Linux is a hobbyists OS, regardless of how much marketing capital the likes of RedHat and IBM put behind it. IMO, the Kernel is turning to crap when script-kiddies from Turkey are using 0-days weekly and the subjugated server count increases by the thousands daily.
For serious deployments:
Solaris (TrustedSolaris is nice too) HP-UX AIX Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (be kind!) FreeBSD/OpenBSD (Hurry with that complete SMP support!)
Yes - Theo can be an ass, but his code is clean, elegant and robust, as are his development mantras. From the above list, the only fair comparison to Linux are the BSDs, and let's be blunt: they trounce Linux in terms of reliability. We have not had a Kernel panic on our OpenBSD cluster in over 5 years, and a buffer overflow? Not in my OpenBSD-world.......which brings this little rant full-circle: the Linux development process is headed for the landfill, and that is the cause of the now inferior Linux Kernel.
Every project I have been on in the past 6 years had the technology chosen by business people - getting counsel from technical architects..NET can be kindergarden easy for all I care.
1).NET is not mature.
2a).NET has little, if any, value-proposition. Please note, from a business perspective, it matters little that there is MS technology "in the door" already. One of the projects I was on had 120,000 client machines - all running Win2k. The application was J2EE and the app took advantage of the Active Directory metabase like an 18yr old with a pocket full of ruffies on prom night.
2b) Java works with every technology I've come across(COBOL, CICS, MS., etc.). Sun doesn't make money from Java implementations, they make money from the tools people use to develop Java apps quickly. I can best any time you have in Visual Studio.NET with Java studio creator, and my app will scale over 1,000,000 users out of the gate.
I work for a company that is just wrapping up 3 in-house software projects totaling 38 million USD. Do you know what technology was used for all of them? Java+Struts+DB2+MQ..NET is a joke. The only people that think.NET is an Enterprise-class answer for anything are the people that don't work in an enterprise.
DCOM sucks.
The CLR is a performance _joke_ in the automotive and financial industries.
All my comments aside, how can anyone with a modicum of professional experience think a 5yr old technology(.NET) would be a better choice then a 15yr old technology that is 64% of the market and still under heavy development and support?
Go back to your parents basement and get me that patch for your Yahoo Messenger spam script you tool!
So they have been around for almost 2 weeks, and the authorities are trying to say how proud they are of the response they had? If these were bombs, they all would have gone off already.
If the devices wern't using LEDs the battery would have long-since died, and with no glowing "notice-me" effect they would have been there for years.....
you may laugh, but read all the Tutor posts - they are not only entertaining, but most of the physics explanations are very real.
It's odd - this is about the time, according to the Tutor posts, that time travel was to start being seriously researched. The Many Universes theorem that Tutor says is ultimately correct would mean that the exact time something was supposed to happen, according to him, could be off by a few years and still be accepted as a predetermined event.
fp wh0res. and, so im not some fp wh0re, why is this a surprise. the web is a medium to move data, that's it. just like television was when it first came out, the internet is matureing. once people realize that it's not a goose that lays golden eggs, and start using it for what it should be used for, we'll all be better off.
and what _should_ it be used for? disseminating information.
yeah, i know im a bitch, but this NOTHING to do with TCP sparky. it's the underlying DSL technology. I will bet a cold beer that this guy has ADSL, which along with all the other caveats it has, dynamically changes your amount of upstream/downstream bandwidth. and please dont cry, it's in your TOS. That's what you get for the 49.95/mo special. The solution: SDSL. A much stronger technology that uses a symetric transfer mechanism, as opposed to ADSL. why do i pay 109.99/mo for SDSL, 4 static ip's, and GAURENTEED LEVELS OF SERVICE?(uptime, bandwidth, etc) so i never have to cry like this....
the CD that is, and it will be blamed on the copy-protection. My point is that it would have bombed regardless of the copy-protection. They can only manufacture bands for so long.........
The question is, will this help or hurt the band?(err, tools)
im interested to see how they explain some of the things that are "hand-waived" in the later series'. such as transporters and phasers. fiction has always been a blueprint for non-fiction.

Agreed, and I'll post non-AC.

You missed your own point.

Sorry for the rant.
Oh, and another thing:
;)
I can compile java bytecode to run faster then optimized C++ apps.
It's been this way for years.
Please hurry with that patch! Also, it would be nice if you updated your script from VB4!!!!
Is this a joke?

there was also a time when 640k was enough for anyone.

yeah, im drunk.......
it is I! the TROLL!!!

mod me down. i submitted this shit yesterday at like 9:30 am EDT. pukes.
good to see that the govt is finally reviewing some of this shit
now when is the US actually going to do something like this that has teeth?
but what is the size of data that can be stored on the dvd? would this be viable for a mass-storage backup solution?

it is i, the troll!
i am a troll. LOOK INTO MUH EYES!!
visit our site. give us feedback.
im interested to see how they explain some of the things that are "hand-waived" in the later series'. such as transporters and phasers. fiction has always been a blueprint for non-fiction.

didnt this appear on The Register like 4 days ago?
yeah, i have like no karma.
i am the super-troll! ph33r me!
not only are the ILEC's moving in on DSL, techienews had this story when it broke
