Microsoft is implementing a lot of important functionality that is heavily used in OLAP into Yukon.
Probably, most important - Yukon t-sql will have the ability to PIVOT. This is a huge time savor for anyone doing reports, which is where most of the functionality of OLAP comes into play.
For more info on the new features of Yukon, see the link below:
I don't remember where I read it but apparently Steve Job's before returning to Apple used an IBM notebook running NeXTStep. The reason being, since NeXT stopped producing hardware and became an OS for x86, IBM's notebooks were ironically the only hardware compatable laptops on the market that could run NeXTStep.
Yes, the article was meant to say concurrent users. And yes, the current website is driven by a large CMS where all pages are dynamic (all content resides in a database).
So after some clearification, what are peoples experiences with ISA or Novell's Volera (which I have heard very good things about) and any other caching solution.
How will this system work when you are driving throw some tight mountainy S turns. The radar will pickup either the guard rail or mountain yet your still turing. Does the car come to a complete stop?
I was under the impression that X 4.x already was using hardware acceleration.
Question:
1) What does Apple use as the Desktop Enviroment - is it X with Aqua as the WindowManager?
2) Can X apps (like Evolution, etc) now run together with Mac apps like Office X at the same time on the same desktop
3) Are these improvements that Apple made to X or where they already in X and now Apple is taking advantage of those features (basically, will the linux community get ahold of these improvements if Apple made some).
and shouldn't it been in the release of Longhorn.
I don't see any differences in what he is doing that Microsoft already hasn't. Just that Microsoft will use MSSQL to drive system. This is great for locating files (searching)
I find it interesting that not only does the article mention the Classic API but almost promotes the API. They never mention that Apple wants to migrate away from Classic, they only mention the pro's and con's of Cocoa vs. Carbon
First, this is old news at OSnews here but also... here is a small list of features to come:
Gnome 2.2
New HTree enable filesystem for ext3 (speeds enhancement). The HTree feature makes file creation, deletion, and lookup faster. On
filesystems that have HTree enabled, these file operations should not
get significantly slower as the directory grows in size.
XFree 4.3
CUPS is default
but also note SENDMAIL is now only configured for LOCALHOST, if you want to serve you have to do some modifications:
To use Sendmail as a server
By default, the Sendmail mail transport agent (MTA) does not accept
network connections from any host other than the local computer. If
you want to configure Sendmail as a server for other clients, you must
edit/etc/mail/sendmail.mc and change the DAEMON_OPTIONS line to also
listen on network devices (or comment out this option entirely using
the dnl comment delimiter). You must then regenerate/etc/mail/sendmail.cf by running the following command (as root):
m4/etc/mail/sendmail.mc >/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Note that you must have the sendmail-cf package installed for this to
work.
NOTE: There has been problems upgrading if one if using Ximian Gnome, you must uninstall then reinstall using Gnome form gnome.org
The reason why DSL beats Cable outside of the U.S
on
DSL Rising
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
is because the U.S is NOT densly populated. For example, Europe is extremely dense in population thus make DSL an easy choice with many people close to the relay stations (within 3 miles). Where as in the U.S. you have mountains, deserts, artic tundra where lower population live so they must use cable.
Also, much of Europe and Asia use satelite for television so people don't have the option to use the exist co-ax that is running into their homes as almost all have in the U.S (for Internet access).
This all goes back to why Europe and Asia are ahead of the U.S in mobile phones. To cover the population of lets say Japan, with relay towers is relatively simple because of the dense population. Thus making new technology easily upgradable (for relay towers) because they don't need as many and they are not spread over long distances.
This is not at all near production level use. And some of the screenshots are treble, like this one - yet some other screenshots are better like this one
I hope this is an indication that Woz supports OS X. He was the thrust that made Apple what it is today. I know, I know, you could agrue that what Apple is today is what NeXT Step was 10 years ago ( Steve Jobs started). But Woz was really the forces that brought Mac's to elementary schools nation wide.
Maybe now we can start to bring that back
Hasn't this been included within nautilus for quiet sometime now?
I know that with GNOME 1.2, if you let nautilus draw the desktop - a 'Trash Can' exist and functions similar to the Windows/Mac trash can...
If you have the cash, buy it. It is around $399 but nothing comes close to the speed of it. It embrasses the GeForece 4. Now all we need is linux driver, OH YEAH.
some specs to see the comparison:

I must admit, the above arguments are convincing. And as I understand, Apples use of the Mache kernel with an abstraction layer, allows the kernel to somewhat run processor independent.
But, I must say that I would love to see OS X on x86 platform. And, as mentioned above with respect to the kernel being processor independent - would Application developers necessarily have to recompile for the new platform - or could Apple add support for the x86 into the kernel and use that module when an x86 processor is present (I am not referring to emulation). And if so, could you theatrically have a multi variant processor. Say a motherboard with both a G4 and P4 running OS X?
My understanding was that Apple's core profits came from his Hardware sales NOT software. So for Apple to dump Motorola (which I think they should and go with IBM solely) and convert to the most inefficient processor in the world, the Pentium IV would impact them greatly.
But, nevertheless - if Apple were to do this, they would bring a whole new meaning to their ad campaign to Switch

How about instead of advertising chips in terms of clock speeds, start marketing them in terms of calculations per second
You mean, cycles per second WHICH is Hz. Thus a Pentium IV at 2.5 MHz is 2.5million cycles per second.

Does anyone know when Ruby 2.0 will be released.
Being able to gain the performance from having a bytecode/virtual machine setup would be wonderful.
I use them like crazy when I write 'test drivers' for functional units of code (albeit Object Oriented classes etc).

I wonder if the JFC components for GTK and Windows XP (Luna) are included :)

OOP is simply a codification of what programmers were already doing, it is neither a magic bullet, or a terrible evil.
I think you meant to say 'Silver' bullet, not magic bullet. And yes, nothing to this day has been stamped as a Silver bullet to programming.
If I am not mistaken, this ia an APPLE story - not AMD!
Does XDarwin serve the same purpuse that Quartz does?
According to the layer image it appears the XDarwin cannot run Cocoa apps, is the true
