absolutely false, there are differences in the code - parts of Solaris can *not* be open sourced ever because they are third party licensed. Other bits you only get the binary for, not the source code.
and how do the vendors of those "only runs on Oracle" products get their business. You think by technical excellence? best tool for the job??? hah!! Your CTO or VP of finance gets the dog and pony show, fancy dinner, maybe even some hookers expensed as something else if the sales wank gets the subtle signals. It's who schmoozes the best, that's how contracts are awarded and vendors selected at the enterprise and big government account level. I'm an engineer at a VAR for big iron, that's how our salesmen operate.
not quite, because you *can* get the source for RedHat Enterprise and its patches and compile your own distro (leaving out redhat logos and some other bits) and distribute it all you want (e.g. CentOS)
You can't do that with Sun Solaris at all. OpenSolaris you can, but OpenSolaris isn't quite Solaris, some things in Solaris has licensing restrictions from third parties that prevented Sun from doing that. Some things are written a little differently.
OpenSolaris is a wonderful OS, (and Solaris a wonderful closed source OS)not saying its bad, and at various times Sun let people have the source code to Solaris back in the day, for informational purposes only and not for distribution to third parties.
since you forked out for a phone running a Microsoft OS, you deserve only the best closed source browser money can buy to run on it. Enjoy your closed-source world.
Harvey finally was asked to dinner at his girlfriend Wendy Jone's house, to meet her parents for the first time, and hopefully make a good impression.
Wendy's mom had made sauerkraut and sausage, and Harvey had to pretend to like it more than he did. So Mrs. Jones had given him seconds and even a third large helping.
Later, as everyone sat and talked in the living room, Harvey could feel his bowels bloating with an enormous volume of gas. But Mrs. Jones was talking about the last days of her beloved sister, and Harvey felt it would be rude to excuse himself while Mrs. Jones was pouring her heart out, especially as the family dog was at his feet in his way. The inner pressure was becoming painful. A little flatulence seeped out with a squeak. "Fido!", Mrs. Jone's yelled at the dog.
Harvey thought, hey, this is great! I can pass gas and the dog will get the blame! Harvey let a liter of gas pass with the rumble not unlike a large block V-8 outboard motor idling.
"FIDO!!!!", Mrs. Jones interrupted her story again to shout at the dog. Harvey thought, it's a win, I can pull this off!
While Mrs. Jones resumed her story, a half minute later Harvey let fly like a jazz trumpeter doing fast arpeggios.
"FIIIIDOOOOO!, get away from that *awful* man, before he defecates all over you!!!"
actually, you can spot a "climatologist" the exact same way, they've been generating models to conform to scary weather for over a decade to garner attention to their doomsaying. Greenhouse gasses will cause drought, they said during drought. Greenhouse gasses will cause stronger hurricanes and storms, they said during the year of strong hurricanes and storms. Greenhouse gasses will cause floods, they said during floods.
But some of us have memories, and we see the cooking of the books to conform to weather scares. Even today there are articles (one even by Al Gore in NW Times) saying the huge snowfall this winter is a result of greenhouse gasses. Now one would think after the absurd claims made in his farcical movie, the masses would see through this hypocrite's blatherings as he lives in house with ten times the carbon footprint of normal U.S. citizen, and tools around on a jet blowing more exhaust (from the jet engine, ignoring the hot gas port in the middle of his face for a moment) in a single trip than one of us does in a year.
What this is really about is yet another scam by the elite, who finally have their ducks in a row for "green" technology. They have cap and trade to cause trillions of dollars to change hands, and their markets and funds are ready to go (e.g. Goldman Sachs).
and your stuff runs 2x as fast on freebsd as linux? I've seen percentage improvements but not like that. wow, they must have shoved a glowing hot pitchfork right up that dameon's poop chute.
And what parts of those digital records would be *important* information? c'mon, you are talking about personal crap. Important records (birth certificate, medical records, academic records, insurance, account statements) will be on paper
especially that the main insight is that 99% of digital records are useless crap. Just like it won't matter if archaeologists never find 99.9999999% of our cities, when you've seen one Starbucks next to a McDonalds next to a Walmart, you've more than seen them all. The ditto mark will be the most used character recording our drivel... don't even get me started on our mostly devoid of talent "music" and "art" (is a frontal lobotomy prerequisite to being a rap star?)
liar, you don't know of "thousands of other studies"
the truth is, we're off the "hockey stick" of so many studies that are nothing more or less than extrapolation of an usually warm period of time. Now that the data of the last three years shows us off the hockey stick, and that all the billions of dollars and euros and yen were an utter waste, now we see this foolishness of a department devoted to propagation of useless models and forecasts.
dang, the same thing happened here in North America, the native americans can't walk back to visit their relatives in Mongolia any more. They should have used some forsitght and done "cap and trade" instead of making all those carbon dioxide emitting cooking fires!
So you have been handed the steamin' pile o' code, it is great that you are very cautious and deliberate when modifying it. Make a set of regression tests, that is, make a set of test data and procedures and expected results to ensure original functionality that is still desirable is still working and no other errors introduced. It is hard, much more tedious than just creating new code with few constraints.

and yet you twiddle your valuable time away on slashdot, that post alone was $3. hope you didn't read the article.
and it will last less than two years, what with the dec 21, 2012 end of the world and all.

depending on monitor, could be orange, yellow, white.....
even worse, I distinctly heard his camera go "crick"
I'm calling bullshit since I can't reproduce your results, my AI just coughed up a hairball, stretched and took an 18 hour nap.
absolutely false, there are differences in the code - parts of Solaris can *not* be open sourced ever because they are third party licensed. Other bits you only get the binary for, not the source code.
The Oracle licensing processor-core-factor table has different factors depending on processor GHz for some architectures.
Maybe his company upgraded some Express Edition (1GB limitation) to Standard Edition (unlimited memory but 2 CPU limit)?

Reminds me of a story.

hah, only on slashdot can someone post exaggerated urban legends and be marked interesting while a dose of reality gets "troll"

you mean "needs rewriters and revisionists."
"History" is written by the winners to appease their benefactors, as they say.....

just like the CRU does, spouting nonsense and cherry picking data to please their political benefactors.
