Hmmm. This whole OSS business is supposed to engender, among other things, choice.
Now, for various reasons, some geek, some pragmatic, some even business-like, I - a die-hard Windows user/programmer of over 10 years - am interested in Linux. Not to the exclusion of Windows, hoever.
It's not necessary to call us whores. Not all of us. At worst, there are the vast majority who think there is no choice, and they certainly need to be educated. But, having educated myself on the alternatives, I still choose to use Windows, and damned if I will apologize for it. If you want to convert the intelligent Windows geeks, (we're out there, lost in a sea of clue-bies) you might want to consider that we're worth a little respect.
By the way, I'm loading Mandrake on a virtual as I type this.
Oh please. I've used qutie a few development evironments that are memory hogs just as bad as websphere is ( I love websphere, by the way ) software bloat is not a java problem. you can easily make a bloated program in C++ or C.
by the way, when I load a empty project in websphere it takes around 100 meg.
I know quite a few cops and people just love to cling on to the image of corrupt cops from TV. most cops are cops because they do want to make a difference. They want the world to be safer.
OSX does not have developer tools available to it that linux does. not GNU tools, tools like the Intel compilier, Websphere (although eclipse is available for it).
OSX is nice but it doesn't fit into the average enterprise environment yet.
Do you know what NUMA is? NUMA systems are where you have seperate processor/memory boards that look like one machine. a 2 way Opteron machine is NOT a numa system.

actually MVS, OS/390, and zOS are different. zOS is a 64 bit OS and MVS and OS/390 are 31 bit.
too bad it is wrong on the stations in the city where I live
that is not enough! 21 inches per frame!

you heard wrong. the bytecode is compiled to machine code for java and C#. that is what a just in time compilier is.
are you kidding? a G5 is a dumbed down POWER4
not to mention that you loose the ability to run a whole lot of proprietary software if you choose apple.
I don't want to start a holy war here but how is it with 12 meg files?
angry about failing your devry cobol class?
the unix ports of notes used a win32 -> x porting layer.

dbus is designed to work with kde and gnome. there are QT and glib bindings.
the rock and roll hall of fame is in Cleveland.
my mitsubishi diamond pro (trinitron tube) monitor will do 1920 X 1440@74 hz and looks great, even with a matrox g400.
i love all the screen space!
perhaps the server serves up X sessions to thin clients?
still mad about that speeding ticket?

how many cops do you know personally?

Feel faster is not worth the time. If I labeled the rpms with a *686 in the name and compiled for i386 folks would claim it is faster.
if they do that, then they have 4 copies ( i386, i586, i686, athlon ) of each RPM.
If you read the mailing lists, you'll realize that the parts that benefit (kernel, glibc, openssl) are compiled for i686.
anthing else is a exercise in gentoo masterbation.
Yup. Except it won't crash when it reads invalid data
then the companies move to Canada/Mexico/ some remote island and you get no tax money at all from them
thanks for correcting me.
