Ubuntu has so many things it can learn from PCLinuxOS, for one the Hardware Detection in PCLOS is the best I have have ever seen in any Linux distro, it is the single only Linux distro that worked on all my machines.
You are a complete idiot! Seriously, do you really think any other platform would be less secure if it was dawned during an age that security was not a focal point of design? Its unfair to compare todays Linux and todays OSX against Microsofts current system which was designed under a completely different culture! Vista will fix all of that, they are making the necessary changes to accomodate todays security focused computer culture.
Also YES I think donating millions of dollars to help cancer patients live longer makes up for a computer getting a virus. I really hope one day you get cancer and suffer through the experience so you can see first hand how much you would appreciate charity. Then your perspective of things would change, a great deal in fact!! He goes above and beyond the required federal limit BTW for his donations, and thats because he actually does care about something more important than business, its something called human life!
Your an idiot, this has nothing to do with the platform the Registrar is running!! If it is malformed headers its their fault for being stupid enough to have the problem affect them, as their are millions and millions of sites running nice and dandy on windows. So go tote your Unix shit somewhere else!
In fact I bet your POS company doesnt get 1% of the user base as godaddy does...But on another note if you RTFA its their forwarding system that has the issue, if you register a domain with them your not gonna have this problem...
Actually I hear this on CRT's at work all the time and if you actually pay attention to it, it can get quit annoying but for the most part I let it be a passive part of my hearing much like road noise in a car, its there but who cares?
I have LCD's at home and a DLP for my TV now and I no longer hear those annoying as hell high pitched whines, well except from those power adaptors for electronic devices...Some of those can be irritating if you sit next to one for a while in a quiet room eventually you will start to get aggrevated by that noise...
But something on topic, seriously I dont think an irritating noise would cause a human being to not go into a store. I mean irritating smell and irritating lighting dont stop people from going to bars do they?
Why not just make a U shape with the cord and lay the power supply on the U shape of the cord which in essence would leave a small gab beneath it, this solution works without any need for extra supplies.. Just my two cents!
How could they re-invent it if it was already invented? Perhaps a better way to phrase this would be "They are using the Reed Solomon Error Correction" technology and implementing into the "BitTorrent" technology. Personally I dont see why this is a bad thing, improving on technology after all is how we got to where we are today!
Dude wtf? did you ever take an Operating System Infrastructure course in college, that comment was so far off, good lord.
Its based on what space the kernel resides in, to be specific what memory space the kernel resides. Microkernels typically reside in their own protected memory space, while a monolithic kernel such as linux doesn not, it may appear that it does though because of the modularity of the linux kernel but indeed it does not! But I dont see what the big deal is, the Windows kernel is a microkernel also, but its not 100% microkernel its more of a mix between microkernel and monolithic kernel, I think AmigaOS was like this also from what I can recall, I wonder if this will aid Mandrake..intersting...
Anyways, yeah, look it up man...Its all about controlling system controls within a particular memory space...
Im dumb because I didnt know of some drive license layout specification? Wow you live in a small box!
But you go ahead and live in your world with those ID's and I will live in mine, its a free country and I dont want the fucking things...thats my choice..Panzy!
In what way does this get rid of your Driver License? Now you carry two ID's one allowing you to drive, the other allowing you to not get locked up and hauled into jail for 'susipcious character', you realize under homeland security they can obtain you and hold you just for looking suspicious, does this also merit not having your national id? I would bet your ass it would!
So tell me again, how hard is it to look at a picture with 4 text entries beside it? Thats difficult how exactly? If thats your argument why not draft a bill requiring a standard layout on all DMV Issues Licenses, that would merit justice to your argument without having National ID's...hmmm
Personally I think IIS is easier to scale and setup than a cluster of Apache servers, but that observation is obviously from lack of experience in doing the latter, I wish I could do both for the EXACT same project and then be able to measure, but thats never the case, someone will always have more experience in one thing than the other, and its unlikely you would be able to do two seperate solutions on the exact same project, would be interesting though.
Usually unless they otherwise state so, benchmarks are done with the out-of-box settings, you can also do several things to enhance IIS performance, so I am not sure if your analysis is really valid. Although I do have to say IIS 6 and IIS 5.1 are nearly completely different, microsoft really took a leap forward when they designed IIS 6, so its interesting.
As to the Microsoft sponsored benchmark, Im not 100% convinced that if you pay for a benchmark its going to be biased, unless you black-mail the company doing the benchmark, I would like to think that the company holding the benchmark would be lookin out for there name also, and not skew results to make them look bad.
But thats what I would like to think, to much past with how microsoft has handled these things, but of course microsoft isnt the only one guilty of this, intel is just as guilty as well as AMD, Nvidia, ATI, etc.
If you had a business would you like your benchmarks skewed a bit to benefit your company? I'm not sure if I would or not, money is tempting but technology doesnt advance for money it advances for competition.
This is why people keep source code closed...Would you leave your wallet laying out in an airport? Thats basically what your doing, people know its illegal to take it yet they still do..wow what a suprise...Gee I thought the whole world was honest and truthful...Whatever!
If you have something innovative keep it closed source, dont be stupid and get your ass ganked...
I also have to protest, I think the author needs to edit the comment above, it is unnecessary and very offensive to have that comment there. I do not think that it is appropriate.
Please remove the comment about 9/11, it is very inconsiderate to the thoushands of people that lost their lifes, I do understand for the life of me how someone can possible use that as a sarcastic remark!
Money means nothing when it comes to R&D, its the technology that comes out of R&D that matters, if someone designed something in their backyard with 10,000 dollars and the same thing was designed using a R&D team with 1.5 million does the technology change? The answer is NO.
IMO, of course that all we have is our opinions isnt it now, neither of us are right or wrong, but in my opinion, AMD has been more innovative and more successful in the processor market than intel, whats really suprising is Intel was the market 6 years ago, AMD came back, and came back big, now Microsoft is toting AMD's 64 bit architecture instead of Intels, thats a huge slap in the face for intel. Centrino technology? Can we say marketing BS!! There is no new technology in Centrino, its all market propaganda, something intel is famous for mind you, and I understand if you are all hunky dory with your company cause you work for them, I am the same way with HP, but only cause I work for them... I still see flaws where flaws lie, HP Desktops suck ass, their laptops have room for improving, and why the hell are we making tv's!!
Even though you work for someone doesnt mean you have to agree with everything, can you not see the apparrent flaws in intel? Why would computer enthusiast choose AMD over Intel? Its simple, you have performance to dollar ratio's, AMD wins! Intel may not care so much for End User retail, I really dont think the majority of money comes from CPU's sold at CompUSA or mom and pap shacks, the majority of it comes from Vendor lockin, and thats what I am trying to say, Dell cannot afford to get out of vendor lock-in (it would to pricey to support), this is the only reason Intel still dominates, and no every market is not like this, only a couple I can think of even compare, Pepsi and Coca-Cola is one, but other markets are flooded with competition, you dont have vendor lockins due to the sheer amount of flexability the end user has to choose, sellers need to offer variety. This market is unique.
I hope your being sarcastic, especially when the marketing giant Intel is the one that is really having problems right now, the only reason intel still holds so much ground is Dell, without dell intel would be a boat in the water without a paddle.
So what your telling me is that open source software has security flaws? I thought these things only happened to closed software products!!!! OMG
-------- For the incompetent ones: For the further incompetent ones: This is a sarcastic reply. The the ones who probably cant read this, do not click reply, and say but open source...but closed source...OK?
If you are implying that scaring the bejeezus out of them means killing 100's of thousands of innocent people, then yes your right that might catch some people awareness and let you take another look at things to see what needs to change.
Yes it would probably take more than your normal 4 hour workday to get this done, its called working. I am a consultant and to many times do I go into places to find that the admins dont do jack but sit on their asses, fix like 4 things a day, and then ending up sending consultants in to fix the crap thats beyond them (things that take more than 10 minutes to fix).
I dont know how widespread this issue is as I only goto a couple of sites but I sure as hell hope this isnt widespread...
If you have problems deploying something thats 200MB in size to your enterprise I am scared at how you deploy applications to your enterprise, I sure hope you dont sneaker net the whole thing. Have you ever heard of Systems Managment Server, or how about Altiris? You can easily hit 90% of your entire enterprise over night, we did this for SP4 for 2000, and we plan to deploy XP this way also using the OS Deployment Feature Pack which is an extension for SMS, whenever microsoft gets it to work right and work on more than 35% of the computers they support with XP...But thats an entirely different discussion.
Personally I think the positives outweigh the negatives for deploying XP SP2, any administrator that chooses not to install it does not know what there doing, or does not understand how they can manage SP2 with Group Policy. If you turn off the Firewall your software compatability issues are rare, for the most part your enterprise should have a list of accepted hardware, you test on that hardware, work out the issues, and then deploy to your sandbox, once everything is working you deploy to your enterprise. The only issues I have ever seen are from lack of competence from the Engineering team, most of the time companies hire these least denominator people that have no clue where there brain is let alone the ability to test, and deploy a service pack to the enterprise.
I would bet the percentage given in the article is the same percentage of competent Engineers to incompetent ones.

Alot of money comes from HP Services also, its a huge profit maker.

So how good are high tech cards without the high tech readers?
