Just to mention it. - You were changing platforms. Maybe they would've been less reluctant to go with Linux on pSeries? I don't know. It still depends on who will run this and to whose sales people you were talking.
btw: IBM's apache server (IHS) is just a download away on the webpage. - It's just a little bit different from the apache anyone can download from apache.org, that's true.
Well, based on absolute numbers you seem to be right, but I wouldn't underestimate the importance of the Software Group.
They're still one of the fastest growing segments and in 2Q05 it had higher revenue than PSG and IGF combined.
Software really adds value across all the products and the products are used by many corporations. It's not only Lotus Notes/Domino, but Tivoli, DB2, and WebSphere. - And don't forget the newly-integrated Rational that's also part of the SWG now.
Though it was only a multiple-access medium. There was no carrier sense and no collision detection. Actually the message recipient had to request a retransmission. How ancient.
172.128.0.0/10 is on the DUL list and therefore should only be able to send emails through their ISPs mail servers. - If someone else allows them to post directly, so be it.
Why should the ISP assume responsibility?
I still don't get why we don't have RRs that make it possible for a receiving mail server to check if the sending mail server is a mail relay for the sender domain.
I think you're wrong. This should be done on a user's machine and everyone should use his own certificate/encryption. If it's S/MIME or PGP/GPG I don't care.
And yes. A CA _can_ stop a spammer by just revoking the certificate and I can filter based on my friends/trusted CA list.
Everything else might go to the probable-spam folder. thanks!
Anyone who cares about security should setup their own site for their community and close it down and have it use SSL. This way it's also not such a big strain on CPU as this is only for a few people.
In addition you set the policy and shouldn't let anyone else in, so your posts can't be leaked. (Though you should be prepared for it, as anything that is on an internet-connected device has to be considered in-danger)
In addition I'm still not sure why people and businesses still use _unsigned_ and _unencrypted_ mails. If mails would be signed from the merchant or journal site it would be much easier to catch fake mails! How hard can it be?
I guess we'll soon have really fucked-up e-commerce websites if more people start to use this technique and robots from multiple sites start to underbid each other.
Could you please be more verbose about this setup? From what I've heard you need a bigger system to support the Sun Ray's software and the software costs huge amounts of money.
Could you please tell us how much you paid for it (and the software)? thanks!
I thought these are News for Nerds. How can this be news for nerds? This is the 3rd posting on/. about this topic and it won't change cause it's not a big problem and won't cause any severe damage.
Please... stop posting FUD to slashdot. It just sucks...
btw: This one was posted to "security" and the last ones were posted to "the internet" but who cares?
I have to say that I'm more concerned with something else.
If Linux is working unix-like I still find that okay, but Linux is more and more getting user-friendly and is no more really unix-like in some cases.
Aside from Debian (and it is also becoming increasingly strange) and Slackware all linux distributions are getting more and more eye-candy you can't work with in a real server environment. I just don't get it.
Not necessarily. I guess they'll most likely build a whole cluster of these to make it more reliable and work around some of the instabilities by throwing more machines on it which are cheap with x86 hardware.
Well... Today I think it's still an easy sell with enterprise features for big machines still lacking in Linux. It'll be much harder to convince people in a few years:-)
Today a few weeks on an AIX or Solaris reconditioning camp will do the rest...
Don't you think it's pretty much obvious that Linux hurts Unix more than Windows? - Therefore I think "Unix is Dead" is still a pretty fair assessment.
I wouldn't have been so harsh but if you're a CIO and need a catchy slide that makes headlines and even brings you on/. then it might be ok:-)
If opengroup says it's not UNIX and it's not derived from any Unix source I guess it ain't Unix.
As much as you want Linux to be UNIX, it isn't.
It may be unix-like but I guess there are many reasons for why it's not Unix. Just ask this question in one of the solaris or aix newsgroups and you'll have plenty of people to discuss this issue with:-)

I'm not sure which kind of SSO you're looking for, but SORUA might be an interesting thing to look at.

Well... My oracle tells me I should use DB2. Who's the Oracle you're talking about?

You can't just read your mails at google now, you can also convert units there... and they got it right.

Really not what we're used to today.
Bow before me cause I'm CSMA/CD!

If you're using SSL between browser and server you'll instantly get a notification from your browser that the page has been modified.
Why not start using that more extensively?
If we'd have this feature we'd clearly be ahead in system uptimes, wouldn't we?
And you seriously want to blame Java for an application that uses too much memory?
I guess we'll soon have really fucked-up e-commerce websites if more people start to use this technique and robots from multiple sites start to underbid each other.
Will they start to sell items for $-1??
Troll.
1) RSS is majorly broken because of it's pull behavior. Many sites get overloaded and you never know when you miss data. That plainly sucks.
2) POP3 and IMAP are pull protocols. Did that help us with the SPAM problem? No.

make that 2GB. - Now your PowerBook w/ 1GB RAM looks outdated, eh? :-)

AFAIK Unix's main feature is that it is cheap and runs on small Midrange architectures.
;-)
Is there anyone out there selling a Mainframe with Unix? Any links?
btw: A z900 sold with Linux doesn't count as it is not Unix

truth spoken... finally.
would you be able to provide a link to this article. Might be interesting to go back in time and read this thread again. tnx.
