    Ah, the old "the beatings will continue until morale improves" idea. You get that a lot in dying companies/industries.

  2. Re:Excellent! on Taking a Look at Nexenta's Blend of Solaris and Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Solaris, HP/UX and BSD have shared ancestry. It's possible (though improbable) that some horrible underlying problem is shared between them. Hell even Linux has shares the same ideas. Better use Windows, at least that is an independent development.

    Yes, but few vulnerabilities are kernel related. Most are in user level code, and "ubuntu on everything" is in fact creating a monoculture, not increasing the alternatives.

    However in this case their actual views, rather than this absurd parody, are probably right.

    By the way, the people of Sudan, whether "black" or "arab" are all Africans.

    AIX PS/2 (and AIX/370) wasn't the same OS as AIX on RS/6000, It was a port of LOCUS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOCUS_(operating_system) with an el-cheapo AIX compatibility layer. (That's how come AIX PS/2 had the TCF clustering software but AIX on RS/6000 didn't).

    Why do you keep saying AFP when you mean AP? Do you have some problem with the French?

    If you want to consider China an enemy, and think "Aid and Comfort" is enough to convict for treason then you'd better start by locking up the board of Wal-Mart. Then have a look at the contents of your house and wardrobe and decide whether to turn yourself in.

    He goes on tirades about the BSD license

    Citation needed? He's said that the BSD license doesn't do all the things he wants the GPL to do, but you do know that the BSD license is recognised as a free software license by the FSF, don't you?

    Modified BSD license

            This is the original BSD license, modified by removal of the advertising clause. It is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with the GNU GPL.

            If you want a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, the modified BSD license is a reasonable choice. However, it is risky to recommend use of "the BSD license", because confusion could easily occur and lead to use of the flawed original BSD license. To avoid this risk, you can suggest the X11 license instead. The X11 license and the revised BSD license are more or less equivalent.

            This license is sometimes referred to as the 3-clause BSD license.

    (From http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#GPLCompatibleLicenses).

    I see no tirade.
