A video of this guy giving the local UPS delivery person a DDT would have been funny, but not a destroyed computer.
I've put in a few Christmas shifts for UPS, and I can assure you that 99% of the damage caused happens well before your local delivery person gets his/her hands on the package.
Blame the goons who are tasked with loading / unloading semis faster than humanly possible (this was my job).
Sure. Intel is able to push an inferior product for excessive prices, simply because they have more money in the bank and thus have bigger sales, marketing, and legal divisions.
In other words, par for the course in a 'free market'.
Look at Ken Coar's editorial in the last Apache Week. The ASF is spinning their wheels at this point.
The article in question says nothing of the sort. It notes that the development processes of apache have changed over the years, with associated wins and losses.
Why has IIS taken over the SSL market? Because it ships with EAPI.
OO in Perl sucks. It's inelegant and not terribly efficient. End of discussion.
I program in perl every day too, and find that using perl's OO features is the most elegant solution to a number of problems. No problems with 'efficiency' (if by that you mean execution speed).
What's that supposed to mean? Do you think developers are sitting around not sure what to do with themselves? And now that you've shared your insight, they will jump up and make their projects easier to use?
I had two of these puppies in a RAID 1 setup, and couldn't believe that they both were crapping out at the same time - but they did. IBM has replaced the first one to go in for RMA (after 4 weeks).
It would be great to have everything disabled by default, and would be a major help for security. (That's how OpenBSD have been able to go four years without a hole in the default install...there's not much enabled in the default install)
The fact that the OpenBSD team audits its code helps too.
That's exactly the problem. It's called "user-centered system design" for a reason. User experience is upstream from engineering in a user-centered project. You don't bring designers in late in the game to slap some icons on the system.
What gave you the idea that a programming framework was a "user-centered project"? If only you were trolling...
Although it has been about a year and my memory may be fading, I don't recall spending more than a day or two installing java on my company's old sun box, getting Tomcat running, and getting Apache to hand requests off to Tomcat.
As to the ~username/file.jsp problem, I recall that you can map extensions (i.e. *.jsp) to tomcat. There was a tricky part if your jsps were in a different directory than your html files: you'd need to stick an empty file of the same name in the html directory, to let Apache know that it should try to return something. Someone out there has a better solution using mod_rewrite, but the empty.jsp files in html directories worked for my app.
This also neglects the ease of remote administration enjoyed by Unix.
> Which are pretty much matched by Windows 2000.
Wow, I had no idea that you could connect to windows 2000 in a secure fashion, using a client freely available on almost every system, and have every administrative ability that you would sitting right in front of the box.
Horsepower is a pretty useless gauge, torque is more telling. My bike only has 90 some hp but it will blow just about any car out of the water.
Actually, horsepower explains things quite nicely. Your bike with 90 horsepower is faster than any car due to its improved power-to-weight ratio. Say a zippy car is 2200 pounds with driver, and puts out 200 hp. Each hp is dragging 11 lbs. around. You on your bike weigh maybe 540 lbs, so each of your 90 hp has only 6 lbs. to move (half as much).
(unless your bike is a harley, in which case the two of you weigh something like 900 lbs...)
Assuming I'm a home user that just got Linux and was trying it out. I went to yahoo and searched on "linux x windows mouse". According to your "solution is everywhere" one of the the returned documents should have answered it. Try it and see what you get back.
Just did, thanks. You're right that the immediate results weren't right on. So I tried "linux x mouse config", and a few results in found a step-by-step guide to installing & configuring X on linux.
If you're so easily discouraged that you can't be bothered to spend 10 seconds refining a search, maybe you shouldn't be installing & configuring an operating system.
Check out some motorcycle accident statistics - once you factor out drunken untrained operators, the biggest cause of car / bike crashes is "car driver didn't see bike". So, the high beam isn't bad at all if you want to ride a motorcycle and avoid premature death. What really gets me is the truck / sport utility drivers who put in extra special high & bright beams...

C'mon, they haven't even announced any console ports of quake IV yet; how can you be worried about sales figures?

Thanks for the laugh.
You think? I've been much happier riding my bicycle to work than I used to be when I drove. By your logic I should try dumping my DSL line too.

I'm of similar vintage, and remember quite clearly how pissed off my parents were at this 'president' person...
Is that what they told you in econ 101?
And, if it's halfway recent, you won't even need to add whatever MIME-types WAP requires.

Do you honestly think that the guy who couldn't be bothered to update it will be bothered to check for Apache vulnerabilities and fixes?
No, but compare the number of IIS patches needed over the last couple years to the number of apache patches over the same time period.

The configuration files for Tomcat 3.x look like they were designed by a monkey on crack (or a Sendmail developer)
Come on, let's give the Tomcat programmers a little credit. 3.x config files are nowhere near as bad as sendmail.cf, they're just a little verbose.

Wait, I thought you were talking about Nader, not the people behind the deceptive advertising.
I'm genuinely curious as to why you're running a server on Mac HW when the Intel HW is generally cheaper and more adaptable
It was free.
Either use OS X (a better unix for PPC than anything else by a mile)
Try out OpenBSD 2.9, and then tell us what the best unix for PPC is.
We've been running -current for months on our development database server, a G4 cube. You couldn't pay me to install OSX on that machine.

If they were to get the GPL struck down as being illegal (there are sillier laws on the book) then basically most of Open Source is dead.
Doubtful... wouldn't affect the BSD license, or other couple dozen open source licenses.
