Well that won't work either consindering Sun gave up the 2.x designation. The new solaris is solaris 8, and that would still be 5 better than Linux 3.0.
I used to have a Linux Box, but I converted it to Solaris.... The reason? Stability I am working on developing my Oracle skills, and Oracle on Linux sucks!!! Oracle and Solaris have this thing. They work perfect together. Solaris is much more stable than Linux (for most applications). I think Linux is still miles better than Windows as a server platform, but if someone shells out the money for a SPARC computer, it should be running solaris.
Damn Right!! I prefer to have legal software, and because I am a student I can get software at descent prices. All of my software is legal, but when I get out of school, I don't know if I can say that I will continue to make sure all my stuff is real. When Microsoft implements the mandatory licensing I'm sure there will be ways around it. If they lower prices, a lot of people will try to make sure that their software is legal. Hmm $.50 for a copy of office, or 500 for the same thing with a Micrsoft Hologram and a box... I also refuse to buy software that has to "call home" in order to work....
Who even really listens to MSFT anymore?? I believe it was Bill Gates who said the internet wasn't going anywhere, and that no one will ever need more than 640k RAM.... If open source software doesn't put MSFT out of buisness, it should at least force them to lower their prices. Who in this world really thinks that office is worth as much as it costs (500 for the standard edition....)...
Is this "functionality" going to be in windoze media player, or are they going to make a change to windows? What about all of the people buying MP3 players for their car? MP3 is basically the standard for exchanging music, and now M$ has to push some proprietary BS into the market....
I believe we should, because most of us delete the M$ OS that came pre-loaded, while non-geeks use the M$ crap that came on it. Therefore we have gotten screwed worse than the average user....
Lets Check Out My Situation:
2 Computers that came pre-loaded with '95 (one deleted for solaris, other eventually deleted for Linux)
2 Computers that came pre-loaded with '98 (deleted one for Linux, and one that I deleted for NT4 (MS got paid double for that))
1 Computer that came pre-loaded with '00.
Now, do I get 5 shares of the class action suit or just one?:-)
THIS IS NOT FLAMEBAIT!!
But the athlon 1Ghz is not a 64 bit / RISC processor. Also the minimum amount of memory available is 128 MB, comes with sound, firewire, ethernet adapter. Descent hard drive.
I bet this machine probably performs as good as, if not better than an AMD based system. I hate when people try to infer that MHz == Higher performance. Intel doubled the stages in the pipeline of the P4 so that they could boost the clock rate up 50% over the P3.
I completely disagree,I think people are going to move away from Windows, and towards a free open source operating system as tech financing dries up. With the growth in the technology sector leveling off, I think PC manufacturers are going to have to find new ways to beef up the bottom line, and won't be quite as eager to send Microsoft a whole bunch of money for something they can get for free, and make modifications to.
Sun hardware runs circles around Intel based hardware. My PII/400 is getting pretty old, and I was shopping around for a new computer (to bring my total to 4), and now that sun is finally building affordable systems I might have to pick one up (I can't wait until Uncle Sam sends me my Income Tax refund:-) ) Florida power will love my set up then (Linux/Intel Win/Intel Solaris/x86, and hopefully Solaris/SPARC )
A cable wouldn't be enough, because black box would probably make it for $5. Now if this "cable" had some sort of controller on it that would do the trick. I can just see it now in microscopic text in the corner of the box ("cable not included").
I would have given my right arm to find a place to sit that didn't have a gaming machine in front of it in Vegas. My feet hurt so bad. This idea would be alright if the chair was a little more comfortable, and it was somewhere nice... Say inside the Luxor...:-)
I guess it would be like the television show "The Mole" or something. When I was in high school I did a lot of crazy stuff that I wouldn't want the police to know about, and I shared them openly with my "friends", but if I thought there could be an undercover cop there I would definately not trusted anyone....
OK, sun should have said to Microsoft. Exactly how many development products do you have for.NET, and where can you get them from?.NET is VAPORWARE, and a knee jerk reaction to Sun's Java technology, which is available everyware (www.java.sun.com (Free)), JBuilder, Forte For Java CE (www.sun.com) (FREE!)....
GOD BLESS DALE...... He lived to race and died racing!!!
Yeah, and then try to run the VB code on a Linux Box, a UNIX box, and a IBM Mainframe. Microsoft doesn't realize that Java is the natural progression of languages, sure we will still need C, Assembly, etc, but we sure as hell don't need VB.
I remember when I took a college class and had to build a Active X control. I wrote it at home on Windoze NT and built the.OCX file and registered fine. Then I took the.OCX file and brought it to the University and tried to use it. Guess what it didn't register, and I was using the same version of windows (service packs and all). They can't even make their own stuff work together, much less products from many different vendors.
GOD BLESS DALE...... He lived to race and died racing!!!
I can just imagine windoze NT on Slot Machines. When you win it probably will play the "Tada.wav" sound, and crash. There are currently little disclaimers on slot machines say "Malfunction voids play", and I guess this disclaimer will come in handy now that microsoft software is involved.

The only way to make a computer secure, is to lock it in a vault with only an AC outlet. But I guess that didn't work in Mission Impossible, so I guess we are out of luck...:-)
Next time I am in the market for a new box, I might buy a dual processor Athlon.:-) I wonder how much the board is going to cost? Watch out Intel here comes AMD....(again!)
If there are problems with BIND, then the users should know about them and be prepared for possible exploits. If this succeeds, the only people who will know about the security problems with BIND will be the "BIND Elite", and "The h4xors".
Intel designs a desktop processor, and then moves it to the notebook world. Transmeta on the other hand is thinking out of the box, kinda like AMD did, and it is going to pay off in the long run.
Intel has been working on Speed Step for the last year... How hard is it to drop down a clock speed. You could do it with a handfull of NAND gates, the problem is that most notebook users don't want a 300Mhz PIII, when they could have a 500Mhz PIII, if Intel had placed a little bit more in the design phase of the Mobile PIII.

Where does Windows XP fit in there?
