  1. Re:what about vxfs on Linux File System Shootout · · Score: 1

    Yea what is so good about it, on solaris it is cluster capable on linux it is just yet another file system. Besides that it is veritas and I have not found a single good thing to say about these guys and linux support. Hell even the backup exec agents are unix and still not supported by them. I would not buy anything from these guys again, they talk the big linux game but I see very little results.

  4. If I only knew that sco had shipped my code on Notes From The SCO Roadshow's First Stop · · Score: 1

    If I where to find out that SCO shipped anyting that belonged to me I would have already filed a lawsuit. I would probably just opt to defend myself and the measly 10K or so that I would soak them for would not be worth the time. Only a retard would allow them to violate the GPL and not collect on it.

  6. Re:Price / Performance on Apple's Dual 2GHz By The Numbers · · Score: 1

    Actually the 1's and 0's throughput on the pencil would be rather poor. I think the pentium and perhaps even a G5 would beat it. Smile and run your Mac my friend, at least it is not windows.

  7. Price / Performance on Apple's Dual 2GHz By The Numbers · · Score: 0

    Well ok it is a fast machine but what is the price performance marks for this vs the fastest alienware box. I am willing to bet that the alienware box smokes the pant's off of it for price vs performance. Not only that but the alienware box looks even cooler.For myself I would go for the amd64 alienware box which has a rather attractive case and price.

  8. HP Just annonced 25K$ for sun customer switch on Merrill Lynch Rips Sun · · Score: 1

    HP just released some press saying they will pay sun customers 25,000$ to switch to Linux on HP. Damn that sure sounded like the last nail being pounded into the coffin.

  10. They must have read something different than I on CCAGW Misreads Mass. Policy, Open Standards Generally · · Score: 1

    No where did I see MA saying anything about anybody being excluded from anything. I saw writing to the effect that they wanted to support systems based on open standards and open file formats and such. MS, Borland or any other BSA member can choose to play or not to play. Now of course their business models do not support this but who's problem is that?

    The data belongs to the people of MA not a vendor.

  11. Re:Wrong. on South Korea Jumps To Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    That is exactly what most of us here on slashdot want you to do. You stick with your W2K half assed closed platform while the rest of us cut you off at the knee's. Say you walk into a customer and throw down your cool web app based on the great .not platform. The customers first reaction is going to be shock when you tell him he will need a sql server oh yes with enterprise licensing and on top of that a web server that will need to be patched daily and need to have a ton of ram just to run windows. Now being the coool assssed linux developer that I am I am going to go to this same client and say here buy my solution and hell I will throw in the database and web server in for free with no licensing.

    Bottom line is you just lost that deal, guaranteed.

  13. national security risk on China Prepares To Examine MS Windows Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I cannot even begin to think how large a US national security risk this is. Our military is highly dependant on MS systems. To have foreign nationals peering at the code that runs your military systems is just simply unnaceptable. Having source to the system does not necessarily cause a breach but it sure does help. Proprietary operating systems are a national security risk and should be treated as such.

  15. This is very simple on Linksys Still In Violation of the GPL? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Cry, Bitch, Whine and moan but if you do not want to play by the copyright authors rules don't use the code. I see a vocal few that complain about the GPL, for them the issue is simple if you don't want to play by the rules write it yourself.

    Can you hear me now?

  16. MS would never pay someone to change on Windows 2003 takes 5% away from Linux · · Score: 1

    Don't think for a minute that MS would not feed someone alot of money to make the transition free if not totally paid for plus perks.

  17. In the end it will not matter on Windows 2003 takes 5% away from Linux · · Score: 1

    Take a look at all of the great GPL web projects using LAMP. The applications will dictate the platform. MS always talks about intergration but linux apache provides the most powerful integrated platform for web applications, period. MS developers work in a closed loop system and have no pride for a product that they do not own. Keep building linux solutions and they will come.
