that's not the anectdotal stuff I've been hearing & seeing: people getting disgusted with RedHat moving to SuSE and a few going to FreeBSD for server, and alot of developers taking up mac OSX for fun. No one I know runs Debian anymore.
no, if this thieving and plagerising two-legged sack of crap gets away with his actions, then other companies may feel the potential benefits of stealing open source code and claiming it as their own outway the consequences of discovery. Look at SCO, they not only used GPL code, but then try to extort license fees for and claim ownership of GPL code. This evil has to be nipped in the bud NOW, or the freedoms that open source developers give to the users, and the freedoms we users have will be taken away.
c'mon, there are a pile of laws about how the rent structure works in 'low income housing': I'd suggest googling for "rent limitation low income housing" as starters before making assumptions that the landlord could automatically jack rates.
that's not new or 10 years old....that's just another form of the VERY slowly ifinite series for pi that's been known since the times of the greeks, basically comparing perimeter to diameter of polygons as number of sides go to infinity: 4/1 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7......a very inefficient was to generate pi.
uh-huh, when I downloaded Solaris 10 I filled out a form saying 25 dev licenses, 25 production, 25 of whatever please.....used exactly 2 of them. Do you suppose their 1,000,000 licensed copies of Solaris 10 boast might be a tad inflated because most people did what I did, estimated a bit high? Same for JES?
Big business doesn't run Sun's free enterprise java server, they buy Weblogic and others instead (can't give the shit away). Other companies already make jvms. Sun has no way to make short-term money from java. They should turn over java to a standards body and thus rid themselves of an unprofitable money sinkhole.
solaris 10 is not all that cool because all promised parts of it haven't been released yet: where is ZFS, Janus, where it the opensolaris that complements it? There's all kinds of issues running legacy 32 bit applications on it, and even more tangled ones trying to port 32 bit apps to be 64. Have you looked at the expansion slots & disk bay counts for Sun's opteron boxes? bleh.
those who claim to be champions of "liberty" and "freedom" in Washington D.C. are all too glad to take advantage of the low costs an oppressive communist or caste system provides. We have Government by Big Business for Big Business.
Due to OS and application bloat, it will take longer for the G5 machines to boot and to load a word processor. Also, you will not be able to expand the RAM from 12x the size of the smallest workable configuration as with the II. Also, there are less than the eight expansion slots you are accustomed to. There is not an additional empty ROM socket for 3rd party custom ROMS. In short, these new machines are quite a step down from your machine's existing capabilities and are not worthy of your attention.
I dig this crap up from my job. As far as HP product line, we mainly sell DL-580, 585 and DL 380 to customers. OpenSolaris, heheh, let's see Sun release that first.
As an aside, I'd like to tell the world how badly Solaris 9 sucked installing on Sun's very own V20Z, didn't detect the video settings AT ALL and gave a crappy 640x480 X11 display. And with either Solaris 9 or 10 the power supply ran very loudly at full tilt, never adjusted downward for very cool environment i had that thing in.....getting the feeling Sun is rushing stuff out the door in x86 land over here.
I've used Solaris/SunOS for over 15 years, and there are some ways in which Solaris is inferior to most Linux distros: not nearly as many hardware devices supported in the x86 world, not as many foreign file systems supported, and only runs on sparc and x86. As for ZFS and some of the other future things you've mentioned, it doesn't count until it's released. So I would say go plug your Solaris 10 into your laptop with wireless card and USB camera and see how well it works. Then install it into your high end HP or IBM x86 server with fancy RAID card and dual gigabit ethernet, and see how it works. It *won't* work.
BSD is simpler in configuration than most Linux distros really, just the install is harder. What's wrong with making it easier for more people to try it out?
2. the exact same situation exists with Windows, billions of dollars of damage has been done by worms, trojans, viruses, etc. in the last four years due to failure to keep current with Windows patches to known problems
3. What happens when the expanding markets of India and China grow a new customer base that is bigger than all existing computer users at present, and they choose not to use Windows in those systems?
a few decades? that's plenty of time to supplement light/sweet oil production which will start declining in about five years. That gives us plenty of time to develop smarter ways of getting energy
hohoho! You've never listened to CEOs give corporate shareholder's conference calls, do you? As the song goes, "tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.."
heh, from what I read Linus likes his kernel running as the core of many OS from embedded devices to supercomputers, and his distro of choice isn't LSB compliant anyway.

half the features Sun is crowing about don't even exist in Solaris 10 yet...I proclaim Solaris 10 as 40% vaporware!!
both paid large sums of licensing fees to this incarnation of SCO
and shower the face of the wielder with molten lead. sounds good to me.

wow, you have a lot of nerve sitting there with your Googleportal hooked to the GoogleNet trashing Google like that

of ventures are EXPECTED to fail by venture capitalists, it's par for the course. Sounds like open source is as good a venture as any!

oh come on, we can hand edit those fat tables to do multiple hard links to the same file from different directories
maybe the kernel programmers should take 2 weeks and fix the basic flaws of git, like the business of not storing deltas to files
