Then there is the big fact that progammers these days are sloppy and waste resources. A machine that is faster than one needs today will only be adequate in 2 or 3 years given upgrades to all the programs. (Am I being cynical? Maybe, but then again, maybe not.) No. In fact, you can generalise the statement to... Humans are sloppy and waste resources. Basically any resource which is cheap or easy will be fully consumed by the people using it.
If CPUs stayed the same power, people would write better code to improve performance.
It uses shared libraries to better effect than Gnome. The result is a far lower memory requirement. It's also faster when it comes to display updates for some reason.
If you look at the number of Enterprise companies using NetBackup, I think one would agree it is enterprise software. Actually no. The operative word being "class".
In reality it's a kludgy pile of crap which I personally have had the extensive displeasure of installing, configuring and using in an enterprise environment. It's used primarily because it's cheap and it can tick most of the boxes, whether it actually works adequately or not with respect to the various ticked boxes is an entirely different matter. There are several far superior systems that could conceivably called enterprise class.
The simple reason being that a good businessman never assumes what's good for him is good for his customer. If you don't eat your own dogfood, how can you expect your customers to.
A lot of people only look at Symantec's home user security products, but a lot of cash from R & D would flow towards some of its enterprise class products like NetBackup, which because of its sheer complexity of development would require a lot of dough. And how does this contradict the grandparent's point? Netbackup is a perfect example of the "Big Ball of Mud" development methodology. Oh and I dispute the definition of Netbackup as "enterprise class". At best, it's workgroup class with pretensions.
Is to lock the application to the RDBMS. The RDBMS becomes an application server rather than storage. There are some ancillary benefits but really they should be provided by middleware.
The kind of people who work 1st line support aren't really able to do more than follow a script. They have neither the motivation, nor the intellect to conceptualise or actually solve problems. They make up the majority of humanity. When your problem falls outside the scope of their limited understanding, they deny it exists.
This will come across as a troll but it's unfortunately the truth about people.
The shallow analysis is that this guy was insane, a random nutcase, but this is the Nth time it's happened in the US. Why isn't the same thing happening in other countries? What is it about American society which creates these young men who have so little to lose?
I haven't tried them all. phpOrganisation handles time recording in addition to the basic accounting. It's the one I'm looking at closest for my own needs. Though WebERP and one of it's forks (frontaccounting) are also fairly useful.
There are actually rather a lot of free and open source accounting packages around.

They are in various states of repair and different markets from the personal to the one man band to the multinational.
The problem is control of supply and therefore profit. Specifically, routing.
You'll find that your ISP etc will absolutely not allow routing of other networks across your regular connection. They barely tolerate wireless routers. Essentially they insist you act as a leaf node. If you want to do more, expect it to cost a bundle.
SCO's share price woes are the shareholder's problem. If they're happy with the way the CEO is running the company then bully for them. If not, they can always sell and/or fire the CEO.
And you see it everywhere. Middle management and upwards. It depends who you deal with mostly. Basically, they have fuck all else to do all day except play politics.

I might have to...
Clear My Cookies!!!!!!!!!
Y'know. You don't have to use Google and you don't have to retain all the cookies your machine is sent.

For some reason sales and marketing get conflated. Sales is selling. Marketing is finding out what will sell.

Yeah, thought I'd hear those old chestnuts trotted out. They're the ancilliary benefits I mentioned.
It's the easiest to use of the PC based desktop operating systems.

So instead of taking a year trekking round the world to "find themselves", people could just ask Google.
We want it now! Run It On The Silicon!
Give us an FPGA coprocessor on chip.
They just wait for inflation to catch up.

Don't bother with Vista at the moment. Let some other muppet sort out the pain.
Just disable them during rush hour. Pour a couple of boxes of caltrops out the back of a van would pretty much do it.

Every system board should have one.
Personally. Zabbix.
Big Brother/Sister don't really scale.
Nagios is horrible to administer.
Jffnms is nice, the most feature complete, but not robust enough.
OpenNMS looks interesting but I've never had the time to set it up.
Cacti/MRTG are trending systems.
Zabbix or OpenNMS.
