Who cares if they pull it back.. This gets us buy until KOffice is finished.
For crying out loud.. Sun is a business trying VERY HARD to survive.. it would not be smart at all if there was NO catches.. who knows though.. Today marketshare seems to have more value than product.:) Maybe Sun is sacraficing the pawn to create just that.

SGI Releases IDE

· Score: 3
Hmm.. It is so damn funny..
I have never seen more complaining in my life.
I just came from the Corel thread, COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN.
SGI Gives away a new IDE.. COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN.
The funny thing is, I don't see people that actually contribute to the compunity complaining.
Dean from SGI seems to be running around answering questions, trying to please you babies.
Just show a bit of grattitude.

Swiss Bank Goes Online

*Yawn*
For less than 2k you can fly out to Zurich.
For less than 200 dollars, you can make open an account.
I just moved to switzerland 3 months ago from the US, I got setup with the Thurgau Kantonal bank and didn't need more than 30 bucks to get started. It has online banking as well.
If you fly out and make a cash deposit in a numbered account, the US government can't get to you.
I think the Govt. would have an easier time tracking down where the cash came from . Unless you have some serious cash accounts, and a very dirty accountant.. it will be hard to evade a REALLY good audit with any serious amount of money.
Who cares though, who here doesn't have their money spent before they get it anyways.
Go to all of the government websites.. offshore websites.. private websites...
the courts would be FILLED... I don't believe ONE thing will come of it.

This is why people in Utah are so stupid and there are no computers. Plus, Utah's schools are the worst on the planet because you're not supposed to learn. You're supposed to do only what your Leaders tell you, because only that is right and nothing else.
There is a TON of computer software companies based in Utah.

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about.
Just as an TNT X server just rules, it seems to run much quicker than any other X server I have used... just as a 2D vidio card in general, the TNT is just a fantastic card... cheep too now.
Really, unless you are ready to shell out over 30k for a web server running Oracle for Linux... FORGET doing ANY development on it..
I called Oracle and about crapped my pants when they quoted me 30k... and that is with a 2 year license... on a ONE - DUAL 400mhy CPU pentium MACHINE -....
Oracle Sucks... there databases are solid, but unless you have a huge company that is willing to fork out the bux for it..... my opinion there are a lot better alternatives.
Use Sybase if you need anything but a Ebay sized solution.
I think that Amiga really has the muscle to push linux into the mainstream. I am very happy that not only I will be able to turn my pc into an amiga, but Linux will get even more attention.
So what if Rob takes money from Microsoft, I would too if I could. I appreciate the time that Rob has put into this site..
If Microsoft wants to sponser/., hey.. more power to them.. more power to rob.
(I am having a flashback of the reactions when winamp was bought out by AOL...) More power to the sap. They are doing a hell of a lot better than I am.
In reality, I can make a choice.. I can choose Windows or Linux.
Doesn't matter who is sponsering who.. who is using what. I don't care if linux never becomes more popular.. I just love the thrill of running on a new operating system. The day it becomes ultra popular/defacto OS.. I am sure that something new and innovative will come out to replace it. That is the great Circle of Life!:)
We didn't loose anything.. We have now a (How many billion dollar company?) trying to protect their reputation. Microsoft is on their heels and if they think this will stop the community and tarnish our reputation.. wrong. The fact of the matter is Linux is a much more managable system than Windows from the code standpoint. How much resources are they putting into these benchmarks to keep beating us.
Obviously we are the under-dog, it might take 2 years before we can beat them in a benchmark... but who cares. The world *loves* an under-dog, and we are here to stay.
They are not going to crush us with a benchmark, they are going to crush themselves with the great publicity we are getting.
Any fool can look at the benchmarks and see that in reality, even if Linux isn't serving as fast as NT (According to the benchmark results...) Hey, it's fast enough. Everyone knows that the system is VERY stable, and also... FREE! (Free Beer!):)
They don't firewall anything but portscan, packet sniff, and traffic monitor the hell out of you. They read your email, look at where you're surfing, what you're uploading, what ports you use.
I am having a hard time that believing this.
Unless you live somewhere in BFE Montana where there is just no other ISP's... or and some psycho IS manager (which is quiet common actually)....who has a MAJOR ego problem AND has nothing else better to do than snif the packets of its WEB SURFERS!...
lord.. either your full of crap or you live in hickland...

I am a programmer/forced to pretend to be a DBA.. I have evaluted Oracle, and SQL Server was just plain easier to use.
It might not give me 1billion transactions a second, BUT TSQL is a really easy, and quiet dynamic language.. PL/SQL seems to be a bit older and not as dynamic... (I lied, its as dynamic.. just more dificult..)
I felt like PL/SQL was more like cobol.. and TSQL was more like Visual Basic..
I am not a MS Advocate, so please don't flame me. I just need to find a solution that was more on a work-group level, and I didn't need to spend 200k $ on a system, we wanted something that our in-house MIS person could handle, once it left R&D..
Honestly, we have our development server up and running, and maybe we reboot it once a month.. no kidding. (Unlike my NT Dev workstation that gets rebooted like 30-times a day.. )
I wouldn't be happier if they compiled a version of it to run on Linux, or some *NIX, but I doubt that is going to happen.
I guess the point I am trying to put acrost, if you don't have 3 years experience running Oracle, good luck just figuring it out.
I was up and hacking on SQL Server in hours, as with Oracle.. well, if you have used Oracle w/out instruction.. you know.:)
I am not saying that Oracle is not a better product, because after I evaluted the two of them... really, the Oracle system is a F-16.. and SQL is a Sesna.. but, from what I have seen.. a lot of companies don't need more than a Sesna..
SQL has some good replication features, and it's a dream to program on. I never have had a problem with corrupt data, and its really low cost as far as maintenance..
For 6 months, we had it running on a AMD - k6 166, with only 64 megs of ram..
Really, in peak time we would have 5-8 users max on the thing, doing nothing more than Statistical reports..
It's just a matter of picking the right tool for the job, and sometimes you don't need a nail-gun.. a hammer works just fine.
SQL Server 6.5 was a piece of crap though, 7.0 is a 100x imporovment.
I wisht that oracle would do a nice intuitive port of their enterprise managment tools to the KDE environment. (I couldn't believe how nice KDE is.. I always thought that Linux was just a good Server System... KDE changes all that!!!):)

Geez.. you could fit hours of conference and discussion onto a microdrive at 24Khz.. etc.
I think that there would be great use in a microdrive.
You could cary around a pocket encyclopedia w/one of those things.
I was hoping to see this kind of technology available with the new Psion (Even as big as they are.... ) Oh well..
Maybe a laptop is not that bad.

Will there need to be any special ports or optimizations necesary to take full advantage of the K7 processor?
Just as an TNT X server just rules, it seems to run much quicker than any other X server I have used... just as a 2D vidio card in general, the TNT is just a fantastic card... cheep too now.
:) (Not to mention has good game perf too...)
Without the game market, Linux will not make it big on the desktop.. IMHO. Sad fact.
I am not an X - Pert. (hehehe) :)
Is it me, or does X seem a little sluggish...
Are older KDE 1.1X apps going to be compatible, or is an upgrade path necessary?
We would like to use an exchange type system on our company network with scheduling/email/etc... is there anything out there like that?
You take about a 35% degragation in performance if you setup a repeater... per repeater.
