absolutely. Get this into freebsd and linux, and we'd have a true winner on our hands. Yet another killer feature that would allow bsd and linux to continue to take over the enterprise
Heck, did he even use hdparm to set the drive characteristics under linux? I dont see much worth in these tests. If someone wants to bench ide vs scsi, they need to grab the most modern drives out there, as near in size as possible, and make sure they are all configured correctly.
Then throw in sata drives as well, just to see whats up.
I was thinking the same thing... those raptors are supposed to scream... BUT, they arent exactly the old breed of ATA drives anymore.
the lack of cpu usage needed is still what cuts it for me w/ scsi. IDE may be as fast, etc, but on a high load, real time performance server, SCSI is a must, any way you cut it.
Why? Because while OO is good-great at compatibility... its not *perfect*
And until companies can be absolutely sure that they will have *no* issues/hassles/lost time because they arent using the tried and true method, they wont consider it.
Its just a fact. Same with exchange. So, until MS fully opens up their document standards etc, or another standard becomes prevalent, its just not good enough.
even better, this quote will get a big *no shit sherlock* and a big *SUCKERS!!!*

true, but on the other hand, the moment they released quake and quake2, there was such a huge influx of cheating, that it pretty much killed the left over communities... plus dont forget that you dont see id releasing quake3 or doom3's source... they only released quake and quake2 because they dont see that they will be making any respectable amount of money off of it anymore...
sure, there were some really cool versions released like tenabrea etc.
if done correctly it *might* be lucritive, but from an online multiplayer standpoint, it gets realllly tough.
I think the whole point was, that Apple when they released their first g5 machines, said they were the FIRST 64bit personal desktops....
This was of course incorrect, as there were I think 2 companies that had already released opteron based workstations, IE desktops w/ agp cards and what not, designed for graphics development and what not...
Apple was even called on this if I remember correctly at their public release, and the apple guys were like "ummmmmmm.... we are unaware of that"
but that didnt stop them from continuing to say that they were first to the 64bit desktop.... of course not...
yeah, I dont see how this is really going to be taken seriously, esp w/ this p2p idea...
I mean, its a great idea to watch the govt officials that are so intent on watching us... but honestly, there is no way this will be taken seriously by the rest of the public and media... they will just brush 99% of it off to conspiracy nuts and smear campaigns...
The only chance would be to make it look like a professional site, and of course have it BE a professional site... having it use some underground p2p network will make it more or less useless...
the funny thing is, is that this ars technica article on the original subject quotes a bmg rep saying that they fully knew that holding the shift key would get people past it...

so if they knew it was weak/useless, then why did they release it? And how could they get pissed when someone points out how weak it is???
I went to get AVG the other day to put on a friend of the family's old celeron (her mcaffee expired 2 years ago )
and Everywhere on the avg site it mentioned only a 30 day trial.... So I assumed it was no longer free for personal use. Was I wrong in that assumption?
I ended up using the free-av antivir or what ever its called... she uses compuserv anyways, so I wasnt too inordinately concerned about her getting a virus...
Yep, you are right. In my lack of coffee, I just spouted off the last two major viruses without really thinking, as most viruses in the last few years have been email...
I can be a clod yes, but insensitive??? NEV4R!!!:)
Think of the email virus/worm consequences...

This could do wonders... One of the ways that the latest email viruses/worms have been so effective, is that they tend now to randomly spoof the from lines after mining valid emails so that its harder to figure out *who* it is that is sending you the infected email....
If this system were globally in place, email worms like sobig and blaster would have never gotten as big as they did, so easily...
I may be wrong, but I thought the derivative work aspect/clause was only applicable because it was in the contract between ibm and sco... its not like if sco wins that aspect, that it will efffect anyone but ibm...
sco is screwed, no doubt about it. Linux will easily be able to replace any code that actually belongs to sco. just the fact that they have been caught red handed stripping out the bsd copyrights should have the case thrown out as soon as a judge takes one look at it all imho.
true. but if your company is going to *not* use linux, or move away from linux, then they should just switch to the 2.2 kernel.
I think sco is full of crap. but its better to switch, than not utilize linux.
Its been stated over and over that the "code" is from the 2.4+ kernels. So if you are hesitant till the outcome, just switch to a 2.2.x kernel and move on with your life.
Granted, some hardware needs a 2.4+ kernel, but the vast majority of systems will run just great on a 2.2.x kernel.
thats just dumb. Has anyone grasped, that to get around sco's claims is to just use one of the 2.2.x kernels? they may not have some of the bells and whistles that the 2.4-2.6 kernels do, but still, they are damn stable, and reliable.
There are few machines that will not run just as well with the 2.2.x kernels as any of the recent kernels. In some cases even better according to some people.

I wish it werent so
yep. And I can only imagine what people will do with the quake3 source.... quake3 still rocks, nothing like a good cpma arena in my opinion.
even better, this quote will get a big *no shit sherlock* and a big *SUCKERS!!!*

thats all well and good, but can it be trusted? this *IS* slashdot...
I would like to see some server side polling or something of that nature.
heh.
that,and everyone i know who has tried vonnage, said it sucked and dropped it at their first opportunity...
hahah. I will bet money that even here on slashdot, IE takes up at least 90% of the browsers....
hmmmm. have they done this sort of tracking?
