Actually, until postgresql provides point-in-time recovery, it is not suitable for 24/365 operation. (supposedly this is coming in release 7.4).
other than hot backups, postgresql is the open-source dbms, with almost all of the scalability and features of the leading commercial dbms's, and will probably surpass them just as linux has long ago surpassed the x86 competition in operating systems.
There's no prevailing need for windows anymore. I use linux (only) on my laptop, openoffice, aim for linux, and the browser interface to our office exchange server, and am able to interoperate with all of the office systems and other users.
And I save my company about $800 per year in software costs.
Look at the HTML format currently output by the ms word application.... it is a read-only and unneccesarily complex implementation due to massive bloating of embedded formatting.
Clearly, any adoption by ms of open standards is an attempt to co-opt the standard.
Interestingly, the etymology of 'testicle' and 'testify' is not a coincedence. Many old cultures (the ancient jews, for example) used the threat of crushed testes as an ajunct to interrogation in court.
let's start by NOT HAVING SOUND IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE. And someday, someone will stop foretelling the invention of gravity paint and will actually put a centerfuge up there (a la 2001).
Far more likely that macrotheft knew all along about this bug (or was it a feature?) and is using this opportunity to 'patch' in something that will render openoffice inoperable.
Interestingly, Farnsworth was supressed by a monopoly led by an arrogant meglomaniac who tried everything (lawsuits, nuisance patents) to crush Farnsworth. Sounds like MacroTheft, doesnt it?
Slashdot Mirror
yes. and slower than the last pile of poo no doubt.
At least the article has some facts to back up the analysis, which is more than most news stories parroting MS's hype about .net etc.
ausge-(burp)-zeichnet!
pg is great, but it still requires a shutdown to perform a backup (pg_dump and dumpall are exports, not backups).

you can get extensions for mplayer (a linux player that supports mp3, wav, quicktime, real etc) audio and video formats. If you have windows, lol.
those kooky germans.
The Space Age is over. The age of superstition and mass domestication is in full swing.
That is precisely what ms is up to. '.net services' etc. Ms is betting the farm on moving to a services hosting model.

scalable, too.

there is no reason for any enterprise to run M$ any more. My laptop runs rh 7.3, openoffice, aim for linux, phoenix. I have no m$ on my box.

microsoft fabricating their news? I'm shocked. SHOCKED!
interestingly, the article html contains meta name="keywords" content="metatags are evil, metatags must die, death to the meta tags"
let the games begin!

what about the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture? If openSSL would include that with elliptic curves we could solve Fermat's last theorem on our PDA's...
you left out the part about m$ lying through their teeth...

Microsoft? Macrotheft!
