But they're also expensive. I don't think I've ever heard of them in a single-family structure.
Funny - friends just moved into a brand new place (single family) out here in the San Diego area. Their place had sprinklers in it - which I'd never seen before, either.
I bet that cost varies a lot depending on where you live. Since it was put into a new home, I'm guessing it might be cheaper in the region.
Just because they both have PCI doesn't mean that i386 and PPC are the same in every respect. This is obvious to anybody who has sat down and thought about this for a minute.
Yeah, I was crazy to think this ATI AGP vid card would work with a Mac - which often uses ATI AGP vid cards.
What was I thinking!?!?
Oh, and a nit: I don't think i386's ever shipped with PCI slots, did they?
The boss I asked for the raise started the business.
He maintained the code back in the 70's.
At the peak, he employed around 40 people.
The business routinely had profits in excess of 80% of the gross.
He kept the business running for more than 20 years before selling it.
He asked if I was worth it. I told him yes (I certanily was). He gave me the raise.
What kind of manager is that? If he knows what you are worth, why does he need to ask if you are worth it?
One of the best. The kind that knows how hard their employees are working, the quality they're producing, and whether or not they can be trusted to answer salary questions honestly. I'm sorry you haven't worked for any outstanding managers.
It all depends on the job. My "first real job" was for a small company. I had written some great software that was doing great things for the company.
I walked into the big boss's office and told him I wanted a raise. He asked what I was thinking. I told him. He asked if I was worth it. I told him yes (I certanily was). He gave me the raise. The whole dialogue took less than a minute.
What it boiled down to was this: they really didn't give raises unless you asked. They really also didn't know what IT was worth. They also really respected me because I'd been kicking ass for a couple of years.
It's similar to Microsoft's excuse for dropping IE for Mac. If you don't want to support Mac, then just don't support it. Don't blame it on competition when your product has been superior for years and recognized as such. If it's not selling well, reduce the price to sell more. If the Apple market is just too small, say so.
Come on. This is more econ 101. Here's how it works: If a company can make money putting out a product, they do it. If they can't (and they're smart), they don't. Adobe was on the edge, and Apple bumped them over - why should they try to compete in a marketplace of, what, 1000's of customers? And with the supplier of the OS and the Hardware to boot?
Here's another idea: M$ wasn't making any money on IE for the Mac. Hadn't ever. Weren't gonna. They knew that and they hadn't really put any effort into that software in some time. Apple provided them with a way to "bow out gracefully" and not piss off their OSX IE users (at them). It was a political move that followed WAY after the economic one.
It really seems like they tried to do a pretty even evaluation. And again, if the benchmarks were so off then why was the performance on the G5 apps so good? And that was without G5 tuning most likely.
Oh, yeah. Steve probably said "hey, vendors, come on over and do a little demo. Yeah, it'll be a duel, but don't worry about recompiling for the G5 (which is supposed to be trivial). We'll just see what happens."
Look -- they spent every last minute they could optimizing the builds they used for the demo - don't doubt it for a minute. On the other hand, every last minute probably wasn't all that long, and the demos did kick ass.
But let's call an Apple an Apple. This was a DEMO. Smoke and mirrors were involved. But I drank the cool-aid; I believe it's faster. Dunno how much, but I don't really care. Mostly I'm just happy it kicks the crap outta the systems they're shipping now.
Where's the problem here? Netflix came up with a genuinely new business model, for which they should be rewarded if anybody else wants to hop on the same boat. This isn't a blindingly obvious or overly broad patent like the "user clicks on a link and we sell them stuff" that we've seen before.
No, netflix didn't come up with a new model. We call this model "membership", and the public library does the same thing for $0/month - just not online. I don't think that adding the word "online" should justify a patent.
The drive-thru was a similarly revolutionary idea - whoever started it SHOULD have patented it...
Likewise, I don't think that buying stuff "from you car" is worthy of a patent.
I think the parent poster wants to use the 007 hack WITHOUT any hardware changes. As do I.
I'd like to see one of 2 options for this kind of thing: 1. Tell the system to "boot" from the CD after a brief pause after the game is shut down. Not sure if this is possible. 2. Tell the system where to mount from using an image on the network - TFT, SAMBA, NFS, whatever...
Yeah, who could possibly compare Unix machines that are great for running databases, web servers, and lots of math?
If you want just a dual processor Sun, then face it, you're a genuine novice. Sun produces hard-working number-crunching workstations and servers. You run Sun when you have to do something like heat-stress simulation on a 1,000+ part product.
Reality point #1: I work for a fortune N drug company, where N < 500, and may be less than 20 - I don't know offhand. We do lots of protein simulations. The most powerful boxes our (small) group has access to are: 2 CPU SUN boxes (expandable to 4, I think) for web apps and database, and a linux cluster of intel machines for the math junk. I don't know who these companies are that need 100 CPU blade systems! Oh, we do have a mighty fileserver, but I don't think it's a SUN machine. Reality point #2: most folks don't need to do 1000+ part heat stress simulations. And by most, I mean virtually all. Reality point #3: As noted above, we skip SUN to do our heavy math, and go right to clusters of cheap boxes. If they were a rack of XServes, things would probably be even faster for not all that much more.
In that light, how can you compare it to Apple's G5 lineup?
I dunno, Apples stuff looks pretty good to me.
I have no doubt that the G5 2.0 GHz is faster than the Sun's 1.2 GHz offering,... but when you can get a Sun Blade setup with 100+ processors, it's obvious that you're paying for the expandability.
I totally agree. I just don't know who needs it. It also looks like the folks that do don't usually go with SUN. Looking at another article on slashdot - the top 500 supers - the first SUN machine comes in at 212, and there are somewhere around a dozen in the list. The VAST majority are Xeons and IBM power series.
Apple is for personal computing and Sun is for professional computing and PC's are generally jacks of all trades, but masters of none.
When you say "Personal Computing", what do you mean? 'Cause I'm thinking that 8 Gig of RAM on a dual 2GHz system with half a terabyte of disk is more than I really need for my day-to-day use. I'm thinking that this is a business class machine - where "business" means the tremendous vast majority of businesses. I could probably run a database, a web server, AND word on that all at the same time (not that I would).
And they haven't even announced their next generation of XServes...
They may not have been in the same market before now.
They are in totally different markets!
SUN is in the "We sell really expensive hardware with pain in the ass UNIX software to anyone buying." market.
Apple is in the "We sell hardware for anyone up to any reasonable size, and it comes with friendly UNIX software. Some of it is a little expensive, but it all kicks ass." market.

When they brag about the new OS features, what do they say?
It also supports NetInfo which is similar in function to LDAP.
How sad that it is reduced to this. NetInfo is one of the finest resource administrative systems available. It is very unfortunate that it is languishing - mostly unused and un-talked about. (yes, every system uses it by default, but I'd say that most folks on a network don't use/understand it to a fraction of it's potential)

No other unixlike OS have been called a Unix before apple entered the arena.
Actually, I've called linux unix for years. I've called *BSD unix for years.
So you're wrong.

How are folks doing at hacking XBox? Only now can you (in theory) run arbitrary code on an XBox without doing hardware mods. How long has it taken?

Don't blame it on competition when your product has been superior for years and recognized as such. If it's not selling well, reduce the price to sell more.

I want to be able to play MP3s from my server on my stereo. The xbox is all hooked up - all I need is software.
The software exists - M$ just wouldn't let me run it.
Now I will be able to.

Why do Mac users insist on projecting their frustration and discontent with their own machines, on us innocent (.. and happier) Windows users?
Dude, yer cute.
I have a Win2K machine in the other room. If I was frustrated with Macs or OSX, I wouldn't be typing this from one.
If you don't care about your time or the quality of the software you use, you should stick with windows.
It's as easy as that.

I've heard from others that this is also true of regular (non-VPN) NFS mounts as well.
Whatever.
At work we always use NFS mounts except for builds (our NFS server is lousy, performance-wise - see it on other unixen, too). Have no problem.
I NFS mount my home directory from my laptop through a VPN (not PPCP - VTUN (see vtun.sf.net)). I drop connection all the time and have no problem.
Maybe you should try to avoid Samba...
