That, my friend, is the future of the internet. It's really more of a "thin-wire" thingee than a "thin-client" thingee.
(Begin rant. Even the small dumb PDA-type thingees need to be "multi-user". Multi-role might be more descriptive. "My Computer" seems somehow incredibly stupid. End rant.)
Benchmarks try to be repeatable and as a result measure what is measureable as opposed to what is important. Even under the best of circumstances, you can get anomalous results.
>>The reality of it is that HUMANS ARE VIOLENT!
There is a difference between Escapism and Reality, and it is important to keep the distinction, as in shooting people versus playing war games. IIRC the fairy tales, aimed at very small children, can be pretty gruesome. The trick is to have the violence in the non-real world of Escapism INSTEAD OF the real world. Between such as RoadRunner-Coyote and most of Walt Disney's stuff, it seems like Walt Disney has done more to promote "moral decay", since it promotes disrespect for authority as a "real world" desirable quality. (Expressed badly, but maybe you can see the point.)
>>Society has many problems and one centrally planned solution is not the right idea.
Each village has its own time zone.
Each county has its own standard for weights and measures.
Each state decides whether to drive on the left or the right.
Each state decides whether AC or DC, what frequency, what voltage.
Central Planning runs into problems when the planners are separated by many layers from the realities of the situation.
It's not that simple. To get an idea, watch a bunch of CSPAN/CSPAN2.
Ok, I'll bite.
First,/. is biased, biased in favor of Linux, biased in favor of Open Source (whatever that really means).
Second,/. likes to stir up controversy, with the result that the commentary is usually much more interesting and informative than the linked articles.
Third, for anyone coming from outside, the flame wars help identify the major players, and occasionally even some useful informations.
There seems to be some kind of natural progression from Windoze to Linux to BSD, with a number of people running a mix. My idea of "World Domination" is half the destops running OpenBSD, but them I've got a warped sense of humor;-)
Core memory.
Magnetic cores with interlaced wires. Bulky, slow, and expensive. If you laugh about 640k "being enough", think about 64k byte mainframes.
>>"Upgrade your crufty old datacenter. Windows NT not required".
Bingo. Actually, the openness will allow IBM (and its competitors) to sell more hardware, support, services, whatever you want to call it. Curiously, by lowering the bar to competition, IBM is better positioned to dominate the mainframe market. Mainframes allow you to do something big and complicated, synchronously! (Compare synchronous and asynchronous coding;)
Because it's fun. Because of the public scrutiny resulting from the still ongoing trial and appeals, there's not really much that Microsoft can do about it.
His _was_ relevant and _is_ relevant. Not redundant, worth repeating.
Yours is a repetition of nothing and is redundant.
Gotta watch out for things that are satisfied vacuously;)
Looks like they are trying to patent emailing a link to a web-page. That plus any kind of web-server log would seem to cover the area. Beyond that, it seems like some kind of encoding to keep track of whatevery you want to keep track of would be rather obvious, with lots of ways to do it differently. An address used to convey information has lots of prior art, like using the name to carry ingo in a collect phone call.
If OpenSSH changes its name to, say, OpenNSA, then nsa becomes the "in" word for securely telnetting into a remote system and ssh becomes a has-been term.

of the Registry and all the other fun places the configuration is stored in. Older versions of .DLLs, etc that were upgraded. Did you forget anything?
Ducks and runs for cover.

This is Microsoft. What has logic to do with anything?
At least until the buying public wises up.

Looks like Microsoft has found its niche, Entertainment, not Computing.

Even most -UNSTABLE are safer than NT.
Yep. That's why IBM is on the bandwagon.
like IBM Developer Works, IBM e-business and Software News Alert, etc.

Personally, I'm for draggin this out, as long and as loud and as publicly as possible.

It's called (drumroll, if you please) INNOVATION!
Unix is _unreasonably_ stable.
Sounds like Microsoft, somehow.

With or without the cost of the Love Bug and its successors?
