Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first time I remember someone from Slashdot actually going out and finding news, rather than let us bring it to them. Regardless of my feelings about Unisys, I congratulate Roblimo for going out and finding out what is really going on.
While I agree that NT is good for somethings, I do seem to recall a story about hotmail trying to switch to NT and failing. Now running on Sun. In my personal experience, our live servers are NT, running Commerce server 3.0, SQL 7 and IIS. I personally don't administer them, but our uptime is about 2 days between reboots. We've been on the phone for days at a time with Microsoft, and things have got better, we use to have to reboot nightly. (actually had it set up automatically) for what we are paying, that kind of quality is unacceptable.
umm, this is Utah, in the entire time I lived in St.George (10 years) I recall only one murder, and it was a domestic dispute. In my 3 years of highschool there there were 3 fights (oddly enough, all involving friends of mine) It's a great place to raise kids, but I wouldn't want to live there...

911 Calls Linux

growing up as a non-mormon in southern Utah, I can say that most of this is not true. While there is a very high involvement of the church in Utah, it is mostly friendly, I was invited to all the youth events and never really pressured in to going to church, which is more than I can say for the Baptists when I lived in southern Missouri. As for the school system, most of Utah (with the possibly exception of SLC, which is 70% non-mormon) has a very excellent school system, I graduated in '93, and I was using CAI stations in the electronics classes as well as having the oportunity to take college level chemistry, english, physics, CAD, history classes. (by actually going to the local college)
I went to High School and college in St.George, and finally got the college to switch the campus wide helpdesk to Linux before I left, I went to look at it today, and sadly all the extensions ended in.asp It would appear not everyone in St.George is forward thinking.
Well, I hate to say it, but I purchased several books from amazon just this morning. I like thier search engine and the reviews included. However, this is going to make me reconsider using ANY online ordering. From now on I'll find the books on amazon, then go to my local bookstore and buy them. Also, to complain to amazon, email info@amazon.com (maybe a little slashdot will help them rethink things)
Are giant websites (Yahoo, the biggest of them all) blocking anything? I find almost everything I want off the web at yahoo and northernlight, the only time I got to CNN or most other news sites is when slashdot points me there. The point is almost all websites have links to external sites, some like yahoo, exist solely for that purpose
I wonder if this information takes in to account that yahoo automatically update every 2 minutes or so? While I imagine this trend is true, I always wonder where they get the numbers. The previous article that refered to the web being similiar to looking up someones asshole make give us a clue. Incidently, where does slashdot land in this list?
Linux may not be the desktop choice of the future, and if it is, it'll be different from the Linux server of the future. There are other choices for a desktop system that are (or will be) better than Microsoft (BeOS). And either way, competition is good, maybe it'll force MS to make a better OS (about the same time penguins are ice skating in Hell).
Being able to actually watch people through walls is one thing (and you thought lead paint was bad). But it appears this systems basically just says "yeah, there is a person 2 feet behind the door on the right. Sounds like a great idea to me, I'd hate to be the cop walking through a door not knowing where someone with a gun is standing.
we need a website for old computers

Perhaps we need a website for old computers (I have a 486 that could host it, if I had a fast Inet connection) Where people can get rid of thier old computers for cost of shipping, incedently. I have some Motherboards, HD's >100MB, and even a 386 I have no use for (gf said 5 running computers was enough).
