called me the other day to discuss what I may need in the future.
I asked for a server, but said it must run Linux.
He said, "Our hardware is agnostic, it mostly runs anything. We push Windows because we get paid for it, we do not push one Linux distro over another as they do not pay."
Take it for what it is worth.
Still not sure if the hardware in the servers he quoted will be supported by my distro of choice, Debian.
I got Vista on a Dell laptop, work related - don't start. And there is no way in hell I am paying an extra $10 for media, just so I can wipe my arse with it!
1) explain what a beowulf cluster is 2) make soviet russia joke 3) make netcraft reference 4) Accidentally click on huge ass banner ad 5) Slashdot profits!!!
... a note pops out that reads: "The parachute for this pack was proprietary and therefore not included. A more free and open parachute is in development on parachuteforge and will be ready for beta testing probably sometime in the next six months. Developers and seamstresses are welcome to volunteer."
Sorry, couldn't help it. I can hardly stop laughing hard enough to post about Bruce Perens and his chute, but he surely has insurance.
The reason people often roll their own "trivial bits" of software is not so they get the best quality. It is so the developers have full comprehension of the code and that it follows the guidelines they use for their projects.
There are enough faulty assumptions about code you developed internally. Why should one keep trying to cram the square peg into the round hole. Sure you can shave it down, refactor the block all you want. But it may well prove to be faster and better to craft the piece you need.
Diversity does not hurt in the long term. If everyone just followed the status quo, and reused the same blocks of code, how boring would that be?
5. Go back to school, get PhD in anything, apply for job at Google as a janitor, and Profit!
And the Microsoft Zealots will be...

If this technology ever came to be, I would like to visit all of my old professors, most especially the math professors. And NO, I am not interested in getting their knowledge of math directly from their brain. I really, REALLY want to give them back everything I got from their classes. I can't think of a worse thing I could ever do.
But I guess this will be useful if Aliens discover them. Of course they will be mad as hell at us when they give the probe to their kid to play with and it gets its tentacles blown off!
will be a lone geek with a sleek black impervious computer with a turbo boost and advanced artificial intelligent (for the 80's) that sounds like William Daniels.

KFED doesn't have to work at Mickey D's, cause he done gave Britney the "special sauce" twice over at least!
I was afraid to read the article because I may one day be a FOSS developer and I didn't want to "contaminate" myself.
I believe posting a comment should be perfectly safe, since this is Slashdot and nobody RTFA anyway.
They will tell you how to get rid of all those electrons...just one catch, you have to get rid of all your thetans first.
And that will cost you big time.

Can we all agree that POS stands for Piece of Shit and not Point of Sale?
Thank God, for a second I thought it was just another Tool Without An Interesting Name.
I hear Dr Curt Connors has a reputation for being cold-blooded.
My mother lives in Odessa, TX.
A most dreary place. My grandfather calls it the "Asshole of the World".
I think that is because it is surrounded by buttes.
Sam knows people are never going to "evolve" into better creatures, so they have to be controlled!
... to at least include a picture.
What was that? You managed to get some service(s) without giving out your Social Security number?
Well, that was just plain UnAmerican!
... is there something somewhere else blowing?
And no, that wasn't a Spaceballs reference!

... in the end it matters not. They both leave a bad taste in your mouth!
Probes do not have to self destruct by design!

... my computer dual boots Win98 and Debian Woody.
I'm not so behind the technical curve... don't ask about my cellphone. Tunez sounds great!
Remember the lame ass Star Trek Insurrection, or whatever they called it... little probes "tagging" people for transport.
Now imagine them killing people, and homing in on the "tagged" people.
Just downloaded Seamonkey to replace Mozilla. So this is what it feels like to have a current browser!
Hopefully it fixes the jump/select issue I had with Slashdot and Mozilla.
