we have several large power 5 servers where I work, as well as mainframe systems. when you have a platform where virtualization is part of the architecture and not an afterthought you don't even know your on a shared box. when intel and amd add vituralization to their chips a lot of folks like myself will love being able to run winders/linux/bsd whatever at the same time on one PC.
that's a nice except that even if you did take over the countries, you have to deal with the nutjobs that like to blow themselves up. if you invade out of malice and not with some facade of a reason, it'd be worse because you wouldn't have at least some local support.
disclamer: yeah I initially supported the iraq war, but now that i Look at it, they couldn't of done a worse job handling it.
The reason it was developed was that it presented a solution to cross platform feature parity. they had lots of bloat from having to use native controls, at the same time they have a wonderful rendering engine. So the throught was, concentrate on the rendering engine, and allow it to draw all the controls. that way they can isolate the native controls to one library while keeping the rest of the browser as cross platform as possible.
This has the nice side effect of letting you port to other windowing systems (toolkits) easily, because all the platform specific code is in the renderer.
The processor in that mac mini is way too slow for the amount of money your going to pay for it, once you load it up to make it more then a conversation piece, the price is too high.
it's a nice little box, but the processor is way to slow.
no, programmers who actually want to not live in their parent's basement use the language that will keep them employed.
i've been programming java for quite a while and it's not as bad as you language snobs claim it is. It reminds me a lot of the folks that became linux haters when it became popular. it's not high school anymore guys, you don't have to hate the popular folks anymore.
You don't need a framework to develop java web apps either, but it makes it a lot easier for somebody else to maintain your code later.
somebody said it earlier, PHP is the BASIC of the web. I'll add this: it's easy to develop in, but absolute ass when your application is large and you need to bring people up to speed on it.
the thing with clearcase is that you need people with a clue running it. no "learn clearcase admin in 10 days" morons can run it. CVS only works well for small projects, but you can't move files without hacks, you can't rename files and keep history, the merging sucks, no atomic commits, etc... we have hundreds of users across the country and world on clearcase, with clueful people running it and I would never go back to freaking CVS.
i'm sure the $10K training was to learn to administer the server. clearcase (UCM) is really not that hard to learn.

if you've ever maintained a large piece of software written by 'clever' programmers you'll agree with sun. operator overloading gone amok is EVIL.
I'm sure it has it's uses, but my 7 years of experience tells me that maintainable code is easy to maintain in the long run =-)
For simple one person projects, I can see why you prefer it.
try cleveland, there are several large places trying to recruit folks
I have one now, and moving to a better one. what city are you looking in?

i'm glad I don't have to type in strange commands in a mac to do stuff, like in linux.
see this post to see how to block it
can the mini play HD? I didn't think it had enough power either.
freaking whales want to get revenge for all the sonar activity.
I didn't say it was perfect =-)
using adblock and squid let you use regex expressions. some sites serve ads from the same servers as the content.
use adblock or squid to block the following items:
*images.slashdot.org/*.js
*images-aud.slashdot.org*
*an.tacoda.net*
*falkag*
lots of funcky js gets loaded by slash by default. I block all this shit and slashdot loads twice as fast.
don't let facts get in the way of a standard slashdot cliche post.
why is there so much dell hate here? they support linux pretty well.

because going 64 bit only gets you a large address space. the 64 bit binaries are twice as big and use twice the memory.
looks neat, except for this quote
Up to 20 times faster than Virtual PC on a Mac. It uses Apple X11 technology to deliver Windows XP super computing technology without the headaches!
supercomputer? ha ha ha
the truth is flamebait. lovely

that soap/xml-rpc call has overhead associated with it. JSPs aren't that bad to code with, and everything can be a local function call.
did it ever occur to you that some folks don't like to type a lot?

Wasn't FreeBSD the only other operating system Microsoft ported C# to?
they planned to are those plans still alive?
Didn't Hotmail run for a LONG time on FreeBSD?
they no longer do. if FreeBSD is so great, why don't they still use it?
Doesn't Microsoft use BSD code in their operating system?
telnet.exe and ftp.exe is really not a good example of bsd code use. they used to use the TCPIP stack but have swtiched to another one.
