Very strange. The same issue covering the lord of the rings (Including the book "The Two Towers"!!) has the picture of "The Coup" cover with the two World Trade Towers burning on page 170. (This month's issue with the Tolkein Runes on the cover)
Flock Of Seagulls - I remember the music, not the radio stuff, but the unplayed stuff on the album like DNA, Telecommunications, etc. Great geek music, just look at the song titles.
> What do we got? Not much, JBoss is it as far as I know of for non-vaporware offerings.
Cool, Zope. I'll take a look at it. Like I said "...as far as I know..."
Does Zope compile, or is it yet another interpreter? Mega-cross platform - probably the biggest example would be that it will run on both Unix-types and Windows? (Not that I'd want to run it on windows)
Is that all you got out the the article, some questionable numbers on Apache?
That was definitely NOT the point of the article - the article was about about how the Open Source world had better get focused - quick - or we'll be just as irrelevant as we been saying Microsoft is.
WTMFH are you talking about? You get access to the Kernel and you're basically ROOT. And you say that's NOT a security breach? What's that you've been smoking? Give me direct access to kernel functions and see if you don't have a security breach on your hands.
Good point! I say HELL NO! You can do so many things by mastering Apache's configuration file that NONE of the existing Apache GUI's can begin to touch on. I've played around with every one I've ever gotten my hands on, and they all come up severely lacking.
Who gives a rats ass about how many millions of pages per second a certain web server can dish out? If you are pushing a single web server to it's top end, you need to cluster - badly. It's the stupidist comparison I've ever seen. Look at stability and security, not pages per second. You'll hit network saturation LONG before you'll hit max PPS, so it's just not an issue.
And this shitty Tux thing - what a joke - it uses the SAME trick as IIS to gain speed - it runs in KERNEL space. Again, It runs in KERNEL space - the #1 thing NOT to do when it comes to security. Tux is only a show-off server, it is nothing beyond that. Some process goes whacked, and BAM - your users have access to KERNEL LEVEL FUNCTIONALITY - bad bad bad bad bad!!
As far as a real measure of Apache's "performance" - let's measure real things like reliability and security and the ability to get it to do anything you need it to do, in any situation. I've yet to see a server as good as Apache when it comes to pure malleability for any random need.
The way I've seen it in real life, it's not the EJB technology that sucks, it's these bullshit can-barely-code psuedo-architects who design these ridiculous mega-projects without understanding the proper way to do n-tier development. They load the app up with a whole bunch of RMI-enabled beans (that'll never be called by anything other than things running on the local machine) and then shit when it uses up a whole gig of RAM and crashes every ten minutes. EJB requires intelligent, up-front planning. You can't code by the seat of your pants in this arena.
He ain't talking about the people with no money - he's talking about the big companies with the big money who need big uptimes cause every second they are down costs thou$ands. The big corps are about massive clustering, separation of web servers from application servers from transaction servers from database servers.
Forget about the part of the article dealing with a slite drop in Apache marketshare. Nothing at all to do with it.
The huge, big point here is the thing about J2EE vs.NET - that's the focus moving forward. Where we really don't have any other answer but J2EE. dotGNU/Mono/whatever are going to come so damn late it won't matter.
Clusterable, component-based architecture is where it's heading, and PHP/modPERL/whatever ain't doing it NOW. The corp world has gone n-tier architecture, and other than using Apache to front-end WebLogic/WebSphere/whatever, most open source stuff is far behind.
Don't even WASTE your time whining about where they got their numbers on Apache - figure out what to do to address the big picture of web services. What do we got? Not much, JBoss is it as far as I know of for non-vaporware offerings. Tomcat is cool, but it only does servlets and JSP - Tomcat is NOT a bean container. Beans (way stupid, misleading name) are the componentized pieces of code that are needed to beat.NET.
He nailed it on the head - The same way we've been harping about the world changing and rendering Microsoft irrelevant, the way the Open Source world does things is pretty much irrelevant and obsolete as well.
His point about finishing the Open Source versions of j2EE (like way quickly now too) is pretty much the only way we are not going to fall behind. We don't have the time to architect some beautiful dream, we need to shit or get off the pot NOW, it's starting to stink in here!

I really liked this quote (from the same article) too:
This process [Security Insurance] changes everything. What will happen when the CFO looks at his premium and realizes that it will go down 50% if he gets rid of all his insecure Windows operating systems and replaces them with a secure version of Linux? The choice of which operating system to use will no longer be 100% technical. Microsoft, and other companies with shoddy security, will start losing sales because companies don't want to pay the insurance premiums. In this vision of the future, how secure a product is becomes a real, measurable, feature that companies are willing to pay for...because it saves them money in the long run.
> Seriously, the fact that he's a Russian (read "commie") coder (read "hacker") can, and may, get played against him in the press to no end, so it's nice just to see those little words, "legal in Russia," that should humble the cretins who pushed this misguided law.
Or Russian (read "Red") programmer (read "Code") and we've got "Code Red"!!
I am just happy that here on my Windows desktop box here at work, I have Exceed so I can bring up my desktop on the Linux box in the back room so I can do multi-desktops when I need to get some serious sysadminning done!
I've often thought the same thing. The best I've seen is the virtual desktop where you can slide the viewscreen across a large virtual desktop, but still not as easy to use as separate desktops.
I'm curious how they are getting the numbers for the graph at www.incidents.org... If Red Code RANDOMLY generates IP addresses to try, then I have the same chance of getting attacks on my web site that they do. My usage graph for the Reflective Puddle of Leaking Mental Ooze only shows about 65 attempts so far...
This has been getting really stupid lately. K5 and.5e are really doing a lot better than this lately.
It's pretty much a balance of quantity vs quality-./ has a new (but quite often lame and stupid) article to read every hour or so, while K5 and.5e the articles are much better, but less quantity. I can't stop but keep checking./ every couple hours, but the others are something I only check once or twice a day.
Just waiting for something to get better. Either here or them, some reason to keep or stop going here.
What, stick with Lazarus/FreePascal and hope they make an update (Nothing since April from that team), or go with this and hope for the best. If all else fails, it won't be all that difficult to make it compile with FPC, or use one of the many Pascal to C/C++ translators and continue your project.
Steer clear?? Why? You a Microsoft Schill or something?

Yah, but a 1.3 Ghz vs a 1.4 Ghz? How much more longevity does that give you? I'm thinking just about NONE. If 1.3 is too slow, so will be 1.4...

Yah, stupid, I know...
I've often thought the same thing. The best I've seen is the virtual desktop where you can slide the viewscreen across a large virtual desktop, but still not as easy to use as separate desktops.
I guess a better question is -> How are they tracking the number of infected hosts?
What gives? How are they getting 150,000+?
Don't worry about the Internet...
What Internet?
*CRASH*
That Internet... It's OK, have a cookie. (Or maybe "Have a Code Red Mountain Dew")

If this is true, mod this up. Very important.

Yeah, especially if you had some guy thrown in jail while you were on vacation. You know what? You SUCK!
