No, let's say you and 4 friends all have adsl, 640/128. The four friends all have a file you want to download. Getting it from one of them will give you a 128k download, due to their upstream cap. If you grab chunks from all of them at once, you can get it at 512k.
Does he have any background in embedded systems? He seems about as qualified as me reviewing pacemakers. I think prettiness is overrated in a system like this.
I agree that Netscape was initially better, but they sat on their asses for too long instead of improving their own browser. Arguing about what caused what is hard, because Netscape was giving it up themselves. How long did it take them to get from 4.x to anything? Rendering on IE was so much smoother and didn't cause your machine to completely stall before the appearance of a page. I still like Netscape 4.75 more than mozilla because it "feels" better to me, the back arrow always works, etc, but I don't like the feeling of nervousness when loading big pages while waiting to see if it will actually draw, or stall forever and take my other windows with it.
The browser war was Netscape's to lose, and they did, but it was more their fault than anyone will admit.
It looks like one of the graphics guys was messing around. Look at the text on the picture for "Organize with Ease", the top artist listed is "Spanker Madness", but if you click on it, it changed to "Mad Man". The following song title stays the same, though. I guess "Spanker Madness" is a good way to describe what they are trying to do...
AOLserver is a very advanced product. In many ways it's still ahead of Apache in terms of scripting language integration, database pooling, and scaling due to it's multithreaded architecture. On an operating system like Linux that doesn't spread threads as well as processes among cpu's it's not as much of a gain, but on an OS like Solaris it's a bigger gain.
I am running into 4 gig limitations now, and anyone with a reasonably sized Oracle server is too. Once you give Oracle 1/2-3/4 of your ram for caching, there's not too much left for the rest of the OS.
Part of the reason for the scarcity is because Sun (and other companies like Cisco) go to auctions and other places that machines like this are sold used and buy them, either to refurb themselves or to dispose of/sit on. All of the companies going out of business and dumping their equipment is killing the new market. Even if Sun buys a machine for the same cost as they would sell it to you, their numbers look better in terms of new machine sales.
I'm not saying I agree with the rehash part, just that it does exist. I think for the amount of computing power I have on my desk, it's a fair tradeoff to look through a dozen directories for executables.
I tried it with the version of wine that came with redhat 7.2. The window shows up but there are tons of error messages going by. Trying to enter a url causes it to die and go into the debugger. The buttons at the top of the window are only about 10x10 pixels, so something isn't loading.
There are idioms in any language that if you just decide to pick up a language, you could miss. I spent an hour when I was trying to learn Perl to figure out how to read from stdin. Once I figured out that $_ was useful, it got easier. If you are used to one language, or a pair of syntactially similar languages (C & php, for example), no amount of head scratching will help you figure out perl.
I can see some merit in that, but if you pass on maintenance to someone else, you could have just increased the number of people required to support the project, or require the new developers to learn more new languages before they can be useful. It's easier to find someone skilled in foo than to find someone that knows foo, bar, baz, etc.
I don't know for sure, but I think Miguel was in the movie Antitrust (ugh). It looked like him in the background on a clip that was shown with the main guy in it.
This would be an example of what you learn at school being inconsistent with what you need to do when you are out of school. It seems to directly contradict the existence of group projects.
That's a good point, but we've done the same thing with terrorism. We (US) don't knowingly harbor any, most other nations don't knowingly harbor any, but there's always someone that will.
There isn't really a speed difference between java and php, depending on how the jsp engine of your servlet runner works. I'm willing to trade off some runtime speed for ease of development, connection pooling, and a consistent database api out of the box.
I think Resin is one of my favorite pieces of software. I tried for a week to get Tomcat 3.2 integrated with our (admittedly odd) Apache config with no luck. The ssl config was horrible and you needed to restart apache and tomcat if you changed your config files. I got Resin configured and running with SSL in about an hour. It will automatically reload itself if the config file changes. The connector between apache and resin will automatically reconnect if you restart one or the other, also. It was more than worth the money.
And you would be wrong. You can run fiber all the way across Iowa for what it would cost you to go a few miles through Manhattan or LA. It seems like every time I head out on a 2 lane highway there is a crew burying 4-6 fiber conduits. Figure out how much bandwidth you can fit into a 1" or 2" pipe.

There is a nice one at http://www.seekingsuccess.com.
Who is it and will this affect all of the other distributions? Perhaps some other company makes a yast??

What's the problem with AOLserver? They bought it because they used it, and then released the code under the MPL and GPL. How evil is that?

Perhaps you've seen the rehash command in the C shell? It does what you describe.

I don't think Tim is still at VA, he's back in Des Moines now.

We're using moreover for their javascript based feeds. It seems to be okay. They have quite a few of them available. individual.com has some also.

Are there different licenses for projects like Tomcat? Can you deploy them legally?
Where did you get the dancing Brak?
