It's support for *your* controller that Fedora doesn't have. I have a Dell PowerEdge 750 running with (2) SATA drives running software RAID 1 without problem on Fedora Core 3. Why does the Dell PowerEdge have support? Because it's Dell, and Dell sells their server with RedHat Linux installed. If RHEL has support then Fedora will too. If you want support for your controller on Linux talk to *your* manufacturer. Desktop motherboards with SATA will not get support until after server motherboards anyway. Most servers will more advantage of SATA features than most email/web browsing desktops.
Kimball also took issue with SCO's varying position on exactly how it believes IBM violated SCO's copyrights. Initially, the company said it would argue that IBM infringed SCO copyrights by moving Unix code to Linux. But when SCO filed its main claim, it argued merely that IBM infringed only by continuing to ship a version of Unix, called AIX, after SCO said it had revoked IBM's license to do so.
They claim one thing, revoke the license then take them to court saying they are selling without a license and discarded the claim that the license was revoked for? You cannot revoke a license without cause then sue because they are still selling that license.
I have a T-Mobile PocketPC. I've had it for almost 3 years now. It *is* a PDA plus a phone. I like it a lot except for few problems with it. 1) I will NEVER buy another PDA/Phone or whatever else unless it has a *REAL* qwerty keyboard on it. Using a stylis and a virtual keyboard really blows. 2) I've had (3) of these PocketPCs (replacement when something goes wrong with the one I have) One thing that is consistant screwing up is any word that starts with the letter B it likes to capitalize no matter where in a sentense it appears. (annoys me beyond belief) 3) The fact that if I'm writing a text message and I use an apostrophe it errors on the first attempt on a word telling me that I'm using a non-supported character. (then I just retype it and it accepts it)
I got the PocketPC because it had MS Word and MS Excel, but I find I do not use them. Instead I find using the regular "Note" (notepad) which is plain text much easier. Word and Excel are very limited in use compared to the full version (obviously) and are just not worth the trouble. I've looked at the Sidekick 2 and the new Blackberry. They both look great. I cannot decide which one I will go with. Although, extended use of the first version Sidekick's ear peice seems to screw up after a few months (or weeks in some cases) Living in New York, hah you have to use it when you're driving. (not that you shouldn't anyhow) Hopefully, the Sidekick 2s ear piece jack is of much better quality.
I've already seen ISPs that throttle SMTP messages. Only allowing you to send up to 50 in a 5 minute period. While that would still allow spammers to send 600 an hour per host; Thats a lot better than allowing them to send 5k-10k or more an hour per host.
Everyone bitches and says that software apps do not take advantage of dual-cores so whats the point?
Evolution is the point.
What was the point of the first TV station? No one had televisions to watch it!
Why create SATA drives? Noone's motherboard supported SATA!
Someone had to take the first step. When dual-cores become standard, people will start writing software to use them. At the rate software is growing we will need dual-cores to do anything in under 5 minutes. How long does it take your OpenOffice to start up? How long would it take on your system 5 years ago?
Users of windows start using Evolution instead of Outlook. All the sudden they see that they don't require Microsoft and start evaluating other operating systems too...
The point isn't to be anti-Microsoft, it's to be pro choice.
It's not like Texas doesn't already build gigantic highways. 635(LBJ freeway) in Dallas is up to twelve lanes wide in many places and it's not the only one. Eight and ten lane highways are normal. I had a friend fly into DFW airport and call this place "The land of concreate and honey". (honey refering to the immense amount of strip joints in Dallas)
As they say, An ounce of prevention is more valuable than a pound of cure. Why don't they fix the hole in Internet Explorer rather than implement software to remove exploits? Oh thats right! It's not a security hole, it's a feature.
I don't have the experience to comment on your other points, but the following one I can say without hesitation. Stick to giving advise on other subjects. Your financial advise is horrible.
I wouldn't worry one bit about not having a 401k. There is only one benefit of a 401k -- the tax exemption. The rest of it is invested in our securities markets, which is basically a sexier slot machine. The only weak spot in my portfolio for years without variation has been my 401k and stocks. Complete losers -- blue chips or not -- its all the same -- the stock market is nothing more than speculation. Remember the tortoise and the hare -- invest wisely in long term CDs. They are guaranteed, and you won't be telling your future son "oops" when you lose his college money when he's a junior in high school.
First. Using a 401k isn't bad, but it isn't the greatest either. First, never commit more to your 401k than your company will match. The 2 best things about 401k are the tax break, and the company matching. A 401k isn't a great retirement tool, but with company matching and the tax bring it isn't one to brush aside either. What is the problem with 401k? They are mutual funds. Dealing with stocks is like playing poker. Mutual funds are like having Bob pick 50 poker players and praying at least 26 of them are winners. You might as well play the lottery. Investing in individual stocks are better. The trick is to research. Know the company that your are investing (risking your future) money in. I CANNOT STRESS RESEARCH ENOUGH!!! Think of a stove top. Would you touch it without checking to make sure it was off first? If you pay someone to advise you on your investments, you're a fool. If he was a billionaire from investing (Warren Buffet) then you might take his advise. (btw, Warren Buffet will tell you to invest in individual stocks too!) Otherwise, why would you ask a man who works for a living where to invest? If he was that damn good, why is he working to make you money instead of himself? If you fully research your investments then you will probably win. My advise? Learn to research investments. Take *any* advise towards *any* particular investment with a dump truck full of salt. If that deal was so great, why would they share the money that could be made with you? Most financial advisers get paid to sell certain investments. Ever heard of the bait and switch? Bait 5,000 ignorant investors to buy a stock you own. The price goes up as thousands of the stock get bought up. Once the buying slows. The sell for a substantial profit switch to the next stock you're going to bait.
As for investing in CDs. I have one word that will prove that CDs are a horrible investment. Inflation. Inflation runs between 3-4% a year. If your CD is earning 2.5% and inflation is 4% you're losing buying power on each and every dollar (euro, mark, yen, etc) you have invested. In otherwords. After one year your $10,000 will be $10,250 dollars but will only buy $9,850 worth of goods at last years dollar value. Albert Einstein once said, Compound Interest was the greatest mathematical discovery of all time. Now think about the fact that CDs are compounding negative earnings. You lost $150 the first year. Next year your not only lose another 1.5% of it's diminished value, but you lose any and all interest (and compounded interest) you could have earned if you would have *invested wisely* as you put it.
I use Opera, and I find it's UI much better than Firefox. The only problem I find with Opera is *the* compatibility with some websites. Not that it doesn't work per say, but that they check the browser's name and say "It's not supported" (Yes, I know you can make it claim to be IE or whatever, but that doesn't always work)
A lot of people claim Opera's problem is they can't complete with Free. Well, I use Opera's free version. Whats the problem? Opera's customizable interface blows Firefox away. In UI, Firefox is no competition to Opera. Speed? Nope, Opera is still far better.
Don't get me wrong, I love Firefox too, but Opera in my opinion has a far superior usability. Firefox just renders more websites. Every product has it's pluses and minuses. I use both, but if it renders in Opera, then I use Opera.
Failure by the Registrar of Record to respond within five (5) calendar days to a notification from the Registry regarding a transfer request will result in a default "approval" of the transfer.
Umm, this says Registrar of Record not Registered Name Holder. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a Registrar of Record would be EasyDNS, Register.com, networksolutions.com, etc. A Registered Name Holder would be me. I think this has more to do with you trying to transfer your domain to a different register, and your current register not responding because they don't want you to move it.
Steve Case seems to stand in the middle. He can do, and can teach, but his major downfall was his ego. The saying "Keep it simple stupid" comes to mind. AOL tried to do to much. Case created this giant. He made the Internet easier to use in the beginning. Today, it's easy to use without all the crap that AOL provides. Now AOL is nothing more than bloatware that (IMHO) hampers more than helps.
I don't think their methodology is flawed. It clearly states that more websites run Apache than IIS. This is fact is just that. A fact. Most Apache servers on the Internet are shared hosted sites. Of those sites, none of them require Windows technologies to function properly. Therefor they are running Apache. Why would you run IIS if your website would run on Apache? Apache is far away more secure than IIS. That doesn't even include the fact that Apache scales on a per websites bases better than IIS. Apache is cheaper and scales better for shared hosting. Why would you pay more and get less?
It also says IIS is used on 54.1% of corporate and dedicated hosting environments. In a corporate environment chances are you will need enhanced functionality out of your web services. These corporate users are probably using.NET. Most websites do not require.NET and therefor do not use IIS..NET services on a web hosting plan are more expensive. Again why pay for something you don't need.
Anyhow, nothing is flawed about Netcraft's survey. They presented the facts that their research showed them. Everyone just perceives those facts the way they want too. Port 80 Software presents the data that best suits them. Their products run on IIS only. Why present facts that could hamper sales for your product?
I buy my cables from Neiman Marcus and yes they have fuzzy collars with sparkly things on them. They cost about $350 and are only good for one cable folding fashion season. I have to buy my winter cables now. (can't be this seasons ugly duckling) I figure if I hold on to them for several years I can use them again. Hell, if bell bottoms can come backin style like a few years ago why can't IDE cables!!
No, I didn't RFA as you filty/.ers won't let me.:(
Umm, have you ever been to a hotel or airport? USAToday is the news paper of choice. I think *most* business travellers know what a web browser is.
I'm not saying USAToday isn't crappy. (I don't read it) Alot of people use crappy things. IE/AOL/Sprint PCS/etc (obviously these are my opinions and not everyone elses) Your post is an assumption and not supported by any facts. Assumptions are generally the first mistake made in any decision process that fails to produce the expected result. I think USAToday is actually a better choice than the NYTimes. (and I read the New York Times!!!)
My question is this. If H-B1s were to help companies that needed tech help, why are there 100k tech workers out of work and 64k H-B1s get snatched up as soon as they are released? While I don't know how true the 100k number is, I'm definitely aware that there are a TON of American tech workers out of work and definitely more than the 65k H-B1s that has been released. Why were there 65k H-B1s released if there are more than 65k tech workers out of work?
I just want someone to explain this without the double talk and avoiding valid points.
