and it really does not matter that there are way more MySQL users and installations than Postgre.
Don't use your Microsoft calculator dude, it's not scientific
Nobody cared the firts time this was on/. (like hours ago) and nobody cares now. The scientist have nothing to do and keep on changing their story's. And really if an ape skull excites you, you need a vacation.

You can have an Apache/Perl/MySql application up and running with the bare minimum experience.

Comrade Stalin is smiling.
Communism asserts categorically that God does not exist. Lenin stated that, "Atheism is a natural and inseparable portion of Marxism, of the theory and practice of Scientific Socialism."
Once the existence of God is denied, all the moral laws that come from God are abolished. As the great Russian philosopher and author Dostoevsky said, "If there is no God, anything is permissible."
Having rejected the divine moral code, the Communists proceeded to invent one of their own. Lenin defined it as, "Proletarian morality is determined by the exigencies of the class struggle." Applying this, any statement that assists the Communist revolution becomes true and any action that advances the Communist cause become righteous. Thus, the mass exterminations carried out by Stalin, Mao ze dong and Pol Pot were considered benign and righteous.
it is you and people like you who makes "beloved Linux' look bad. If you took the time to read the article, you would have noticed that he had a lot of good things to say about Linux and his facts are actually correct. But now with thousands of LUsers emailing him about his "writtng skills"(sic) his opinion of Linux and the Linux community may just change. Writers and columnists does not give Linux a bad name. LUsers are giving Linux a bad name!

Mozilla is really slow on Linux. It feels like the Mozilla team concentrated more on the Windows version. On XP and 2000 this thing is a dream.

To compare languages like perl, COBOL, C, C++, Java to each other is just not possible. First of programmers tend to have a favourite language and nothing will convince him/her that there is anything in this world that's better. Secondly each language solves a problem that other languages cannot easily solve on that given platform in that given environment. COBOL runs mostly on mainframes. In transaction server environments like CICS and IMS. Churning out bank balances, benefits and credit card transactions. The programs tend to run for milliseconds then terminates. COBOL pumps out a couple of digits and dies. Using as little as possible storage with the minimum CPU usage. The reason is that for every one time you ask for you bank balance, thousands of other customers are asking for theirs at that moment, and they also do not want to wait. For this COBOL is brilliant. Try to do that in Java on CICS, or even C and C++, the response drops because the memory usage shoots up, the cpu usage by transaction x2 and the customer gets tired of waiting. Perl does not run on CICS or IMS.(I wish it did though!) My point is this, don't use COBOL to write *nix scripts. You will get more joy driving a 6inch nail through your left middle finger. Don't use Java to write CICS/IMS applications. Write GUI apps and games in C and C++. Use PERL for everything else. Don't use C# at all. Oh and no...COBOL is not dead and will never die.
A Microsoft funded ThinkTank finds that OSS, FSF LINUX GNU/Linux is dangerous and harmful to kids? When will MS begin to rely on the quality of their products to compete instead of underhanded tactics? Microsoft's tactics and antics is bordering on the bizarre.

Do not buy cameras or anything else from the guy in the suit on the street corner. He WILL give you an empty box. Try not too look like an american, drop the "accent".

Butterfly.net and IBM unvailed a gaming Grid build on
Open Source software and IBM infrastructure. They claim the Grid can handle up to one million
concurrent gamers. I don't see any mention of specifick games out there nor any mention of pricing.
You can read the press releases from
Butterfly.net,
Infoworld and CNNalso vovered the story.
And the toolkid can be obtained here if you

The bigger the telescope the older the universe gets. There is to many schools of thought and theories on the age of the universe. It's a moving target. The sad part is that nobody realy cares, and even if they do figure out how old the universe is, its not going to change anybody's life for better or for worse, and I'm still struck down by a simple flu/cold virus thats 6000 years old. fix that dear "scientist" Why don't you find an alternative energy source to replace fossil fuel that is harmless to the environment Sir mister Scientist sir? How about a cheaper way to get your stinking useless hubble scope in space? What did you do to improve living as we know it with the knowledge you gathered from digging up dinosaur bones with millions of tax dollars? Steven Spielberg did a great job though bud he's not a "scientist". Neither are you by the way, a thumbsucker and a good quesser at the most. A high-school sceince project can come up with a figure on how old the universe is, and the sad part is you have no way of proofing them wrong, because you'e guess is as good as there's. So stop wasting money and start contributing real science to real live problems.
