  1. Re:Makes sense on What If Oracle Bought Sun Microsystems? · · Score: 1

    DB2 (and Oracle) have free (but limited) developer/test versions.

  2. Re:Makes sense on What If Oracle Bought Sun Microsystems? · · Score: 1

    I can only assume you've never used oracle or you've never used mysql. Actually, my first assumption was that you're a retard, but I'm trying to give you the benefit of doubt.

    I've heard (but haven't verified) that they moved their mac business unit (which generates profit like tim geithner generates failure) to the xbox division to hide those losses.

    well, it was news (not for nerds) two weeks ago. This must be "stuff that matters (if you're Ted Stevens)" or perhaps "idle."

  9. of course on IBM Withdraws $7B Offer For Sun Microsystems, Says NYT · · Score: 1, Informative

    in my country (the US), we have a saying -- "why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free?". This usually is a reference to pussy, but it also works with Open Source. A lot of Sun's goodies are available under an open source license (CDDL or GPL). Virtual Box, Open Solaris, MySQL, Open Office, Java, hell even SPARC chip designs. IBM can hire brown skin developers to work on Sun's code for less than the cost of purchasing Sun. Hell, they've been working on an OpenOffice fork for a couple years now.

  10. Re:So it it Debian GNU/Linux/FreeBSD on Debian Gets FreeBSD Kernel Support · · Score: 5, Informative

    GNU/FreeBSD. FreeBSD kernel (and libc?) + GNU userland (instead of the BSD userland). There's no linux involved (except perhaps the linux syscall emulation)

  14. Re:"commercial UNIX" on IBM About To Buy Sun For $7 Billion · · Score: 5, Informative

    OS X 10.5 on intel is certified Unix 03 by the Open Group. Other certified Unix include Solaris, HPUX, and AIX.

  15. Re:Typical on Microsoft Open Sources ASP.NET MVC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The GPL is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist anymore. Big unix is dead. Open source is here and it has the momentum, but the GPL is dead weight.

    What if GPL code suddenly turned to BSD code and Microsoft (or anyone else) could steal it? History has shown that private forks of open source software generally don't work.

    The open source development model is superior to the closed source development model. When People (or companies) do need to fork open source software, they quickly find their branch out of date and inferior to the mainline. It's easier and more economical to work on the main branch than to keep a closed fork.

    Where does that leave the GPL? Primary as a tool for coercing companies into buying the closed-source version of an open source project (ext, mysql, and qt, for example). (Nokia moved QT to LGPL because the GPL wasn't beneficial to them).

    I find the discussion pages to be much more informative than the article itself in many cases.

    The peter north discussion, for example, contains dozens of people repeating the same basic arguments over and over:

    • He has a big dick!
    • It's statistically impossible for him to have a large dick!
    • I have lots of (gay) sex and his dick is average.
    • I have a large dick, too!
  20. Re:PostgreSQL on Locating the Real MySQL · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ACID :).

    I prefer postgresql because of the stored procedures, triggers, rules, plpgsql, etc.

    MySQL 5 sort of has some of that now, but when I las t used it (MySQL 4), I ended up trying to half-ass implement that stuff client side. Postgresql makes it easier to do it right.

    since it's open source, you can add 64-bit yourself. That's the whole point of open source.

    That's a bullshit answer. "technical reasons"? Comments used to display on the user page. Comments are still available on the user/comments page. so "Technical reasons" means "we changed it because we felt like changing it and fixing it isn't a priority for us."
