Gain experience by taking jobs like "Junior Linux administrator" or similar titles. Don't expect a job as "Linux Specialist" without some real on the job experience.
for expecting your IIS webserver to standup to a *real* load level. I mean come on, they server audio to make money yet their web server can't handle a/.ing That's just poor design, whatever platform you use.
Now if they actually only use wmv, that would suck for all those who can't/won't browse them.
If China/Asia decides their own course of technology specific to there needs, would the rest of the world not try to interoperate? I mean there's over a billion people there!
Would it not be prudent to have technology that works the way they need it to, instead of accepting whatever multinationals decide is good enough for them?
And anyhow if it's based on open standards, will it not be easier to interoperate with them anyhow??
I think the statement is more about protecting Intel's interests (i.e. selling chips), then what's "good for asia"
1) The Register article states "But presumably there are still going to be Windows clients in there" the scotsman.com does not specify. But yes, the assumption could easily be made that they will remain windows on the client side.
2) I made no mention that Linux was incapable of this. In fact, I know first hand the opposite is quite true.
3) Yes they can, I've been dealing with automakers for a few years now (mainly imports), and there has been many instances of interfaces for communication being changed completely with little notice as well as compltely droping functionality for extended periods of time. Automakers are not IT companies and it shows.
The fact remains that a very large company is switching many of it's significant systems to an open platform. An example of what this could mean, is "DCS" (the system used to transfer info to/from dealers about stock, pricing, sales, etc.). They won't be releasing specs for a windows only way of accessing the system, most likely it will be a well tested interoperable system. And not some damn DLL with examples in VB.
No, this is not a minor accomplishment. The use of an open system as the company's platform, will have a great affect on *many* other companies. Ford deals with hundreds, if not thousands, of vendors/suppliers/dealers/etc. They will be required to conform to fords needs, sending a Word document (that is completly propritery) to ford when it can't be opened is not an option. These other companies will be forced into making the effort to use open standards when communicating.
a minor accomplishment would be getting a company that is small and has few comapnies it deals with, converted to Linux.
I think you missed the point, you maybe "at the top of many of the world's major industries", but at the cost of work happiness which was the original point....
So the corporations will save us? If basic education cannot be provided by the government, they've got serious problems that need fixing. Having coporations come in and bail them out helps no one except the corporation, in the long run.
So if there's no knowing what's coming down the pipe, why are you asking?
The reality is it would make no sense wondering if you should wire a house with today's technology, or wait for 10 years. If you need it now, then do it now.
It won't make your copper obsolete, cause it ain't ment to replace it.. Think internet backbones... Most PCs would probably have a hell of a time even coming close to pushing 10 terabits/sec
Maybe I'm missing something but what if anything can be done to a Video Card to make it work better with 64bit CPU or dual CPUs. Please no magical "it makes it go faster cause 2 is more than 1" explnations....

Please explain to me how this obvious marketing technique (giving reason to why an upgrade to an word processor is needed so often) is "Ironic".
Pretty please.
will you wait till they institute mind control rays before saying something might be wrong with the system?

That would explain why almost all Unix and Unix like systems rely on them.
If your botherd by a command prompt and feel at home with a gui, maybe your using the wrong OS.
no, the majority voting.
Which they do not, what's the usualy turn out 46%?
hmmm wasn't it about 50% (150 000 000) of the people thought that there were WMD in Iraq, thus justifying the war?
The whole "the majority is always right" doesn't seem very democratic.....

There is still plenty of NT 4 out there.
For some it's all they need.

so get an external usb 2.0/firewire 5.25 drive enclousre.
problem solved.
(unless you have a problem with an ugly external enclousre)
no it can't be better than WineX.
Bochs is a IA32 emulator, you'd need to run Linux, bochs, windows, half life. That would make it slow
I'll add my voice to the people ranting about how "I'm so glad I use postfix".
I remember being told Sendmail was insecure a long time ago, but all that's been fixed.
Do most Linux/*BSD's ship with sendmail as the default still?
Only in America.
