The difference is that the newer kernels support a lot more hardware and are much more scalable then the older kernels are.
most people (linux people seem to fall into this category) who bitch about bloat don't realize that there can be a good reason that code base increases. run linux 1.2 on your damn 386, I want to be able to take advantage of a large address space, development tools, and other things that allow me to be more productive.
yup, being technical means you want to fuck around for days and days before it works. some folks don't need to waste hours trying to get something to work to feel smart.
he also said I used to run my own server on AIX on a pretty fast RS/6000 and it was rediculous. I finally replaced it with a slow Duron with Linux which ran abour orders of magnitude faster (and cost about 1/20 of the RS)
that is what I was calling BS on. As far as linux being faster on the same hardware, I can believe that. Twice as fast, well that is less believeable.
yawn. LCD monitors still can't push the resolutions that CRT monitors. my Diamond pro 2020u monitor driven by an old matrox g400 can go 1920 x 1440 and the monitor was less then $1000.

That would be terrible! If they steel the music, then nobody will be able to listen to it!
the cvs environment at sourceforge sucks badly. most likely it is something they fucked up and not you.

read my message. the STATUS page not the order page

Funny you mention that, I bought a dell computer a couple of weeks ago, and the damn order status page was constantly not working.
Polls? I guess my produciton servers have been up 10,000,000 days then =-)
you can discover uptime through os fingerprinting? (i'm not being sarcastic =-) ) that's neat.
Many operating systems wrap the uptime or don't report it to netcraft.
you agree to the Terms of service when you signed up. If you don't agree with them, go somewhere else.
Short Circuit: can you hear me now?
Verizon techs: WE GET SIGNAL

perhaps because the OS they bought that became OSX used display postscript instead of X?
C++ still suffers from some of C's problems, such as no garbage collection without special libraries.
if microsoft attacks mono with patents, i'm sure Novell has a couple in their hands that they can hit microsoft with.
that was back when HP actually gave a shit about customers.

What a bunch of crap. how old was the RS/6000 and what was the model? how much memory did it have?
you can buy yourself a new desk with the money you saved.
nobody can stop it because nobody can install it.

you mean this?
I work on a huge internal application, we use struts everywhere.
a well written struts app is very easy to find your way around, especially if you use a good ide.
is one config file that hard? or 2 if you include web.xml.
i maintain a very large struts application and struts has made everything maintainable.
shouldn't that be sleazy come, easy sco?
gee, in java I just use a different connection object that about 99.999% of the code won't change.
