  1. Re:What about the ton of propriatary code on The Re-Unification of Linux · · Score: 1
    How happily is sun going to fork over the only technologies that are left to differentiate Solaris from Linux? Like NUMA

    Hasn't SGI stated that they will be contributing NUMA support to Linux?

    The government has no business telling you what you can or cannot do as long as it does not cause injury to another.

    You took the words out of my mouth. This also applies to religon/atheism/sex/lifestyle and so on. I couldn't care less if my neighbor is a pot-smoking gay crossdresser. As long as he's not pushing his views on me, or hurting anyone in the process, I'll respect their right to privacy as much as I value my own.

  3. My aDSL experiances on Feature: Getting DSL · · Score: 1

    I recently (less than 1 month ago) had aDSL installed at my home. I live in Houston, TX, and Southwestern Bell *just* started offering services. The only real problem I've encountered was that during the wait for line testing, they lost part of (not all) my information and had to start over. From Order date to install was 3 weeks. Priced at $49 a month ($39 for the line & $10 for ISP services) I am getting well over what they call their guarunteed service level (384k down / 129k up). My actual thoughput has hit over 900k down and 300k upstream. My "DSL Modem" lost sync once and didn't come back. A call to Tech support and it was fixed before I got home from work. All in all I'm very happy with the speed, service, and reliability that I get for the cost. Stephen L. Palmer Sprint Paranet Houston, TX
