Linux does not magically escape the problem. However, Linux developers are much more likely to write portable apps, because they remember how much it sucks to have their OS be unsupported, so they will naturally want to support BSD and OS X also.
LOL
Linux developers are just as bad as Windows developers. Probably worse -- Windows developers don't labor under the impression that their code will run anywhere else; Linux developers use non-standard glibc functions and gcc extensions and assume it will work everywhere. Why do you think FreeBSD, et alia, maintain such a huge port repository full of patches needed to compile "Linux" programs?
Similarily C# is a good programming langauge but the breathtaking waste of man hours over simply working within the JCP to improve Java is staggering, and inexcusable. If there is a programmers hell every single person at Microsoft involved in C# is going directly there.
They'll have plenty of company, with java (which was a waste of man hours over using OpenStep), OpenStep (which was a waste of an hours over using C and Smalltalk), C (which was a waste of man hours over using BCPL or B)... And don't forget linux and gnome!
Installing postgresql 8.1 with windows was easy - it uses a nice standard windows installer.
PHP 5 (windows installation) includes the postgres dll (in fact it includes a dll for all supported databases). They stopped including mysql in favor of sqlite (due to changes in the mysql license and since most unix boxes already have the mysql client libraries installed).
considering it would take 46 minutes to reindex with postgresql... and postgresql wouldn't have had the problem in the first place... and postgresql 8.2 can do the reindex with no downtime, that's not a good response time.
Obviously, when slashdot was started (97/98 or so) postgresql wasn't as widely known as mysql, and slashdot has a lot of mysql-isms (both in slashcode and that they're using a custom version of mysql).
GPL software has had plenty of forks. Emacs/XEmacs for example. And Linux has had plenty of forks as well (RT Linux, ELKS, mkLinux, etc). The *BSDs are a full distribution. While they may count as a fork, they're no more a fork than RedHat/Ubuntu/Debian/Gentoo and the 300+ other distros are a fork.
Dreamweaver and Fireworks use Netscape's javascript interpreter, and include the source code:
"Javascript Int Source Code.txt"
The original source code to the JavaScript Interpreter was provided by Netscape Communications Corporation and the modifications to the source code are derived, directly or indirectly, from such code. The changes to the original code from Netscape Communications Corporation are documented in the accompanying Readme file.
A lot of php functions are idiotic/redundant. nl2br -- because it's so hard to use str_replace?
One of my complaints is that they add these half-assed functions and then add new parameters, change the semantics, etc. etc.
Consider http_build_query -- a useful function (but it would only take 3-5 lines of php code to write it yourself). Only available in php 5+. Except they added a new parameter in PHP 5.1.2 (making it actually useful), so you'll probably have to rewrite the function yourself.
It would be nice if you could replace built-in php functions (like perl does).
Directions: Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
'I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.'
-- Booker T. Washington
Assignment: What is your opinion on the idea that struggle is a more important measure of success than accomplishment? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
The quote was not about accomplishment, it was about position. Those words have different meanings.
My experience with Maxtor has taught me one valuable lesson: don't use Maxtor. I don't have any anecdotal evidence of drive quality getting worse; Maxtors shit out and develop bad sectors as long as I've known.

How exactly does my MUA talk to my ISPs mail server if 25, 587 and 465 are blocked?
Those ports are blocked for every destination *except* the ISP's mail server.
What if my mail server isn't provided by the my ISP?
Almost every mail server is now configured to accept connections on a nonstandard port. Alternatively, you can use ssh tunneling.
What if I want to run my own mail server; there are plenty of legitimate reasons to do so.
Most ISPs offer business-class connections without port blocking.

I think he was referring to Bill "I had astroturf in the back of my pickup truck" Clinton. He's more trailer trash than redneck, though.

if they were worth working with, they'd support postgresql.

what about checkoutmyvagina.com? STDs, cervical cancer, etc are just as bad as breast cancer.
I heard about this new site called myspace, you should check it out.
Heidi is now a MILF.
That sounds like the problem. Everytime I've experienced tech support as egregious and inconsistent as TFA describes, it was outsourced/offshored.
what brand(s)? I'll take Maxtor FTW.

at least their prize is better than the slashdot (pt cruiser, alienware laptop).
The current projected costs are 35 Million Euros (up from 30 Million) to convert 14,000 computers.
2,500 Euros per computer.
