Sun Works to Converge Linux and Solaris
Jucius Maximus writes "A new change has appeared in Sun's strategy as reported by CNET. Instead of dismissing Linux as inferior, it is now trying to integrate elements of Linux into Solaris for easier porting of applications. This looks like a step in the right direction for Linux acceptance in the professional server market."
There once was a coder named Linus
Who let RMS touch his penis
They'd jerk and they'd play
And Linus would say,
'We're outside, someone could have seen us'
Wohus carus ?
In protensum foggortrum, wolpus noggus vililili prost nogg.
El siptus shwit upullus hagg nor spuntum.
Wedulus getrum sunnus loxor.
Naparum !
Wow. that was not only a hideously uninformed opinion, but was scathing and malicious (with more than a hint of obscenity).
Please mod this up. Please :-)
I'm out of my tree just now but please feel free to leave a banana.
Maybe you should wait until you finish high school to start talking like you have a clue, eh?
Wow....
Jon Katz isn't a myth!
reason's - This is the simple pluralization of a noun. The apostrophe is incorrect.
solaris - This is a trademarked name, used as a proper noun. This should be capitalized.
workstations - Here you have properly pluralized a noun, which also happens to be a compund word.
computations - Again, you have properly pluralized a noun. However, "computation" also functions as a collective noun, in need of no additional pluralization.
Solaris - Good! In this instance, you've appropriately capitalized this proper noun.
sucks - Here we see the correct third person nominative conjugation of the verb, "to suck." Well done.
pages - This is a proper pluralization.
utilities - Here is the another correct pluralization, this time of an irregularly pluralized noun, "utility."
aspects - Once again, you have shown competence in pluralizing a regular noun. You enjoy a better command of the English language than your subject line suggests!
effectiveness - Here you have nominalized the adjective, "effective," (which is iself derived from the verb, "to effect.") There is usually no temptation to incorrectly use an apostrophe on nominalization suffixes, so your usage is unexceptional.
things - Your final pluralization is another correct one.
My overall impression is that the stray apostrpohe in your subject line is anomalous, and does not represent a greater pattern of improper pluralization.
In regard to the phrase, "...ability to script your work easy..." (emphasis added), the word "easy" is intended to modify the verb "to script." When modifying a verb or an adjective, you must use an adverb instead of another adjective. The phrase, correctly written, would be "...ability to script your work easily."
To me, grep -e "'s" is like Batman scanning Gotham's skyline for the Bat Signal.
