I've managed to get DB2 UDB 8.1 EEE working in Debian, and Websphere Application Server. There isn't really anything ditribution-specific in any of IBM's software, at least not in my experience. The only issue you may run into is that if you call a tech at IBM, they might not be able to help you if you're running in an environment other than what they're trained in. Of course, decent techs should be able to adapt, but since the support is not officially there, it's something to be concerned about, particularly for a business.
I've only used this software for personal use (playing around with $20K toys, mostly), but at no point did I ever run into a problem that was a result of running it in a distribution other than Redhat. More often, my problems were related to a lack of experience with IBM's configuration tools, and an improperly prepared environment. (Java sure is picky.)

I wasn't aware of anything you couldn't get over BitTorrent. Why would you mess with spyware-ridden software and risk getting subpoenaed by the RIAA for slow download rates and fake files?
RPN is a feature unique to HP calculators, though. I've never come across another calculator that used it. There's a third party program for the TI-89/92 that implements it, but it doesn't integrate as seamlessly as it does in HP's calculators. Once you get used to RPN, it's a lot more efficient than algebraic.
PC Magazine did a comparison a while back, but it was pretty much useless since they based results only on sound quality, and didn't even report filesize.
Perhaps the first number you see is the number of sponsored results, and once you get past those, you see the number of real results. That would also explain why narrower searches give higher numbers on the first page, since there are fewer sponsored links.
Did I say that parents should buy porn for their five year old kids? No, I don't think I did. I'm talking about kids aged ~14-17. Kids that are still legally the responsibilty of their parents, but are mature enough to start learning how to take care of themselves. People don't magically become adults on their 18th birthday (I would know, mine was 2 months ago). It's a gradual process, and it needs to begin long before kids go off on their own.
Right. Because the law is so much more important than preparing your child for the real world. Let's stick them in a cage until they're 18, then toss them out into the sea and see how well they swim.
But IBM designed the PowerPC 970, which is what the G5 is based on. Nothing is stopping IBM from selling PPC970 computers to consumers, with Linux preinstalled. And maybe Apple would finally deflate their prices, if they got some competition.
Just because it's got GPL drivers doesn't mean it's good. Here's an excerpt from my kernel log:
Nov 15 15:39:08 debian kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting Nov 15 15:40:00 debian kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting Nov 15 15:47:15 debian kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting Nov 15 15:48:18 debian kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting Nov 15 15:49:07 debian kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting Nov 15 15:56:21 debian kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting Nov 15 16:02:18 debian kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting Nov 15 16:04:03 debian kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting
Of course, that beats my Prism 2.5 802.11b card:
Oct 21 17:05:38 debian kernel: eth0: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP Oct 21 17:06:09 debian last message repeated 38930 times Oct 21 17:07:10 debian last message repeated 77347 times Oct 21 17:08:11 debian last message repeated 76456 times Oct 21 17:09:12 debian last message repeated 76904 times Oct 21 17:10:13 debian last message repeated 77600 times Oct 21 17:11:13 debian last message repeated 75482 times Oct 21 17:12:13 debian last message repeated 72258 times Oct 21 17:13:13 debian last message repeated 70948 times Oct 21 17:13:47 debian last message repeated 39696 times
The Prism 2.5 card has since behaved better, but the Atheros one is leaving those messages constantly.
"Founded" means that they had something to base it on. I'm guessing none of these people had access to the script, so all of thier theories were unfounded, whether they were right or wrong. They're just guesses based on what they want to movie to be.
DARPA funds a lot of scientific research. This is a good thing. It doesn't neccessarily affect them directly, but advancements such as this will likely benefit everyone, so it's worth it for them to put money into.
fruit
n 1: the ripened reproductive body of a seed plant
2: the consequence of some effort or action; "he lived long
enough to see the fruit of his policies"
3: an amount of a product [syn: yield]
v 1: cause to bear fruit
2: bear fruit; "the trees fruited early this year"
A tomato is the ripened reproductive body of a tomato plant. A tomato is a fruit.
How about the Google text ads? A lot of sites, slashdot being one of them, run these ads. Instead of a banner, you get 3-4 text ads that use Google magic (tm) to make them relevant to the content of the page. These are the only ads I ever click on, since these are the only ads that ever have anything to do with that I'm doing. As far as I know, Google is the only company that provides context sensitive ads. Running ads that people will actually click on seems like a very good way to make money. Plus Google also provides fee services to large companies, and they keep adding new stuff all the time. As long as Google remains as innovative as they have been, they'll last a very long time.

Yeah, maybe they can start on that once they get some Windows drivers that work.

Is there any other kind of church?
So they have the latest beta of KDE, but they can't have the most recent stable Mozilla release?

Wow, it looks like whoever designed that site just discovered mod_rewrite.

Stop being ignorant.
Energizer e^2 lithiums are your friend. They last forever in my digital camera. Plus they're like 1/3 the weight of alkaline.
Notice how it says "Coolest Invention of 2003." The Segway was released in 2001.

No, because SCO doesn't have any money. You can rack up a bunch of IOUs, though.

Also, it isn't a chip, it's a single transistor.
Google's profits actually come from the manufacturing and sales of weapons grade plutonium to Middle Eastern countries.
Almost. As soon as you fire the maid, the books magically reappear on the shelf, there's no need to dig them out of the closet yourself.
Don't use Symantec Internet Security 2004. It's not a violation of anyone's rights unless it's mandated by the government.
