That said, sun hardware is generally rock solid, and getting solaris x86 working is a PITA.
Depends on your hardware.
If you have intel-everything, then its as simple as dropping in the CD, following the prompts, and you'll get a working system in 1-2 hours.
The less intel, or 100%-intel-compatible, stuff you use, the more of a roulette wheel it is.
I hear that athlon, and even dual-athlon, systems work with it. but it depends on your motherboard, etc, etc.

you just THINK quantum entanglement is secure. But science doesnt really understand quantum entanglement, so it has no idea whether it is possible to observe methods of communication with it.
To the poster who complained about the sysadmins, how would you like it if someone came over and told you how to write that function or that you needed to use an unchecked string buffer in that method?
ba-hahaha.
I've done that sort of thing once or twice, when the developers have claimed adamantly that "there's something wrong with the system (aka OS)", and after a week or two of finger-pointing, I finally wade through their code and point out their dumb coding error.
and that automation happens via coding up a utility via Perl, or Pyton, Java or C.
If your first inclination is to reach for java or C to handle a repetative task for a sysadmin thing... you have "used to be/wanna be a developer syndrome".
The FIRST line of defense should be a shellscript. As in, "a language interpreted by a SHELL".
And do note that perl is not an official UNIX shell, either.
no, you CAN have 'cheapER, fastER, and better'. since the original was garbage in all three categories. You just cant have all three of "fast, good, cheap" on the absolute scale.
The reason for this being that, for whatever product you think is "fast, good, cheap", someone can always throw out the "good" part, and do it for less money. or at least, less effort, which is a part of properly computed "cost".
There is a difference between "corporate IT overlords", and competant yet cautious system administration.
"corporate IT" in general, has its goals "reduce cost of system administration". which means, "how can I dumb down the systems, so that I then then deploy the DUMMEST TRAINED MONKEY I CAN FIND in the position of 'system administrator'"
On the flip side, there are competant sysadmin administrators, who know how to both keep the system locked down, AND help the developers do what they need to get done.
Unfortunately, the latter are extremely rare in large corporations, given the bottom line drive by "corporate IT", and particularly because the director of IT is some guy with a marketing degree, who likes hiring his cronies to report to him, reguardless of actual IT competance.
Just like in various other occult groups (such as RPGers), some things they find very hilarious indeed can make little to no sense to a normal individual.
Brings to mind the little video spoof trailer that is on the playstation 2 "Summoner" disk, of the RPGers.
Dang. trying to remember some one-liners from there, but it's been a while. and its a whole context thing.
Mordecai's faithful hound, and all that.
what the heck does it mean, that the students are on strike? How the heck can students be "on strike" for anything? they're not getting PAID to take classes.
now, they could be "demonstrating". but only WORKERS can "strike".
your textile analogy isnt particularly any good news for current software workers. The jobs were STILL LOST. The only difference is that the British companies stayed in business and kept making money.
Your mistake is in limiting your market to mexico. There is no reason to do this and act like the big guys.
first, make sure there is no "region lock" on your games. Then, pick up someone who speaks reasonable english, to do translation of your stuff (and works cheap;-) Then publish it world-wide.
If you really want to cut your costs, then, assuming you have only text to deal with and not speech, make a single disk and let the user select the language to be used. You can then have the same distribution center service everyone. But you might be better off having downloadable distribution for the US as well as physical. the "bargain bin" for software in the US can be even cheaper than $10, so the payoff in that sort of situation might be even worse than in mexico.
using the jpeg library as a counter example of solaris "badness", makes the rather poor assumption that the jpeg code is cleanly done in the first place.
When was the last time you actually bothered to do a price comparison??
Sun's x86 servers right now are durn cheap, considering you get dual SCSI drives, dual ethernet, etc, etc. Just as cheap as comparable Dell boxes, for example.
Replacing education with religious mythology and ideology is the most powerful way to instill hate and fear into children, and every major religious leader in the world knows it.
So, hate and fear, presumably come from a strong belief that everyone else is 'wrong', in your book?
Which means all "those" people, should be stopped?
well done. an excellent example of what is "wrong", with those bigoted, close-minded religious people.
It was EXACTLY as hard as I imagined. It's a good article,and I'm glad it was put up... but the editors need to have a reality check before putting in statements like that.
There is also the very real threat of revenge by an employee. If your business is failing and people absolutely must be fired to keep the company alive, warning them two weeks in advance is going to get your assets destroyed or stolen. You're going to put yourself at serious risk for those two weeks.
While this may be unavoidable, being a jerk about it, is not. If the company cannot, from a risk perspective, allow them to be employed for 2 weeks 'notice', the least they can do is given them a severance check for the amount the employee would earn over two weeks.

The "Linux XFree86 compatibility kit" ?
Err, no.
the *XFree86* compatibility kit. XFree86 runs on linux: it does not BELONG TO Linux.

If the app isnt running as root, you dont need root permission to trace system calls.
Unless your OS sucks or something.

The difference being, the Christian Americans arent forming together into terrorist groups, planning to kill as many other Americans as possible.
Sure, they're forming together into groups. but they arent committing terrorist acts.

No, NFS and samba are classic "server/client" services, not peer-to-peer services.
