"...Under Unix, instead, it's normal to have very little specialized programs and a powerful underlying system that will allow interaction between them in a incredibly powerful way..."
well, this got to be sorted out. I suggest both the KDE and Gnome ppl now straight away incorporate this functionality in their respective email client!!
We can't let MS get away with the funkiest viruses!!!
yeah, so what about Vietnam then??
Sorry, what has happened is terrible and utter sick but U.S. military isn't always perceived as the most humane outside U.S. NOt that that give anyone the right to do what has now happened but it might explain at least part of why someone went through great troubles to go though with something like that.
Yes, I know about some of the problem, especially the media cecorship. It's however not one of these US-hating countries that most poeple seems to believe all muslim nations are
Even better, Fire a gun at 10,000 meters (dunno how many feet, 30,000??) and see what happens when you blow a hole in the hull and the pressure drops rather quickly...
true, but why didn' tthey fork the source in to a desktop version and a server version. granted, they would have to deal with two different sources and so, maybe not defendable from an economic point of view, but from aesthetic point of view it would have been much better. mind you, my old company always ran the servers with the default MS provided driver, very crap - yes, but it ought to be fairly well tested!
Believe SGI had something like that that turned.mov files into ASCII pics. Never seen it working myself.
It was a little toy program that one of their employees had written in his spare time....IIRC
Indeed, the story might be true, but there's a certain 'pro-linux' feeling over it. I use both win and linux, the both have their uses. Just because I don't like MS as a company doesn't mean all their software is shite (quite impressed wth win2k actually). Mind you, can be quite fun to slag them off every now and again!;-)
If it's dodgy video drivers it pretty much MS fault, with NT 4 they moved them into kernel space ratrher than user space, just to speed up the video...
Well, good for NT workstation I supose, but completely uneccessary on a server.
mind you also doubt the down every 10th day. Sure NT4 isn't the most stable thing, but it isn't that bad. My old job had their server running for maybe 30 - 150 days between crashes/reboots.
IMHO, Linux do handle heavy load far better than NT4 though, dunno about win2k..
Well, I don't believe Java will ever reach the speed of c/c++, but then again 'good enough' will usually do: Just look at Windows;-)
From what I heard one reason for Swing being so slow is becuase of Sun, who really hasn't optimized the Swing libs much yet, hopefully it'll be better in the future...
So, this leaves me to wonder: Are you trying to suggest that I would magically have more time to code if I moved to europe?
Actually, I believe you actually *would* have more time over in europe. From what I understand Europeans do not work as long hours as americans do incl. overtime, etc, etc...
Now back to your point though, yes, the other guy seems a bit silly to me, one can't generalize like that. I bet it's more due to a cultural diff rather than a money-based one...
tada
oh, wish I had mod point, 'cause then I modded you up!
As mentioned though, the boos msgs can be handy while checking a crashing kernel. A -v switch should do it...
Slashdot Mirror
not neccesarily, I've done ASP (arg), PHP and Perl on a mac. Of course all code ran on the dev server, next to me...
Had cats all my life. Yes they're very friendly creatures AND a will of their own, now dogs....uh don't wanna go there... ;-)
on a 56K modem it's a rather big deal....
um... 2.4. releases are supposed to be stable releases... ok if this been in 2.5, but not in a 2.4....
"...Under Unix, instead, it's normal to have very little specialized programs and a powerful underlying system that will allow interaction between them in a incredibly powerful way..."
you mean pipes??
;-)
*FLAMEBAIT*???
oh, my... feel so bad....

Go to Malaysia then, muslim country. Very nice and rather peaceful IMHO...

oh wish I had mod points,you would get them all!! something of a mixure of funny/insightsful
"Could it be that the program is pulled from the HD and stored in RAM so it can run a lot faster than the HD would allow?"
nah, that's just one of those urban myths, IIRC...

Mind you, Linux utilizes lower end hardware far much better than NT. One reason they didn't wanted to do the Mindcraft test on low-spec machines...

Emacs kicks vi ass big time, always has, always will!

WEll, we are! At least on the Seven seas...

nice little troll!!
Quite hard to kill of linux now, dear.. Better luck next time...
