Actaully, I see them shipping lots of $10,000 models to 13 year olds with rich parents who then wonder why they cant run Doom 3 at 6000x12000 resolution
Lucky bastards, I've got a Geforce4 MX and XP Home.
And a Winmodem.
The quest for bandwidth continues;)
From the looks of things, they may as well stick with Server 2k3, because Longhorn is running out of new features.
And remember, 2006 doesn't mean Longhorn will actually be released by then, it means that there's less than a year or two to go. And the server release will come a year or so later.
And besides, I like to think that most sysadmins don't choose an OS based on a/. story about REMOVING features from said OS.
Unless you have your files somewhere else. I have my My Documents in R:\home\lachlan, programs in R:\opt. It had better be configureable, because not everyone will keep their files in C:\Documents and settings.
The cleanest way would be to scrap the Windows architecture and rebuild the OS from bottom. But their popularity will bite their back and asses: this would breake approx 3.5 million applications and even simple stuff like Virtual Basic
Not to mention that this would give a release date of about...ohhh...2012
Almost the same, but C:\Documents and Settings includes (surprise) settings, as well as temporary files, browser cache, etc. which I may want to search.
Do you really think a site full of Linux people, run on Linux computers, and owned by a Linux company is the place to advertise Microsoft software effectively?
As much as I like SMD, here in Australia, I can't get any in the quantities I want (need ONE 4k7 resistor? buy this $60 box containing enough resistors to last for the rest of your life! Want ONE 7805 regulator? here, buy 10 at double the price of through hole!), or at a reasonable price.
Too many hobbyists stay with through-hole, making small quantities of SMD parts expensive. Not to mention that I can't even get most ICs in SMD form.

That's right! Microsoft doesn't want to be left out of the DDOS market! Raher than download a third party program to bring down our servers, we'll make one seamlessly integrated into Windows, with an OS X version coming soon!

IOCCC is the International Obfuscated C Code Contest.
The whole point is to make working code which no-one can read.
Almost as bad as English really... ;)
Not only that, I don't consider the ability to churn out unreadable code a good trait in a programmer
To be able to make something like that, you need to be able to understand the language well, which is a good thing.

Oracle RAC is one, but I can't think of any other popular title that would, expecially not for the desktop
Apache. It's on this computer I'm typing on now. Over 300 threads. I THINK it might get just a bit faster.
But I guess their total disspated heat will melt computer case :(
The low power versions only dissipate 30W of power.
This wouldn't be as reliable as having 96/48/24/12 computers with 1/2/4/8 processors each, which would be important for things like movie animation.
And besides for movies, we already know to just fit as many Opterons in a rack as possible. What advantage does this have (except for cost)?

Anyone care to guess what OS I like to use?
But if they call attention to WinFS contantly, people might use it as a partial basis for an upgrade. But how many people actually USE meta-tags now?

Seeing how they always go for backwards compatibility, why would they take it [the registry hack] out?
Not My Documents, C:\Documents and Settings.

If we all build nukes, will you really care about the weather?
It has to be physically connected somewhere, otherwise the platter will bounce around.
And don't forget the heat - IIRC air resistance is why consumer drives are slower, because the average computer user doesn't have a well cooled case.
When my friends ask me how to set up a LAN, pronouning router as root-ah at least gets their attention ;)
I thought root == fuck everywhere in the world.
Maybe Linux system aministration is just one big fucking joke then?

Forget the motors, there's a LASER inside them!
If it's an old version, then there would be less bugs, wouldn't there?
In reality, that is irrelevant, the title of the books starting with "What's Happening to My Body?"
Someone enlighten me: do ATMs leave paper trails?
Yes. Yes they do.
And how would you load an operating system without rebooting, or using VMWare?
