They also compare linux running on mainframes to windows running on pcs. It's lie no matter how you slice it. MS can't possibly make a case for it's products using the truth so it relies on lies, damned lies and statictistics.
BTW Jboss is the most popular java application server and yes postgres and firebird is better then SQL server for 99.999999999999999999% of the businesses that need a database.
Lets say one of your customers needs a database server. Do you sell them windows and sql server or do you sell them linux and postgres? Considering that sql server costs at leat 5,000 per CPU you should sell them a linux box and pocket the 5 grand yourself. If you being especially kind just pocket an extra grand and give them a discount.
Not to mention any linux server you sell them is going to generate more maintenance reveue for you.
If you sell MS solutions the only people making money is MS. Selling linux solutions puts money in your own pocket.
Whoo hoo, the republitards are now with the gay nigger association of america. Makes sense actually, I mean who hates gays and blacks more then a republitard.
Yes republitard. Therepiblitards seems to be especially backwards. After 9/11 I heard one analyst say that the war on terror was a war of modernity against religious fundamentalists. Apparently the republitards have joined on the side of religious fundamentalists. Let's hope science wins again.
The latest eclipse milestone is much faster then the previous milestone, whatever speed difference there is now will probably disapear with the next version.
This is actually trivial, just pass the email through a program that just dumps the email in a directory and then run a cron job which deletes files older then X amount of days.
When I was running qmail I did this with qmailscan, when I switched to postfix I did it with maildrop. It's trivial.
You could also use dbmail to store all your email in a database too.
I know I would never enjoy working for a boss who was a spelling nazi. It's one thing to expect perfect spelling in an official document and another to expect it on slashdot.
Has ZDNET given up even the pretense of being a tech magazine? Have they finally embraced the fact that they are nothing more then a thinly veiled publicity arm of Microsoft?
Where are the real journalists asking the tough questions to the executives of MS and other tech firms. Instead they invite questions from the public there the "experts" will pick the softballs and spew on an on about how safe, secure and super-duper-keen-nifty windows is compared to that communist linux.
"Considering Bush was president for less than one of those years, your assignment of 90% of the responsibility to him is specious and transparently partisan."
He was the president during the execution of a plan. It's much harder to catch planning then it is to catch execution. Bush WAS asleep, many people have testified that he didn't care about terrorism and didn't really want to hear about it. So yes that makes him 90% responsible. Saying "well the planning happened during clinton but the excution happened during my term" is not too bright.
Also you failed to mention the fact that he rewarded every single person who should have been fired for negligence. Not just about 9/11 but also about the dismal planning and execution of an invasion and occupation of a third rate country.
"Perhaps if you could control your hatred of Bush, you could criticize him effectively where he actually does deserve it, such as his irresponsible deficit spending and luddite bioethics council."
Sorry I didn't get around to that, there is so much incompetence, stupidity, and downright evil coming from him and his administration that it would take me the rest of the year to try and list it all. Let's also not forget that the president of Iran and the Prince of Saudi Arabia speak better english then our president, I know that's always been a point of pride for the republitards.
"Dot-coms with impossible business models and massive corporate fraud? Well ok, but I'm curious how you'd go about sustaining those conditions."
By massive corporate fraud do you mean enron, MCI, adelphia et al? I think those were good buddies of Bush.
"Yes, it's a little known fact that Al Qaeda began planning their reign of terror on January 21, 2001."
No, they planned long time ago. In fact a memo was given to Bush whose title was "Al qaeda planning on attacking the US on american soil" (more or less). Bush of course ignored it and went back to vacation in texas.
9/11 was the single largest failure of US security and intelligence since pearl harbor, it happened because Bush was asleep and didn't think terrorism was an important threat. After it happened he rewarded every single one of his highly ranked staff with awards and promotions, he didn't fire even one person.
Bush is 90% presponsible for 9/11 and 100% responsible for failing to punish people who should have been doing their jobs o fprotecting us.
Buy hey, he won't let fags get married and that's the important thing right!
Do you realize that embroyoes are destroyed during fertility treatments? When a couple is trying to conceive they fertilize many eggs and destroy all but one.
What you probably meant was that you are against destroying embroyes for scientific research purposes, you are most likely perfecty OK with destroying them as long as somebody is trying to have a baby.
So you think companies will stay in india paying more and more until the indians get paid as much as us? ROLFLMAO!. They will migrate to vietnam, china, bangladesh, africa or some other place the minute wages go up enough to justify moving. At that point the indian economy will take a severe hit just like our is doing.
Unemployment only measures people who are looking for jobs, many people have given up. It also does not measure the kinds of jobs, many people have settled for lower paying jobs.
Valiant effort to try and defend the Bush economic farce though. I'd take the clinton years back in a heartbeat and I bet so would most Americans. I'd rather have a president got blown in the white house but kept the country at peace and prosperity then to fall asleep at the wheel and let the terrorists kill 3000 people.
Actually best (pop) music tends to come from england, that's been true for a couple of decades now (yes I know there are exceptions and yes I know best music is actually jazz).
I have also seen lots of fantastic foreign movies too. Consider lord of rings for example.
I'd say whatever lead we think we have in those areas is likely to be overtaken any day know.
I especially enjoyed the "unions are evil" bit, because we all know it's great when corporate management organizes to keep the salaries low but it sucks when workers organize to keep salaries high!.
"I'm very glad you can do better; some people would prefer to spend their time using the information rather than getting things set up to see it."
You missed my point entirely didn't you. Let me repeat it. Google does not allow me to see the information I want therefore I have to do it myself. Is that more clear?
Specifically. I want the weather in more then one location, I want the time in more then one location, I want more RSS feeds then slashdot or bbc, I want arbitrary links.
Google does not offer any of that so I won't be using it. I am glad your "some people" are so easily satisfied by the severly limited portal that google is offering them.
Slashdot Mirror
Gee one would think every single of those systems would need a database, I mean how do you do data mining without a database?
What's even more strange is your assertion that there are no POS, CRM, CMS, or accounting systems running under linux.
Methinks you have no idea what you are talking about.

Rose Law Firm != The US govt.
Some lawyer != The president of the united states.
OK republitard?

Really? From the outside it looks like MS is full of sleazeballs without ethics or morals.
Slashdot is not a magazine. You should learn the difference.
I know I would never enjoy working for a boss who was a spelling nazi. It's one thing to expect perfect spelling in an official document and another to expect it on slashdot.

I got a haircut yesterday, the hair contained my DNA, enough to tell whether I am a female or a male and yes enough to clone me if somebody wanted to.
Are you against getting a haircut?
Many people just can't or don't want to handle four years of bullshit to get a piece of paper. Oddly enough they tend to be the brighter crowd.
I don't know why you think one needs a four year degree to be able to communicate and look smart in front of highly educated people.
"If you think that's not a necessity, start your own company."
I am not the one bitching about how I can't get decent people to apply for my jobs.
I am firmly against the war in iraq, does this mean I don't have to help pay for it? If so tell me where to sign up.
"I oppose destruction of embryoes"
Do you realize that embroyoes are destroyed during fertility treatments? When a couple is trying to conceive they fertilize many eggs and destroy all but one.
What you probably meant was that you are against destroying embroyes for scientific research purposes, you are most likely perfecty OK with destroying them as long as somebody is trying to have a baby.
Chances are...
1) You are not paying enough.
2) You insist on certification.
3) You insist on a collage degree.
The best programmers I know are not certified and don't have a collage degreee.
English is not a native language in India. Just like the indians learned english so can the chinese or the vietnamese.
LOL, the naivete of some people amazes me.
So you think companies will stay in india paying more and more until the indians get paid as much as us? ROLFLMAO!. They will migrate to vietnam, china, bangladesh, africa or some other place the minute wages go up enough to justify moving. At that point the indian economy will take a severe hit just like our is doing.

Watching a bit too much foxnews are we?
