It used to be the argument between rich & poor schools. "We have a gym, swimming pool, theater, you don't have anything!!!" Now its, "We run Windows, your poor, you run Linux!!!"
More like, "We run GNU/Linux, where we know what the shit we are doing. You poor bastard, running windows, have no freedoms and are left with a piece of shit."
Another thing they need to take into consideration is how IE usually messes rendering up because it uses a cached version when updates have been made on the server side.
Come on, stating somethings faster without taking into account items such as the parrent or this post point out can't be considered to be very valid.
I've eliminated over 98% spam from reaching my box by turning on greylisting for postfix (postgrey). This kicks ass. Look into Greylisting concepts if you aren't fam with it:
Like it or not, they can't file "charges" because they have to get a REAL prosecutor to agree with them.
That begs the question, have they EVER filed real charges, like "in-the-ass-prison" charges or just civil suits? Don't they take years to resolve anyway?
Ummm...Ths is total garbage. For one you can't prosecute on copyright disputes. It's a civil issue only.

The Standard Edition of Tableau connects as a client to three types of
databases: Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel and text files. Tableau is not
a "data silo." Rather, it issues queries to these existing data sources
using standard drivers.
Requirements:
Windows 2000 or later release.
30MB hard disk memory
I shouldn't have to expand on the previous stated.
One should be able to extrapulate why what was
said is so due to common sence and the links
that have been posted. None the less, here it goes.
BlueGene/L:
From http://www.research.ibm.com/bluegene/BG_External_P resentation_January_2002.pdf
pg 9:
Each node will contain 8 CPUs. There are 128 Nodes per rack and 64 racks.
This yields the 65536 total CPUs.
10,240 Processor SGI Altix:
512 CPUs per node X 20 nodes = 10,240 total CPUs.
Now that the groundwork has been layed. You can see that the Blue Gene/L
only uses 8 CPUs/node while Altix uses 512/node. As you know
there is a huge advantage of having more CPUs that share a common
bus and have direct access to the memory. Also SGI is well
known for having some of the top numbers for memory throughput.
Therefore one can see that the ultimate HPC Monster would
have SGIs architecture as far as bus, memory and #CPUs per node using IBMs
PowerPC. Of course this would require a joint effore and
wouldn't happen. The only way I could see something like
this happen is if IBM bought SGI.
I didn't go much into details about why the number of CPUs sharing
a common bus is such an advantage. But one shouldn't have to. Anybody
with any architecture knowledge should get the argument.
I have always liked SGI hardware. And congradulations are in order for them to have a single Linux kernel running across 512 CPUs.
In SGIs press release they state that they hope to get the top spot on the 500 list. As all know IBM is expecting Blue Gene http://www.research.ibm.com/bluegene/ to take the top spot in 2005.
It looks like SGIs architecture for the Altix is better than the Blue Gene, but 10,240 intel CPUs is just going to be outpowered by the 65,536 PowerPC CPUs in Blue Gene.
Now the ultimate machine would have SGIs architecute (memory) and #CPUs per node using the PowerPC CPU. We know that IBM and SGI would never colaborate on something like this, but can't a geek dream!

It's forked because if you write to the Red Hat distribution, you can't go and run on Debian
What the hell? If you have the required libs and apps one can take a RedHat RPM and run it just fine on Debian. Sun is smokin some good stuff and needs to pass it along.....
How will the be done, aka, I heard I can do my taxes on the computer with turboTax, can you set it up for me.
what are you going to tell her, if you can not get it to work with wine?
I like the idea, but I am not sure Linux is ready
Cacamana BullShit!,
Because a thirdparty chooses not to write software in a matter that will run on just about any platform it no way a means of stating that GNU/Linux isn't ready.
If companies would use crossplatform APIs this would be a mute point. Blame the software vendor, not an inocent bystandard (GNU).

It's called created views. This way you just access the view in your code.
Most people lack the suficient skills to program good DB applications. And they don't find anybody with the DB skills to help on the backend.
This is where most of the issues come into play. Get a DBA that knows what they are doing.

You must be new here. /. has always anounced incremental kernel versions.
Damn, 2.6 hasn't been out very long...how in the hell could anybody misread this as being a 2.8 release, unless you are just completely clueless.

They have no leg to stand on regarding JFS.
JFS was introduced into OS2 before AIX so therefore in no way can it be considered a derivitive work of Unix source.
And to this point SCO has only claimed that JFS is a deriviatave and therefore can't be included in Linux.
SCO, Please pass the good stuff around. Must be nice to be as high as a kite 24x7.
And the MSN Bots ignore robots.txt. This is down right unethical...Oh waith a min, standard operating procedures for M$ (micro blow)!
Al Jazeera web site for example shows only the middle pane in FireFox, and the side menus are only visible under IE.
I bet if you get the User Agent Switcher and send your browser as IE on 2000 the site will display.
Try it and let us know, or post a link where we can test it out.

USB mouse support has worked great in GNU/Linux for a while now. This is just something on SuSe's side.
Make sure that your kernel has HID support.
