And I'll throw in the other unPC question: How does the past infastructure designed/built/maintained by commie thugs compare to the present one designed/built/maintained by the russian mafia ones? Just curious.
actually I'm wrong, since I *assumed* those that were not boys were girls. In fact, in 30 out of the 100 not boy cases, the gender was Friday Night Trannies.
yeah, the V20z scream alright, after boot Sun has the fans in them pegged by the BIOS at 15K rpm. The high pitched shriek they make is annoying even in noisiest datacenter environment.
nope, no life insurance here, I think they just dispose of bodies of on-site fatalities in dumpster (like Dilbert's boss said of his labor force, "they're way too big to flush")
Funny how HR always has an inflated view of what benefits are worth. Working in CADD in switchgear plant, HR said their benefits were worth 24% of salary for people in my range. I actually made them itemize the benefits and we found that benefits came to 14% of my at the time $56K salary. Now I'm working at place where there is just vacation and they contribute $100 a month to health care - less thann 5% of salary benefits!
Hello Colin! How many of the world's servers really have local users that aren't already trusted with potential to access the business data? And for that matter, what percentage already have *physical* access to the machine? How many easier and more convenient ways do they have to snoop/steal/alter information than the hyperthread exploit? Heck, I'm an honest person and I can think of dozens of ways, I wonder what a creative sysadmin or dba turned evil person could conceive? As a general principle, potentially hostile users should NEVER be given local access to a server with information needing security, it's that simple. And failing to keep external users from getting local privileges will open the door to all manner of data snooping/destruction/theft whether or not a hyperthreaded processor is involved.
well, this is a little different. George and his big corporation buddies are right now making big bucks with the cheap cost of production in countries that don't have liberty and esteem for human life or safety. These countries will use alot of that wealth to develop strategic weapons (for example, China will upgrade its missiles to ones that don't take 25 minutes to fuel/prep so they could then preemtively strike the U.S.A. if need be), so now we go to phase 2a of The Plan, which is pump the military industrial complex with our tax dollars for the day when phase 1 comes back to bite us in the ass. Phase 2b of the plan is to get everyone to own nothing, everything will be leased so as to provide recurring source of revenue, whether your're talking about entertainment or housing or transportation. Only electronic money, the goverment and banks get a slice of every deal. Stay tuned for phase 3, you won't even recognize the place!
Now I'm picturing Mexican guy in front of truckstop hawking crypto warez:
"Creeepto! Creeeepto! Creeeepto! All creeepto must go. At the Plaintext Tweeeester we're slashing creeeepto in half! This is a creeepto blow out! Make us an offer on our vast selection of creeeepto! We got white creeepto, black creeepto, Spanish creeepto, yellow creeepto, hot creeepto, cold creeepto......... fake creeepto! If we don' have it, you don' want it!"
I wonder why Colin didnt' spend his 3 months of unemployment making a user space fix for this issue, instead of spending his time raising muck about it. , what with his being an expert and all. Patch up or shut up!

John, why not write something newsworthy like you used to, before PC Mag became another pile of ads with a few mediocre product reviews and benchmarks tacked on?
So you don't use blood oil products or Chinese blood cheap imports or asian blood textiles and you don't live on blood land obtained by conquest? Then there's the electrical linemen who died to give us blood electricity , and construction workers who died to give us blood high rises and skyscrapers....
well, I'd rather see a pointer-safe (and nil value safe) procedural language with structures as the most complicated data representation, building and tearing down objects for all the data structures and messages an OS has to pass around probably would constipate things.
QNX is a real time operating system - its message passing only has good performance when there's not too many different types of messages to pass. The desktop versions of QNX work if you are only doing a couple things, like browsing and doing email. But if you try to do the things that a Linux distro could easily do, like burning a CD while writing to USB device and compiling a new kernel and running a dozen windows, it'll choke up: it's NOT suitable for a general purpose desktop.
sorry, but that janus/zfs stuff has been pushed to 2006 now. Solaris 10 open source? hahahaha, they've only released dtrace thus far, can't boot my machine on that. Sorry you drank so much of the koolaid, you didn't notice it's got no flavor and no sugar.
Not the way the term is used in computer science, it's not enough to have a modular design or loadable modules for device drivers, but to have a small core that abstracts OS services in an OS agnostic way to higher layers, and that loads the higher layers as needed.
The modular design of microkernels makes for easier design & debugging, and with some designs the freedom to make user space services that can only be in privileged space in monolithic designs, but does one want to pay the overhead for all that message passing? Now that we are getting into parallel processing at the consumer level with multicore and hyperthreaded chips, maybe the answer is yes.
To date, Sun has only lost money on java. They are also losing server market share, and they still push their proprietary operating system (the current version of which is 30% vaporware, btw) which costs over $200M a year to develop. What happens if Sun drops java as too expensive, or Sun dies, or is purchased by a hardware vendor which has no interest in pouring cubic yards of cash into a language? Be nice if Java had a growing worldwide non-MS centric force behind it such as open source.
The ownship of that is still in dispute. Darl McBride said, "since the Tarantula Nebula is nebulous and vacuous, it probably is using SCO intellectual property as a derived work. We will subpoena its builders in our lawsuit".

as long as he's not the one who did Darth Vader's op center, it's not good to have your boss able to throttle you to death remotely.

actually I'm wrong, since I *assumed* those that were not boys were girls. In fact, in 30 out of the 100 not boy cases, the gender was Friday Night Trannies.
the quote says exactly that: 140 boys per 240 children == 140 boys per 100 girls == 58.3% == 8.3% more than 50%

retirement plans invested in STOCKS: who's going to own part of your what?
wait until the real estate boom turns into a BUST,

its clear their advertisers need another round of outrage from us which also references their CEO's statements.
To date, Sun has only lost money on java.

The CEO is content to run a "tabloid trash" type of website, where reporters can harass and intimidate people. That answers everything.
The ownship of that is still in dispute. Darl McBride said, "since the Tarantula Nebula is nebulous and vacuous, it probably is using SCO intellectual property as a derived work. We will subpoena its builders in our lawsuit".
I wasn't speaking of Debian derived distros, certainly some former Debian users are bailing to the Debian-derived distros: Knoppix, Ubantu, etc.
