...but Who the HELL cares. We are talking about one of the Living DEAD languages here...French. They have no world influence, and thier language is dying. In the end English/Chinesse/Spanish will dominate. Whoops they already do:)
No put the French back in their little box.
Sun is still trying to get people sto switch outta FUD. Just like SCO is spreading FUD. Paint SUNs actions any way you want, they are still a lower form of scum. And now the good news, dont worry about SUN, soon only SUN will be running their gear and no one else. The like SCO are doomed. I predict it, and thus it will happen, now begone..
Here Here...the airwaves have been stolen and totally disfigured by the FCC and the big RECORD companies, as well as CLEAR CHANNEL....Defend them how you wish....there is no way in GOOD conscious you can claim that these people are not totaly distorting everything that was originally intended for the airwaves....lest you forget we the people own the airwaves...not these companies or government agency...
I disagree with your point. Taking that same old tired hardware and installing Linux on it will actually allow it to DO MORE with the same amount of hardware. There is SIMPLY no dispute that WINDOWS is slower than Linux on any given machine...PERIOD. Simply becuase it doesnt have the OS OVERHEAD that Windows has. Thus given X # of cycles Linux will be faster.
So it probably will result in a huge savings for them. Since they can continue to run the PERFECTLY good older hardware and get new life out of it. Instead of having to upgrade every couple of years just to be able to run the OS. So i do beleive that you've missed out on the HUGE savings that is offered by Linux. Also please note that Linux does not demand money every few years for its NEWEST/GREATEST versions unlike MS. Yet MS will drop support for its older version and DEMAND that you upgrade (and pay them) they will also create a new version that will not load or run worth a flip on your older hardware. This is not the case with Linux. So simply put the savings are easy to find.
Lastly, the other factor is UPTIME. The Linux system will have more up time than ANY WINDOWS system....how do i know this...Well i have lots of windows systems. And rebooting (even in XP is required, just not as often as before, but still) where as my Linux boxes just run run run....course so does the Xserve....hmmmm could this open source thing really be true....
It is really a great country we have here, when any common citizen can have a dump truck or two show up and deliver raw manure to almost any address in the country....or say these:)
LEt us NOT FORGET, one point, this is for the US military. Linux is not a US company (hell its not a company) Microsoft is a US company. In the end, I prefer our military dollars get spent with a US company. Sure they have offices and facilities all over the world. But Bill still lives and is an American AND THAT alone makes it OK! Just like if IBM had gotten the contract. It woulda been fine for me.
It looks like I'm the Apple troll today, so I have to point out that there is a specially designed Xserve U1 rackmount for clustering apps.
Actually, Ill be the troll, all Xserves are cluster ready. It just takes more than one, and it is cool! Just Frickin expensive, baby!
Well with windows i find that a periodic reinstall of the OS (the older the OS the more often) removes weird problems that cropup from use of the system.
Ah windows....got love it...NOT!...they make me use it just to punish me:(
Um..TARD...it is not the first DESKTOP 64-bit desktop computer/OS...NOT by a long shot...now take your PRO-APPLE lies someplace else...
BTW i own a G4! So dont say im apple bashing cause im not...Im bashing you for your public display of Stupidity....
Thank you.. sure you will call it trolling but it doesnt make any of it less TRUE!!!
Lets see BRAND NEW hardware CHEAPER and MORE POWERFUL than older systems on the market....WHO THE FUCK WOULDA thought that would happen....
Damnit/.'s is this the very first time you've seen this type of thing. I mean really....isnt this the basic lesson of computers....
I mean I know im buying a G5 already...but im not gonna sit here and say wow...its cheaper and more powerful than SUN or even my old A-4 Burroughs mainframe...i mean NO SHIT...thanks for stating the obvious....
I bet if you people really try you could find literally thousands of systems more expensive and less powerful than the new G5....
And the intel / AMD world will eventually eclipse both of these specialty market players. (Laugh all you want but in the end the big boys, and thats not SUN, not APPLE, not any of these sliver marketers, will sell more boxes then all these REALLY good companies combined....thats how it is kids...in the end you will be able to order up a DELL for 1/3 the money that will do the job and that is what will make the BIG money....)
Although i am glad to see Apple starting to play again...in the end that is all they are doing is playing....Now go worship those that have already WON the game...his name is BILL...
sorta like buying any illegal drug in the US.....sure its illegal but if people want it, people get it.
Another fine lesson from the LAND OF REALITY!!!!
Oh shut the FUCK UP you bleeding heart liberal PANSY ASS WAIST OF HUMAN FLESH....or we will shoot your ass next....
MF...study your history and you will see this IS THE HUMAN CONDITION and your pathetic IDEALISTIC NONSENSE has no place in the Real Fucking World..

if the machine can do it better than a human then lets let machines do it. Screw those that say this ruins our wonderful tradition (is this the same tradition that led players to strike and wipe out a whole season!!!) Im not saying that this is the system to install, but i have seen PLENTY of BAD calls in MLB...and for what those umpires get paid it is unacceptable. I bleieve that one day we will use playback and computers to make the games officiated as fair as possible. Which will be WAY beyond what any human ref/ump will ever be able to do. Or do you not think that a machine can be built that will out perform humans for specific tasks. If you do then you sir are destined to be made a fool of...
Um sounds like to me the above poster is who edited the book...
No if someone would be kind as to translate the above posting back into english or even enGRISH!!!!
Try the preview button, and try reading your comments out loud...it might just save us all a lot of "WTF is he trying to say"...
I think most of you miss the point on the automakers and these SUV's. Sure the big automakers make them, sure the suck huge amount of fuel and hog the road....but if the CONSUMER didnt want them they would still be sitting on the sales lot. The point that most tree-hugging/eco minded ZEALOTS miss is that JOHN Q PUBLIC doesnt give a rats ass about saving this or that, they want a big damn truck and can pay for it, so they get it. END OF STORY.....
Even after all you green-lovin MF's get you way there will still be those of us that will still have our big/fuel in-efficient/pollition generating vehicles. And if you dont like it SCREW YOU. Welcome to the land of the free.

too see /. able to offer a little assistance to the anti-spammer world. The /. effect removing weak servers from the WEB one at a time...
You've got it all wrong...they are just gonna redo it fror Mystery Science Theater....in which case it makes a fine B- film.
Would that be the GAY-PRIDE-PARADES they have at Disney world kinda Wholesome image? Just curious....

Use the language best suited to the task at hand. There is no Uber Languge and there never will be. Somethings are just best handled by a specialist.
