Perhaps that should become the new standard measurement of data and replace "Libraries of Congress".
SysAdmin:Sir, we just transmitted our daily backups and it only took 5 seconds! Thats, like, 1,200,000 goastes per minute! CEO: Great! Er, wait... what's a goatse?

Don't forget the.08 to the Harry Fox Agency and BMI/ASCAP (depending on how the music is delivered). Ah... and don't forget the bandwidth and storage costs of hundreds of thousands of 3-5MB tracks. There really isn't a huge profit margin there... except perhaps for the labels.
I've had more than one woman walk up and ask me about it
Um... yeah. I imagine the women go crazy over a guy with a modern day knockoff of Middle Ages gear on their belt...especially when it is filled with 3 cans of Coke.
God knows that somewhere in the wasteland of 400+ posts someone has said this, but...
I wonder if RMS thought he'd see a US presidential candidate releasing stuff under the GPL when he founded GNU 20 years ago!
I wonder if RMS thought he would still be working on the Hurd 20 years from then. And I really wonder if he knows it will be another 20 years before it is stable.
Really? I guess my machine (actually have 3 exact machines with these specifications) must have suddenly appeared through some other dimension. Amazingly enough, the same thing must have happened to all of these people as well. The most amazing one is how IBM managed to test JFS on a PII-200 with 512MB.
You might want to check your facts before embarrassing yourself like this on./
Whoah there... I dislike MS quite a bit, but Win2k3 is pretty impressive. For almost a year now I have been testing a beta version in my lab. The box is a lowly PII-200 with 256MB RAM and runs Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, PPTP,and IIS very well. I have been nothing but pleased with it, to my shock and horror. For MS this is a *major* accomplishment.
I think you are being too easy. The virus would come as as a shar file, require you to install kde-libs (and all dependencies), recompile your kernel (don't forget to apply the latest patches from kernel.org!), and reboot. Luckily, FreeBSD users can cvsup their ports and do a sudo make install -f/usr/ports/virii/swen, gentoo users can do emerge virii/swen and debian users can do apt-get swen, whereas the Hurd user (yes, singular) must fire up emacs, type in 1500 lines of code, and compile.
Gates has become rich by selling CD's that cost $.50 to manufacture for $200 and up. Don't trust him.

Your use of quotation marks around "reading" is very appropriate for the Seattle Times. Hands down worst metropolitan newspaper in America, but I digress...
As the father of a 2 year old who is, to my shock and horror, beginning to read, I sympathize. To me there is a fine line here: in polite society words like damn are innapropriate (despite the fact that it is just a word)... in my world damn is just a handy adjective. I am trying to show my son, at his young age, that difference. Not that I want him to talk like a sailor, but I don't think exposure to words like damn are going to ruin him.
My son's favorite show since he was about 14 months is South Park. Scary? Yep. He has just recently begun to grok the words and when they did the "Shit" episode I had too hurriedly turn it off. Other than that though, he doesn't really seem to get it... or at least I hope not. I am trying to explain to him that while he can watch this stuff with his daddy, other people might find it offensive. And if I see it begin to affect him, we will stop watching it.
Re:hmm lets look at jobs on monster

Java vs .NET
·
· Score: 1
Most of those.NET jobs are ASP.NET jobs, and 95% of them use VB.NET. While there are quite a few C# jobs out there, it's the good old web page development shops that tend to be the most gunh-ho on.NET, at least where I live.
Your point is? So I called it Win2k (which is what it became) versus NT 5 (which it didn't become). Other than that, a quick google shows Win2k went to RC3 in April of 1999 (so I am off by a few months) and it was called Win2k at that point. No need to be a pedantic ass.
While I agree with your assessment, remember that Win2k was probably the first OS to be widely rolled out in corporate environments before release to manufacturing. For example, a rather large development company I worked with in Seattle rolled out Win2k RC3 as their standard in 1998.
Let's not forget Lua. Nice ANSI (or close to ANSI) C implementation, light, fast, easily embeddable, and with a simple syntax. I remember that with version 4.0 you could strip the distribution down to less than 50k. Yep... 50k. There are several commercial games that use Lua as their scripting engine. It's worth a look for mobile phones.
Transaction? No. But a LOCK can be handy (if implemented correctly, of course) to do a query of data from a fixed point in time. Perhaps that's what the OP meant. I sincerely hope so.
Agreed. MSSQL is far and away the best product MS makes. I have used it many times in mixed Windows/Unix environments, and while you do have to coax it into playing nice with non-MS clients, once you do it rocks.
That being said, nowadays I tend to use MySQL for a simple datastore (eg, limited writes and light reads) or DB2 or Oracle for heavy duty work. All of the above three could learn a thing or two about user friendliness... I especially like DB2's error messages: "Err 560: DB2MAN" (made up error message, but representative of the cryptic shit DB2 throws out).
I am about to start some work on Postgres again after a couple of years away from it. I am glad to see it has progressed.
Wrong, wrong, wrong! One thing that MS does do is eat their own dogfood. I imagine that for some projects, like Rotor, they might use CVS or Perforce, or whatnot, but the vast majority of the MS codebase lives in SourceSafe.
And while you might find a few developers around the campus using things like the vim plugin for Visual Studio, etc.... the vast majority of work done at MS uses exlusively MS tools.
I remember a few years back when one of my favorite bars in Tokyo (yeah, it's in Roppongi but not a shot bar and it's hidden away) got a new toilet. I was there to meet a client and things were going very well until I needed to piss. So, I go into the bathroom, take my leak and go to flush. No flusher. While I had used the Captain-Kirk-chair-like-toilets before, this one was different... must be a new model, I thought. So, I began to push buttons, waiting for a flushing sound. Nothing. Curious. I lifted the toilet lid and KABAAAM! Water shoots out all over the place, absolutely drenching me from the knees down. So I am standing there, not knowing how to react or what to do. I am soaking wet and smell faintly of urine. So I crack the bathroom door hoping to see a staff member I knew to see what they thought of the problem. Luckily for me, Miki comes by, sees me peeking out of the bathroom door, sees my wet state and begins to giggle uncontrollably. Those who have spent time in Japan know the giggle I am talking about... the high-pitched, semi-constrained giggle that is accompanied by attempt to stifle it with a hand to the mouth and only possible from Japanese females.
Anyway, when she is done giggling I explain my predicament. Her eyes get wide. "Guren-san, " she asks, " but why were you using the bidet?". I refused to answer, mostly because I had no answer, and sloshed over to the table where my client was waiting. Laughing. Hysterically. Also being a gaijin he had experienced something similar. All's well that ends well, I guess: We ended up working together and I never pressed that damn button again.

More than likely they are a partnership formed solely for this acquisition.

My understanding is that they will strip off everything but the BSD-based TCP stack and Services for Unix.
yes, it does. And at least up to NT4 there was prolog in the network stack as well.
Use WebMatrix... it works pretty well.
