I don't know what kind of printer you got, but I really don't think that anyone would ever notice a performence hit on their printer driver. Ofacuse network card is an other case, and I really don't want the driver to my gigabit netcard to be written for windows.
They do? Then how come nobody ever sees it? My linux setup does newer crash. At at the university we got something like 100 indy/Octane/O2 workstations widtout ecc memmory and they all got a uptime which is equal to the last time someone cut the power. But we might just be luckey.
The problem with writing an im client in Java is that an im is something which always is runnig. There the heavy memmory requirement/usage of the java vm is a big problem, because you don't want 10-20MB memmory taken away by the im.
This problem would not be so big if only sun would make a vm which allowed many programs running in the same vm thus sharing the memmory usage.

But it's not that expensive. He write that the price per developer is 700$/Month. I don't know the price of a typical offices, but even if a normal offices only cost half that much, I think that the 350$/Month per developer is a good deal, which will pay back.
Intel have for a long time, allowed software to use 32GB of ram with a 32bit virtual address space by using a 36bit physical address space, and then allow applications to change how to map the from virtual to physical memmory. That way an application can change mapping, and thus switch between which part of the physical memmory that is visible to it. This hack is called PAE and currently supported by intels XEON processors.
The G5 does support something similary with something they call bridge(See the register story). This allow photoshop to remain a 32bit application, while still beeing able to use more then 4GB of ram. But this is as much a hack as pae, and thus the questing remain: Can an application use a 64bit virtual address space.
Can they rollback? Their documentation is poor(Or I could just not find it) but based on the description i found on the site, they said that rollback was not posible.
Are you sure that using segments to address more then 4GB would work? I seems to remember that all segments share the same global 4GB Address space. They just use different parts of it.
Yeps, this sound wierd, but that was the way it was explained in the book about x86 I had.
But how do you identify a p2p client. Where I live we also want to cap p2p but there is no good way to do it. Just doing it based on ports don't really work. (It hit to many other services such as games)
But that is only usefull if they use 64bit integer math. My guess is that they need theese computers for their fpu power which always have been atleast 64bit, even on 32bit processors.
ALmost all problems that require integer math, can be solved with 32bit integers, so doing 64bit integer math, will just shuffel 32 zeroes around.
Remember that the drivers are part of the linux kernal. Linux does contain drivers of high quality, but it also contains drivers which sometimes crash and finding out which driver causes problems is quite a problem. So he might have a piece of hardware with a bad driver.

It did crash on both computers he tested it on. Maybe he should switch hardware.
And that is different from now exactly how???
That is true but nobody should pass a struct to anything which can be considered third party.
If you use your struct to pass data between methods widthin your program there is no problem with binary compability.
You did forgot a factor of 2. First you say
Each processor can do 2 fpu instructions/clock. So each computer can do 4 fpu instructions/clock.
They do? Then how come nobody ever sees it? My linux setup does newer crash. At at the university we got something like 100 indy/Octane/O2 workstations widtout ecc memmory and they all got a uptime which is equal to the last time someone cut the power. But we might just be luckey.

I begin to understand how they get to be much faster then MySQL and Oracel :-}

Yes, but altivec can't make 128 bit integer math. Well, i don't even think it can make 64bit integer math. Afair it can only du 8,16 and 32bit math.

Did they? Try to look at their sales numbers. If a port of a top game don't even sell 10.000 copies there are no way to survive for a company.

It might be because MySQL got lousy locking
It is not, but why would you ever want a threadsafe string?
Except that no game has any kind of usefull dual processers support.
