Anecdotal, no. Irrelevant, yes. Just because they got a dell array with a disk that died doesn't mean that sun hardware is more reliable. In fact, have you ever tried to get something like an A1000 to work? What about the 13+ patches you need for just IT to work? And these patches aren't a trivial "apply and reboot" patch. You have to make sure they don't conflict with any other software & hardware. Finally, applying these patches introduces other flaws. Instead of being able to install the latest generic security patch, you have to wait until the one specialized for your hardware comes. By that time, you've been screwed blue'd and tatoo'd if you are a target.
What about the flaws in solaris that don't allow me to keep an uptime longer than linux? Sure, if I didn't need to patch my 70 solaris boxes, they'd have tremendous uptime. But instead, I reboot them monthly because they are as insecure as a windows box. Shell accounts? Forget about it, people will hack you in seconds.
Performance counter interface? Shared memory? All useless. Try clustering. Try LinuxBIOS. That my friend, is the future. Not your pipe dreams of an absurdly insecure, slow, and bug riddled os that can run on one mammoth box.
Ask google if you think the cluster logic is flawed. Cheap hardware. Cheap software. One machine goes...no big deal...replace the $60 128MB dimm. One geographical region goes...no big deal. Buy 40 more at $200 a piece.
If google used sun, well, I'm just glad they don't.
It's about time we moved the overpriced behemoth another step down.
Apple and it's zealot distorted-reality fans have been gloating on how the super computer mac is so fast and it does such and such.
How about a real os, with SCALABLE architecture. As opposed to powerpc. Some might argue that "powerpc and sparc64 is more scalable than x86". But ask yourself, is it really?
How about the hardware the average consumer buys? It's more scalable relative to how much hardware I can purchase, and what I can do to upgrade my computer. Anyone try buying an upgrade for a PPC motherboard lately? CPUs? Apple hasn't innovated hardware-wise in years. PCs have so many little mini-connecters, I get confused. But chances are I can buy *cheap* video editing hardware and *cheap* good soundcards that work sweet with these things.
The x86 market is scalable to the average consumer.
Linux is the new OS of choice. x86 has ALWAYS been the arch of choice. If you disagree, why do I have every driver for almost every NIC on linux for x86, but I can't get any nic laying in a box to work on a mac?
For years, I had to go to run down stores with poor customer service and no inventory. Now, I can order online.
Why would we want to go backwards? Aren't we supposed to evolve? If you want your mom and pop store to succeed, shouldn't you be searching for a niche/market in which you excel? Do you think the world really owes your mom and pop store a favor?
I don't think so. I hate *most* mom and pop stores. Too many salesmen, too many commissions. Too little inventory, too poor customer service. Too high prices, too many just grunge music fans.
When I buy online, I hear reviews from people that listen to MY music. Not yours, I'm not limited to some little twat that only listens to such and such music.
It not only requires NNTP components, but it requires the SMTP portion too. Exchange 2000/2003 have a dependency of IIS smtp, because 2000/2003 apply an upgrade to the smtp. The products themselves only come with an upgrade to smtp, not the server itself.

Here is the MAIN point: reduced into a denser form
So I'm inferring, that to condense something means to make something more dense. Yeah, like that.
I apologize for your lack of schooling, but I do pay my taxes.
I used to be a certified warranty guy for Compaq, HP, IBM, Apple, Toshiba and Micron. I also fixed and sold tons of whitebox computers. I've done warranty work on thousands upon thousands of computers.
Bad CPUs are out there, albeit not as much as your run of the mill tech would like to believe.
They mostly are dead DEAD, as in won't boot. This means they won't work in other MOBOs but same kind of cpu will work in MOBO that the bad cpu was in.
I'm now an admin for an ISP, and bad Sun CPUs make up the large portion of my hardware work.
Before the not-for-the-future-of-mankind trolls come along, I'd like to point out how this is much more beneficial to mankind than say:
#1. Helping other countries #2. Decreasing the national debt. #3. Spending it on cancer research.
This is mainly because we'll be helping other countries for the rest of our lives, and successors in the next generation. Helping third world countries will NEVER end, there will always be nations asking for our help, because they can't do it on their own. Imagine them having the balls to fight for what they wanted, live America!
#2.HAHA! LOL, look at us, we'll never decrease this without making a substantial change to our government! I hope I don't need to explain this.
#3.We're humans, we've evolved to be 45, and not much use after that. Younger people? That's a different subject that I'd rather not 'troll' on.
Space and beyond is everything in our future, we're stuck in a rut here. We need people's support on this one. If you don't think we're stuck in a rut, I envy your ignorance.
LOL, you're killing me man. What's with the/?s ? Well, I'm sure I already know. Despite your attempts to sell me your kit, I'm going to have to respectfully decline. Seeing as how an enormous amount of people sell these, and that there are still many, many people on/., I'd personnally guess say they don't work well. If there was really a kit you could market, why wouldn't you be a (mb)illionaire, and why are you selling on slashdot? Why do no search engines even know your site? Only 7 testimonials? I'm you're average consumer, Mike, and this is not what I want to see. If you genuinley want to interest me, try a different route. Until then, well, I'll just let the women keep telling me I beautiful eyes.
The money _WAS_ in the software and licensing agreements. Linux is free, the licensing agreements are free. Your cliche no longer applies which you're talking about GPL'd software. No need to retrain users/admins? What are you talking about? Have you personally upgraded kde from pre 3ish to 3.2.1? That's a huge retrain. How about apache 1 to 2? How about admins throwing kernel 2.6 on a box that was running 2.2? This is software, software evolves, things change substantially!
buddhism is not a religion, dumbass nor do we fight for lands, or worship super beings. we only seek enlightenment, and do not fight for lands and cause wars on the way.
I bought this book saturday, spent $60. I read it in about 5 hours, and now I think I am dumber. It uses the first few chapters to remind you of ethernet, OSI, what runs on certain port numbers, etc. It uses a few middle chapters dedicated to listing older exploits to almost any hardware. Then it tells you how to use IOS and reset a password on a Cisco router.
I think it mentions one or two things about kevin m, and why most IDS's suck, but it certainly does not fail to mention the included trial of "TigerSoft tookkit". I swear, by the time you are done with this book, you will want to trash the cd, because it is really the most common phrase in the book.
I learned more from my CCNA from this book, and not one thing about hacking. 1.5 years in the computer field would give you more info than this book. This is directed towards the mid 40s business owner who cannot afford and IT guy but knows he has to learn something about hacking.
There are quite a few dance clubs having drinks for a buck specials downtown Denver, I've got a few friends in from out of town and we are going up thatta way.
Take a moment to think of all the people that died while going west to the americas back in the day.
Sure, you might say we have more technology, but by no means do we have the technology to travel to and from the cosmos like we do to cross the oceans now.
Alot more lives will be lost, and there will be nothing we can do about it, except hope we learn from our mistakes.
Everyone knows there is a higher risk of death or injury to these brave people.
But that is just a chance you have to take.

Isn't there enough mass here to affect the tides?
2.9 miles long and 1.5 miles wide is quite a bit of area, especially if it's condensed.
Does anyone know if this will make a difference?

You don't sound like a very good friend to me. Depending on the friend, I'd usually do a bit of fighting for them.
No offense, of course, we just have different views of what we would do for your friends.
You are what most people consider to be a ignorant, propaganda-influenced bloke (or average consumer) if you're willing to:
A. Believe that 33.5% is a significant number, of any type. See the book, how to lie with statistics.
B. Believe any propaganda released by Microsoft, or any other released "benchmarks" when they haven't released exactly how they've done the testing.
C. Believe that an MCSE is enough to make me consider you an industry professional. I can read and memorized books too.

No Denver...
Why does Denver have to suck for tech so much?
We have snowboarding, we have outdoor stuff. We have 4 wheeling, no humidity...
Yet, there is sucky wireless access, and dumbass danceclubs. What's a geek to do?
Time for the greatful dead bars!
How appropriate!
