Considering a hybrid is something like $40,000 canadian, and I just bought a 1987 Honda Civic for $900 that gets 40+mpg and runs perfect, I would spend my money elsewhere. But I'm cheap.
Nothing will ever touch VMS clustering, it's kind of sad that 20 year old technology is so much more stable than modern technology. I mean VMS has only advanced two major versions in ten years.
When I first got a logitech bus mouse (that used a special ISA card) and I couldn't believe how much better it was than a serial mouse. This was way before PS/2 mice became popular on anything but PS/2s.
If I was a suicide bomber, I would use a "dead-man" switch where I had to hold the button to make the bomb NOT go off. Then you could shoot me in the head and I would let go and I'd blow up.
1) Hold trigger swich down 2) Flip arming switch 3) ??? 4) PROFIT!!!

Hey, you and I must have worked at the same company!
I'm moving to Canada.
Where you can either watch the CBC, or US network TV.
I don't have cable for a reason.
And if MS DIDN'T patch the XBOX automatically, you'd have the same people calling for the heads of everyone at MS for having an insecure product.
No matter what, MS is bad to a lot of people.
So this is guh-kuh-noppix?

But we STILL don't have flying cars. I was promised flying cars. Where are the flying cars?

Yes, as long as you don't give a damn about ACID compliance.
Oracle 9i RAC running on Veritas Foundation Suite HA+ Database Edition is a snap. Parallel server in 8 was hard to set up and unstable though.

Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 USB and PS/2 Compatible

Spoke it, yes. Comprehensibly? No. It has happened once or twice.
Mmmmm, sacred...
Nobody said either of those two languages were english.
It's so wonderful to call a call centre and get someone who I can't understand.

How can a gun stop a terrorist? Last I checked they used bombs (car and/or human) and crashed planes into shit.
"Oh shit! That dude is about to blow himself up! I will shoot him, that will be effective!"
There is an alternative, you can take the bus.
Driving is not a right, last I checked.
1994? Try VMS back in the early days.
The only firewall fit for the link between the Internet and a SCADA system is an AIR GAP ffs.
The users must be punished for their arrogance!
There are Direct Methanol Fuel Cells out now too. Methanol is poisonous but it's simple to handle.
That's totally unrealistic, but feel free to not play games in order to make your point.
I'm going to keep playing BF1942 on my Windows box.
None of that matters though, it's a matter of image. The big companies just see Loki tank and say "look, no money in Linux."
Business is rarely based on fact.
I think when Loki tanked, that sent a big message to the mainstream publishers that there is little to no market for Linux ports.
