if you really want 5 9's uptime, that you know will work, you'll have to pay some $'s for it. good hardware, good software (not necessarily oracle, can be free too). don't go cheap if this database is for something important. The hardware is the most important part of the cluster.
we have 5 9's uptime on two load balanced pSeries unix machines connected to a nice pSeries database server (with a hot backup), expensive as crap but we never have to touch them. The machines can take a beating, unlike your old pcs with 300 megs of ram.
if your costs are more then your income you get into debt. if I live where it is cheap I can afford to have a car/family/etc. If my company paid me 10K more a year so I could afford a morgage in a more expensive area of town I would move.
FALSE: Why? because it still uses 2.4 kernel? Please! stability is the issue here. Purchase a RedHat Advanced server and you'll find it STILL uses 2.4. You cant please everyone all the time, but you can still produce a quality product with proven technology.
keep in mind that the latest version of redhat AS does come with the 2.6 kernel.
as soon as I saw you had to create a freaking XML file I stopped reading. eclipse can run junits without all the xml junk. java and XML don't require each other!
I wanted to move closer to work but the housing is much more expensive then where I live now (i Live in the city, my employer is in the 'burbs) I live in a small house, and the price difference is 40 - 50k.
somebody should tell dumbasses like yourself that cheap PCs just don't have the reliability and IO power of a mainframe. the big businesses like banks, etc that have vital systems that run on 'frames don't mind the cost because they kknow what they get.
just like fucking walmart that forces you to enter your pin for debit purchases (won't let you use them like a credit card). I hate that. the last thing I need is for the lowlife behind me to watch what I key in and mug my ass after the show.
what happens when I buy it? should apple tell me what I can do with it? hell no. according to your logic, If I buy a sony TV, the movies sony sells should be the only movies I can watch on it
so, since i'm living in the west I should cripple my economy so that developing nations can catch up? Overseas manufactuing is cheaper already because of the lax environmental and labor regulations, why not give them more advantages?
If everybody played by the same set of rules, it would of gotten support. instead, developing nations where given a free pass to dump as much shit in the air as they wanted. that's why kyoto tready was a bad idea.

google's solution only works because they don't care if nodes fail.
Cool, I thought sun kit had to do it in software because because the x86 version of solaris does zones.
good job sun.
it is at the hardware level instead of the os level

maybe because the servers we run are not in our parent's basement and need to be supported by our vendor's software?
you have some big ass pockets if you can sleep in them.
he can't let something like the facts get in the way

although I've run into some annoyances with junit, I've done my best to campaign for testable code at work. too bad nobody wants to write it.

yeah, and tell us that every data problem is the same as google.

you get what you pay for. you want high end, very reliable, then you have to pay for it.
personally, I like struts a lot. struts isn't that bad to get running. I work with folks that can barely spell java and they have no problems with it.
I do agree, tons of XML files are a pain in the ass.
only men are in the self hating category right now.
nitpick, but don't you mean welcome to survival of the fittest?

screw that.
the enterprise versions are supported for 3 years. fedora is just a testbed, most of the folks that use it (including me) realize this.
if you want long term support, buy something that has it.
If everybody played by the same set of rules, it would of gotten support. instead, developing nations where given a free pass to dump as much shit in the air as they wanted. that's why kyoto tready was a bad idea.
when they find the slashdot reading gene, we are all screwed
