Or IBM will just buy them out, ending all this and because I would bet that IBM would want to ensure that they still get linux improvements and stuff, they would allow the code to be GPLed or something.

Uh, when did Sun commercialize FreeBSD? They had SunOS which had a BSD style init system I think, and then moved to Solaris which has a SysV init system. And they bought out cobalt and sell those linux boxes. Do they have any interaction with freebsd?
Hm, so before the DMCA I could sell copyrighted material on ebay and they couldn't do anything about it? Nah I don't think that was true. A subpoena would get the information just as fast as a "DMCA Takedown Notice" perhaps even faster as its the court I belive serving the order rather then just the copyright holder complaining
Well if we were perfectly efficent then perhaps the companies and industries could grow larger and hence need more employees, which would take care of the employment thing.
2 million is nothing compared to what they spent on the war, something like 200 Billion already and around 2 Billion more in the coming months. So 2 Million might buy one cruise missile or something but its not gonna help much.
In a beowulf cluster the memory isn't shared, well unless you use one of those new shared memory things that they have (sorry forget the name) but either way its usually done over Ethernet or Token Ring. Most things which are memory intensive aren't good candidates for beowulf clusters because the movement of the data in memory takes so long. Most beowulf clusters use PVM and MPI to pass messages amongest themselves and that's how they communicate. The article doesn't give too much data on Googles software, but if their server application passes data amongest all the servers then it could be considered a beowulf cluster.
With regards to the SGI Origin aspect, its probably pretty easy for them to just script everything using linux and they can get everything pretty automated. Plus they can easily add boxes to the datacenters that need them, so that load is more balanced. With using a single system image, you probably couldn't just let the computers go like google does (just leaves the dead computers dead). Although the fact that google's database could then be stored in one or two computers might be helpful.
Seems a little pointless to me. If you can afford to turn an old 911SC into a 993, then you could afford to just buy a 993 outright. But then, I guess the same thing applies across the board. The sport compact guys that spend money turning a Civic into a BMW usually end up spending more than if they'd just bought a BMW 3-series to begin with.
I agree compleatly, that's kinda what I was trying to say, guess I didn't quite explain myself. I think that its feasable to do (turn a old 911SC into a 993) as long as you don't mind not having the newer interior, because I would bet that would be more expensive then just dropping the newer engine in and a new suspension.
But just like the Celeron would be running like a Xeon, the Xeon still probably has more cache so it is overall a better processor. Just like a Subaru Impreza STi has stuff like doors, roof, etc compared to this. Plus the Subaru could probably do more then go (somewhat) fast in a straight line.
Porsche 944 Turbo = 951 So I guess that only applys to the n/a versions, although they didn't make a turbo 914..The 6 cyl version was pretty nice though.
In some cases with those 911's they were already damanged or something was wrong with them. But if you look into the costs, to build a 993 out of a 911SC its gonna cost close to what you would spend to buy a 993. There are some on there where people have replaced a blown or otherwise broken 911SC engine with a tuned or just regular 993 engine which isn't too bad. They make good cars to convert into full on track cars.
While the Koenigegg is pretty cool I would prefer to have a "cheap" but awesome looking car. Not only does it look cool but its pretty much a full out race car. Ultima Cars - only 90K fully built, or you can get the kit for about 30K and put it together yourself.
I'm just wondering as it seems that the fixes that come in service packs and stuff are a bit more intergrated into the OS then say updating BIND which you may or may not even have installed. But I don't think you can not install something such as say the telephony service in Windows2K (Yes of course you can turn it off but its still there.) As someone in another thread mentioned, red hat update is for a few hundred at least applications vs microsoft update which is for, what windows, IE and media player? Or does it do more?
If you wanted to just count a fix is a fix, you could try taking a number of every single windows application fix that is posted and every single linux application fix and compare those numbers. But as others have mentioned before, perhaps raw numbers doesn't mean as much as some think.
As for a legitmate argument to switch, I really couldn't give a shit what others use. I use what works for me. Although I've got to say Solaris on Sun hardware still has Linux beat in terms of stablility and stablility under load. Course no one compares the number of patches that Sun puts out with the ones that Microsoft puts out. (Or at least I haven't seen any sites that do)
How many have been for the acutal operating system? Like say the kernel or glibc?
And how many patches were included in the service patches?

You should check out Sun's stuff, you can run the same binaries on their multimillion dollar Sunfire machines as on the lowly EOL'ed Ultra 1s that you can buy on ebay for 100 bucks. But again, that's not a PC either.:)
Your in Middletown? I go to school there (PSU Harrisburg) and I agree whole heartedly, the only reason steelton exists is because of the steel mills down there and now that they are pretty much out of business the town is just dead. Hell the whole steel mill property is some special economic zone where they give you grants and no taxes and all sorts of stuff and it doesn't seem to be attracting any companies of any sort.
What higher/middle/lower rich class is there in middletown? It seems very middle class everywhere, although I guess they have new developments or whatever outside of town.
or just use IDE. Hell firewire drives are as expensive as SCSI in some cases. Plus there don't seem to be too many 1TB or more arrays of firewire drives out there for sale.
You mean like the established "blue chip" (not sure if microsoft is on that list yet) stocks? The ones that have been there for 30 or so years and while they don't take off like a jet they do provide consistant growth. I think it just depends on who microsoft wants to please, does it want to become a old standby that's always slowly growing, or does it want to attempt to keep pushing the stock up at a crazy rate, eventually resulting in a huge bust?
And designed by Dr. Porsche, amazing how long his designs lasted. (well the good ones, the several ton tank that had battleship armor didn't work too well)
People die when you use a gun, vs defacing some websites you lose the content of the websites. Perhaps that's the big differance. Now if they were hacking the units' sat radios or something along those lines I could see that carrying a bit more weight.
You do know that only congress has the power to declare war right? The president can only do "police actions" or something like that for something like 30 days, until congress has to make a decision.
