Well it seems your view is a bit biased by your personal experience with MySQL. Do note however, that MySQL does not support referential integrity, which is perhaps not needed for 'publicly available financial information' as such information must not be updated by the end users, but is a serious necessity for a lot of financial applications, among others.

If you cared to read the article on Tom's Hardware, then you might think again. All those nifty sensors work shit when your TBird fires up to 300C in just a few seconds when your cooler falls off!
How do you clock such a thing? How big is such a system? Even if you get all those Z80's at a ridiculously low price, they haven't exactly shrunk to 1 sq mm have they?
...a tool that offers visual integration between Apache, MySQL and PHP without any line of scripting, and then I'll speak of a replacement for MS Access. Until then, it's all just for geeks.
"To find an alternative to the MS Access database application, we decided to develop a prototype of an intranet application using Apache Web server, MySQL database and the PHP scripting facility. This Linux solution was not only faster and more powerful than the Access application, the software was available at no charge. "

Astronauts should worry more about their personal safety then the missions they are assigned to. I'm sure most of them occasionaly get so tired they just 'close their eyes for a second' and then smack into control panel. They seem to forget that the law of physics dictates that an object that is in motion wants to stay in motion until it smashes its face into another object.
That calculation doesn't work. You buy software because it will help you do things better, safer, smarter, faster, in other words, it will save you money.
If you buy software for which there is a manual included, better support, you're used to working with prior versions, it works on top of a GUI that you're familiar with, in other words: productivity is there, then the alternative MAY be free (beer), but that doesn't mean you'll save more money.
It's the same with any Alternative OS. You have to look further than the cost of licenses.

First of all; IANAL (who is, anyway?)
In Belgium, it's against the law to bundle something and sell that bundle exclusively. You are allowed to make a special 'package', but if you just want to buy the box and not the games, they can't stop you. It's called 'koppelverkoop' and it goes far.
Just because it's ATA doesn't mean it's compatible. It's just a way to write large amounts of bytes to some sort of media. We use filesystems on such devices in order to have some file organisation, and every company can have its own.
What I see in this article is that Qwest is jumping out of the 'consumer' business, like more and more ISPs are doing.
My ISP provides me ADSL access. They stopped marketing their end-user products and focused their business on corporate and enterprise solutions, basically because it's become too expensive to keep supporting the many home users that keep leeching and trading movies and the likes.
I can see either one of two reasons here:
- What we pay for internet these days is really below the real cost for our ISPs, while punching each other in the face with lower prices to get the most customers.
- What the Big Backbone Boys (carriers, telcos,...) are charging is way more than they should.

Good point, but may I add...
Access is for a lot of people a break from the classic 'row x cell' paradigm with which they've been keeping their address list for so long.
To us programmers it's a wall. For them, it's everything.

hey, I can do that too with a Delphi app running on Windows with VNC, and access it from my Palm :P

It's the same thing on Win2K.
Only you don't have to find either linuxconf or wherever the heck it is in your Mandrake/KDE/ or Gnome configuration panel.
I know exactly which services are on and which are not.

The serial driver works at 2400 baud.
XP is on the order of 20-30% slower than Windows 2000.
And you read this where? Did you determine it yourself by comparing the performance of a retail copy of Win2K next to a beta release of XP?

Everyone who is using Linux at home has root. Well they should have.
The issue is only valid when you use XP Home as a shellbox or as a webserver. Now who's gonna do that?
It's time to stop playing those mind games. Everytime I hear or read the word "leverage" I have to think "hype".
