"but (like much of the industry) doesn't think Linux has any business as a client/workstation OS" I think HP has conceded that the OS is stable enough to run a piece of equipment that gets quite a pounding all day long (print server). All they are waiting for on the client side is a pretty desktop, easy install and a "Windows compatable" compatable ofice suite (with a pretty front end and easy install)
it is my understanding that the new box is an actual print server IE: the jet direct boxes will talk to the print server, the print server will comnnect to the Novel tree/NT tree adn get the spool jobs. this should eliminate the load on the Novel and NT servers, so they stop crashing, but not the JetDirect boxes. the JetDirect boxes seem to do well enough if they pull from a network Q. if you are printing direct to the box, I can see where you would be crashing.
Linux is not ready for prime time yet. This chunk of plastic is VERY interesting to me as our IT manager came in the other day adn told us that HP was puting out a new "print server thingie" and I was suposed to check it out.. arives tomorow. hopefully to help eliminate Novel server crashes.
"When they banned it I spent hundreds more per month in bars" On what? did quitting smoking turn you into an alcoholic? I'm not a smoker, but come on here people......
Well, Linux is free, therefore if MS was charging for Windows, The consumer was getting ripped off.. but if you turn that around,.. Linux is free, so it must be a better deal.. wait I'm confused.....
So what the hell is up with California? They seem to be the Feel-good state. If there is anything hurting someone (smoking in bars..) or the enviorment (most restrictive polution laws in the world.., they wil be the first to jump on it. I agree MS needs a little slap now and then, but what are they starting and where is it going? Who else is going to inevetably drawn into this? The point of this ramble is this: Will this set a bad and permenant precedent for action on all future software production?
"these things may have been pushed out the door a little bit too premature."
Bake for 15 minutes at 65 degrees C. rotate, and bake for another 15 minutes. let cool and remove from pan. I find it unbelievable that Intel is pushing so hard when they are already unable to keep up with supply/demand for processors that my mom and dad will never own software that require half the speed. Slow down. put out a stable product.
Found a few articles on this already and the problem seems to be related to Intel releasing chips they have intentionaly over-clocked. I wonder if anyone has tried UNDER-clocking these a little to see if the stability will improve. What about kepping them ice cold??
I can understand this. Looking at it from Sun's point of view, I would want to find a fix before someone blabs and everyone starts freaking out. Many hackers do the same thing "you have 2 days to fix your site before the world knows bla bla bla..." taking 18 months is a little strange though.. but the basic idea of preventing a support nightmare, I agree with.
I still have my textbooks from my breif stint in tech school. They have proven to be increadibly helpfull as refrence materials, and for teaching the kids. are we coming to a time when we are esentialy going to have to pay "maintenece" cost just for trying to retain knowlege we learned?? how many people remember EVERYTHING they learned in school?
If everything folows it's proper course and history repeats itself, someone will now start writing articles about how clueless Hollywood is, but it will not affect the ruling comming down by judges that are just as clueless. someday, these people WILL look stupid, but the legal damage will have been done by then. Someone hire Jonny Cockrin (Cochrin Cockring.....whatever)
OK, so i had just awakened from a particularly bad dream, hair still all a mess, and thought to myself.. why not sit down and go on line for a while...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Could they have used the word "Tarantella" once more in their propaganda?
Personaly, I am fed up with the derth of "Corp Talk" we have been seeing lately. There are too many company's with vauge buiseness goals, no visible product and and no leadership. Could someone explain, in plain english, just what these people DO? I get the sense many of these companys are just yaping dogs trying to make themselves look important by spewing imposible to understand press releases.
I think he came prety close, especialy with the underlying archatecture, but the thumbprint/biometric secrity and voice recognition are going to be a hard sell. the biometric scanners are prone to dust/dirt and if you are anything like me, that could be an issue. the voice recog? well who wants everyone around them to know what they are doing and when? Listening to someone check their voicemail through speakerphone is anoying enough already. (out loud)www.persiankitty.com.....yes i am 18...ect...
"knock Knock"
"Whooos ThEEre"
