its called ab for apache bench or something similar. its found in most distros already installed and its fairly good at load testing. just see man ab if you have apache installed or look on apache.org for ab. its shipped as a part of apache anyway.
have you tried afterstep ? it has the NeXT style thing at the top and its customizable enough so you can add buttons to the upper right hand box if you want to or remove it altogether or just replace it with an X to kill the wm. The "menus" all drop down whenever you click on any part of the background and it can be customized fairly easy with text config files to exactly how you describe AmigaDOS.
well..i cant speak for all programmers but looking for a job is a full time job in itself. going for interviews, applying for jobs, looking up ads, interviewing etc etc. Also the tech downturn has left some of us no other option but to start with commercial projects in case we loose our existing jobs. part time work is also another thing that sucks up time. at times like these its better to have a full time AND a part time job as a fallback and that sucks up time.
dibona - its about godamn time VA got its act together. i've been bitchin about this for months on/. -- sourceforge is about the only viable thing VA research ever had. Now market the hell out of sourceforge and put it in a box that anyone can pick up from a catalogue. sell it for the same price category as rational does for its tools and sell sell sell the hell out of it. oh, and make it cross platform so PHB's running doze can also use it internally. splitting up components and selling em seperately is also good. another method fo doing it is to bundle hardware with sourceforge (so i can pick up a 1U Athlon with sourceforge loaded and ready to go) even if its not your own. Offer something like cobalt systems preloaded with sourceforge..sun will sign on pretty easily as a partner to push cobalt boxes.
thats about the only way VAR will be able to survive. 80 million or no..you still need to think like a software development house...even if part of your work is open sourced.
software should not be owned ? who said that ? the only reason for copyrighting and patents is to get around the stupid laws which exist to deny people the right to share code. thats the whole point of the free software movement.
if we patent all our ideas and make em freely available it prevents others from patenting them and locking them up in proprietary licenses. its a way to get around the stupid situation which exists in this country. nothing more nothing less. and i dont see how hypocrisy has anything to do with the goals of making open source software available to anyone who wants it with the minimum of restrictions..
bla. you clearly have never used a panasonic toughbook. its a flat-out world dominating laptop. rugged as hell (to mil specs) and crisp 14" screen, reasonably light and fully decked out like mine (wireless internet, regionless DVD, CDRW, 802.11b, joystick, touchpad, 384Megs RAM, 20Gig HDD, 120meg floppy, GPS, radio/tv capability (wintv USB+FM chipset), xircom ethernet/modem (no dongle required), geforce2go accl video) running dual boot debian linux/win2k it kicks arse.

no. they started.NET in case the justice department succeeded in having them broken up. in that case bill & co would move to the.NET fragment (applications company) and leave the other half (OS company) to die. thus keeping M$ intact. since the justice dept failed, they can now consolidate by putting hooks into doze and leveraging both the platform and the platform independant infrastructure. its very smart for M$...quite impressive.
BTW, why do you guys have so many O200s ? Why not replace em with a couple of 64 CPU O2000 or O3000s ?
and how many programmers do studios typically employ ? the article mentioned a coupla million lines of code which is a heck of a lot.
outsource it to hushmail. they give you strong encryption and web based email with attachments fully encrypted. they'll handle your domain nicely and are really reliable.
dont do it. taurine and alcohol certainly react together in ways that are really bad for your liver -- even in moderate quantities.
if you dont follow the instructions clearly labelled on the can youre setting yourself up for a world of hurt. its the same as mixing prescription drugs and alcohol.
i agree..but that doesnt make it as safe as a chemical rocket. that said -- im all for nuke engines - its the only thing that will push us into space as a decent rate and cost.
question : what compelling components of.NET cant be performed by existing technologies ?
answer : everything. RPC calls thru a firewall. service discovery on remote websites. the ability to call services you know nothing about and get data the way you want it. remote business logic processing. all wrapped in a nice HTTP compliant protocol layer with XML so your code can parse data it knows nothing about.
That said : Java with SOAP (a.NYET technology) can do all of the above. try it if you dont believe me : http://xml.apache.org...click on SOAP, download tomcat and install it. then play and be amazed.
its an expert system. searching thru rules and drawing conclusions..the same set each time. its deterministic -- and thats the problem. it doesnt have coherence.
exodus is having problems.. see here :
http://forum.fuckedcompany.com/phpcomments/index .p hp?newsid=13119209103&page=1&parentid=0&crapfilter =1
Also exodus has burned thru nearly 500mil in 6 months of their $1bil cash reserves. not good.
yes. if you want to know where
stuff is look at http://www.visualroute.com...try the demo servers..its a java applet which
does a visual traceroute and reverse DNS lookup.
get Pluto from these guys : http://www.businessbasic.com/plutointro.htm (its like 1 grand) and you can do all the stuff you want to do including transfer data in parallel by multiplexing upto 19 serial ports at 9.6K each from the MAI to a PC.
your analysis is correct. what you havent accounted for is that MSFT knows this. they *know* that they will take a hit...their product manager was interviewed a few months back and he stated bluntly that XBox was going to drain M$'s revenues and cash position *significantly* for a short time. Thats why Office XP and windows XP are also coming out at roughly the same time or as a staggered launch -- they will help cover costs of the XBox to offset the drain. After that the XBox will blow away PS/2's and other game consoles and take control of the market which is when their profits will increase by a huge factor.
Its a gamble...but then M$ has always been unafraid to gamble. Theres also the issue of C# and.NET which despite its hype and marketspeak is actually fairly decent as a language (blatantly ripping off Java will get you that)...decent enough to allow me to seriously consider switching to NET development even though i code 99% of the time in linux with Java. Its so easy that theres no learning curve required..i picked it up in 5 minutes....easy enough so that miguel from GNOME actually said he liked programming in C#.
bottom line is -- M$ may actually win this time. their platforms are becoming seriously attractive from the language C# (no braindead C++) and stability (hate to admit it but win2k isnt too bad..not as good as any unix but its not revolting either..).
i'll continue using linux as i always have and as long as i can but if M$ wins this time and linux/unixes cant connect to.NET services it might make sense to hop over the fence...in which case its another dark age for the IT industry like in the 90s....again..
not a good future.
yeah..localhost.com sued. but they didnt win. they just lost on lawyers fees and the spammers lost on their court costs and lawyers fees. the judge threw out the suit.

at&t global also provides global ip access...its pretty costly tho.

yup. i got a panasonic toughbook with 14.1" active matrix 1024x768 LCD and DVD for under $1K.
damn good machine. runs debian flawlessly.

its not a CPRM device. its an ATA66./ 5002mplspec.shtml
see the specs here : http://www.toshiba.com/taecdpd/techdocs/MK5002mpl
its also got a 3sec spin up time and consumes 1.5 W average power -- thats a bit hefty.
