Download 2.4 gigs at 11KBps for 10 hours before I give enough back to download at 20KBps. I can get the full ISOs off usenet at 7mbps and not fubar my upstream so I can still do other things.
Recently I went to dinner with some of my wife's fiends from college and one guy was supposedly a big fan of star wars, like myself. It was strange though, I consider him the anti-fan. He hates the original movies, likes the new versions of 4,5, and 6 alright. He loved episode 1 and 2, hated episode 3.
He told me because I like the oringal works and not the works Lucus wanted to make 'orginally',I'm not a true fan.
I don't know, I don't get it. I think the original versions were great and I didn't like the cheap looking add-ons put it. I thought Episode 1 was boring, Episode 2 was mediocre at best, and 3 was the best prequal.
True, but the problem is that in GNU/Linux most programs are designed to work on the commandline.
In fact, UNIX was originally designed that way for a reason. No proprietary formats, everything text so you could have tons of utilities working together to perform simple tasks. Thankfully, the industry is heading back that way.
Many of those developers may decide to focus on writing for Apple's OS X when it releases on x86. This will detract somewhat from OSS development in the Linux community.
Maybe they should take a page from their own book and write cross platform software eh?
How is Mac OSX going to hurt Linux? I mean, people buy Macs to install Linux on them and its not like Apple is going to allow people to install OSX on commodity hardware. Apple is still a hardware company. If anything, the new machiens will just be overpriced commodity Intel gear. $500 for 512 megs of RAM, shit like that.
If anything, its hurts Microsoft bad. Linux is a server OS first, desktop second. There are far more Linux servers out there than desktops and the enterpise is looking for Linux servers to interoperate with their Windows desktops. I don't see OSX making any inroads into the Linux server market, hence, I don't see it to be a threat.
On the other hand, those company's looking to move an alternative desktop may choose OSX over Linux but might have anyway. Not to mention, in a recent survey post people choose Linux to avoid vendor lock in, which is Apple's specialty.
No, they make programs so other windows people can point and click their way to IT glory.
Seriously though I agree but it depends. I mean, if you take a VCC guy and ask him for a KDE app, he *SHOULD* be able to do it with a little studying. If the server application in question is just some database interface or server program, the code is 99% the same. Sounds like laziness to me.
Well, for one, they don't work together as well as the AMD. With the Intel, any communiction between the cores has to be done through the FSB, where as with AMD, its done internal to the processor. That is huge. The on-die memory controller on the AMD just makes the chip much more advanced than anything Intel has.
Here is a link with some info on the architecture.
One big advantage AMD has is that as you add cores, the performance hit you take over contention for memory is very low. For example, look at these benchmarks:
Opteron vs Xeon
The Operton in a 4-way configuration makes a mockery of the Inetl Xeon and its running 800Mhz slower and with much less power consumption.
People updating from dual opteron to quad by going multicore are going to get a lot more bang for their buck, specially since they don't need to buy a new motherboard.
much of the socialist rhetoric around 1900-1910, and the communist rhetoric leading up to WWII (both in the USA) was very similar to both the "party lines" of the Democratic party
The US Democratic party? What, your saying the germans were a bunch of bleeding heart tree hugging hippies who wanted to tax the rich,end poverty and war, ban smoking in public places, and provide health care to everyone. Uhhh, no.
All I ask is that we elect some 'reasonable' people, not people who actually believe Osma is burning DVDs and selling them on the street corner to fund his jihad against the US.
Our companies want to continue to show their movies and television shows to viewers who don't or can't subscribe to cable or satellite systems. But without the broadcast flag, that option will look less and less appealing. In the end, it will be the consumers who suffer the most if the broadcast flag is not mandated for the digital era.
Most intelligent poeple responsed with a warm 'Fuck you asshole' while others cried out 'please, take my freedom free me if it means not being able to watch Steven Segal weekend on TNT!!'
Jeez. The whole intel platform is sucking worse and worse every second. I mean, AMD is years ahead of them in processor technology now, at least on the server level. With no HT or on die memory controller the intel platform just can't compete in the server arena. Opterons running a full 1Ghz slower than Xeons are blowing them out of the water. What is Intel doing now? Begging AMD to take more desktop market share?
Slashdot Mirror
I just remember the days when Apple and Windows would actually advertise the fact there was no GUI as a good thing.
Its 2005, MS is hiring people to 'help them understand open source'. There has to be some HUGE f**ing idiots working there.
I guess it has to be stable if the GNU utils haven't been updated since 1989.

You dont thing that the rise of Linux, OSX moving to a bash shell, and now windows making a full shell is a trend back the command line?

Who is going to run the software.I think most Linux guys know not to open those emails that say:
"Hello friend! I found this fantasic update for you! I hope you like it!"
No, they make programs so other windows people can point and click their way to IT glory.

With that many customers, they should have their own armed shipping dude.

It stops good honest people from making the unauthorized copies from friends.
We are influencing in our own little flame war way.
A better question, what do people even run on a Windows server?
I wonder if its illegal to dicuss bypassing this morinic protection scheme, even though it isn't in use already.
I think their web server just over heated....
lol. Ten years later.... "for the love of god its finished installing!!"
...Indiana Jones never whips first. He dodges laser beams then whips the blaster pistol from their hand....oh wait.

In other news.....Jeez. The whole intel platform is sucking worse and worse every second. I mean, AMD is years ahead of them in processor technology now, at least on the server level.

Are you THAT GUY who shows up at the local computer shops to annoy the customers and employees but never buys anything?
