Gigen a recent post about linux games not selling (prob due to Linux boys&girls not wanting to pay for stuff, but I digress), and Yah00.com now running w2k/IIS5 on its front end I wonder weather this unix support will continue.
Now if they started running all this stuff in Java it would be way easier to port the apps between the free*nix, OS X, windoze etc..
for ADSL to get rolled to more than a few 'trial' exhanges in London.
By the time BT get around to it (they are rumoured to be dragging their feet so they can still get all the ISDN type installations done - more money) we'll have UTMS so everyone will be wireless and BT won't be able to sell the darn thing.
ok so now the Linux boys can get their hands on the M/F. But why, surely a cluster of 41,000 PC's will still be cheaper than buying a huge great MF and the gubbins you need to support it??
AND I'd like to know if anyone in the real world (ie outside of IBM's labs and Universities) actually use this for anything other than street cred points.
MF's are very expensive to run and even clocking up a few mins of CPU can cost the business huge amounts....
Just wondering why bother? apart from the obvious "because its there"
ugh on Solaris is only works with single processor machines(ok so you add add a script to run it which binds it to once processor). the install is a horrible and it fires up its own 'registry' so as to emulate the horrible thing in windoze
with the PowerMacCube with gigabitethernet and Mac OS X you'd have something wonderful that would make the Beowolf type architectures mindblowingly fast and amazingly small..
somewhere along the lines the digital stream will have to get to analogue so the vast majority of devices (TVs) can display it. Even if the display is fully digital, there's no end to end protection. ergo I can copy it at some point in the datastream...all it does is give the movie studios some false sense of security (which is worse than no security at all IMHO).
'I' can physcally replicate anything, its down to laws and policing to stop piracy, not some half arsed technology. (clothes have the same problem, its not just 'technology' that suffers from this problem). 'Security' is about technology, procedures and policy. If the policy isn't right you are screwed (ie certain governments seem to turn a blind eye to mass copying). If the procedures aren't correct you're screwed (policing those garage sales/car-boots for pirated goods - ie go for the big boys not the 'home' copier).
If the product's any good in the first place the vast majority of people will be honest and pay for a proper copy (assuming the price is fair - if its not the producer looses out), Stephen King's latest work will be an interesting test of this technique. If the legal owner of the product sells it at a fair price they sell lots, make money and cut out piracy. Why do DVDs cost so damn much - because the movie studios put a huge mark up on them, drop the prices and you can lots at a small profit AND dramitically cut piracy in one go.....

1) the problem only affect 400MHz CPUS with the 8MB cache
2) its a cooling problem
3) you can fix it by making sure that the CPU modules are properly tightened (torqued) according to the manual spec.
Yes they do loosen and need inspection every couple of months .
yes this has been all over usenet for the last year - see deja.com on comp.unix.solaris and comp.sys.sun.admin,
ya gotta remember that this is 'internet years'. IE it feels like a long time -> it must be years...
:-)
personnally I've been using the web heavily since 1995 (6 years) and it feels like a lifetime
more screen shots and spec etc at http://cube.ign.com/
Thats because OS/2 Ain't a unix....
It cam out of IBM/MS's attempt to do the next windows after windows 3.0. they argued at NT came out from M$ and OS/2 from IBM.
But heck, I just applied for a job as a Solaris admin and got: "Could you send me your resume in DOC format??" I sent it as a perl app instead.
seems similar to the job I just got - did my resume/CV in HTML with vim....nice and portable between companies.
It means I dont have to deal with sendmail.cfg macros
exactly why I use postfix....and still use 'pine'.
Personnally I like how SUN distinguish SUNOS and Solaris.
SUNOS is the core operation system (in the tradition sense).
Solaris adds value to SUNOS by providing X11/CDE/NIS+ etc to give an "Operating Environment", but still needs SUNOS as the core to provide services.
Sound like life immating art again to me The Chairman/The Most Dangerous Man in the world

I really think those guys (and the judges) should get out more - haven't they heard of laptops???

no
he means solaris 8.
SUNOS 5.8 is part of Solaris (which include CDE etc).
Like many things in life the version numbers are run by marketing..

IE on Unix,,,

ugh
getting involved, just to generate some fees.
I wonder if these guys are the same ones doing the the brain dead patent filings.
no wonder the courts are backed up..

100years maybe - the modern Olympics didn't start till 1896.

Like us in the UK are doing with petrol (gas) purchasing. (given that its around 90p litre in the UK against 26 p litre in the USA).
The way they'll see the pattern.
I thought IPv6 had something like this built in..or am I talking out my hat as per usual?
with the PowerMacCube with gigabitethernet and Mac OS X you'd have something wonderful that would make the Beowolf type architectures mindblowingly fast and amazingly small..

OK so what have happened if decorators's clearing out a room had found hundreds of porn mags?? Or even lots of books promoting devil workship.
10c says he'd have got fired...
same sort of material, different medium.
assuming they have phone lines, then yes it sounds like a possibility
