Exactly. IBM gave an S/390 to Telia for free without any consultancy at all. Guess you can't make money with Linux. Since Intel and Cisco are laying off 5000 employees each you can't make money in CPUs and routers either.
You don't pay high taxes. That is a lie perpetrated by the super-rich owners of the media in order to get their tax rates lowered.
Of course if you want to talk about a waste of money, I'd like to direct you to 'son of Star Wars' - designed to neutralise a non-existent missile threat.

So you 'just' install Windows2000 then. Ha! I suggest you do a search on Windows 2000 implementation plans, it's a lot more than just putting in the CD and installing.
MandrakeUpdate does it, and I believe SuSE and RedHat have something similar. RPM is a uniform format, although you have to get the right ones for your distro, just like you wouldn't necessarily be able to install software that runs on Win9x on NT/2000. What's Vacation anyway?
Whoohoo Microsoft have produced a fast and stable OS. Shame we've had to put up with 26 years of garbage before they finally managed it. Dissing Linux is silly. If Linux wasn't snapping at Microsoft's heels nothing would have changed.
Until some old lady in her Volvo makes a mistake and you spend several months in traction. I used to be a biker until it nearly happened to me. I'm self-employed, I can't afford loads of time off (the insurance only kicks in after 13 weeks:-( ). My Fiat Coupe Turbo isn't quite as fast as a bike, but only supercars can beat it and I'm not at the mercy of the elements and the moronic drivers in my area.
Except that they are a totalitarian monopoly that will take years to move. When you're a monopoly you can do anything to your customers and they can't do a damn thing - like British Telecom over here in the UK.
Although DB2 on a mainframe absolutely creams Oracle on Unix, so is the only real option for large-volume batch processing. Rexx/DB2 is just as good if not better than PL/SQL and
DB2 has had stored procedures since v4, but I'm not sure what the other 2 are though, so maybe you could clarify.
Although I'm just a mere home user, I've contacted various OSS developers on problems with the software they wrote and got the exact reply I needed to fix it. I've been in IT for 12 years and have dealt with the likes of IBM, Compuware and CA, and despite having problems with their software the answer varied from disinterest to slightly helpful. You need to be someone like Citibank before corps give a damn, whereas the OSS guys prefer their software to be working for as many people as possible.

Only if the Russians decide to re-elect a man so hated that he is currently under 24 hour protection. Vladimir Putin is the current president.

So much for the paperless office.
Except that you can't get the nice cheap hobbyist version anymore, only the quite expensive corporate edition.
This is what you're looking for.
In other words hardly any, and no credit card numbers were taken.

Because it's not the l33t gibberish so beloved of men who don't bathe regularly.

I think you'll find that it's called Mandrake and it does all this already.
Only if you think that all advances in science happen in the US.
Linux is now easy enough for an old mainframe COBOL plodder like me. Not long before the home market now :-)
Sort of like Microsofties getting excited about Microsoft finally producing a stable OS after only 22 years of trying.
How about a COBOL version - probably the longest DeCSS app yet.
I believe you can also be sued for debugging Perl code under the DMCA.

Were S/390 machines banned from this test? SQL Server 2000 on shitty x86 hardware beating DB2 on the best platform for I/O. I don't think so.

All AOL clients are trivial - that's the appeal.
All your bases are belong to us too.
