Stable means two things: 1) Not likely to fall over. 2) Not likely to change.
Lets assume that for definition (1) the two are equal (because Debian developers backport bug fixes). Security fixes will also be backported.
If you were upgrading through the apache releases to fix bugs you would also find your configurations would need to be tweaked - you can't guaranty that a config for vanilla 1.3.9 works with vanilla 1.3.24. With Debian's Apache package you can.
Do you use vim now? How come it didn't lose what made it useful when the gtk build stuck it in a window and added menus and buttons god knows how long ago?
Or is it that no real vim users have used it since version 4?
Come to think of it, I bet vi is a symlink to pico on your system.
Do they think we're so stupid that we are going to take open source ethics lectures from a website run and owned by VA Software? (Of course they do.) Add Slashdot to that long list of websites that could have so easily been better. This site is confused: On the one hand, it wants to be a site about media promotion of free and open software, and also a bastion of free speech and anti-censorship and a dis on corporate policies. It also wants to rag on its two stars, Rob 'CmdrTaco' Malda and Whatever 'Cowboy' Neal. And then, inexplicably, it wants to be a subscription site, spoiled by trolls, mod wars, page widening, first posting, crap +5 jokes, losers and whiners. You can't have it every which way, guys. The end result is a mish-mash site that is sometimes funny -- especially when Jamie and Sllort are going at one another -- but is mostly boring and lame. It always comes down to the writing, doesn't it?
Exchange is scalable. It's overkill for small offices and I've supported it for a government agency with 35,000 employees and 300 Exchange servers. It scales very well.
At an average of 116 users per exchange server you haven't convinced me that it scales well. Even if you had 30 servers instead of 300 I still wouldn't be very impressed.
The Predictive software creates a "Digital Silhouette" that is described as being able "to tell them that Joe watches a lot of baseball, likes Situation Comedies, and responds favorably to commercials that use humor."
So how does it intend to find out that Joe responds to commercials? Is the TV somehow connected to his bank account, or are they going to go for the old fashioned means of microphones?
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Former Beatle George Harrison has passed away in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon from cancer. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly a Great British icon.
Here is an outlandish thought: Why don't you use the Ultra 60 to learn Solaris and Linux over the next 18 months. Like that your boss and you could use Blender and see if there are any advantages with the open source way, and when you see there are, use it as a Debian install server for the other machines in the lab.

This article sounds like wishful thinking at its best.
Yes.

Hence it is more stable.
Not just that but there are also 11 architectures now - some of them are extremely slooooow (such as 68000 or arm) which doesn't help either.
1 gig? Maybe 2.
It would only be that if "beloved undergraduate English majors" was singular.
You could, and perhaps should, say
- Is this where our entire supply of beloved undergraduate English majors surface?

I don't know about you, but losing my home directory would be irritating. On a single person desktop machine, who cares about the rest of the system?
Wait until you exit that shell!
Good call, except it was Timothy himself who reposted the same damn story.

As long as enough people buy subscribtions, I don't think they care.
.uk2 is the top level domain for the UK on the Internet2. I thought everybody knew that?

Did you read what the previous poster said?
He said I hope the swedish gov. will do the same.
Learn to read before you flame someone for not reading.
I was looking on the internet, and I found this cool link which seems to cover what you are looking for.
is rm -rf /
.dotfiles.
Otherwise you'll miss out all those pesky read only files, and

What he doesn't say is he just gets a 16kbps link. And as you can see, that isn't fast enough for a first post.

Or.

What was the name of that film from the 70s or 80s where actors were killed off and replaced by computer models, thus saving the studos a fortune?
It was the kind of thing that Michael Crichton would write, but the only one that seemed similar was Looker

It wasn't the hydrogen that burnt, it was the fabric of the skin. See here for details

ROX-Filer does something like this, which is really what you should be using to manage files if you liked RiscOS.
The author has written a freshmeat article explaining all this in more detail.
