Solaris' Dtrace in Detail
paulkoan writes "The Register has a further details about the new Dtrace systems utility bundled with Solaris 10, along with pictures of the authors, and user testimonials. It also highlights Suns vague assurances that this (if it lives up to the hype) amazing utility may or may not end up in the public domain."

so, we are assured of a and !a ???
Trolling using another account since 2005.
Bingo!
In fact, you can bet your life that it will or won't show up in public domain.
Now this is what I call a nice and reputable company! At least they keep what they promise!
I bet someone has to DTrace his slashdotted server real soon now..
So if some software isn't in the Gentoo portage tree you won't run it on your Solaris boxes at work?
This is proprietary software for a version of Solaris which isn't even out yet.
Remind me not to employ you as a Solaris sysadmin. Hell, remind me not to employ you to make the tea - we might have different cups at work and you wouldn't know what to do with them.

No, he means that it's a relatively large change with no intermediate positions.
"very small" is only your perception of the size of change. Moving between a base state and an excited state is a pretty big thing for an atom.
No, we're vaguely assured that [i]true[/i].
Yes, I got them memo, and I've already taken care of it ... so ... it's not really a problem anymore.

Sun's vacillation about open source reminds me of the philosophers in the Hitchhiker's guide.
``But who the devil are you?'' exclaimed an outraged Fook.
``We,'' said Majikthise, ``are Philosophers.''
``Though we may not be,'' said Vroomfondel waving a warning finger at the programmers.
``Yes we are,'' insisted Majikthise. ``We are quite definitely here as representatives of the Amalgamated Union of Philosophers, Sages, Luminaries and Other Thinking Persons, and we want this machine off, and we want it off now!''
``What's the problem?'' said Lunkwill.
``I'll tell you what the problem is mate,'' said Majikthise, ``demarcation, that's the problem!''
``We demand,'' yelled Vroomfondel, ``that demarcation may or may not be the problem!''
``You just let the machines get on with the adding up,'' warned Majikthise, ``and we'll take care of the eternal verities thank you very much. You want to check your legal position you do mate. Under law the Quest for Ultimate Truth is quite clearly the inalienable prerogative of your working thinkers. Any bloody machine goes and actually finds it and we're straight out of a job aren't we? I mean what's the use of our sitting up half the night arguing that there may or may not be a God if this machine only goes and gives us his bleeding phone number the next morning?''
``That's right!'' shouted Vroomfondel, ``we demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!''
Give system catchy name, vaguely reminiscent of Eminem's rap group
I'm sure they did this to appeal to the disproportionately-large numbers of African-Americans in the field of computer science.
Yeah. It's just we are putting new coversheets on the TPS reports before they go out, so if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that would be great.
What were the skies like when you were young?
going to write a new TPS/response-time monitor using it.
Did you get the memo about the cover sheet?
If it doesn't make me say "Oh boy..." in a resigned kind of way it is no Quantum leap.
As opposed to humans, who usually exhibit more of their base states when excited.
At least it doesn't say Dtrace was a scalable,, three-tier, object-oriented, java-driven solution engine...

Keep your packets off my GNU/Girlfriend!
I'll have to start using that in my conversations about lusers. "I wouldn't call him stupid; let's just say he doesn't have a good relationship with his brain..." :)

I know I would pay big dollars, say like $28, for a box that ran infinitely fast.
This could be the diet pill for software bloat that we've all been looking for.
