The Codecs aren't theirs

The codecs are all owned by 3rd parties. You people are never happy.

This book is great.

One of the best O'Reilly books. Awesome.

Gigawatt Radio Network

On: Cringley predicts Microsoft Audio will triumph

You can check out

http://www.gigawatt.net

for a new punk rock streaming radio network... They are using Real to stream the audio but if you want, download the songs in MP3 format as well...

I don't think the audio on the site is hooked up yet but the web master told me the site should be working in a couple of weeks...

Good sysadmins are rare and usually underpaid

On: The Life of the Sysadmin

Very right... I administer NT at work and am an MCP because my job requires those skills but those certification tests are a JOKE! I had to sneak Linux onto my desktop and one lone Web server...

Open Source is copywrited by Apple?

On: Mac OS X out and faster than Linux?

This is the key point... I think it's a typo... Jobs/Apple know how religious the Linux/Open Source community is (come on, the Macintosh community is the same way... funny how so few are religious about wintel...)...

No one trusts Apple's Benchmarks...Ours?

On: Mac OS X out and faster than Linux?

I think everyone agrees that benchmarks published by the vendor (whomever that may be) are often times misrepresentative of the facts...

Let's do our own benchmarks with OS X Server. I ordered my copy and would be more than willing to test it out vs LinuxPPC on my G3/266. What benchmarks should I be using though??

I am going to venture a guess that MacOS X Server will be pretty darn fast with Apache (a different press release that I read said that all the machines were running Apache 1.3.4) but I want numbers to prove it.
