You should be modded up to +5. There is no point attempting to have this sort of discussion on Slashdot anymore - after all, what do teenagers know about any sort of enterprise?
This indicates it's the Server service's handling of rpc requests that's at fault. Does the Server service not use the rpc service to handle rpc requests? I assumed it did. Can you definitively say it doesn't? How do you know, just out of curiosity?
I'm not a huge Windows user, but I know you can turn off the rpc service via msconfig. Why don't more companies do this? Or is it needed for certain things, like maybe Exchange? I confess my ignorance here.
PowerDNS is actually quite light. They had the good sense to split it into a caching nameserver and a recursing resolver, making two lightweight daemons, rather than a single "does everything" process.
It's also nice because it can suck in BIND zone files if you're stuck with them and don't want to migrate. Good commercial support is also available. The code itself is GPL.
I have this awesome idea for a game that involves cells "breeding" or "dying" based on how many neighbours they have. With certain cell configurations, the game will play itself indefinitely! I'm thinking of calling it "The Game of Death" - catchy, eh? Life of leisure, here I come!
Actually, in my experience MS is quite responsive to bug reports, particularly if you have paid support. Your response might be true for home users or something, but it's definitely not true for corporate accounts worth a lot of money.
All of them, including the video game division. That said, although MSNBC became profitable in 2004, I'm not sure about its current status.
The sad truth is that MS is doing better than ever - they've more or less successfully diversified and have multiple profit centres. In particular, they continue to grow on the server side, which worries me the most. A year or so ago, I was involved in a port of a $200,000 enterprise app from Linux to Windows Server.
Exactly. It's sad to see an entire discussion with hundreds of comments discussing the pros and cons of something that is old news on every other major desktop in existence.
Possibly the most mind-expanding "C++" book ever written, and certainly the most poorly-named. It's all about template programming and will really change how you think about generic programming.
There's also Schneier's "Applied Cryptography" and Norvig's "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming" and "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" to satisfy the urge one sometimes gets to skip syntax and write software directly as a parse tree.
What inspires this sort of passion, as opposed to other scientific things - for example, the Higgs Boson, or dark matter/energy? I've always wondered why GW deniers, practically all of whom lack any sort of real science education, picked up on this one issue in particular.

Interesting, thanks for looking that up.

Say what? Please explain, with technical examples.
Because great products are more than just a list of features. And your quality argument is absurd.
Er...bringing your laptop back from sleep/hibernate is totally unrelated to the boot process. Just so you know.

Make that PowerDNS, and I agree. BIND is a flaming sack of dog shit, and the conflation of DNS with BIND in many people's minds drives me nuts.
I googled around, and there's no mention of this. The summary also reads like the famous old "Stephen King is dead" troll.
when controlled with Gnome-desktop environment
Actually, the Asus EEE and the Acer Aspire One, probably the two most popular, use KDE. Not sure about the others. Sorry to be so pedantic.
That's not really a programmer's magazine, and certainly not in the same league as DDJ.

People wonder why America is losing its edge and it's because corporations and organizations steal ideas from the poor to make themselves rich.
Eh what?

Pointless to respond to an AC, but Amazon has been continuously profitable since 2003.
GnuCash doesn't support EV Certificates either, which is what this story is about, so I have no idea what your point is besides general smugness.
For everything else - history, geography, astronomy, you name it - just pop on over to http://www.truthism.com/.
Hats off to you, sir.

Now THAT makes perfect sense to me. Thank you.
Isn't a LoC a unit of information?
I would much rather see the translation in terms of furlongs, my chosen unit of length for everyday usage.
