  1. Maybe if we all ask nice /. will start using SSL.. on FBI Wants to Tap The Net · · Score: 1

    Please CmdrTaco, oh lord and master of slashdot, please start using SSL for every bit that is sent out from /. I'll start using SSL on my website, if we all use SSL imagine how much encrypted data the FBI would end up with, what are they going to do decrypt it all?? Of course with the current bills in congress soon we will all have to use encryption that has backdoors so all these laws can be tied together to tie us up and rape us all in the backdoor...

  2. Re:Power4/PowerPC on Intel Gets PA-RISC Engineers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can say for sure that an HP B2000 (HP9000/785)with a 400MHz PA-RISC (1.5MB cache 512MB RAM) CPU runing either HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0 smokes an (admittedly sucky) Sun Ultra-5 400MHz (512K cache -so the whole test is iffy anyway- 512MB RAM) workstation running Oracle 8.1.5/6 on S(l)olaris 7 or 8. If I had my choice I would go for an HP workstation over a Sun unit anyday, BUT I can buy about 8 500MHz SunBlade-100 workstations for the price of one B2000... Don't get me wrong the HP is server class hardware in that workstation, a better product in every way, but OMFG do you pay for it. The Suns are 'commodity' class hardware but great bang for the buck if you need a mature 64bit platform and O/S.

    It will be a shame to see it go, but maybe I can get some of those HP workstations cheap soon.... 8-)

    >>price/performance, Solaris can't touch it....

    It would be interesting to see a cost/oracle-transaction break down when you start talking about enterprise servers. Say how many transactions/second can an e10k with 64 CPU's and about 1TB of RAM do? Now how big a linux cluster/pull-whatever-kind-of-x86-HW-out-of-your-a ss-to-compair-to-an-e10K would it take to get as many transactions/second?? How much will all that hardware cost? What will each system cost you over 5 years? (Admin salaries, hardware maintainace, how many $$ you lose to downtime, office space, power, A/C, etc..)

    I don't really think that linux can even be compaired to Solaris in a case like this. Apples to oranges.

    Of course I'm wasting my time responding to an AC who is just trolling anyway...

  14. Re:Why do you want do this? on Is Linux Losing Its SPARC? · · Score: 1

    I administer 2 e450's one is about 2 years old, one about 1 year old. I have had one power supply go bad on me. (The server didn't go down until I shut it down to swap in the new PS, and it could have been hot-swapped.) The uptime on one of the e450's was 5 months 14hrs, when I checked it before I moved into our new bigger server room. No random reboots, no bad CPU's no bad RAM. I have been happy with the e450's, until I started getting some HP servers, an L2000 with 4 360MHz 2 MB cache cpu's, 4GB RAM abosolutly SMOKES the e450's with 4 400MHz 4MB cache CPU's 4GB RAM. Next to the HP's the suns just aren't up to speed.(HA!)
