    this stuff is not some version 1.0 product. The base software is over 20 - 30 years old, it's very rare to see BSOD type situations.

    CICS applications seem pretty interactive to me.

    consolidating servers to save money. The horror!

    search for x3270.

    redhat includes it as part of the distro.

    especially considering that a large identity theft ring was broken up not too long ago.

  9. Re:Programmers *are* the problem on Has Software Development Improved? · · Score: 0

    then you have the problem of the translator producing crappy slow code. then you need programmers to optimize the code. you also have the problem of inputting the analysis. If your analysis is wrong, you still have to fix it.

  10. Re:Anything that KDE doesn't do already? on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 0

    so what is exactly wrong with Xfree? be specific. In my opinion, it is a excellent implentation of the X windows system.

  11. Re:I see on ATI Releases New Linux Drivers · · Score: 0

    There is a source wrapper that gets compiled. the main driver is binary only.

  12. Re:High Turnover Rates in the Near Future on Fewer Employees + Same Work = Higher Productivity · · Score: 0

    I've always been curious about bartending. It looks like it may be kind of cool.

    if you don't mind, can you post your experiences the next time there's a "the IT job market sucks" story on slashdot?

    first toast

    Cat got your tongue? (something important seems to be missing from your comment ... like the body or the subject!)

  16. Re:I don't get a few things in that article... on When Good Interfaces Go Crufty · · Score: 0

    My solution for this on windows and linux is to use virtual desktops.

    you have one for mail, a couple for browsing, some for VStudio/Xemacs/Vi.

    works great, and no taskbar clutter.

  17. Re:ALSA on Installing/Configuring ALSA Sound Modules In Debian · · Score: 0

    For those who like to get their work done, redhat does all this without any user intervention during install.

    you debian wankers can fart around if you want sound, but some of us like to get work done.

  18. Re:Why is this newsworthy? on Installing/Configuring ALSA Sound Modules In Debian · · Score: 0

    You don't want to be distracted by working sound after the install? Redhat 8.0 didn't prompt me at all with any sound related configuration.

  25. Re: Businessoriented employes(was:Lets not forget) on Managing Your Company To Death · · Score: 0

    Your probally thinking of having different LPARs on the same machine. The RS/6000 (p-series, whatever) do that now.

    you have multiple virtual servers running on the same machines. The technology has been in mainframes and as/400 machines forever.

    ( sun has machines that can do this too, I think )
