This use-the-right-fucking-tool-for-the-job-already attitude is exactly the way people should look at it. It's how I solve my problems. It's how I keep the users and the customers happy. It's what gives my network stability.
It's nice that people advocate some operating systems, but real admins already know what they are going to use. The right tool for the damn job.
See subject line. AFAICR, x86 "SMP" under NetBSD was only spinup, it could 'see' more cpu's, and spin them up, but it never did anything with the extra cpus. Do they finally have stuff like threading and running processes on more cpus in order? I don't own SMP boxes, but there's a couple of places where I worked that would drool over a stable SMP NetBSD box if that was possible:)
Hmm... Time to scour off the netbsd-current@ mailinglists again for answers...
Not only tell Microsoft that. Sony hates modders too. Nintendo hates modders as well.
Instead of just blaming Microsoft (the easy way), why not blame the other console corps as well? Blaming MS might be easy, but in console-country they aren't the only ones trying to keep hackers away from their so-called IP.
*note: I hate Microsoft like the next guy. I have a MS free zone at home.
PS: the M$ thing is old, give it a rest. I'm serious. Stop that. You will be taken more seriously if you refer to things by their real names/abbreviations. The Co$ is of course the exception of the rule.:)

Duh, of course not. I'm talking about this 'dot right 'ere. The slashdot. Mos Slashdot airport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
(yeah I should finish up on that UFie wars thing. Thing is I've stopped for such a long time writing it, I can't seem to be inspired to pen down something disorganized and cool and finish the story... *sigh* Also, I have been away from userfriendly for so long, I would definately need some time to adjust to the crazy people that comment on the stories. Oh. to UFies that happen onto this: No I haven't forgotten you. I'll probably be moseying along your way soon. Watch out... I'll be lurking...)
Please excuse me, I'm just an ignorant non-native english speaking buffoon, but what the hell does "jumping the shark" entail, and how did slashdot jump the shark?
Other than some ridiculous mental imagery (jumping on sharks? eh? *shrug*) I have nothing with this metaphor/proverb/whatchamacallit. Please clue me in.
They work. They might be a bit cumbersome and crude, but if you have worn glasses and/or contacts all your life, you're probably used to it already.
The other fact is that I (nor anyone else) knows what long-term effects these kind of treatments have.
I only have one pair of eyes. Glasses and contacts alleviate my sight problems adequately without doing something intrusive or irreversible. I'll stick with my glasses and contacts, thank you.
No, it failed because of braindead and utterly stupid upper management. Most companies die that way.
It's always the management that screws it up. Remember that. Read Dilbert. Understand it. Make it your corporate religion. Prevent falling on your face. Oh, and don't forget: laugh.
Apple could conceal two or three buttons under that one button and let people choose in software how many distinct functions they want.
Hey, now that's a clever idea. Apple? Are ya listening?
I never said anything about powerbooks and the like. I would have said "powerbook" instead of "Mac", but that's just context and a whole different topic:)
Buy a three button USB mouse, and plug that in your Mac. I have this Logitech Mouseman+ (the one with a wheel) and all buttons function and the wheel works too. No problems at all.
Oh, I'll bet Microsoft could rig an system without the graphics, network, most driver subsystems and the GUI stuff to skimp on overhead and winge their way to a higher number of parallel threads in less time.
Or they could just blatantly pay some other company that does "independant testing" *cough*mindcraft*cough to lie about it:)

In proper unix analogy: coffee | nose > keyboard .
Thanks for the laugh... I might use "life-enchancing" too.. it has a kind of ring to it.

"googles"? *grin* I think I know which search engine you use the most. You're not the first one to commit that fingerfart.
a hyperactive squirrel on the virge on overdosing on caffeine you mean. But yes, Cliff is wise. He's also handy. Check out his Klein bottles
Oh sorry... that green color of slashdot just LEAPED at me...
...and of course, happy birthday slashdot! (yeah yeah, reply to myself, sorry... Can't believe I forgot to congratulate the dot)

Check out the realvideo (yeah sorry) technetcast presentation here . It's refreshing, to the point and funny. And oh so typically Cliff Stoll-ian. :)
Gnu/Darwin
Will there be open scource software available for OSX?
Just scower off freshmeat or sourceforge and pick what you like. Most likely it will compile and work fine. When you don't want to hassle, try Fink.
Can someone develop an UI that doesn't piss me off, that will run OSX apps?
The GNUStep folk are working on that.
Here's some places you can go to if you fancy KDE more than Gnome (hey, tastes differ. Get over it already) :

After that, one could use 2.10.x after 2.9.x
It's just a number, like Linus said. I don't care much too. As long as the kernel works.
Alternatively, you don't even NEED a mouse to operate OS X, since everything can be accessed through key combinations.
