why not move to an operating system that properly supports it?
And what's up with 4500 servers? What a nightmare! Who in their right mind would want to deploy and manage 4500 servers?
Congratulations, you've saved me a lot of time answering your question. They don't want to change from FreeBSD because they've hundreds of servers with it. And even if it was a change for J2EE do you think they would magically dump every code ever written for BSD?
No, they will do it gradually, like most enterprise software changes are made. You change one part, then another, then another. Yahoo! simply can't throw away everything they've ever written, just to use J2EE.

Going from something speedy and efficient to PHP.
Also it's easier to load custom extensions on PHP, specially if they are done in C/C++, which is Yahoo's case. Code changes needed are smaller if they want to have all the old stuff working with the new.

I'm not understanding the reasoning behind choosing php over perl
You haven't read the article. There's a whole page for "Why not Perl?"
Filesystem is faster. Mysql's page about optimization also says this. I guess database makers don't want you to know this because they want their database used more.
So simple, the root servers were getting attacked! Yesterday my brother told me Counter Strike's ping was too high, 200ms. I am from Brazil, but for brazilian CS servers we get 30ms or 50ms. I told him I didn't had any idea why the ping was so high, and now I can't explain! How come will I make him understand that "Root DNS Servers for IP address" were getting attacked?
I will just say that our new dog ate a part of the phone's wire.

Perhaps the margins aren't that good, but are enough to drive MS out of the field.
If RedHat (or any other company) just make enough to keep their business going on, people won't choose to pay MS money. This' Ballmer's problems, since MS makes money selling software...
There's a PHP script called drupal that has a "throttle" module. Jeremy, the owner of Kernel Trap, developed it after many/. stories with links to his pages.
It generates static files (similar to caches) when access is too high. You can check drupal's cvs (drupal -> modules -> throttle) or go straight to it.

Why should we use ethanol? Besides its superior performance characteristics, ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline; it is a completely renewable, domestic, environment friendly fuel that enhances the nation's economy and energy security. Today the U. S. imports more than half of its oil, and overall consumption continues to increase. By supporting ethanol production and use, U.S. drivers can help reverse that trend.
85% ethanol can reduce pollution. Government tests have shown that E85 vehicles reduce harmful hydrocarbon and benzene emissions when compared to vehicles running on gasoline.
E85 can also reduce carbon dioxide (CO2), a harmful greenhouse gas and a major contributor to global warming. Although CO2 is released during ethanol production and combustion, it is recaptured as a nutrient to the crops that are used in its production. Unlike fossil fuel combustion, which unlocks carbon that has been stored for millions of years, use of ethanol results in low increases to the carbon cycle.
Ethanol also degrades quickly in water and, therefore, poses much less risk to the environment than an oil or gasoline spill.
Btw...

This question is irrelevant, only the actual time and amount of data the system is supposed to handle off-line should be counted.
Let's imagine that a toy store uses two servers, Linux and Windows. The Windows server crashed in January and the incompetent sysadmin took 10 months to fix it, thus november we have the system back.
At this time, the Linux crashes but just stay down for two months instead of 10. Sadly, it's offline during november and december.
If you take the losses that each server produced and divide it per a time period (say, a month), this amount will lead you to the conclusion that the Windows machine is better than Linux, because, well, toy stores sell more during november and december (christmas!)
So, "how much" they lost while offline is irrelevant. The toy store was just an example, but for a more real situtationimagine that a Linux server stays down for 20 seconds, and you've lost a huge contract or sale because a client was browsing your webpages and decided to go elsewhere.
