Small snack? Cartridges are what most people who do not know any better call "bullets." The part most call a "clip", which is in fact, a magazine, could hold "some" snacks, but would probably gum up the workings to the point it would have to be taken apart, cleaned and oiled.
Has anybody told you that based on your rudimentary grasp of grammar and spelling, along with using words you do not understand in an incorrect fashion: e.g. "middleware driver" (Do you even know what middleware is?) One would assume you are pedantic and not too bright. Your opinions are half baked and based on what appear to be hearsay and lack of experience to which you will not admit. As well, your sig appears to be flamebait.
It can bug you all you let it. It IS intel 64bit architecture. Intel designed their spec to be "mostly" compatible with the AMD64 spec.
However, the grandparent simply said Intel 64bit. If he was using Core 2 Duos, then, he purchased intel brand CPUs. They are 64bit. QED, he was right and you were pedantic and not funny.
Um... EM64T is mostly compatible with AMD64 (x86-64). A bit of research would have shown you that. You seemed to have looked up the EPIC/IA-64 set just fine.
Time to actually use FACTS in your post. Novell and Red Hat both contribute tons of support towards F/OSS products. Use KDE or Gnome ever? Thank Novell. Using SAMBA to authenticate to AD or otherwise use complicated SAMBA features, thank Novell. Both RH and Novell have done a LOT for Linux; more than Canonical has. They are also not "Buddy Buddy" with Microsoft. The deal was pure business in a case where they wanted to make sure their customers did not defect for fear of lawsuit or reprisal from MS.
Perhaps you are not close enough to the NYC area to realize that many people are upset by the whole thing and SAW people falling to their deaths. The movie did not want to be associated with the negative issue, so they removed the scene.
I never meant that Novell was evil. I meant Microsoft. Novell, as a whole, have contributed quite a lot to the F/OSS community in the way of packages, updates/fixes and such.
I don't disagree that they are evil. I think that the company has many heads. Some tell the truth and the others exploit that to their benefit at everybody else's detriment. However, I do not think that Novell is a bad company, though there are elements that I disagree with (Miguel, that means you).
This is a qualifier. A qualifier modifies the original and makes it different. Many fast-food companies make "burgers" However when they take that burger, and put it on a 3 layer bun, add special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions et al they have a Big Mac Burger.
Linux is a kernel. Red Hat Linux or Ubuntu Linux is their OS built around the kernel. That is how a qualifier works
It made/makes me nervous too. I thought it was extraneous and unnecessary but they did it, perhaps hoping that the "Tier 1" providers like RH and TurboLinux would sign too, maybe keeping the non corporate players out of the enterprise. I have no idea. However, they have made some improvements to SAMBA and now they have a chance to give Exchange a true run for its money. I would rather they signed a deal with IBM to help make Lotus applications more friendly, less bloated and target Linux systems that provided a Lotus/Linux revival.
In that way, they could have given Lotus the feature parity that it lacked against Exchange, while still banking on the features that Lotus/Domino has that Exchange does not.
A full collaboration suite based on Linux and Lotus + OO.o could help remove the entrenched Windows/Exchange/Sharepoint/Active Directory. Using Novell's directory products and Single Sign On tools along with IBM's collaboration software they could provide a near soup to nuts approach. Linux as the OS (Any flavor, really), Novell's Groupware/Directory products, IBM's collaboration suite perhaps friendlied up with OpenExchange and Ximian knowledge, SAMBA for compatibility with windows shares and they would have a full solution to uproot other Windows applications.
This is not to say Novell will not somehow implode due to the bad publicity of the deal or perhaps some of the minutia embedded in the legal documents, however Novell has money, experience and a good product. They were/are not trying to scuttle Linux to somehow make MS proud or destroy open source.
Many people on board with Novell drank the kool-aid on Linux and GNU tools. If they lost Linux they would lose a TON. They contribute to OSS projects, and even pay their devs to work on them for a week as part of their main job. A lot of really cool things are coming out of Novell for Linux. The Gnome and KDE projects depend on them for many cool things, including the task bar panel in KDE.
I am not saying that Novell can slay the dragon or that it was the BEST business decision, but that it was not a case of Novell trying to subvert OSS like so many people think.
Too many people have taken the deal with MS the wrong way. Novell really tried to make both camps happy by making Linux and Windows play nicely, but people seem to think that even trying to work with MS in any shape or form is a pact with Satan himself.
I understand that there is danger in dancing with the devil, but when you have asbestos underwear and lots of experience under your belt, you are not always foolish for doing so.
Novell contributes SO much to the Linux user experience, and under F/OSS licenses, that to think that they are the devil's gardener are foolish. They are not trying to undermine Linux. They are not trying to OWN Linux any more than Red Hat is trying to "Own" it with their subscription model and additional tools that are not open source at the moment (read: RHN/Satellite server, etc).
Right now, Novell are the good guys. They are developing more for the casual desktop user than Red Hat and even Canonical. They are also not forgetting the big iron guys, as Z series IBM boxes hardly run RHEL but often run SUSE.
Then lets agree to disagree. I don't consider the people collecting to be superior or inferior to those administering the will of "The Powers That Be". They are all part of the same wrong.
I don't think it is piddly and I think that allowing it to continue will be allowing the fruit of liberty to wither, being choked by the weed of tyranny.
As for fighting it? Sure. When the march to collect undesirables comes, I will not line up against the wall like a sheep among wolves.
You think that only a jackboot on your neck is an offense to liberty? You think that only 1000 free men in jail under false pretenses is wrong? I believe that these offenses, the wholesale destruction of the presumption of innocence without cause, are the big issues. They lead to so much more, but they are the basis of the destruction of our inalienable rights.
WE DO NOT receive our rights from the crown, nor the presidency or Congress. They are given rights by the breath we take and the blood in our veins.
THESE ARE the big steps into destroying privacy. We are to be secure in our person, houses, papers and effects. This is a sweep without cause. It is criminal at the highest level. The problem is not just that "The Government" has this, but that each and every employee that has access to it can abuse it as well.
I realize that mdb is a great tool. I have limited exposure to Solaris, but I was able jump in, having UNIX experience on AIX and HP-UX as well as Linux, to debug a problem we had with an OODB on Solaris/Fujitsu SPARC.
The problem turned out to be kernel tunables with ZFS, which, is a shitty beast to deal with, or was at the time. Sure, the ease of use and flexibility was there, but performance sucked.
Don't blame me, my predecessor was the one that tried a "New and untested" file system on an important DB server. I had to limit the ARC buffer size, change the read block size, etc etc.
However, having used both RH and SUSE, I can say that RH has its pluses, however Oracle has certified SUSE and Oracle's Enterprise Linux......sucks compared to either one of them. I would use SUSE or CentOS or RHEL before it without pause.
Use SUSE and rejoice. The tools for what you were doing are not only cleaner and more robust, but they actually exist. Red Hat is great, but SUSE for oracle seems more natural to me.
Install the Oracle prep RPM from Novell, all parms are set.
Multipathing? Not nearly as hard as you seem to make it out to be. As well, to me, multi-pathing involves FC and not IP bound networks. STILL a lot easier to handle in SUSE than RH
You want zones? How about using a hypervisor? There ARE solutions for Linux to let you share the kernel like zones will, but I still like using something like Virtual Iron or Vmware.
Try strace. Brandz has something about Dtrace for Linux if you like that sort of thing.
A consistent naming scheme would be nice. Having it live in both the world of 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8...etc and 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, and 5.10 is silly for the time it takes to explain to management
IT has a responsibility to maintain control. Lack of it will cause them grief or possibly termination. They don't necessarily do things just to make the end-user's life horrible. They do it because they are understaffed, underfunded and undertooled to make it both SMOOTH AND SAFE. They have dealt with users who are moronic, but unable to identify their own idiocy.
In order to maintain some sense of structure, everybody ends up paying because Joe User wants to install Bittorent meanwhile Sally Sysadmin would have only installed the core fonts she needed and some chat programs to make sure that she can maintain an eye on her kid at daycare and her team at work.

BSD and Linux need reformatting every 6 months? Why? Hell, you could simply dd the image to a new machine if you so choose.
However, the grandparent simply said Intel 64bit. If he was using Core 2 Duos, then, he purchased intel brand CPUs. They are 64bit. QED, he was right and you were pedantic and not funny.

I hope you mean the 2.6 kernel changes from 2.4. 2.5 was the unstable branch.

Every few years the malware comes out newer, shinier and costs about $100-400 depending on if you get the Home Basic or Ultimate versions.
Perhaps you are not close enough to the NYC area to realize that many people are upset by the whole thing and SAW people falling to their deaths. The movie did not want to be associated with the negative issue, so they removed the scene.
Actually, I believe that scene was cut from the movie due to the collapse of said towers and the implications of that.
Interesting choice of words. However, I assume you meant liable and not libel. If not....well.....

It would have been poetic justice if the counsel for Novel said, simply "No, I am not calling you a liar. I am proving it."
