They're not interested in tuning it and tweaking it. They want to get their work done
I also find this line a bit peculiar. Big cluster computing and large clusters are - hopefully - in the caring hands of people who know what they are doing (be that enthusiasts who build a culster, be that Sun shipping 10thousand nodes to a company, etc.). So MS is saying they don't target the professionals who want to tweak, to achieve as high perfoarmance as possible and have everything under scrutiny and control.
So they plan to target whom ? My 90 year old neighbour so they can cluster the toasters and the washmachines ?
And forget about those speciality implemenations like Google
Hell, why should we, these are the best examples of how great linux/unix clusters are. Hell, just imagine the next Mars expedition to be simulated on Windows clusters. Thanks, don't want to be on one of those probes:D
The first version will reproduce many basic features of Linux clusters, Theimer said.
Then why not use Linux?
Oh, because it's much more fun having to deal with Microsoft sutff, with all the authentication, activation, licensing and sudden mass death of all the nodes because of antarctican weather changes (i.e. unexplained).
And, oh, one more thing, this way one could easily explain to the bosses why they need 10x more powerfull (and expensive) hardware to do the same stuff as others to for half the money.
Nope. Time to stop blaming the US for everything that goes wrong in your world. You guys need to start taking reponsibility for your representatives' actions. I am sick and tired of Europeans blaming the US for every damn thing. Grow up.
Yup, and maybe you also have to have a bit broader view, and also grow up a bit. Thing is, while blaming US for everything as you say can not be sanely explained, bad market behaviour (yes, that can be quite subjective at times) seems to have a brooder in the US. The same is with the sometimes outrageous methods for IP-"protection" of some US associations.
Some of us europeans just get a bit worried from time to time when wee see US-born "unwanted" or not reallty desired (mal)practices being enforced on us by big US(or other)-based corporations and lobby parties.
Come on people, Debian does not matter anymore... Sarge has not yet a totally working and usable installer, it is difficult to navigate the w.d.o website to find the damn complete iso's, the jigdo/mkisofs couple does not work well
Ignorance is not always bliss you know. It can sometimes also be blushingly stupid. On the other side, it's always fun - to an extent - to read all the tons of crap coming from people who don't have a 2 ns experience with anything Debian.
Thing is, Debian SID is just as rockingly good as any other distro you could find (telling this with almost two years of debian "testing" usage). Not a wonder you can also find debian sid-based other distros out there.
For some years now no other distro (which were quite a lot) was allowed to come out of vmware to replace my debian. I constantly keep checking out and evaluating other distros, and if I find something better, then I will surely change without hesitation. Till then, I'm happy with it. The only other distro that has made me happy for a time was slackware.
Well, you must deliberately mention ext3 and reiser, right ? I'd never touch ext3 with a thousand foot pole, reiser is fairly nice, I still don't use it. Please come around again and try to bash xfs for me, please.
If MAME and it's logo has not been registered as a trademark, then Foley can apply to register it, regardless of how long it has been used
IANAL, but if I recall correctly from my studies of IP a word doesn't have to be officially TM'd if it has been used for a time and it is widely known who and what it means and belongs to. I may be wrong with this though.
Then again I could always just get the damn map myself without using the Google toolbar...
Exactly, and the toolbar isn't a compulsory thing either, you have to specifically wish to download and install it and reading it's notes before you do. You're not forced to do anything with it.
Yup, yup, then MS will come out a new product called Moogle beta 1 containing a search engine, a usergroup interface, a revolutionary webmail service, a photo managing application and also a search2map interface:]
Hey, on second thought, maybe this isn't that much funny.
So, this is kinda cool:) Don't worry about good ol' spyware, your Windows is crapped because invisible stuff running in the background that only we can detect and the solution is to reinstall:) Not that you didn't have to clean install (or re-ghost) your Windows every now and then, but at least now you have an official Microsoft reason for that:)

Well, language knowledge and habits differ quite a lot around Europe. I'm quite a bit to the east from you. I myself watch quite a lot of English series episodes and movies. Hell, I even watch DVDs with English dub. Unfortunately for us, there aren't many people who do this around here. However, there are many, many people who write subs and they appear quite fast if one wishes to read them.
...when we read something like They wanted to cut through the near-religious arguments
I do not believe that security evaluation has anything to do with religious beliefs. However, wishing that Windows (including server applications like IIS) is superior in security than Linux counterparts does indeed require a somewhat meditational deep religious vocation.
[OFFT] Hell, offtopic it is then, if one would gather all the money spent on crappy tv shows, nobody would ever die again in africa from diseases which we don't even care about anymore. Cause you know, in africa as maby people who have died during the tsunami die every 3-4 months. [/OFFT]

Apparently - again - idiotism can lead to success in this world. Fair 'nuff, but how come I can't possibly pass around far enough to avoid these things ? Never mind.
It's a terribly inefficient method for propagating information across the Internet
You obviously never ever had any good non- or professional conversations on usenet groups, ever. It was the bless of heavens for group messaging. It was very efficient and very easy to use. And very huge amounts of information was delivered. And you didn't need a web browser full of fracking holes and useless web interfaces to do that. It was all simple and good. That was back when spammers were modded out, that is. Today, when the new, brilliant, all-knowinginternet-generation grows up, they all very dumbly and dead-seriously know that nothing can be useful unless they use it. And guys like you come up from time to time and show us the brilliance that only dumb ignorance can gather.
I am criticizing an academic who criticizes the fundamental economic principals that puts food in the mouths of software developers [...] sitting comfortably in his academic bubble collecting a paycheck for picking his ass
Some people are just ignorant and dumb enough to speak in such ways about academic researchers, who actually came up with much more technologically and theoretically important stuff ever, than any company could've, ever.
Maybe, for some, it's hard to believe that some people not working their asses off for some bullcrap company could have useful ideas and could do good for a society.
Maybe, it's hard to see that being fairly (and yes, sometimes falsely) free can lead to such bright ideas which are a bit less frequent amongst working drones.
Maybe, it't not widely known how wide relations big companies have with university research labs, for a good reason.
And maybe, citing words like "socialist" or "communist" for the words' sake does nothing else than prove an unimaginably deep hole of ignorance.
criticizes the fundamental economic principals - well, it could just happen, that these economic principles are not everyone+dog's principles, and sometimes being a bit more openminded could lead to a better understanding of the world and ways of people's nature and way of thinking.
Who made it law that software development of the MS nature if the yellow road to heaven ?
Slashdot Mirror
and if only the introduced folders and got of their weird no folder notio
Well, I surely hope they don't, it's one of their best. Even my little sister got used to it in a few days and loves it.
were absolutely terrible, or you immigrated here and need to learn more of our culture
Well, and I thought measuring temperatures has to do with science, not culture. Whatever.

Well, well, talking about being imperfect, and Star Trek quotes:
"I stand before you defrocked. Condemned to be a member of this lowest of species. A normal, imperfect, lumpen human being."

pay Microsoft a bunch of money/stock
:]
Yup, yup, then MS will come out a new product called Moogle beta 1 containing a search engine, a usergroup interface, a revolutionary webmail service, a photo managing application and also a search2map interface
Hey, on second thought, maybe this isn't that much funny.
Are you implying that the defendant will always lose?
Against Microsoft ? Is that a question ?
So, this is kinda cool :) Don't worry about good ol' spyware, your Windows is crapped because invisible stuff running in the background that only we can detect and the solution is to reinstall :) Not that you didn't have to clean install (or re-ghost) your Windows every now and then, but at least now you have an official Microsoft reason for that :)
Well, because at your place these things go like: - Hey we pay you, let this law pass. - Okay, you got it.

They might, they might not. One is L(ocal)AN/M(etropolitan)AN/W(ide)AN, as the size increases. In case of wireless, just the WLAN notion has spread.
