When I travel in Europe I have to bring a windows thinkpad running AOL to get TCP/IP juice from wherever I'm at. Now I can get around with my 240 running 2.2.14. For me this is a great development.
They ran the tests through ODBC, meaning that the performance of the driver (or lack thereof) becomes a huge bottleneck. All this benchmark tells us is that Postgres has a well-optimized ODBC driver. It says very little about the underlying performance of the RDBMSs in question.
In the second paragraph they removed the insane bit about lack of file managers, and replaced it with this: 'Although Linux already has a pair of evolving GUIs -- KDE and Gnome -- neither is anywhere near as easy to set up and use as the Mac OS or Linux.' Huh? KDE and Gnome are harder to set up and use than Linux? Because of the command line? Methinks they meant windows.
Awarded what? "To Award" is a transitive verb, and thus requires an object. One doesn't just award, or even award to. One awards something to someone. Why do I bore myself with such pedantry? Because Slashdot is becoming so dull and jejune that there's not much else to comment on. So let's all pick on Slashdot's never-took-a-writing-class style. And then wonder what site will replace Slashdot? Ars Technica?
Ah, herdmember, you think a little too much in terms of "normals" and "freaks". Your nasty, bitter tone ("idiots", "freaks", "in the conference room laughing" at folks being gassed) reminds of the way Dan Quayle used to describe his experience of the '60s -- he couldn't understand why all the "freaks" got all the attention, had all the fun, and screwed a whole lot, while he towed the line in Law School unrewarded. I'm sorry you're not having as much fun as the others. Perhaps you should run out and put a brick through a windshield... sounds like you'd love it. Maybe you'll get that girl who ignores you now. Maybe you'll start caring about the very real geopolitical issues that today led thousands of people to protest under your conference room window.
It's obvious that free trade, unchecked, can have disastruous effects on the environment and developing economies. Well I'm way over on the east coast, so I've no chance of joining in the action. Is there anything that we can do remotely -- have the various organizations who have joined the protests developed an online forum? As reported by the BBC today, the net is useful not only for organizing the effort, but also for disseminating the message.

Ever notice Amazon's tabbed top-level navigation?
He's talking about mapping memory to files, not files to memory.

apple. Which makes some sense.
Guys, It's Ballmer, with two 'l's.
