I'd really rather see an article about changing the leds in my phone to blue. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't degrade the performance, and besides, I can't figure out where to put the leds in my Logitech MouseMan.
How will this make people buy used Sun gear?
Given the choice between buying an new x86 machine (or using one of the ones I already have) and running Solaris on it, or buying more expensive, used hardware with an old version of Solaris. I'll stick with the x86 option any day.
I think that it's far more likely that people will just move away from Sun and Solaris in favor of Linux or *BSD solutions.
I am a little disappointed that Sun has decided to charge for the x86 version of Solaris, but I guess it's better than the alternative of not having one at all. Besides Solaris is quite the advanced operating system and I for one would rather pay $99 for a copy than pay the current price for that Redmond made OS.
Now the $25/month for updates, that worries me.
That is the most inane thing I've ever heard. Why should anit-virus vendors be held responsible for what software you choose to install on your machine? Like it's not bad enough that I have to uninstall Norton just to get CD burner software to install properly.
This North American thought that we must protect the stupid from themselves is just silly. I say if you stick your hand in an oven you are going to get burned, and you shouldn't blame the guys that made the oven.
or the guys that pipe the gas
or the guy that turned the oven on
or the guy that invented the oven
or the government for allowing ovens in the first place
or...well you get the point
So I'm surfing on over to Netscape's browser page to have a look at the new monster when...OH MY LORD!!!! Jumping out from behind my desk I run to the wall and yank my network cable from the wall jack.
It seems as though Netscape has been spying on me while I surf the internet, how else could they produce a browser for the way I use the web?
I must say that I feel torn by the obvious intrusion into my personal space and the fact that Netscap 7.0 must now be a Lynx clone. It sure would be nice to run a text only browser with a Netscape interface.
Maybe when I get brave enough to go back on the web I'll give it a try...
Well, that might be true, but it's not for a lack of trying. I recently had a long debate with the rest of my management team about firing the guys in our office after they suggested we switch to Win 2k for our file servers.
After two weeks of trying they were unable to resolve the performance issues caused by the AD implementation. I was the only guy who could get any work done (running linux). We ended up switching back to Netware to get things working again. I suggested Linux, but nobody is really happy about the fact that of our twelve servers, I'm the only guy with the skills to administer seven of them, so adding two more seemed like a bad idea.
...but the point is, while nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft, I'm still trying.

Sorry, $75/month for updates, now I'm really worried.

Yeah I noticed. For a second I thought I was going to have to rename my DNS server. She's been named Amalthea for almost a year now.
