I am still trying to figure out why this was posted to Slashdot. I guess we can expect a story in the near future about how some guy is trying to masturbate in every store of some huge adult novelty chain.
IBM would probably urge you to use WebSphere instead of Tomcat, but they would not try to strong-arm you into using it. Once the support contract is written, IBM will follow it to the letter no matter what middleware is involved.
Remember, IBM is a services company. While they do make middleware, and it is their prefered platform, they will work with anything as long as it makes them money.
Most modern CPUs no longer "waste" spare CPU cycles like they once did.
If your CPU runs at 100%, you are using more power and therefore makes your electric bill increase. Therefore, when you run distributed applications, you are actually paying $$$ for what you are giving away.
In recent history, laptop CPUs have started throttling themselves and using even less power, and desktop CPUs will start doing the same before long.
Not that this has that much to do with grid computing...
Grid computings goal is usually greater utilization of your own resources...distriuted computing usually utilizes someone elses resources.:-) (I know, true and not true at the same time)
The reasoning behind this is the same as a company hiring a black-hat h/cracker to secure their systems. A person that knows how cause a problem is the best person to fight the problem.
I'm not really a coder or developer, although I know some perl. I believe this is rather a common occurance. The examples in books are there more or less to give a reference on how you should approach a problem rather than a real working example. I seem to remember reading a C++ book in college that actually said this in the front of the book.
Hey, at least you are catching errors. You are better off than the people that did not catch them.
All the hardware vendors that create TVs, VCRs, DVD players, receivers, CD players, etc... should get together and decide on some common protocols for their remote controls so that any one device can at least perform the most basic functions on any device. I suppose that would make too much sense, though.
What I do understand is I have not noticed RMS "asking" people to prepend "GNU/" to any other OS other than Linux (nothing that is very high profile). All of the sudden, after Linux booms, years after it's initial release, he wants Linux systems with GNU software to be refered to "GNU/Linux." It is sort of like the Music industry trying to convince people to not trade music online years after it becomes popular. A day late and a dollar short in my opinion.
The fact of the matter is: GNU utilities need Linux more than Linux needs GNU utilities. Replacing a bunch of utilities is a hell of a lot easier than replacing a kernel.
I understand the whole "Linux,GNU/Linux" controversy, but the fact it is GNUed mean you can take the source, rebrand it, release it, and call it "Pile of Dog Crap" and that was perfectly okay. I think someone is having their mid-life crisis.
Windows 2000 does not and will probably never support firewire networking. Microsoft wants you to use/upgrade to XP and adding features to 2000 is not conducive to switching.
I think Sony has other problems too. For instance, the Playstation2 as a game console is nice, but is severely limited as a "home entertainment system." Also with the PS2, the sony memory stick was around long before PS2 was introduced, but instead they decided to use a proprietary memory card and they charge you $25 USD for 8MB of RAM on the slowest possible interface.
I do not mind a company trying to make money, but milking their target audience for everything they are worth goes a little too far in my opinion.
"Blind" does not always mean "entirely unable to see." There is a legal definition of blind that says if your vision, as measured by a doctor, is beyond a certain point, you are legally blind. Legally blind people have to wear glasses to do things like drive.
In response to your first point, I think the old theme was used to signal a change in the TNG films. "Generations" and "Insurrection" were basically about saving some no-name planet or no-name people from something no one cares about in the first place; "First Contact" was more or less a continuation of the series. "Nemesis" was an entirely new story line and focused on saving Earth.
On your second point, if you change the title for a subset of movies, there always going to be a first movie in the series; in other words, how do you know there will not be more movies that continue the story line. ("The Search for Data":-) )
I thought the acting was great in the movie. The antagonist role was almost too reserved (usually a part that is over-acted in Trek films).
By doing this, you still have a single point of failure. For a hosting facility to do it right you need redundant firewalls, load balancers, web servers, app servers, and database servers. I suppose if you wanted to do it on the cheap, you could use the NAT features of iptables and give packets multiple destinations and use a heartbeat package to remove destinations that go down.
He's talking about WebSphere Edge Server, not WebSphre Application Server. While WebSphere is usually a reference to the java server, WebSphere is actually a family of products.

Great, that's all we need. An old blue haired lady driving a nuclear powered car.

WebSphere is in no way based on Tomcat.

I do not mean to be picky, but RAID-0 is not mirrored. RAID-1 is mirrored.
I do not know if anyone noticed, but IBM has released WebSphere Application Server 4.0.2 for PPC Linux.

You can be legally blind and have perfect vision with glasses.
