary operations being atomic when in reality they're about as atomic as cmdrtaco eating a bag of poopie poop watch the poopie poop drool down his face.
What the world needs is for every OS to implement POSIX semaphores in the kernel and in the libc so that people can use them then we must educate people doing bad threaded programming because they think threads are a cool toy to play with but don't use them seriously and take long breaks where they go eat poopie poop for long periods of time.
