Funny you should mention that, I drove out of my way a extra 5 miles last week to buy all the brake parts for my truck from "Auto Zone". I had two other stores nearly in my back yard but I will not buy parts from anyone else unless Auto Zone does not stock it.
If you want me to switch from linux to bsd that is the very last way to get me to do it. Do you expect me to want to run some software built and maintained by some arogant asshole like this. Linus on the other hand just builds shit instead of talks shit.
Not that I could switch anyhow since linux is way more scalable than bsd....I mean shit they just got smp for god sakes.
You may not like having to type self as the first argument to a function on a object. But then again any compiler that requires me to signify the end of a logic statement or code block with "end" or a curly brace or anything of that sort I find to be brain dead.
Actually yes I did just watch the video and no I am not impressed nor does it make me want to learn ruby. I know python which is a far more elegant and efficient environment in my opinion. Your comment about j2ee is correct nearly everything is more productive than java web development.
Hey I am a huge linux user but hey work had a obsolete mac they gave me so I loaded osx on it and test drove it. Well I quickly realized it is pretty much like loading up windows. You load it up and log in and you are greeted with a brain dead box with no software on it. Well unless you really enjoy using safari or the wonderful version of IE that it ships with. I have come very accustomed to loading a machine, logging in and being instantly productive with all the software I possibly need.... no thanks I prefer to own my software.
Sun means about as much to me today as MS does which is just about nothing. I don't need anything that either one of them produces and if I did I would just code it.
This ajax and ruby stuff
on
Ajax On Rails
·
· Score: 1
Hey this is all well and good but do you honestly believe that I really wish to learn ruby? Python does a simply smashing job for me and so does PHP.
Call me lazy but rails is not that great that I am going to invest time in yet another scripting language.
Although ajax architecture is the big buzz word because of google maps it is still damn messy to deal with from a programming aspect.
Now I am not a guy big on flash but take a look at a project with some potential like Lazslo. Now that is a great innovative use of a ajax type architecture that has some fantastic capabilities. Hell I just seen a tv ad promoting a application written in it....Lazslo not that is a innovative open source product....and no I have never even developed a lazso app but it exceeds anything I have seen thus far.
You know damn well the default start page is going to default to msn search and nobody is going to change it. If google was going be a leader and remain a leader it should have as I said all along been pushing firefox like a mad man. Instead they are about to learn the same lesson Netscape did the hard way. If the market share of the users have a msn search start page and I am a advertiser where am I going to spend my dollars.
I love google, it is going to be sad to see them go.
I can run many linux servers on a single box with UML but that ain't what I am talking about retard.
I am talking about running two database servers (mysql, postgres), corporate intranet, email, dns, app servers, order processing, application development etc all on a single two node active / active cluster.
Oh shit, yea I forgot to mention almost half the windows boxes we have are just sitting idle since they cannot even perform active / active clustering.
Considering you can only run a single piece of server software per windows box the sales should be much greater. Take your typical Linux or Unix machine, these things have far, far greater utilization. At work for instance we have three times as many windows machines as we do linux boxes yet the Linux boxes are handling ten times the work load. Not to mention the fact that we never run anything mission critical on a windows machine unless we absolutely have to. The typical machine load on my Linux servers are at or nearing better than 80% utilization.
Actually it still does not address the concerns of our IT manager. Hook it to a database and see how much that costs for licensing etc. On top of that it cannot possibly compete because the underlying operating system cannot perform active / active clustering and single image configuration. And even if it could perfom active/active clustering the cost would still be way too high, vs me downloading centos and GFS and bringing up a high performance cluster.
Slashdot Mirror
Sorry all I have is big iron boxes that require clustered file systems, so yes I do wonder "Why?".
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

How can linux have the top spot it does not have the ever so important utility dtrace.
And I am getting quite sick of astroturfing rental software users and developers on slashdot. Use whatever you want but I prefer to own my software.
Why, did I miss something, does it run on linux. I would not suggest my worst enemy run windows.
It has been released a whole day and no virus exploiting it yet? I bet the script kiddies are going to love the new functionality.

Ok so show me a big app that uses ROR, not that I am going to bother learning Ruby since it offers nothing that I cannot do with python.

Why yes it can and the dumb ass don't know the difference between screen scraping and stdio. I write him off as a astroturf myself.
Hey when you own the platform it only has to be good it does not have to be the best. It is a near certainty that google is in some serious trouble.
You know damn well the default start page is going
to default to msn search and nobody is going to change it. If google was going be a leader and remain a leader it should have as I said all along been pushing firefox like a mad man.

Wow the spy ware doodz can get real creative and own
100 boxes for the price of one.

Actually they may change it to owned not our.

You ever run active / active clustering with kimberlite and GFS file system on a dual path fiber channel san?
I didn't think so, go back to school biaaatch!
Besides what does network engineering have to do with server administration.
Oh quit talking out of your ass, I run hundreds of
thin client X terminals and never ever had even close to a problem with bandwidth starvation.

More Windows sales == Less Efficiency
