I'm going to make the presumption that you're ignorant, as Windows 2003, and to a lesser degree 2000, is pretty well known for being rock solid operating systems (the whole "only up for x days!" argument is circa 1999 and is very, very stale).
It's interesting that you say that the uptime arguement is circa 1999 and is very, very stale, yet you don't say that it's invalid.
Uptime equals availability. If your servers are up, your service is available. I'm glad you don't work for NASA with your "reboots are good for you" mentality.
Zero failure should be the mantra; reboots should be nothing more than a safety net.
If I'm not mistaken, doesn't XP's setup still run at 640x480x 256 colors?
Considering that the minimum system requirements for XP were vastly superiour to that, I won't hold my breath with regard to Longhorn's "superiour" graphics.
I'll be impressed if the setup program runs at a decent bit-depth and resolution. That would be my first indicator that they have faith in the users that will be using their OS - considering that it requires a 2GHz processor; I'm hoping they don't dumb down the VGA setup routine to cartoon graphics.
Bill, take a lesson from Tiger, would ya?
He simply produces "hole in one"'s with consistency. Hell, if nothing else, take a lesson from Apple's new OS release.
Wow upgrading a driver without having to reboot? Amazing! This along with alpha transparency in IE7 and a full-fledged journaling file system should launch Microsoft into a new age of technology, the 90's.
You linux Zealots all sing the same refrain with your vague posts:
a new age of technology, the 90's.
Try substantiating your comments with FACTS! Your post _should_ have read:
Go to the University. You'll get to work with some very cool hardware that you'll never get to go near once you're out in the real world.
For the real-world experience, pick up some consulting gigs (always found on bulletin board postings/flyers around the school campus). While I was in college, I did $3,000 in consulting work in a single semester and I basically paid for that semester and then some.
Also, try to work for the University's Campus Network (ours was called ACNS @ FSU). If you're just out of high school and have some reasonable experience/knowledge, it should be easy to land a job working for the university (which has it's own perks).
Don't skip out on College - it's actually a lot more fun than you might think.
I'll stick with my "Fair and Balanced" Fox News broadcasts/websites. Afterall, those evil Europeans are nothing but future terrorists and Christ killers!
Who do they think they are syndicating content without permission from US Copyright courts? [sic]
Except for the VW part. I love my Jetta. I tend to think that VWs and Apples have very similar corporate values (or at least marketing tactics). I was one of the first people to have a new Jetta (5 years ago), and it was a great feeling of being "different". Now, however, everywhere you look you see them.
In some ways, I'd almost prefer that Mac's remain less popular and more elite.
All of the talented techie people won't go near his garbage software company.
Sorry Bill. If you can't schmooze technology talent here in the US, you certainly won't be able to schmooze technology talent in the rest of the world.
You shit on them, don't you remember? Where were you when the rest of the world was asking you for help?

That blog seems to be sitting behind a diode.
A very sophisticated diode, that is.
Cool, I found the article; here it is:
x .html
http://www.cultdeadcow.com/cDc_files/cDc-351/inde
Deserves him right for posting a Phrack article from 97 (or somewhere around then, IIRC).
There's a better CDC (that's Cult of the Dead Cow for you young fellows) one out there, I just don't have a link to it.
It was actually a web-based tutorial, not a g-file (that's a text page to you young-un's).
Well said.
(I'm willing to burn my own karma on great posts [such as this one], so mod me down if you must).
I love getting morning emails from it telling me how well it did my job while I was asleep.
I wonder if this will appear in satellite imaging as an easter egg. ;)
I'd love to have been able to see it from a higher angle.
It's kind of confusing at first, but it's pretty powerful.

For the win.
Slam Dunk! Yeah BABY!!! w00t to the tenth power!!! Damn. The entire Linux veil has been pierced!
So Linux is now inferiour because a reboot MAY be required? You're making a point that you don't even realize you're making.
I feel bad making this equation more complex than it should be, but what about AODV routing (On Demand Vector Based)?
I ask because it's what car's and PDA's are going to use to route packets through their peers to their access points.
Sorry, but it's very relevant.
I suggest you get started soon. Because once your boss finds out that you're using his computers for trite personal projects, you'll be unemployed.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Sorry. My girlfriend is an attorney and I was thinking "per suit".
Yeah - that's the ticket!
You can easily bump up the performance of MySQL or Oracle using one of these drives for A LOT less
I too am very concerned about getting extended battery life while running Oracle 8i Server on my laptop (with mysql).
As for BitMicro, I received a quote from them for a 1GB flash HD, and it was around $990 USD.
No thanks. I'd rather use a CFcard with an IDE adapter. Granted, it's not quite the same; but it's certainly a more reasonable value.
Wrong.

He's married to MY girlfriend!?!

Being responsible and meeting the minimal societal requirement does tend to help one get a job.
Good luck with your search.
