Definitely. Tivoli is such a pain to setup. TDI, TAM, iTIM, TEM...even the middleware is a nightmare of an install for a setup. Having to use Xming/Reflections for middleware component installation on an AIX box is just annoying....
I find it interesting that I have mod points at the time of writing this post, it's my first time having mod points. I've used one so far, but find it difficult to use them. It's because of one or more of the following:
A - I can see the post has some flaws in its statements B - I can see the intent, but also see the other side of the argument C - Most of what I see is already modded up (I'd rather find 2's/3's/4's that should stand out). D - It's not THAT big of a deal to me...
As a side note to the all enticing free-ness of open source software is it's ability to be reviewed/restructured within a peer editing environment (at the very least). So, imo, this whole notion of no criticism lacks any support.
Needless to say (but I want to anyways), I got half way down Keir's article and got..eh..tired of it.

Maybe they can join in the endeavors of Anonymous since they were gkicked, haha. I would protest more if it meant anything, but I digress.

Expect Apple to be suing them for patent, look & feel, trade dress, and anything else they can think of any time now.
Prior Art? What Prior Art?

Yea, no wonder Greece is financially dead.
