(sarcasm)It's amazing to me that a little old 2 sentace front-page story about a new release has sparked such a discussion.(/sarcasm) But then again, when the trolls come out, someone has to wave the fire in thier face.
BSD-Pat: you were wrong...you said/. only catered to what the majority wants to see...seems the majority knows thier BSD....so what's the problem?
an article about BSD _actually_ made it to the front of slashdot?! my gawd! perhaps today is a good day....
I think the averages are once every blue moon a BSD article makes it...other wise i just see them mysteriously appear in my BSD slashbox...I do belive there is some bigotry going on here....
whoops...NOT sun but HP and thier OpenMail system. sheesh.
And another thing...i bet 90% of you people who say exchange suck and crashes too easy have never really administered it. Dont get me wrong, BSD is my os of choice, but you have to give everything a chance before you typically flame it.
exchange sucks about as much as sendmail....yet...exhcnage does sooo much more than sendmail...and in some places soo much less.
ok so like this might be perplexing to you opensource freaks, but it's not to those who deal with MS products day in day out. I'm in seattle...and as you can imagine unix has little to no call in anything but high end enterprise like paccar, boeing, etc...
Basically it comes down to this, people want exhange. They dont know why, but they know they want it. Why is exchange so robust? (XCHG2K is hella phat, and even 5.5 was there) One word: MAPI connections. That's the only reason why it works so good.
So for all you anti-anything-but-unices, SUN has a HUGE MAPI compliant (amonst other things) mail server that is waaaay more expensive than exchange.
Me? Everything has it's place. In the Enterprise, MAPI has it's place, pop/imap only has it's place in the small-mid size infrastructure...but then even still MAPI is usefull there for collaborating...go ahead, share a calandar with 0 problems with pop3/imap clients (whoops! net folders suck in outlook, and the bulliten board dont cut it:P )
Well..it's now official...the internet is yet another place where comercialism rules. Is this new? No. But the realisation is.
You see, it wasn't so bad before...but now we have TLD's like.biz and such it's pure unedited comercialism. Marketing Drones around the globe are masturbating at the slightest thought of using these new TLD's to thier company's or client's atvantage to push more shit into the MTv ridden minds of teenybopers everywhere.
It's sad really, like i had said before (here) these 4 character TLD's go against the grain (and are lame anyways), i like the current (now obsolete) 3 character limit (some instaces 4 is acceptable, but on the proposed list it was insane!), it kept the shit simple...(Keep It Simple Stupid).
Yah wanna know what's more scary? all these company's that got these TLD's are suped-up fly-by-nighter's that promised some MS Millionaire 10x his weight in gold for some Capital...at least NSI didn't start off charging for domains...but then as with anything they became stoopid by thier own demise.
Well, I think i'll go propose to ICANN the.lame TLD and then give*.is.lame away for free to the lame company's of this world. (and if someone does this, i want a 10% kick back on any revenues for my Intellectual Property:)
someone shoot me before it gets lamer....:)
but wait!! my favorite! www.linux.is.lame, to be able to give out that address to someone when they wanted to see the linux page would bring me to golconda for sure...off to ICANN it is...:) (check out my flame-proof jacket baby)
To quote the article: "BSDi's four product offerings support both Intel and Sun SPARC technology and are developed from the BSD/OS code. They include Free BSD, Net BSD and Open BSD as well as BSD/OS."
what the hell? perhaps i missed some earth-moving mergers, but since when did the big bad BSDi own Open and NetBSD? The article makes it seem to the laymen that they own all the distro's...We all know that the modern versions of all the Distro's spawned from 4.2BSD-Lite...but am i wrong to assume this was given by UCBerkeley, and not some newly formed company called BSDi?
Damn the mdeia!
fwiw, i hate BSDi (the company) for thier insolance...Love the software and the nifty marketing hype thou:P
and i wanted to win the Destination Mir show, go up there and lick the psycadelic fungus!
my dreams are squashed because of money *boohoo*
anywhoo...if it goes into the pacific, that's international waters right? and if i recall, if something in/on the water has nothing living on it then its free game? Can you imagine the amount of precious metal on that thing? nor to mention the nifty gadgets?!
If someone can convice NBC that by shotting someone twitt into space for a vacation on a rusty, moldy arcaic space station that reeks of russian sweat socks, then I'm sure they will foot a few million to keep it going...wait a second...is this really better than being on an island with 2 hot chicks, and old fart and a gay guy?
Of course, this is probably better than watching re-runs of survivor (already!@$#). I'd love to see the winner fall out of space:)
oooo or hell! the winner gets to come back to earth *with* MIR!
i think a max of 3 characters should be set...i mean, c'mon! if not things will get out of control... i can see possibly 4, but really...3 makes more sense...
i can see a.comonyawannalayme TLD some day if things dont get under wraps...
and this is new? it's based on linux...what do you expect? when you get a system where any monkey can add to the codebase, you have the workings of a time bomb. *shocking*
well i can see one use for this...encase the palm in a water-tight container, afix some sort of small bucket just big enuff for a 12oz can, make another device that auto-loads said 12oz can into the bucket when it senses the palm-on-wheels under the recepticle, and bam! instant beer bitch...do you realize what this means?
"Honey, get me another beer"..."go to hell"..."ok fine *click*" off goes the palm-on-wheels:) Oh the possibilites...now...if i can only figour out how to make it beer-aware so if a friend wants a diff brand of beer it goes to the other recepticle:)
why the hell didn't this make the front page? I wonder how many other relevant stories we never see (why yes, i dont have any story blocked in my pref's).
I'm glad to see someone is wasting just as much B/W as cdrom.com:)
well, the 2 posts that were above +2 (at the time of writing) seemed to blast apple. why? with this "1-Click" stuff wouldn't it make more sense? think about it...apple has a small market share compared to pc-clone-hell. I'm happy for apple, maybe now mindless drones we call humans will buy more apples because it seems easy and Buzz-Words are involved. I watch my sales-guys all day long, and when they mention a few key Buzz-Words people scramble to buy. Why? who knows, perhaps years of tv and radio commercials...
Notice how fast things sell on the tv when marked for $19.95? 19.95 is like satan himself...it tells you its a great price and hell, if your getting a great price that's valued over $150 then you have to have it.
I know i fight off the demons to call the toll free number whenever i see the infamous $19.95. Funny though, $16.95 or $29.95 just doen't do it for me:)
hehe...It's all about the Buzz-Words people...
oh yea, me? no, i'm a pc junkie...although i do have 1 mac (which i need to reinstall, perhaps OpenBSD:). Kinda sucks when the highest OS it can have is 7.5
But Lucas has a grip, and a key grip, and a whole bunch of other grip's. Hell! I'm sure he has 20 guys or more with the title of grip.:-)
