It really cracks me up that this is a site to promote stuff. With its lack of design, poor English (yes I know they are Dutch), and tech talk, it is only preaching to the choir.
The problem with IPv6, and for that matter just about any open-source project, is not that it lacks the marketing budget, it's that it's promoted by pale faced geeks that don't know or care about the rest of the world thinks.
Well without the "outside world's" approval nothing will happen. IPv6 is dead in the water unless one of the following to things happens.
1) The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is completely transparent. If a user has any compatibility problems or has to type anything into a command line forget it. If you have to rely on the public to actually learn something and do it, game over.
2) Every manufacturer of software and hardware will have to plan the obsolescence of IPv4. Like they are trying to do with HDTV, What they did with Vinyl LP's and Eight Tracks. This will take years, and when they finally have it, it too will be obsolete.
this is a benchmark for hardware, not os. My point is I can get more bang/buck out of an intel machine. They are more cost effective. They are more compatiable with more hardware and software.
Hardware, not software was the purpose of this benchmark.
But if you do want to talk OS's OSX is a mach kernel (slow, but flexible) that runs a BSD-Like sub system (darwin) that is behind a resource gulping UI.
If you are going to be an ass, than at least try to be a funny, or smart one.
$275,000 is the gross. After paying the record companies they clear $100,000. That is not "NETTED", the is still more to cover like the bandwidth, the servers, rent, support staff, for the day. 275,000 songs is approximately 805 GB of bandwidth. That is a sustained bandwidth of about 100Mbit/sec. If they clear $10,000 for the day, they will be lucky. Plus this is the opening day. On average a grand opening well marketed does about 5x then an average day. So if Apple breaks even on this they will be lucky.
.NET is a platform in which to write applications and to allow applications to interact with one-another. It includes a framework/API, a Runtime(CLR), and supports any language with a common type library and translate to the IL (Intermediate Language.) Also included are an Application Server(ASP.NET) and a Data Access API(ADO.NET).
A) IIs and Apache came out at about the same time.
B) Apache started as a patching project for the NCSA Http Server, which had about 90% of the market share at the time.
IIs was not beat by Apache, It just never caught up, for many reasons.
Linux may or may not take the datacenter market, but it has nothing to do with the analogy he uses, if anything its against Linux taking the market because the IIs/Apache Logic states first to the market wins, and Linux is one of the newest competitors.
Since I do not know one "Professional" developer that develops exclusively for the the Linux platform, Linux will be dead by 2004.
I know people that develop for Linux, but everyone of them also has to develop multiple platforms (Solaris, BSD, Windows, etc..). Yet almost all the MS developers I know develop exclusively for the Microsoft Platform.
And to be completely honest, in my 6 years as a "Professional" Developer and 20 odd years as a hobby developer, I have not met a "Linux Developer" that actually makes money developing software for Linux. They are usually JAVA or MS developers supporting there Linux Hobby. They contribute to the communnity, but that's what Linux is a Hobby OS that has gotten out of hand.
A) Then according to your arguement French and English are the same thing. They both use nouns, verbs, etc. and the are both written with phoenetic(sp?) alphabets. They both serve the same purpose. Are they the same? ...no.
B) As far as Mecury and.NET being language agnostic, check out these links:
Current languages that are supported: Current Supported Languages.
Did you sleep through class, or maybe you were in the wrong room. C# is "Java"-ish. VB.net is nothing like java. They are both OO and that's about it. Oh and if you have IE6.0 you more then likely got the CLR, or if you run windows update, or whatever. And the last time I checked Sun's JVM does not include an Application Server(ie like ASP.NET).
A) it's ".NET"
B) it runs on Win98, 2000, 2000 Server, XP and BSD.
C) How can I believe anything that you say when you don't even know what your are talking about.
Just because you listen to the cool sys admins at work doesn't give you the right to blurt out half-truths in areas you are not even knowledgable.
The license is based on the BSD license. Which is basically (I realize I am using very broad strokes here, but isn't that what everyone does here. I guess I fit in.) the same as GPL but less viral. It actually takes into account that some people aren't hobbyists and need to make money selling software and protecting their property.
A Java is a language, virtual machine and a framework(aka API)..Net has a framework and several languages. It also has a collection of server platforms (currently: SQL2000, Application Server, CMS, and more) There is also Passport(I don't even like passport, but it is part of it).
THe best definition of.Net that I have heard is this:
.Net is Microsoft's attempt to give cohesion to applications, the way they are developed, the way they manage data/media, and how they are delivered to and used by the end-user.
That is it. It is not c#. It is not passport. It is not Longhorn. It's all of it and it's the glue that will stick it together. period.
In the material world, Strength is related to what is also known a tensil strength. Which means how does it resisit against tension. Something concrete is terrible at. That is why they reinforce it with steel.
Tool steel(usually precipated hardened) and titanium are some of the strongest (not hardest like concrete, diamonds, or carbide) material available. They take stress very well, and that is why they are used in machines for cutting and what not.
Another strong material is Inkanel. Not as strong as titanium, but alot easier to machine.
Maybe you are just upset that maybe microsoft worked hard to release a devolopment platform that every "REAL" developer that has actually work with enjoys.
A) It's not meant to write OS's or drivers.
B) It's brand new and not perfect.
C) Right tool, Right Job.
If you don't understand Point "C" then you just don't get much.
" millions of open source geeks "
This sort of statement reminds me of the delusional thoughts of "open source geeks."
A) If there are 100 million (a stat I heard lately) ppl on the internet. And on the average (according to the logs of the several high volume commercial and government websites the company I work for) percentage of Linux users out there account for.15% then that means there are around 150,000 linux users.
B) Let's fudge the numbers by a magnitude of about 10 and say there are 2 million linux users out there. How many of those are "real" coders(not PHP newbies), let's be nice and say 50% that leaves about 1 million. Of those 1 million how many are using even the latest and most up-to-date stable kernel about 50%. Of the other 50% how many are using an old reliable older kernel 2.2.x, 1.6.x, etc? I'd say 40%. So this leaves 10% or about 100,000 that are using a beta kernel. Of those 100,000 coding/beta-kernel users how many are submitting bugs? 1 out of 20 would be a hopeful number. that is 5,000.
C) 5,000 is not a million.
Just because you and all your freinds are "open source geeks" does not mean there are millions of you.

They included the MFLOPS/Mhz graph that makes the G5 look great, but they forgot the MOST IMPORTANT graph of all: MFLOPS/Dollar.
God forbid you actually install security patchs to make "your" windows secure and unbuggy.
I am tired of people saying "Make it secure" and "What's with all the patches" in the same sentence.
Do you read what you write? Or are you so stupid that you don't realize how stupid you sound.

GRRRRRrrrrrr!
GPL kills any oppurtunity for revenue. It does, however foster a fantastic community, but as a business plan?
GMAFB, If he wanted to make dollar one, copyright it. It would have protected him against all the crap he's complaining about.
GPL, you can't have your cake and get paid for eating it too.

That's because your are a pale skinned linux geek with no-friends outside your linux circle jerk.
If you're gonna try to be funny, don't sound like such a friggin' poindexter.

- Your narrow sited hatred makes YOU break it so YOU can jump up and down like a monkey and go, "See, see! It sucks."
- The pirated copy YOU have is corrupt.
- ...or YOU have not used 2000 or XP Windows.
Dude, harp on the stability and reliability of windows is Soooo 1995. If your gonna harp on anything, harp on security...Well, if software should be free, then how come the book is going to cost me $25?
