I mean, I don't even get fricken peanuts any more. They must be saving up for this! That, and they've shrunk down the pillows. Gotta be savings there...
The reason we run Vi3 is so that we can deploy servers on demand. There's no need to prep hardware. You just right-click and deploy. And, yes, the initial impetus was to consolidate from about 20 hardware servers down to two. We now run about 40 virtual servers on 4 octo-core servers. Consolidation is definitely at work here. "Containerization" is a stupid word, as it's entirely possible through non-virtual deployment (100% probable, in fact). Virtualization is about flexibility in stack deployhment, but mostly serves to provide more stacks per core than is possible in similarly priced hardware.
is that it highlights the FOSS community's basic inability to come together over topics. Not that this is a bad thing, but it has to be accepted that some members of the community (yes, RH and Novell are extremely valuable members) will do things others wouldn't. Learn to live with it. Don't quit your day jobs...
My Windows Mobile 5 phone would suck far less if it had a browser half as good as Safari. Right now, Yahoo maps almost barely works. The stuff Steve showed off on the iPhone is exactly what I want...
I agree with you that the argument that "postfix is... far more secure" than sendmail is flawed. But this isn't because sendmail is so secure. Rather, it's because the secuirty (or lack of) sendmail has no reflection on the security (or lack of) of postfix. Both can be equally "insecure." And I guarantee you there are (or will be) flaws in both applications...
It used to be like pulling teeth to get anywhere next to current drivers and software for Linux, but over the last few years, it's just as good as Windows. Man, it sucked to have to boot a server in Windows or visit it with a USB floppy drive in order to update firmware. I see this move as a good thing. Dell realizes they sell more boxes with better Windows AND Linux support than with good support for just one of these...
Because they're cheap now. No, they're not complicated, and I want to run everything myself because I have all that extra time.
There's a value in services. Particularly, the value of not having to do everything oneself. I gladly pay for someone else to care for my data, for example..Mac has paid for itself for several years, just by backing up my wife's dissertation docs when a disk failure borked her laptop.

Sun has brand recognition, even if only in the silly "dot in dot com" thing. Why change it? Nobody knows what JAVA is. How about BOMB?
Maybe people will start reading the NYT in print again...
"Done with the sports section?" "Mind if I use it in my laptop?"
Humayun, the package has been delivered.

Actually, it only "stuns" them for a few seconds. But, yeah, it's Albert Finney's best work! And Susan Dey was in it before L.A. Law.
Boy, that's such an "80's flick" if there ever was one...

...then worry about network access. Until Islamic and tribal aggression are curtailed, there's no real point in worrying about such things.
Duke Nukem Forever doesn't really run all that better in XP-64...

Imagine a beowulf cluster of these rules!
What *I* want to know is, "how does this affect ZFS becoming the default filesystem for Mac OS X?"

At least we won't be subjected to another annoying Boxey kid...
...The Schwartz meant "THE" as in "it's THE filesystem all the COOL KIDS will be using." He didn't necessarily mean the ONLY filesystem.
Oh, and can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these things?
...everyone stops implementing NAS/SAN and instead implements ZFS. Duh!
Was that REALLY a good thing?

Keep all your money hidden in your mattress! No phish there!
And why does the department responsible for defencing care?

Man, I hate it when some nuckfuts on my team throws a nade in right when I'm about to capture the enemy's flag!
...mating them with heartier wild bees from... AFRICA! Yeah! That'll do it!
