No, absolutely. Please order a server from Dell (i mean, HP sell *serious* Servers) which should serve as the central file server for 10000s of users.
I think sun failed because they strayed from the path, namely to focus on a client-server architecture which avoids decentralized maintenance tasks.
When i worked with suns they had 2 or three major bonus points and none was related to price, all related to software features which reduced the TCO. It was easily possible to maintain a *lot* of machines for CIP pools without putting much work in.
And they were the first to promote thin clients heavily after the rise of the PC. Since Windows dominated the PC market back then totally, these remained niche solutions.
The other bonus points were the excellent documentation. Even *if* i worked with linux for a long time, when testing opensolaris ten years after working with solaris, i still found it easy to *reliably* figure out how to accomplish a specific task by reading the manual - and *not* hitting in the core of the management functions on undocumented programs (hello, linux networkmanager on Ubuntu).
Their economic failure was connected to the incapability to use java for getting some serious money in. I.e. they did not manage to establish j2me as a visible standard (it *is* in many phones). In some sense i see the charge of oracle against google as a late attempt to correct this.
The University i studied at bought a (As far as remember, its the only system matching the spec which i remember) Ultra Enterprise 4000 in around 1996 or 1997.
Servers from 2005 to 2007 are unsuitable for production?
The usual life cycle for a server may be slightly longer than 4 years. When i worked in the computing center there were single solaris machines which had specific tasks which were about 10 years old, even the solaris terminal/web servers were in use for 6-8 years.
For a serious (not in terms of the size) database server i would hope that its possible to operate it for longer (but obvious that does not mean you need a new OS, if the old one is still patched).
Exactly. If you cant provide what they want, then they wont use it.
If it *would* be so much cheaper cheaper to save testing cycles, anybody could set up a company which does exactly that and sell support for it.
Red hat, Ubuntu, Novell etc do this for linux. If you dont like kernel.org release schedule, and still have updates, use a distribution.
If there would be market for it, then the companies which are hit worst in this case (e.g. big companies with a lot of internal products to be tested against) could spin off an own firefox.
If there is no market for it (and that how one could interpret it) then asking Mozilla to do something is not going to help. If IE is the last thing which hinders the adoption of linux on the desktop, then the linux distributors could do that.
If you find that testing that it is cheaper if you all put some money together to found a small foundation which has the purpose of continuing another development branch, just do so.
I imagine if it takes that 50% people *more* to test it, then just use 25% of these people and put them in this foundation to bug fix and security fix old versions.
Nobody is stopping you from this (at least no the licenses).
Would the game design allow any substantial choices, then this method would not make sense for the first owner. On the other hand, in this way no first owner can actually experience by himself how limited the game may be in choices. Should actually reduce the production cost. But may make the experience more like watching a movie. So i hope the price is similar to going to cinema.
No its not odd. A lot of lawyers would wait to kick the shit out of MS or its customers for being non-accessible and sue for an insane amount of money. For MS producing an OS which is non-accessible would put them of the buying list of large customers.
Actually i believe one reason why Apple is targeting consumers is because labor laws can be more harsh when it comes to euqal chances than consumer laws.
Yes, thats right. The simplest way to write a cross-platform app is to write as must as possible in ANSI C and then bind it using appropriate glue code to the different platforms.
I did this from time to time (lets just say in the lab i find it enough if every oscilloscope or auxiliary control computer has a keyboard flying around without a mandatory mouse.
The gnome desktop was hard to navigate, Windows for sure possible and more consistent across applications.
Before anything else, answer a few questions seriously to yourself
-why do you believe you make a good coder?
-do you belief learning a specialization of coding will help you with the current task professionally or do you believe coding skills in general will make you more valuable for your employer?
-is there a timescale on your career where you see that a missing formal or informal qualification blocks you, and if so, when?
-Do you want job security, personal fun, or a payrise? (or all)
Please understand that "i am happy at my job and think about learning ruby for rails" does not qualify for me as a complete motivation to use time and energy for it.
No, i got the point. And the synchronization with the sun is also tricky. However if it needs to be wound up every hundred years, then its *not keeping the time without intervention*. And a 100% sapphire lens is *not* a purely mechanical technology.
Making lenses is much more complicated than making a simple wire-wound coil.
How stupid doe she have to be to be a cop and try to steal something in the single area, which is not only probably videotaped, but the best videotaped area for sure, with the best cameras, and where videotapes will be definitely kept for some time?
if i want to contribute computing power somewhere for free then there are ways to do it already
if wikipedia needs money, i can donate something or pay something.
But *please* i use wikipedia often, maybe primarily, on my tablet. I dont think that abusing an ARM processor running on Battery power connected via an instable and slow internet connection will help a lot.
No. If you try to repair it, then i predict really bad chances using bronze age technology. WIth bronze age technology, a clock consisting of electromechanical relais would be more realistic to repair. You can build circuits which are very tolerant to manufacturing deviations. If you use vacuum switches, this will work for a long time.
Yes. If it requires any attendance on the scale of 100 years, then i know many cheaper, more accurate and stable methods to do it. Clock normally work over 100s of years. and if you build them electronically using high-grade components and the right circuit type, then i have no doubt you can build them redundantly with power for a longer time. The clocks on the Voyager work for over 30years and they were limited by external limitations in a substantial way.
A software could identify files which were downloaded. But it can never detect legally whether you have the right to listen to that file. Unless of course oly drmd files are considered to be legally ok.

So the regular supported time would have been 14 years and the extended supported time would have been longer.
Honestly, reminds me of some lab i have seen up to now.

Medical insurance included.
The profile of an intelligent, dangerous, hidden sleeper terrorist waiting for a long time for a chance, using her age as a disguise.
Yes, massively.
The Oil has also to be brought to the power plant, and transporting the oil inside the US or Europe is not the largest factor.
That has happened before so many times you cant count.
Yes, and there are even more non-free ones. Having email without any PITA and weird TOS is worth 50Euro/Year.
Well. But nobody paid google to put deliver the ad via gmail.

ohhh you are talking about the software center; i thought you mean synaptics.
Non-noobs use apt directly.
