yes, the Indexing Service is a beyotch. I'm a Win32 developer, so I use VC all day. I've had compilation failures because the Index Service decided that it should index (and lock) the compiler's intermediate.obj files.:-( And I've had net shares that I cannot 'net use/d' because the Indexing Service thought that indexing (and locking) files on a remote file server was a great idea. sigh..
at least the Indexing Service is not as bad as Office's FASTFIND.EXE.:-)
Of course, I don't know anyone that write Unicode Win32 apps. As long as people continue run Windows 95, OSR2, OSR2.5, 98, 98SE, and ME, then most apps still will probably ANSI so they are portable across "all" operating systems.
If you know of a Unicode-only Win32 app that is not just an in-house app, I would be curious to learn me.
Her only post was just a few days ago, but her user info page now claims she has zero posts. My user info page currently shows my posts going back about two weeks. Why would Anne Tomlinson's one post mysteriously "disappear" from the system so soon??!
Microsoft's mention of FreeBSD must be purely to plant some FUD against Linux in the minds of pointy-hair bosses. The license used by Linux or FreeBSD does NOT restrict the user applications that can be run on it. I imagine porting.NET services from FreeBSD to Linux would be nearly trivial, unless the Microsoft license small print prevents this.
Will Solaris 9 ship GNOME as the default desktop environment or do you expect Sun to back away from GNOME? When does Sun plan to release Solaris 9 anyways?
I agree that JKH's comment that FreeBSD and OS X do not compete was confusing. How does his comment relate to Apple's "Thing 2" project, an attempt to make a rack-mounted Power Mac to run OS X in a server farm? See "Apple Rumored to be Developing Rack-Mounted Server Hardware" for more details.
According to Williams--best known to most Americans as "Potsie" on the popular, '50s-nostalgia-themed 1970s sitcom Happy Days before being named head of the embattled Department of Retro by President Clinton in 1992--the U.S.'s exponentially decreasing retro gap is in danger of achieving parity with real-time historical events early in the next century, creating what leading retro experts call a "futurified recursion loop," or "retro-present warp," in the world of American pop-cultural kitsch appreciation.
"Before long," Williams warned, "the National Retro Clock will hit 1992, and we will witness a massive grunge-retro explosion, which will overlap with the late-period, mainstream-pop remnants of the original grunge movement itself. For the first time in history, a phenomenon and nostalgia for that particular phenomenon will actually meet."
Does anyone have any links about the plans for FreeBSD 6.0? I read somewhere that it will include some of the security features from TrustedBSD and some improved SMP, but I can't find any details.
The SMPng page says that FreeBSD 5.0 "should" scale to 32 CPUs, but their SMP implementation is effectively the same as Linux 2.2, which could only scale well to 2-4 CPUs.
This is part of the reason I like FreeBSD. They actually have coherent release schedules, instead of Linus' lets-mess-around-with-the-VM right before we release a "stable" kernel. The FreeBSD release schedule is nice and predicatable. Think tortoise versus hare. The game is not over for FreeBSD.
Then please explain the following results. If Netcraft can differentiate NetBSD/OpenBSD from Solaris for one server, why can't it do the same for the other??
Don't you think that munging the binary database file (in one of many possible format versions) is much more dangerous than just exporting/importing a structured text file?
What would the impact be, compared to the fact that Oracle would soon be running on Linux and also Informix (acquired by IBM) and DB2 would soon be running on Linux clusters ?
Oracle, Informix, and DB2 might running on Linux, but perhaps they won't be compatible with Red Hat 8? What prevents Red Hat from introducing incompatibilities into their operating system? The gcc 2.96 controversy is just the beginning of the proprietarization of Red Hat "Linux".

Hit the PayPal button and watch ESR dance around as a small piece of cheese drops out of a chute into his rice bowl.
Wouldn't that then be a cheese bowl?

It's near the right-hand side of the keyboard.
Jordan Hubbard is also an anagram for "RAD HAND JOB RUB". mmmm.
Jordan Hubbard is an anagram for "HARD RUB JOB DNA". Which is exactly what Apple is trying to do to its BSD competitors!

So that leaves Sun and IBM. (The latter with the most god-awful OS that purports to be Unix ever. Dear God let IBM hurry up with their Linux plans.
;-)
Are you talking about Linux or AIX?
btw, what don't you like Solaris?
Sure they were nutso sayin gthe barcodes on street signs were UN codes for troop directions
which street signs are these? US street signs?
maybe your god created life on other planets after the bible had been written.

not true. Since sending email is effectively free, many spammers use the Rumplestiltskin Attack to guess email addresses. If your Hotmail email is something common like joe@hotmail.com, you will probably get more spam than mr_gerbik_23423487@hotmail.com.
no, he means gephardt@goatse.cx.
It's called work because they have to pay you to do it. If it wasn't so boring, then you might do it for free.
that Microsoft uses it to server Hotmail.com. Oh wait a minute..

That is exactly what id software did with Quake. They released the DOOM, Quake 1, and Caste Wolfenstein source code under the GPL. You can also pay to license the Quake 2 and 3 source code.
