Microsoft Claims Firms 'Hitting a Wall' With Linux
maxifez writes writes to tell us that Microsoft has released yet another independent study downplaying the viability of Linux at the enterprise level. The study claims that Windows is "more consistent, predictable, and easier to manage than Linux." From the article: "The study, commissioned by the software giant from Security Innovation, a provider of application security services, claimed that Linux administrators took 68 per cent longer to implement new business requirements than their Windows counterparts." Vnunet.com has also provided a PDF of the original report.
In other news, Windows was cracked 68% faster than Linux and didn't warn that it was happening at 40%....

Shh.
Hell yeah, Steel Reserve is great. Lots of High Gravity goodness there.
I got nothin'
I have never had the beer, so I can't comment on its quality, but OMG the marketing group went psychotic. Too bad they didn't understand a word the brewmaster said to them.
Have you ever had any Bud or Bud Light? Personally, I'd rather be sober than drink that shit. Try a good beer (I like Heineken best).

I sincerely doubt it would on Slashdot. Though burning the Bill of Rights would seem to be more up Clinton's alley -- at least with respect to its first, second, and fourth articles. I am curious what there is in the Bill of Rights that has been "burned" by the current Republican Oval Office.
1.) What laws has President Bush pushed that punish speech, religion, or free assembly?
2.) Where have the republicans raised gun control?
4.) All I can think of the PATRIOT Act and warrantless wiretaps. Though it is difficult to justify that following into seizure of "persons, houses, papers, and effects." What else is there?
5.) ???
6.) I am guessing you are talking about detainees at Guantanamo Bay. This issue has been addressed in the past, and if anything it is a Geneva Convention violation.
8.) How has President Bush imposed excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishment?
9.) Read up on your history. This does not guarantee you the right to check out communist literature from public libraries, it is about absolute fundamental rights like eating, sleeping, and fucking.
Please don't tell me you believe the pundits that the recent Congressional vote was about support for torture. Some of the most brutal and militant actions in this country's history happened under progressives (FDR and JFK spring to mind).
For what its worth, I never get news from television and listen to Michael Savage (an avid anti-Republican) and Howie Carr (local Boston host) for political talk radio. I suppose you watch CNN, and listen to Al Franken and Jerry Springer on Air America? Or are you just another quasi-intellectual listening to National Propaganda Radio? See, I can play that game too.
