but I somehow doubt that they would actually play the whole album for song 1 till the last just because it is a piece of art.
Anyone know?
I'm not questioning their right to make a profit. But I'm not so brainwashed with capitalism that I am blinded by it. Neither am I a communist (as the previous post suggests). What I am against, in this particular situation, is that they are effectively limiting my choices (that is if they are planning to drop support for it). So ya... fuck them if they want to make a profit that way.
Companies that buy their competitors out always make me feel like they are admitting defeat in the face of their competitor and so just take the easy way out. I'm not talking about mergers here, that's a different story where both companies can benefit from one another, synergies and so on. Its not like Oracle is unable to build something that can compete with MySQL or SleepCat. Its more like they want to buy the name for its brand recognition (MySQL in this case) and expand their market share the easy way... make investors happier... increase stock price... profit.

Point well taken. However,
I would be having serious questions asked of me in terms of whether the extra time and cost would ever justify the "benefits"
Looking at it from the other side of the coin, what is the cost of not doing it? Do you lose a lot of business, clients or user base who will switch to a more AJAXy site?
well, aren't people kind of used to page refreshing now anyway?
Used to it, yes, accept it, HELL NO. People will adapt. They might even think "Hey my browser is faster than it used to be" or "My internet connection is faster than it used to be". They might be thrown off temporarily, but sooner than you think people will come to expect a website not to refresh. Its like getting a new version of an application. There's bound to be changes.
Well *nix has had and still has some of the most advanced CLI's in the OS world and that took years of perfection. I have a hard time beleiving that anything superior is about to come out of a "Me too's" ass. I have nothing against them producing a new CLI (I even welcome it), but please don't boast about its superiority so fast...especially since its not there yet.
"It will exceed what has been delivered in Linux and Unix for many years", "It will take three to five years to fully develop and deliver", anyone irked yet by the constant use of the future tense.
I always have a hard time beleiving any sales pitch that goes something like "I have the best product", or "We beat every so and so". Generally I tend to stay away from boasters, not just becuase they irritate me, but because they tend to have an inferiority complex and bullshiting is their method of making themselves beleive that they are indeed better. Well beleive your own shit if you want...but please don't splatter it cause it stinks!!!
- Oh look a big bubble
- I want to get in
- Sheesh...its really tight in here uh...
- POP!!!
- oh oh the bubble burst:-(
I love google, but I seriously doubt that we're going to see a dramatic increase in their revenues any time soon. And by the time bubble lovers realize that they're going to be left with nothing but popped bubble frizz in their pockets.

An NIH source says there are no plans to "unseat" Microsoft products, which are widely used throughout HHS. However, Linux products provides "an attractive low unit cost" for thousands of scientific users within NIH and other HHS agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the NIH official says.
Basically the way I read this is "It aint for everyone or everyjob...but put in the right place and in the right hands it makes a lot of sense". Which is why I've always run a mixed shop here.
The study by Thompson and Ford compared Microsoft Windows Server 2003 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 on such factors as the number of reported security vulnerabilities in 2004 and "days of risk" -- the amount of time between the public disclosure of a vulnerability and the availability of a fix.
Windows Server benefited in part from Microsoft's reduction of security vulnerabilities in the latest version of the software -- with 52 reported vulnerabilities for the year, compared with 132 vulnerabilities for the Linux version, according to the report. The researchers also calculated an average of about 31 days of risk for the Windows software in 2004, compared with an average of about 70 days of risk for the Linux version.
Yeah but how many people get to review M$ code and discover new vulnerabilities? Did they account for that in their bug count methodology?
Well, biased or not, but for whatever reason, I find that I have to reboot WINXP/NT a lot more often than I do Linux. Eventhough I patch and install a lot more software on Linux systems than I do on XP/NT. And I'm running XP, NT and Linux as a mix of workstations and servers. But I won't advocate switching to any platform!!! Let people choose what they want and they will learn from their choices.
surprise surprise, i don't have a favorite distro and i can't seem to pick one to standardize on. At home i recently did an ftp install of Mandrake 10 for my desktop and Gentoo on my f-wall router. At work I have gentoo on my desktop, old RedHat & Mandrake 9.1 on the servers, debian on another desktop. Plus one Knoppix to show off to freinds. The truth is that everytime i hate something about a distro i try a new one. And the result is that i end up hating something else about that distro too.
Example, Mandrake drove me crazy with the 3cd download every time there was a new version. So i gave debian and gentoo a shot. Debian seemed fine until i somehow started having package dependency problems and it started feeling like RedHat and Mdk (probably my fault). Then Gentoo came in. Other than the long compile times and the changed/etc config files!!!! i love it;-) RedHat doesn't appeal to me anymore cause of the Fedora thingy, i felt back stabbed by that. Knoppix is cool and can be extremely handy....thats it. I even tried Knoppix's HD install...reminded me of Debian, probably cause it is;-)
If Mdk has one thing going for them, its that they have a pretty polished free distro thats easier on the newbie but doesn't limit the experienced user.
So for now i'm mostly playin around with Gentoo.
Seriously though, everyone knows that magnets have two poles...and this one is definitely on the repelling side. Chicks will run away so fast that not even a time machine can catch up with them.
didn't see any mention of tcpflow...has anyone (except me) ever used it? On several occasions it has helped me figure out the real cause of the problem. When all i could see on the client machine was a cryptic error message, i would fire up tcpflow and analyze the real data being pushed around. Ofcourse if the data is encrypted....tough luck!!! Nevertheless is has saved my ass several times.
I'm confused. Does that mean, in addition to updating openssl, I also have to recompile openssh with the new version of openssl? Also what about mod_ssl, or anything that depends on openssl being present in order to be able to compile?
hmmm...maybe they ran an audit? That is if they still have a license with SCO I'm sure one of the clauses secures the right of SCO to run audits on their clients. But if it is shown that they gained the information illegally then the case should be thrown out of court...yay!!!
"Analyzing real-world custom application-development projects
pinpoints areas where Microsoft tools save money: lower product costs, lower labor costs due to simplified development processes, and lower maintenance costs."
This is off the get the facts website.
So they are basically saying that they are more cost effective in some, but not all areas.
What about the other areas? Where did they go? If you find them please tell me;-)

:) thanks ... very enjoyable. Now I'm scared. Do I have to switch to Windows now?
Concerning the name. I don't know if it is a coincindence, but "joomla" in Arabic means "sentence".
True.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll stay in Canada for now.
