When they say "BSD" Linux, they are referring to *types* of Unixes. If you haven't heard, there are two main branches of Unix: BSD and System V. Not a lot of differences, but they are not speaking of the BSD you are thinking of (i.e. not FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.) They are tlaking about a system type.
This dates from 1992:
>What is (are) the fundamental difference(s) between System V and BSD?
The only true fundamental difference is that System V is a for-profit
venture and must therefore sell whatever people want to buy, while BSD
is a research vehicle and must therefore provide a base on which to
write papers.
The result is that System V has lots of features, costs a lot, and is
comparable to many other commercial systems, while BSD has lots of
*new* features, eventually drops old features that turn out to be
useless, and does not cost much. Unfortunately, since BSD was originally
based on AT&T's `32V' Unix, you need an AT&T source license to buy BSD
(which is sold only in full-source form).

Mod this poster up. He is correct. The Slashdot editors have done a repeat (that included another repeat in the summary!), and have managed to get the facts wrong, twice in a row now!
i agree with you except for your statement that there will not be an Xbox2. I disagree. Yes, the Xbox1 was pretty much a failure and was overhyped, and those that bought it now have a sour taste in their mouth...
but remember when internext explorer came out and it was a big piece of poop and netscape kicked it's ass? the problem is that microsoft is such a big giant that it can afford to have losers, because it really cashes in when it makes a winner.
I predict there will definately be an Xbox2, although I don't think it will be succesfull either.
That is interesting. I believe you, but do you know of any research that says what the actual churn rate it? I know I like to cancel my service within the first year. I always see a better deal. Now, I get a cell phone with no contract so I can jump ship at any time.
Yes, you are correct. I actually went to the store to probably buy an Xbox, then they told me I would need to buy 3 games + Controller to buy one. I immediatley said "Damn Microsoft and its evil tactics!" and didn't buy one and never will. The main thing I wanted one for was to play GTA3, but it looks like it will be out on the PC before the Xbox anyways.
It's almost like you walk into a store, and if you want an Xbox, they take you to a back room, put a blindfold on you, and tell you to bend over. Then, when you feel that 18 inches wringling up your pant leg, you KNOW you shouldn't have chosen microsof, but it's too late. You just take your raping and get on with it.
well, not me. I haven't bought anything Microsoft in a while, and am tired of the "little extas" that Microsoft throws in.
I do not use an ass gasket most of the time, because it really does no good. Yes, some big fat guy probably pushed quite a bit of brown out 5 minutes prior, but I am not going to get sick from his brown. If you think it's gross, you have a lot to learn about the microbiological soup that we live in every day.
there are mites in your bed, on your pillow, in your eye lashes, on your skin, etc. Litle bugs and bateria are everywhere. Thankfully, most of them won't hurt us.
So if it makes you feel better to use an ass gasket, then go ahead an use one. But remember that it is more for your mind than to keep your ass germ free. i personally just use common sense, and hardly ever get sick. I am not one of those people who worry about getting sick from a toilet seat. Your ass is just as dirty as anyone else's.
If you use an ass gasket, then the terrorists have won.
This is not true, and has not been trued for about the last two years. HP used to rebrand storage offerings, but in the last couple of years they have actually developed their very own, in house, Virtual Array series.
You are not correct. HP announced long ago that PA-RISC is going bye-bye in favor of Itanium. It will be supported for some time to come, yes, but no new PA-RISC architectures will be produced beyond the 8900 series.
This does not mean HPUX is going away, though. It runs fine on the Itanium, which you can purchase right now.
what do you hate so much about HPUX? I like it quite a bit compared to other unixes. And please don't tell me that linux is better... if you say that, then you obviously have no idea what application HPUX is meant for.
I am not trolling, but I find HPUX nice and easy to work with, and the hardware is well done.
I suspect if you hate HPUX, it is because it is different to you, but you really should get to know it.
Having used HPUX 11.20 on a Merced HP server, i was fairly impressed. It is pretty darn fast, although I didn't have a very recent PARISC HPUX machine to compare it to directly.
so even though I don't agree with dumping PARISC for itaniums, the transistion should be about as painless as possible.
the cool thing is you can get an itanium server, and run HPUX, linux, or 'doze on it all the same. That has to do something for the bottom line, and make it cheaper to produce.
PA-RISC was a damn fine platform, though. I will miss it for sure. Luckily, it's legacy will be around for years to come until all the older HP servers are obsoleted... which will be a while as they do their job just fine.
Yes. If you are us9ing linux, check out the install guide that is linked to on the download page. It shows you how to install is (easy) and then shows you what to do to setup your printer.
so far it has been printing great. I even used it tp type up a 10 page report yesterday for school, and I was very impressed.
HP is also supporting RedHat on it's new Itanium servers, and also supports RedHat with its mid-range storage arrays. They seem to be testing the waters, and I think they are doing all right for such a large and slow moving company.
Samsung is also supporting their printers, by offering Linux drivers and Linux phone support (minimal, but it is there). This is a good thing.
Qlogic and Emulex both support linux with some of their fibre channel HBA's.
So as you can see, you kind of have to pick and choose who you get our stuff from. The corporations are still in the "test the waters" phase for the most part, before they dive in to linux head first. They don't want to get burned by wasting money doing all the work if it will not pay off. In another 3 years, I think Linux support will be fairly mainstream as far as business server and workstation equipment go, but it may still be hit and miss in the consumer market (i.e. webcams, cheap USB scanners, cheapo printers, etc.)

christ. if you are backpacking, of course your cell phone probably ownt work. people should know that.
nothing like firing up a 5 watt 2-meter rig and hitting the autopatch when the damn cell phones don't work, though. 73.

No, you are not the only one. I have had it happen several times.

Doom had better graphics than wolfenstein, no question about it.
I liked wolfensten better because I thought killing nazis was better than killing monsters, thus I coulc play wolfenstein for hours.
Yes, I agree with you. Like Linux, more choices is always more better.
I hate to be AOLish, but "me too".

My fonts look great. maybe you should install some more fonts on your system? I would recommend installing a bunch of truetype fonts.
Yes. If you are us9ing linux, check out the install guide that is linked to on the download page. It shows you how to install is (easy) and then shows you what to do to setup your printer.

damnit! Sorry for leaving that tag open... I promise to preview my next post!
Linux support is kind of hit and miss right now with larger companies. For instance, HP is adding more linux support than ever to their printers, even the office jets, but if you go buy a scanner, they don't support it. Obviously, the community supports a lot of HP scanners, but not the company.
HP is also supporting RedHat on it's new Itanium servers, and also supports RedHat with its mid-range storage arrays. They seem to be testing the waters, and I think they are doing all right for such a large and slow moving company.

yes.
You are stupid. With a fan or two, this would be no problem. None of these systems get extremely hot.
