If is due to be out in about 4 months and my statement gave them an entire year. It may be delayed again though, I am sure the guys at Intel want them to keep stalling.
Car manufacturers make claims on reliability all the time but they often qualify the statements just as you have shown.
*based on problems per 100,000 miles in a survey by car and driver.
PS. Dell servers are generally less expensive than their UNIX counterparts. The UNIX counterparts do generally come with better (more expensive) support contracts. It is a general statement, but one they could probably defend if called on.
"if you're running Unix there are all sorts of negative things that will happen to you" Can you elaborate on this?
Also Quality is an opinion, survey results usually depend on who you ask. Neither fastest or first are an opinion (per say), becasue you can just benchmark them and look at hard data. If you have some one sided benchmarks and somene can prove that well, no soup for you!
I like the "(including training)" part. Does that mean everyone gets a free 20 minute power point presentation before we stick them on something they have never seen and say "there".
Does that mean they will anwer questions over the phone from the technical point of contact?
Maybe, but what it does not mean is they won't hire someone to stand behind every single user for 3 days showing them how to do trivial things like using a clip board again or explaining that QT uses it's own clipboard that does not work with some other applications. Or maybe they will search around on freshmeat to try and replace the 100 or so windows apps people are using that nobody thought of. Out of those 100 or so apps there might be partial replacements for like 40 of them, and of those 40 maybe 8 of them will have packages that will install on what ever version of what ever distro we decide to deploy. Maybe the guy standing behind them will su to root for them every 5 minutes so they can do things like change the screen resolution.
I don't care how bad you hate MS, Linux is nowhere near ready for end users.
MS does do that, all our stuff that ran on 95 and NT4 runs fine on XP. It's Linux that does not seem to do the binary compatibility thing very well. You used the biggest flaw Linux has, claimed it is a flaw with MS instead, and got modded to like +10 Insightful.
I don't know about other large companies, but many tech companies are using some Solaris/Linux work stations with most of the web servers and databases running on UNIX or Linux.
It seems like many of the smaller companies that are using the domain controller for the database, web, ftp server etc.
But hey, someone must agree with something you said.
I find all the IE replacements I have tried try to do too much, or have interfaces that are too cluttered. Kmeleon has a nice UI but lacks some in maturity. Anyway, I have been using IE on Windows for years and I have never had a security breach. I even ran IIS on my home network for years without a security breach becasue I used a secure configuration. Firefox is a huge step for Mozilla, and if it works for you great. But until IE and windows quit working for me or a more usable alternitave comes around I am going to keep using them.
I have to agree with you here, I too have had been using yahoo mail since rocketmail. Yahoo notepad is another reason I like yahoo mail so much, I don't have to keep emailing myself small bits of information.
Witty attempts to open a randomly determined physical drive and write 64k of data to a random location. This cycle repeats for every 20,000 packets sent.
Please tell me I am not the only person that read this and laughed.
Why is this modded troll, it is a good point. If they wipe the disk clean they force the USER to police their own system, rather than forcing admins to try an police the mess of traffic caused by users that don't give a shit.
Users are not going to remove all the worms from their PCs, maybe it is a good thing to have a worm that cleans the PC for them every 6 months or so.

Windows XP 64 is due out in the early part of H2 (around the same time as SP2). Longhorn is a different animal (the successor to XP).
This is a find which has again inspired me to put up with the moon song
True, Linux would probably be a worthy testbed to benchmark the G5 against the Opteron.

psst, a year from now Windows will also be 64 bit.
I wish I could install one in my car, that way I could just drag and drop mp3's over to my car without having to burn them all to CD.

The second artivcle in this post worthy of a +1 informative!
Because if you create your own DRM technology it won't play on iPod?
You forget to check the "Post Anonymously" box?
Yukon do it, all night long!
macromedia flash maybe?

It's true, Education majors are some of the only people that get to skate out of a science credit. So you end up with a bunch of non-techie teachers.
They can defrag but they can't click the windows update Icon. They don't know becasue they never bothered to learn, why do you suppose that is?
The best statement I have read on slashdot in a while, actually.
just remove all+the+search+terms
The same link here with extra words highlighted.
I created a Yahoo notepad file to add accounts to as they are created.
I went to that link and all I got was a form.
