I suggest support the big ones plus a generic.tgz file. Do all our primary testing and development of SDKs on the TGZ first.
The big ones are redhat, suse and debian.
So in effect you're making RPMs, DEBs and TGZs. Let the TGZ be as generic as possible.
And if you're releasing its source code, please test it over PowerPC, AMD64, ARM9 at least, or let the sources be as generic as possible not tied to endianness or word size.
You do not work in a significantly sized company do you?
I've used Exchange and Lotus Domino. I can tell you its an absolute NEED. Managers themselves stop functioning when you take collaboration offline, and I'm not just talking about email.
I have a $20,000 server I'm itching to switch to ANYTHING on Linux/BSD/Opensolaris if I get the right collaboration software with a significant company backing it up with support.
At the last job, Lotus Domino and the ERP system were the only two apps that we needed which only ran on windows. It was the only thing holding us back from a 100% opensource company.
Hula when it was opensourced was very interesting. Now its gone and the need for a collaboration software is just greater. I only wish IBM opensources or at least releases a Linux version of their Lotus Notes binaries (I know domino runs on Linux, iNotes and know about the rare demo versions. They dont cut it).
Linux is almost there. There are some niche applications like collaboration that are holding it back, and Hula was a good hope.
Who in their right minds would pay-per-view for 92x64 bitmaps?
Teenage girls who have just been handed a cellphone by their fathers who need to keep a check on them.
Do you know how many teenage girls rack up $300 or more in the first month of their cellphone ownership?
If I owned a phone company, I would want to milk out this demographic as well.
I agree. I didnt think planned obsolesence mattered as much as cost and cost is a humungous driving factor in the design of many products.
Products are flimsy because they change too fast. Everyone knows you'll need a new computer in 5 years, so you wont look for reliability THAT much. You wont pay for a computer like you'd pay for a car or a house, because you dont think it'll be that valuable 5 years down the line. So you lower the cost. Manufacturers must then build enough strength into the product to last its warranty, which is more frequently 1 year now than 3 years.
Dont think of it as buying the product. Think of it as leasing it.
Going forward I see Sony increasing its quality further and screening its suppliers in a more tough way, at the cost of higher product prices. Indeed their products have high quality, but things can go wrong with everyone. Think of Apple, Nasa, Microsoft, Diebold, Nortel, IBM (deskstar), AMD and whoever are the makers of Duke Nukem Forever. Sony really must succeed with the PS3 and hopefully 4 years later I'll be able to buy a used one for $300. Don't care about the rest.
I go backcountry camping where gsm and fm signals do not get through. On longer trips lasting 3 days or more, I start getting anxious fidgeting my fingers on the canoe paddles. Its like a smokers withdrawal. I start wondering how will I read all those slashdot articles, all those missed first posts etc. Missing new deals on tigerdirect, sparkfun etc.
Have you even bothered to check the points of those sellers?
I did.
I would never buy anything from someone with less than 10 score.
Please understand. Noone wants to receive literature on PS3 for $700 because the fine print in the ebay post said this is not the actual item. I'd much rather pay $2000 to someone with a score of 2000.
You want to build a router, but you are looking for switch hardware.
You are asking for independent ports. If you need to route through each port seperately and not 'switch' data between ports but 'route' it among them then you need router hardware not switch.
See the thing with switches is that chips are available with 4 ports or 8 ports and it automatically switches data in ASIC between ports. Usually these chips cannot be interfaced to a microcontroller and almost never have PCI interfaces.
You do need individual ports, not a switched collection of ports. So you need something with 7 PCI ports (7x4=28). There are plenty of 4-port PCI cards out there, but there must be 8-port cards too. I have seen plenty of 6-port motherboards. You will have to use PCI extension devices to get to 7 or 8 ports unless you find those 4+ port ethernet cards. Do keep in mind you cannot switch between all ports at wire speed. You'll need faster busses and powerful processors. At this point you're looking at highly specialized hardware like cisco juniper etc.
It is inefficient to route between that many ports on a single CPU. Its better to cascade entire routers if your design allows it or add switches to routers with fewer ports. Unless you are a telco providing high speed connections to ISPs or a central location breaking the bandwidth for many branches, I dont see why anyone will need a router with 30 ports. In any application when you need more processing power, you'd divide the algorithm and use multiple CPUs or multiple computers. In this case you can almost definitely use cascaded routers if you need that many ports in the first place.
I have a Cisco 4700M router with 12 10-mbit ethernet ports. Never needed more than 3.
Visible from space means, visible from where the atmosphere effectively ends. Even in the lower strata, the buildings and the roads will also have to be visible for the logo to be visible.
Its really visible when you use zooming technology, in which case my house and care are already visible thanks to Google Earth as proof.
And plenty of company logos can be found going through Google Earth.
But you see its nice to know that on a camping trip, I can just scrape the rust off my car, put it in some water for some time, take it out with a magnet and drink it.
Anyone here knows if the body of a 93 Nissan Sentra has Mercury, Lead or anything bad?
There should be a global wiki for medical professionals searchable by symptoms.
The contribution weight of better/senior/more respected doctors should be higher compared to new graduates. The wide open public should not be allowed to write, but should be allowed to read it.
This way better healthcare will be available in poor countries with Internet access, people will be able to double-check their diagnosis online and better doctors will be able to make a name for themselves the way CowboyNeal has.
I'm pretty sure most slashdot readers visit other news sites too for non tech news.
Or maybe it IS tech related. The Internet will be more open in Iraq now? The choice of polymer rope will depend on his weight and the weather? US soldiers will return home now reducing the job prospects of geeks in the military?
Tell the 'people' to stop smoking the illegal stuff since April is far away.
The people should know that Microsoft knows Linux is their capital enemy and that if they lose the binary compatibility market, customers will simply choose the superior and free OS along with the free office suite. Microsoft knows thats bad. And the people are not in the know.

This should cover everyone out there.

This withdrawal really affects me.

So then are they providing twice as many part-time developers?
Come to think of it, is there such a thing as part-time developers?

I wouldnt do that.
For one, the majority of the ebay items arent real PS3s. Rather email addresses being sold for $1000 to angry customers.
Moral of the story: You can make more screwing with fine print than Sony can with liquid cooled 8-core chips.
I agree. I didnt think planned obsolesence mattered as much as cost and cost is a humungous driving factor in the design of many products.

Not so associated with quality now are we?
BOOM! Its a Sony.

I usually drive back 40 over the speed limit.

Why not just keep it in the ground with a hole at the top so people would just aim for it while standing up?
People needing privacy can pretend to sit down or lie down on the ground. The catch bag can then be pulled out and replaced.
I can make one for 1/10th the price. Give me a shovel.

And Gates the greenest man on Earth.
Thats what happens when you focus on getting the greens (Jeffersons).
I would suspect 98% being spam and domain squatters however.
And lots and lots of spyware.

Meh!
Let me know when they can do the JAWS theme.
Imagine swimming in Florida waters and just hearing the JAWS theme with fins approaching you...
The best thing going for Linus vs the rest is the fact that his name lives in the OS kernel. Thats all.
But then again, I wouldnt wanna purchase hundereds of 'Redhat Coxux' licenses for the company.

Yay.
Now all the Slashdot editors will have to find jobs.
I would suggest the same.
Flip a coin. Then think of what side you were rooting for when the coin was in the air.
Mogol really comes from Moghul which is Mongol in Persian.
As a Mongol/Moghul, I can say I don't know many 'media' Moghuls, least what is one to do.
Next: About tartars since we don't go into people's teeth.
He is the SCO marketing guy in a Linuxworld expo.
I'm pretty sure most slashdot readers visit other news sites too for non tech news.
