Have you watched your Apache error log recently?
I see 3452 attempts by script kiddies to break into my web server using security problems in.asp,.dll, and.exe files since November 21. Not that any of them would actually work against a Solaris/Apache system, but I'd sure class them all as "security events".
It's worth noting that the Hippocratic oath itself has an explicitly religious basis.
"I swear by Apollo the physician, and Asclepius, and Hygieia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses as my witnesses, that, according to my ability and judgement, I will keep this Oath and this contract....
In purity and according to divine law will I carry out my life and my art."
>this infringes upon my right to the "pursuit of happiness", as ordained by the constitution.
What constitutional right?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
Really, you can automate handling disk full issues? What does such a program do?
To add to my previous comment, Sun (and probably everyone else) already uses dynamic optimization to reduce the chances of a disk full situation even happening.
From man fs_ufs :
fs_optim
fs_optim specifies whether the file system should try to
minimize the time spent allocating blocks, or if it should
attempt to minimize the space fragmentation on the disk. If
the value of fs_minfree is less than 10%, then the file system defaults to optimizing for space to avoid running out of
full sized blocks. If the value of fs_minfree is greater
than or equal to 10%, fragmentation is unlikely to be problematical, and the file system defaults to optimizing for
time.
>Really, you can automate handling disk full issues?
Sure. Just have the system look out at the "free space" pool on your SAN and tack a few hundred megabytes onto/var. You did buy a nice Sun SAN to go with your N1 systems, didn't you?
Beats me if Sun will actually do this, but it certainly isn't impossible in theory.

Speaking as someone who has been involved in hiring in the IT area, please have someone check your resume! The quality of resumes I've reviewed, even from the ostensibly english speaking, has been dreadful. I'm not just referring to por speling and; gramatical misteaks, but logical construction and effective use of the language are sorely lacking.
If you don't have any friends involved in the hiring process who can take a look at your resume and cover letter, at least have some of your more verbally able classmates go over them. Your college's career center may also be of help.

Ncube uses Transit, a Plan 9 derivative.
Ncube made MPP supercomputers "way back when" and now are famed for their gargantuan video-on-demand systems. Larry Ellison is the owner.

NCR runs the Teradata database on their huge MPP WorldMark servers, running the MP-RAS operating system. A 128 processor, 700Mhz Xeon system of theirs led the TPC-H benchmark for a long time.
They were part of the original Solaris on Intel alliance (with Toshiba, Fujitsu, and Siemens-Nixdorff), and really helped out with the Intel compilers. This was back when Fear of Itanium was driving a massive Unix consolidation effort.

C-DAC's old PARAM 10000 is UltraSPARC based. The new Padma mentioned in the current slashdot article uses IBM's Power 4.
