Consider the many centuries we were building buildings before we had anything beyond a few guestimated best practices to assure that they wouldn't fall down. Eventually, the field matured and we figured out how to calculate the strength of a building in advance. Even then, it is only reletivly recently that we could do dynamic simulations. In spite of that, we still have mishaps.
In the past buildings were massively over engineered, because the engineer wasn't sure what the tolerances were. Witness Isenbard Kingdom Brunels arches, still in production use 170+ years later or Sir Christopher Wren's dome at St Pauls in London.
It isn't until recently that engineers have been able to not over engineer things. This however means that things don't last as long, for example Christopher Wren never knew that the area St Pauls was going to be bombed in 1942/3, but it survived (possibly due to the over engineering). Would modern buildings have survived? I'd say unlikely.
And Poland in 1939 was another great example of a country that knew just how to sit back and wait to be attacked before it did anything, all while Britain and France did nothing.
Nice on historyboy - the invasion of Poland caused Britain to declare war on Germany. Maybe you mean't Czechslovakia?
Who the hell cares if you compiled this on some archaic beast and now have to recompile? Here, I'll give you $10, go buy a machine that's 5x faster.
Same with all those "Damn, I just downloaded the ISO yesterday and now there's a new version... teeheeee" get a life. No one cares about you and your 9600 dialup connection you're saturating using archaic means of installing an OS. (read: iso based installs)
See, in 1984, the government lied to its people about the past, and went so far as to remove evidence of the real past. Anyone can pick up a history book/surf the web/watch TV and learn what I've just said.
But they don't do they?
And from the look of this Bin Laden has already won.
We had some people in from Suse presenting Suse Enterprise the otherday, the price is about the same as redhat. Only I think redhat + suse have a cut down version of their full enterprise software at a cut down price (less CPU's) for edge servers rather than database servers.
I'm right with you here, I recommend my relatives get Mac's when they ask me what they should get - they always ignore me and buy a PC - but that means I can not field their support requests and be smug about it, and thats what its all about right?
"A possible comparison would be if a banks records are hacked and destroyed, do you lose your money? I'm sure they have backups all over the place, but it's a similar concept."
Even if I did my bank is backed by the Bank of England so even if my bank went tits up I'd get my money back. When you enter into a game you make a pledge to play by the rules, if I deposit my real genuine pounds sterling into a bank they guarentee to look after it (and pay me interest;-)
What do the rules of these games say about this kind of situation?

Having a pre-written rendering engine wasn't an advantage enjoyed by Mozilla.
*ahem* Netscape ring any bells?
He said advantage!

IBM purchasing SCO is a clear victory for SCO + SCO's lawyers, this is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

It sounds like it could be dehydration, are you drinking 2/3 liters of water per day?
Have you stopped drinking caffinated products, and not replaced the liquid with something else?

I think there is a lack of priorities by the top managers at mozilla. How could making an installer be more important than making the brower faster.
You haven't quite got your head around this "open source" thing have you?

No but Solaris + WinNT worked on PPC IIRC.

From the article,
"was that Microsoft's sales people were so busy helping corporate clients shore up their networks that they could not close new deals."
I sure was glad my Microsoft salesman could help me with that firewall ruleset.

Already there.
How about reading the web page you link to?
As it says it only support 2.2.x + 2.3.x kernels, and only 1 cpu at that. I'd hardly describe that as "already there".

Have you considered Suse Open Exchange?
I'd keep all of the exchange zealots happy, and is significantly cheaper than exchange.

Whats the performance like on the V60x systems?
How do they compared to Dell 1750's say?

Get a grip - its only a f**king game!

Solaris 2.6 was EOSL July 26th 2003, they won't patch new issues. Only old ones - unless you have a special support contract.
Alex
no this is easy - everyone has the same holiday allowance - so if someone books a holiday they are just skipped while they are away.
