No. JBoss is the J2EE container. WebObjects is everything that goes inside the container -- a whole bunch of doodads (beans, scripts, code, whatever) that you now deploy in a standard container.
JBoss has been used as the container since Panther shipped, or shortly thereafter.
WebObjects was one of the leading Application Servers (along with NetDynamics and Kiva) 3 or 4 years before J2EE even existed. Since the price went from $50K to free, it saw a fairly significant drop in market share. Sorta strange what a big price drop and drop in marketing will do... now BEA can plunder peoples pocketbooks instead.
Who have deployed 3 Oracle 10g RAC installations on Xserve G5's. They said in their testing that 10g on a dual 2.0 G5 was about 30% faster than on a dual Xeon 2.4 on Windows. Now that's not Linux (they hadn't done the direct comparo), but that shows that it's not completely unfit for server operation.
There's a lot more that goes into a PC than a processor. There's, say, the entire motherboard. You think Apple's going to go with a stock Intel (or, hell, Asus) motherboard?
I had a 1984 Honda Accord. Bought it used, with 70,000 miles on it. Drove the absolute SHIT out of it, for 6 years. Delivered pizzas in it for 5 years. That's about 120 starts a night, on a busy night. Sold it with 146,000 miles on it.
Total unplanned maintenance: A fuel pump failed on me at 125,000 miles. I had asked about replacing it at the 120K maintenance, my mechanic said probably not necessary.
I found it to be a wonderful car. Sure, it's not my Audi S4, but it was fun enough to drive, it was a stick, and it was dead solid fucking reliable.
That said, comparing OS X to a "soupled up honda" seems a bit misguided to me. And OS X is pretty fast for nearly everything. Sure, it may not be the fastest for MySQL. Task switching 60 threads at a constant 100% CPU load is definitely a db server, but it's not all that common of a use case. Servers do more than just run databases, and I know folks that have run Oracle 10g tests and found it about 30% faster on OS X (10.3.6) than on Windows. So it can't totally suck.
Why not just through more RAM in there and get a machinen that's 5x faster?
Calling it slow because you're paging all the time due to 128 MB of RAM is silly. $50 and your problem is totally gone. Why suffer?

Wow, a clit mouse?
When I had one of those on my Toshiba laptop and went away for a week, I would have a sore index finger after 3 hours. Then I'd use my middle finger, it would get me through the rest of the day.
The 2nd day I would have 2 sore fingers, and start using my ring finger. Then I was screwed, and started resorting to keyboard shortcuts.
Not to mention, a large portion of the time I went for the G or H key, I would get checked by the clit.
Those things suck. For a laptop, a trackpad is a helluva lot nicer. The PowerBook's with the 2-finger scroll stuff now is pretty nice. But for wired use, the MX-1000 is outstanding.
Interesting. Make it available for developers for, say, $500 so they can test. And then soak the public by offering it at $1K to offset the expenses and funding for future games:-)
You can pay an extra $500 for the card, and there is ZERO performance advantage WHATSOEVER.
None.
Zero, zilch, nada.
Their only note is "well, with all that RAM, perhaps tomorrow's games will take advantage of it!"
Thing is, in 1 year, you'll be able to get a card with 512 MB of RAM, which is 2x as fast as this card, for $399. In 2 years, that same card will be $199. So there is ZERO advantage to getting it now, because nothing can use it, and by the time technology *can* use it, it will be old hat.
My thoughts exactly. I don't really see the need for HD in a video conference, especially when there are still so many issues with regular video converences, and they're so rarely used.
The whole "interpersonal thing" aside, when Joe on his Polycome Videophone in the conference room can talk with me in an iChat session, that will be a good first step. But I just don't think HD is going to add much to a video conference... 512x384 or whatever with reasonably good frame rates seems, with actual interoperability, seems a logical goal to hit first!
I don't understand. If you WANT to sell your music in the iPod format, you can sell it as MP3 or AAC and whoever wants, can use it on the iPod. IT REALLY IS JUST THAT SIMPLE.
If you WANT to sell your music in the iPod PROTECTED format, contact Apple and sell it on the iTunes Music Store. There you go!
What am I missing? If you're a 3 person Indie band that Apple won't sell on the store, but choose to sell protected music, I guess you could fall through the cracks. But then, will people actually pay for your music? Again, you can still sell it to them in an unprotected format.
Correct. XML is verbose and I find it much harder to read than a text file.
That said, it's not all that onerous to read, and you can have defined schemas that you can validate with tools. And Apple provides one (plist editor) with their developer tools. Also, Apple has been using XML property lists for configuration for years now, so to go with plain text files for configuration would be a step backwards (or at least in a different direction), regardless of what Linux/UNIX folks might be doing elsewhere.
As for speed... HUH? So the entire contents of the schema is probably 10K (recall, you don't need to cache the entire file, just read in the relevant stuff and be done with it). So why would you be regularly re-reading configuration files? Can't see it as actually affecting performance at all.
Not FAT32. No OS installed. In my case, I've plugged in fibre attached RAID devices, and had to spend an hour trying to figure out how to format the thing. A Firewire drive, sans OS, would be the same way.
Sure it can search through your OO files, and your WP files, if you have a metadata importer. There is an API provided for writing this importer -- one for MS Office documents is already available. You're such a l337 programmer, you could write it yourself in an hour, no?
It also can find words in PDFs, text files, etc.
Apple showed a demo searching "Yosemite." It returned digital photos of Yosemite (info in the metadata of the files), PDF maps that had Yosemite embedded in them, emails with Yosemite, calendards with Yosemite in an appointment, and 3 or 4 other types of files I can't remember.
Or you'd have your ass handed to you when you realize they're nailing her for SHARING the files, and not DOWNLOADING them, thereby competely obviating your obtuse statement?
Besides, you'd REALLY try and convince people that you are savvy enough to log on and grab a bunch of stuff via Bearshare or KazAA or BitTorrent, but couldn't figure out how to click "Import" in WMP when you put the CD in the computer? Come on.
So you don't think the RIAA provides a list of IP addresses, files shared, and times those files were shared, to Comcast when they're looking for the subscriber info?
Sure, if you take the 3 1/2 year old Windows XP CD, that was released before SATA drives existed, then this is a problem. There are later CDs these days -- if you go down to the store and buy one it's likely revved to SP2, which would alleviate the problem.
Linux is okay to set up if you stick in the CD and let it format and go. I've found it a BEAR to add new hardware though -- I installed a fibre channel RAID device, and it always takes me about an hour to figure out how to get the device info out of/dev/sca and/dev/scb and map them and put file systems on them. Where in Windows (or OS X) they just show up and you format them in the disk utility. Ass-backward IMO.
Apple images ALL the demo machines, and puts very SPECIFIC builds on them. If a machine is plugged into to the Union's power strip on the floor, you can rest assured that it was APPROVED to be shown on the floor.
Right, you can't get Tivo2Go or the home media option.
On the other hand, you can run dual tuners, which is HUGE. And you can download schedule data from teh satellite instead of having to keep the phone chord plugged in, if it's not a convenient run.

It wasn't designed as a server OS because you've seen that in a few specific instances, thread creation times are slow? Give me a fucking break.
I know a lot of folks who run some pretty high performance/high load apps on OS X. I also talked to these guys:

They're badasses. Better not mess with them. Yeesh.

10.4.1 seemed to enable it on my machine, by default. I checked Quartz Debug and it's enabled by default; this wasn't the case with 10.4.

Perhaps you ignored the fact that this article is about reducing launch time on OS X by about 30 seconds, so apparently something was done right?
Maybe you should look at OS X launch NOW, versus "last time you saw it," as "last time" was apparently not sufficiently good for Apple?
Sheesh.

Take an external firewire hard drive that's not formatted as FAT32, plug it into a Linux box, and what happens?
/dev/ and see volumes and manually run mkfs. As compared to Windows or OS X where you get a dialog.
In my experience, in every case, NOTHING.
I have to go dig into

As it's available to WWDC members and requires Tiger, I'd bet it comes available after Tiger.
Then again, I don't know many software products that yet require Java 1.5. They typically support 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5, or some mix.
