Harvard is a business school not exactly *the best* technical school. But I digress. I'd rather hear from MIT or Berkley or Perdue or whatnot on the matter...
They don't mention customer support, security and bug releases, interoperability with large scale Solaris/AIX/HPUX environments, proprietory protocols just for silly documents, business ethics, embedded devices, etc.
I'm no Linux zealot but I have to say any conclusion of any sort would be an egotistical and hubris opinion meant to spread FUD.
When I reach into my toolbox I definately don't say it's pliers vs screwdriver which is best tool and come to a conclusion and then write a paper on the topic.
How do they expect the populous to adopt another proprietary media format? They have got to take their head out of their arse and play with the rest of the world.
Yeah support contracts is a huge reason for corporate use.
But don't forget, if these boxes are running any software from Veritas or on an EMC SAN or any 3rd party application vendor that requires a specific kernel flavor rev. But once again those are large corporation reasons for using SLES. Enterprise versions from Redhat or Novell versions are more ISV partner friendly. I can't imagine Oracle trying to keep up with OpenSUSE rollouts. Or Dell/HP/Sun/IBM/etc qualifying their hardware for support every six months. Yet another Forbes like reason though.
I'd say 90% of the rest of the time opensuse version (or whatever sandbox version) or most any linux distro for that part could do the job for technical reasons.
When he said hobbyist, skillset didn't come into mind, but purpose of the box did.
"We wanted small cell sizes for higher data rates so users' wireless experience matched the wire," said Bourque. "Aruba's system is built for this 'cellular-like' model where the WLAN switch actually controls the transmit power, channel assignment and personality of each AP based on what service we need to provide. Cisco focused on larger cells and extending the RF signal around campus."
12 Switches are Aruba w/ the 1000+ APs. Cisco does the data/voice network and the larger cells. They by no means are anti-cisco most of the network is Cisco.
So the answer to the parent comment is "You are correct to assume that they aren't foolish enough to fall into a single vendor lock-in"
I work for the reseller Networked Information Sytems that sells them all their Cisco gear. I was one of the shmucks to go and flash all the IOS images and config the vlans, etc.
The article leaves out some cool stuff like they use Vocera which act like StarTrek communicator badges. I get a kick out of asking where a specific person is and because of the aceess point they are connected to the computer answers back with their location and if you would like to call them, all while walking across the campus. And they also leave out the fact that they don't bother using any security on their 802.11 though.
JNI cards blow. I had some Sun E4500's that all used JNI SBus cards. With the system at run level 0 and sitting at the prom they were still talking to the rest of the loop and freaking stuff out.
Sorry people that are experiencing problems. My first time running iMovie3 was slightly slower then subsequent uses. Havn't experienced any crashes or bugs yet myself. Been havin a blast with it's new iTunes integration.
Current methods involve injecting fat cells or "pulling out" more of the internal part of the organ.
Is it just me or the fact that they put the words pulling out in quotes a bit strange? It's almost as if the article was written by some horned up teenager.
I think Will should go to each and every one of the people on here that have bad mouthed him and show up at their house and beat the crap out of em. Jay and Silent Bob style.
Sorry bout Nemesis.:( It's a shame it wasn't more directly related to the plot. But I gotta admit, I hated what was done with your character in ST:TNG though. But until the day I die 'Stand By Me' will be one of my all time favorite movies
And I have to admit, with you hanging out amongst the throngs of hardcore geeks I have to respect some of your hobbies also.;)
You'll always have the jerks that will associate you directly with that character for years to come, but your number one in my book man.
It's also interesting that they are doing this in New York. I thought all chip manufacturing was done overseas, where labor is cheaper. Perhaps IBM is getting some sort of government subsidy for creating American jobs. Or maybe New York has a good supply of chipmakers already, so they can find more skilled workers.
Not all of it is done overseas. Check out Fairchild Semiconductor's Manufacturing or National Semiconductor or Motorola to name just a couple off the top of my head. I know some of them at least do the manufacturing over here, but assemble them over seas. I know both National and Fairchild only becuase I use to support the Suns and VAXen for production in the fabs.
WebSphere stinks in my opinion. We had IBM come in and help set it up on my Sparcs. It runs dooooog slooooow no matter what they did to tweak it. Mebbe IBM didn't optimize it for Sun SparcII, but that was like 2 or 3 years ago.
The fact that I am not a fan of Java or JSP in the first place didn't help that I was taunting the professional support the whole time.
But from what I saw and heard the developers said it was trivial to go from ASP to JSP though.
Running Solaris as an Admin I have crypt encrypt some docs upon.login and upon.logout for some documents. Never tried it for OSX but I don't see how it should be any different other then it's going to pop up a GUI asking for your passwd.
Following the UNIX and Perl mantra, there is always another way of doing something...
Not that I've tried this or even really given it much thought about it. But the command line "crypt" in your.login and.logout could always crypt and decrypt your home dir. Just a thought.

Population count of europe? 6.5 billion? 50,000 some how doesn't seem like newsworthy stuff.
Please don't help me... You have used one of the most asinine examples I have ever seen...
of the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer.
Do you think the employer wants to hear the part about the divorce and paying alimoney and child support? They probably don't care about that part...
Definately not a utopian society we live in.
Just makes the meme pool that much larger to draw from I suppose

In your case study: "Cisco focused on larger cells and extending the RF signal around campus." And it goes on mentioning Cisco throughout the article.
Cisco provides the core switching and routing, the VoIP, etc.
Man thats the first time I've had to say RTFA/RTFM in ages.
The article leaves out some cool stuff like they use Vocera which act like StarTrek communicator badges.

Go with Emulex instead.
EMC stopped supporting JNI cards anyway.

Youz guys are in so much trouble now.

I see no reason why it wouldn't operate with the current EQ servers. This isn't a new version with new protocol methods and stuff, it's a port.
So can yah help a brutha out and give proof that your not spreading FUD?
All Your JPEGS are belong to us...

Look at Crypt using Blowfish and all that jazz.
Running Solaris as an Admin I have crypt encrypt some docs upon .login and upon .logout for some documents. Never tried it for OSX but I don't see how it should be any different other then it's going to pop up a GUI asking for your passwd.

Whoever modded me down, YOU SUCK. A totally valid comment and I lose Karma from Excellent to Good now. Again, you suck.
Not that I've tried this or even really given it much thought about it. But the command line "crypt" in your .login and .logout could always crypt and decrypt your home dir. Just a thought.
Then again I haven't used Linux in quite some time just becuase I found myself doing nothing but hacking instead of be productive. So don't mind me.
