First of all your attitude is bullshit!
Second, I know what I am running and how much users I have. A social network is not read-only. Users constantly post in communities, and different applications.
Even the blog website receives several updates each moment (including comments, counters etc.)
We use our own cache but on social network, because the pages are very dynamic and constantly changing it is provides limited use.
Postgres did not give us the performance we needed. We now run two websites using MySQL:
- Website 1 is a social network with almost 1 million users. We have a daily visit of 350,000 (peak) and 3-5 million page views/day. Every page has average 3-5 queries.
We use a single web server + 2 replicated MySQL servers (1 master + 1 read only replicated) each with quad CPUs.
- Website 2 is a weblog website. We have 0.4-0.5 million visits/day and almost 2 million page views. This one is managed using a single MySQL+Apache server (dual quad).
I have run tests and I never ever imagine such performance with Postgres.
No, it is not.
Fcaebook has more complicated business layer and people do not go with PHP just because it is easy.
I select PHP because it's very light weight.
We have a website with 1 million members and almost 5000 concurrent users (a social network). We have a single web server and 3 MySQL database servers and everything is fine. We had 185,000 unique visitors, peek 5000 concurrent users and 4,000,000 page views (+ at least 40 images on each page).
A few years ago we converted from ASP and we put away more than half of our servers and we were able to increase number of users to two times.
Facebook uses PHP+MySQL. (the same as Friendster and many others)
Do not forget vBulletin and phpBB which operate websites with hundreds thousands of members (even few of them have more than 1 million members and 4000 concurrent users).
I have also had incompatibility between word and write. The complicated documents are not rendered the same.
I suggest you select at least 50 documents of different types in your office and check the compatibility issues.
I also suggest you to operate both Office and OOO in parallel for let's say 1-2 months in case you come to a serious problem and want to go back.
Some companies still use OS/2!! And I personally saw in my bank that they use NT4 for their servers and professional for their users!!!
I am not sure how they maintain them but for sure they need to isolate their systems from outside because it is one of the most insecure things to do.
Agreed. And also much more than ubuntu X and X+1! Ubuntu 8 and 7 for example did not change that much.
I guess people expect MS to always provide upgrades like "Vista from XP":)
Rubs faster! Programs start much faster (blazingly faster sometimes) despite the Antivirus I have installed.
Most of the programs function faster and beautiful environment is a Plus.
I installed my windows vista business 4 times and I could not continue more than 1 day (and then removed it every time to free hard drive space and did not even bothered to keep it as a dual boot).
But now I have installed every software I needed (endnote, matlab, xilinx ISE webpack, office,...) under it and made it the default OS.
I wish when "windows 7 RC1" comes out I can upgrade the beta to it because I do not have time to install a fresh one. I guess I will continue using win7 until its release.
By the way I have installed it on 2 PCs. My university PC is a quad-Intel with Nvidia 8600 and 2G ram while the home PC is an old AMD(dual) with 2G ram and on board graphics. Both of them are quite responsive and feel much better than even windows-xp.
Forgot to say I have ubuntu multiboot on both of them.
You cannot bear India. Cities are not clean, health services are not acceptable,...
Go to Malaysia instead. You can finish a 3 years BSc (including living costs) with less than 20,000-25,000 USD in USM for example (this is state university and one of the best).
Non-state universities are more expensive but much much cheaper than US. Look at MMU for example. (I guess you can finish with less than 40,000 USD, 20,000 for fees, 20000 for 3 years of living).
OpenOffice does not have outline mode which has been requested for ages by professional users.
It might be suitable for college students and simple usages but for some professional applications (like some CRM,...) which are integrated with it, you cannot use OpenOffice.
A few years ago i tried to do this. However every few days the time between samba and Active Directory would go out of sync and everything would stop.
Permissions on samba would not work with some software (e.g. older FAT based software because of strange date maintenance...)
At the end I gave up and obtained a NAS for the company (which was also based on Samba + a web interface etc) and even this one had the time sync problem (even though we had set time sync with AD on it).
At the end the NAS company was sold to SUN and I was not even able to get updates/support for the device.
I guess I have had no luck with Samba.
ET is more interesting to you until a very near relatives comes up with a serious illness like Cancer, AIDS,... Then you will regret the priorities you set.
I wanted to use it in my Academic job (i.e writing papers etc) but very soon I gave up. The quality is miserable. I can not dare to use it for the paper I have wroked on for a few months. I prefer to pay for M$ and use theirs and don't risk my papers.
I wanted to use it for my personal research notes but again I gave up. What's the point of installing 2 software for the same purpose and then switching back and forth between them? And sometimes you can not even export your work from one of them to other.
The only useful thing is their Draw which I use for building diagrams, ideas etc.

US is the number one source of spam, not Korea. or you mean everyone except US is prohibited from earning (stealing) from spam?
Because he has been more successful and credible than me and you!
And what happens if a customer's email server does not use spf/dk?
No, it is not.

Microsoft and some others already did it using Hibernate. Have you tried that?

I was thinking exactly the same. Windows 95 was not that stable, win98 (SE especially) fixed the problems and made it a suitable OS.
You can read the way you want but it does not change the fact.

and there will be no Yahoo, gmail or any other public mail server! (or yahoo may use 100 milion servers there to serve current users)
It will not work, the first one in your blocked list will be yahoo, as almost 90% of the emails come from yahoo
