At least with those you never had to worry about a reboot unless it was a kernel change, everything else could be restarted without down time. But the complexity goes up and that's what many don't like. It also requires more of a team effort amongst developers at least from my point of view because each part of the OS becomes it's own entity. This can both help and hinder security since there is more talk going on between the parts of the OS leaving space for injection of malicious code. A well implemented OS of this type would fly, absolutely fly on modern hardware due to how it would be stored in memory, but that also means a very intelligent and streamlined memory manager would be needed in the base kernel. Imagine only needing a kernel footprint in memory of like 5MB or so everything else is a module of the OS and can be swapped out as needed to keep physical memory available for applications. In many servers this may be a moot point because often they only have a few simple tasks but in a desktop this would be a head turner. I mean you could have Netbooks with a gig of ram that would fly simply because memory would always be available for a running app and not filled with the monolithic OS kernel. I could also see this fitting well with modern virtualized deployments since it would allow a greater density due to better resource allocation. Hell this kinda modularized OS would be a perfect fit for a hypervizor since it could bring the footprint down to near nothing and lower the over head for running guests. Hmmm, good food for thought here.
Just my $0.02
Ever since the update I've had issues with games freezing up on me. I haven't noticed any real slow down of the net connection or any issues with PSN. But if this is a ploy by Sony to get me to give up my thick PS3 that has the ability to play PS2 games then they better add that functionality to the slim PS3 because I'm not about to go out and buy 2 consoles just to have the same functionality as the one I have now.
Why not take all these items and their packaging and start mass shipping everything back to the creator since they say it can't be resold or transfered. I am all for this, let them deal with the mess, heck get a large enough crowd to do it and it would cause back ups in their warehouse. I already considered this for computer components that can't be thrown away, I'll just start sending everything back to the manufacturer so they can dispose of them since I can't.
That would be similar to someone putting performance parts on their car and a cop pulling up and arresting them for street racing on the basis that they would be using said modifications to do so. No crime has been committed unless it has become illegal to modify purchased devices and hardware. I know they say he was circumventing parts of the hardware that protect copyrights of games against piracy but I do not see how that is against the law unless it is proven without a doubt that he did so with piracy in mind.
How would they hook into the cars, and what about cars whose electrical systems aren't stable enough to run modern equipment. My old RX-7's electric is buggy and my friends MG that he drives all the time is horrid, turn on the headlights and a warning light comes on unless he's at a good speed because it can't handle the load.
How else will they continue to fun their legal battles and OS development. LOL Plus they need to make up for vista and other projects that don't turn a profit.
You can also add the fact that Solaris has better threading support for SMP and CMT. I mean Sun's T5440 shows 512 CPUs when you pull the stats due to the way it threats. And the new Rock chip will have out of order processing for better thread times.
Well there is a branch of OpenSolaris that uses Debian for the most part and then the Solaris kernel. But I can tell you right now there is more Solaris in the market place then Linux. I work with major enterprises and that's their #1 OS.
perhaps the situation is that you use the TOR to maintain your privacy or you are connecting over a dialup or through a public wifi that proxies all connections as a way to preform accounting on all connected accounts.
What then?
they most definitely didn't loose in the server or storage areas. The Sun Storage 7000 beats out NetApps offerings easily as well as many others. The ESX performance is great. As for Sun servers, they run some of the biggest corporations in the world. I don't see IBM eliminating Sun, I see them keeping them around as a branch. The only thing many can guess IBM really wants is Java and the ecosystem built around it. Sun itself has too big a following to ever just be let go.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I love that sound

LOL ya, or it will be a legacy registration like antique cars. hmm

I can just see the planners of the revolution getting all giddy about the kind of pulling together against evil these movies can inspire. LOL
