    FirebirdSQL and Mozilla Firebird

    I don't see the confusion. If anything, I think it might generate more hits to your site. I've never heard of FirebirdSQL before today, -- been using mySQL and thinking of looking at postgres.

    Oh, yeah, I'm sure. I'm already confused how "their" name has been used by Pontiac for decades without having been taken. This is an asinine reaction from a group of jackasses. Their page complains that Mozilla has taken their "Mark" as well. I never saw their logo on Mozilla's page...but their mark DOES have a striking similarity to the City of Phoenix's symbol.

  12. Re:Actually... on Windows Media 9 in Digital Theaters · · Score: 1

    I maintain a datacenter as the NT/2000 server support and admin. Administratively, non-GUI administrative tools are crippled.

    Maybe I'm reading at a higher threshold than you are, because I never saw anyone say that MP3 player, screen saver, or desktop sounds were not optional. I, of course, NEVER enable any of these on server builds, as they just suck up more resources, and have no place on a server locked away on a raised floor. The point I was making was that resources are used by GUI long before explorer is launched as a shell.

  13. Re:I would imagine that you're wrong on Windows Media 9 in Digital Theaters · · Score: 1

    To clarify(because this is obviously going right over your head)....

    Linux can run just fine without X server.
    I realize that I typed Window Manager, and that the window manager runs on top of X. So take it a step lower. Windows does not run without the GUI (equivalent of X). The logon screen is graphical, and requires considerable overhead vs "Login:" textmode...

  14. Re:Actually... on Windows Media 9 in Digital Theaters · · Score: 1

    Your post makes no sense. Windows is ALWAYS running a GUI, whether or not a user is currently logged on to the local console or not. A GUI is overhead which SHOULD not be necessary, but is not optional with Windows. So you're saying that your windows logon screen is in textmode? What version are YOU running? You're still missing the point of the parent.

    Additional note.... Windows, is also designed such that much administrative functionality is non-existent without the gui....Try disconnecting a user from an open file using the command line without removing the sharepoint sometime.....

    Linux.... init 3
    Windows... huh? We can't do that!

  15. Re:I would imagine that you're wrong on Windows Media 9 in Digital Theaters · · Score: 1

    I would imagine that you just completely missed the point. Maybe you should install linux sometimg. The window manager is unnecessary overhead for a server, and doesn't have to be running. Windows is useless without the mandatory GUI interface / overhead.

  20. Re:Military targets? on 4l-j4z333ra 0wn3d · · Score: 1

    Of course the people don't want war, but they understand when it is necessary, and support those involved. The vast majority of Americans support the US action in Afghanistan AND Iraq. They understand that a very disturbed man, while maintaining his position of leadership by ruthless brutality, has been stockpiling weapons and working hard to acquire nuclear weapons (even if only "dirty" bombs) needs to be stopped BEFORE he has the opportunity to use them on our home soil. Or we could just wait for a crude nuclear weapon to be detonated in a Stadium full of people. Why be proactive? It costs less to lose 30,000 (or whatever) lives. What the heck, we could never defend ourselves, and save billions. We can all pretend that nothing happened.
