  1. Re:Only natural on VMware: Another Netscape? · · Score: 1

    windows does not have a VMS core.

  2. Re:Taking So Very Long on Plex86 Lives, As Lightweight VM Technology · · Score: 1

    I know that. I am telling you that linux can run in both modes, just like any of the other mainframe operating systems can.

    You can run linux in a VM or on an LPAR on a zSeries.

    I'm sure the response to this will be "buy a cluster of dells..." Which I will respond with: A cluster is not the best solution for every problem.

    DB2 a answer to dBase? have you ever used it? For big ass databases (terabyte size, not some 1 Gig on that holds crap for slashdot) that don't ever die and serve ass loads of data to ass loads of clients DB2 on a mainframe or a RS/6000 will leave the open source databases in the dust.

    ( yes, ass is a nice modifier )

    but they don't write that information to disk. It all goes away the next time the executable is run.

  8. Re:No mystery in IBM's interest on IBM Calls Linux "Logical Successor" To AIX · · Score: 1

    Z/OS (successor to OS/390,MVS...) has been maturing for over 40 years now. Linux hasn't had anywhere near that amount of time to mature, not to mention that the hardware that Z/OS runs on is designed to be reliable from the ground up. give linux 40 years any maybe it'll be as reliable as Z/OS is now. At this moment, it is not even close.

  9. Re:That's awfully Microsoft of them. on Slashback: Bankruptcy, SUVdiving, Singalongs · · Score: 1

    I doubt they developed anything. They simply bought the IP from novell, who bought it from AT&T.

    so people should give up their tools of choice and jump on to the newest fad language? Lots of folks (my self included) like C. It's got some issues that are a pain in the ass, but if you've written lots of it, you like it, and your good at it, why change?

  14. Re:Ownership on Open Source vs. Academic Dishonesty? · · Score: 1

    I would never sign away my rights to take a class. Luckly, different professors teach the same class at my school, so if a professor tried to make me sign such an agreement, I can tell him/her to shove it up their ass.

  15. Re:Fonts That Don't Suck! on The State of GNU/Linux in 2002: It was Good. · · Score: 1

    fontconfig is an open system. check out the fontconfig web site it is supported at the toolkit level ( QT, GTK+ both support it ).
