To go with something you know will do the job and that additionally your IT staff is familiar with is the very definition of competence. On the other hand, going with something you've never heard of just because it's 'free' is an incompetent thing to do.
This is an often forgotten truth in IT, but I would argue that not knowing about product with a high marketshare in your bussiness is at least close to incompetence. And the ability to adapt to other solutions then the one 'you know' is a very important part of the difference between compentent and good...
Well it may not have been loud enough to hear inside an womb, so you might have missed it, but there was music back in the day.
Actually the music was one of the good parts of Second Reality...
Power plants are much much more efficient than an engine that has to fit into a car and run at a wide range of RPMs.
A, so thats the reason they their fance transmission system and get the fluel engine to run within a small range of RPMs. Thanks for the explanation...
This is indeed the important distiction. And altough it could have been phrased better, 'Theory of Evolution' is what the sticker refers to: "Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. The material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered."
While it talk about evolution without making this distinction, it means to speak about the 'Theory of Evolution'. Now anyone who thinks it could have been clearer on that point is right, but i really don't see how it's intended to promote some religious point or to argue a fact.
That, but you can add another point.
A really good design, may or may not be important, but all mac's look great while most PC's are boring. The few with really good design com3 with an added price as well.
If the stock options you get are worth nothing, is that really an expense?
A stock option is worth as much as a lottery ticket. Nothing, until you win;)
But (some) people pay real money for both, and if you can exchange something for real money it is worth something...
Google should just say "oh, sorry we listed you incorrectly" and block their domain.:-P
Well they should, but i doubt they will. I might just not be a smart thing to do when facing a lawsuit, unless they are going to agree they where wrong in the first place...
What ever happened to winning by doing better than the competition, anyway? Are American corporations so pathetic that they have to stoop to this level to compete now?
Erm, do you really want me to answer that question?
But it's not just American corporations, it happens in europe as well, although a bit less i think. It's is at least very common among big corporations...
That will be a nice test cases for the legal status of Open-Source.
And when they lose it will make govs think about their intellectual property laws. Some govs might finally stop listening to the 'advice' of big cooperations once they feel the consequences for themselfs.
Either way it means improvement...
But i'm not that hopefull, MS is just spreading FUD again, i don't think Ballmer will go as far as sueing govs, he isn't that dumb either. But other might...
Well it has one, but don't take the 'hand' part seriously. It's electronic and automatically pulls when you park and releases when you start the car. That's really handy in normal use, but it won't help is situations like this. And this car wheigths about 1800Kg, so it won't help much anyway at 120mph.
Oh, and you could also consider taking the kid along with you. You're taking some risk it will spoil your evening away, but most 6 weeks old kids don't give a shit about where they sleep and sleep most of the time anyway.
Some waiters may look a little suprised when you enter the restaurant, but that only adds to the fun of an evening away;)
Or get someone you know to babysit, like your younger sister, grandma or a friend. Grandparents often enjoy it when one of their grandchildren drop by as well, so you won't need to pay them and you won't need your monitoring stuff.
Cheap solution, or what?

I guess, based on what I see around me here in Holland, about 90% of the television viewer will use Teletext/Ceefax. If only to see wich program is next, look up the weather forecast or sports results (during commercials) or simply to turn on subtitles when someone else if on the phone...
The biggest power is that is just a button away when your watching TV anyway. It's a easier to use then the web but provides up to date information.
You're right mostly. There is absolutely no problem with multi-homing your webserver. But thats not the point in question in the article.
The point is that configuring your webserver(farm) that now runs on ipv4 only to support ipv6 could for the big sites be a rather big operation. Most of these sites can't afford to risk any downtime just to get ipv6 running and will have lots of planning and work to do just to support ipv6.
The article proposes a solution to reduce the risk and time required to get ipv6 enabled by simply setting up a reverse proxy that deals with ipv6. Setting of a reverse proxy is really simple and there is no way to screw up in a way that will affect your current ipv4 functionality.
While i'd never consider such a solution for my 'just for play' home server i can imagine this being way easier to get running for a big site then multihoming it.
Cute, the perfect change to go back to the good-old days.
We'll build an alternative network on alternative hard/software and have lots of fun. Imagine an internet without al those people that are likely to buy that 'Trusted Computing' thingy. Imagine an internet without al those big cooperations...
The public will get the network it deserves, pity for them. But it won't hurt me that much...

Heh, you are so on topic, if this whould have been about the other rfc posted today...
No, I'm not. I said "evolution." So did the sticker.
RTFA, it said '..regarding the origin of living things'. It's talking about the 'monkeys turning into humans' part.
This is indeed the important distiction. And altough it could have been phrased better, 'Theory of Evolution' is what the sticker refers to:

"I think that it's very plausible that ..."
And isn't that what we call 'theorie', and not 'fact', atleast until it's proven?
That, but you can add another point.

The BBC has an article about it as well. It has a nice tough at the end:
Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, has the most to lose should Linux use spread.
This nicely puts Balmers statement in the correct perspective for the readers that aren't 'into the bussiness'. I like that...

Last time I used their stuf was this afternoon. And the month before. We got some satisfied customers running novell soft as well...
I proud he learned so much here in holland. *grin*
Of course, I'd very very thoroughly stepped through every code path by hand.
So where is the, not testing, part? Dry testing is testing as well. And not the worst way of testing, imho.
... the handbrake (dunno if it even has one)..
Well it has one, but don't take the 'hand' part seriously. It's electronic and automatically pulls when you park and releases when you start the car. That's really handy in normal use, but it won't help is situations like this. And this car wheigths about 1800Kg, so it won't help much anyway at 120mph.
