SCM is nice, but it's useless when you're switched into secure mode anyway. And you are right about the ES series being a bigger bang for buck. The question is, will the ES80 have the same switch architecture? Part of the reason why ES40/45's are so nice are that each of the machines are essentially the equivalent of a Wildfire QBB (minus RAD blahblah) -- an 8-way ES40, would that be treated as '2 QBB's' so to speak, or as one logical unit?
Wildfires are garbage. We have had more reliability problems with our wildfires than could possibly imagine (no redundant power conduits? Ridiculous). Not to mention the debacle about the processors that would work their way out of their slots. The ES series is much more cost effective (fully loaded ES45 under SEWP III: about $60K, and that includes fibre channel cards to hook up to a StorageWorks SAN), and each ES45 is the exact equivalent of a Wildfire QBB, but it can be mroe loosely coupled.

If space-time is positively curved, then yes, it will make a circular path;-)
Doesn't the Apple_UFS have SoftUpdates compiled in? Doesn't ordered writes of metadata preserve filesystem integrity better, faster, and with less performance hit than journaling (which ideally requires its own platter?) Doesn't Apple already have this?
This has nothing to do with the superiority of Open Source, nor is it motivated by a great love of security and diversity (even though these happen to be true). Bottom line is, German Government can't use anything by Scientology-owned (linked?) companies and the disk defragmentation applet in use by Windows 2000+ is licensed by such a company.
Keeping NT4 is becoming less and less of an option approaching EOL.
So the choice is between a commercial UNIX and Linux. It is here where cost, etc factor in.
Tru64 is *extremely* BSD based at the core level, especially with regard to the kernel (/sys/FLATFILE anyone?;-) ). It does have sysV init scripts, but most command syntax (ps, etc.) are BSD based.

Slashdot shouldn't complain about being the recipient of DoS attacks; after all, it's the cause of many DoS attacks. I won't even say it's entirely unintentional, because the editors COULD link to mirrors or COULD maintain a cache or COULD notify the website owner beforehand...

So where's the enterprise operating system? I see Linux, Linux, and Windows. Where's Solaris, AIX, Tru64 UNIX, UNICOS/mp, IRIX? ;P
Picture shooting someone with a dart full of this stuff. You can cause strokes and aneurysms.

"Contrary to earlier reports, NIMA is releasing virtually all of its imagery from these programs except for imagery of Israel."
.NET server is Whistler.

Then Longhorn. (now scrapped)
Then Blackcomb.
Get your pacific northwest ski resorts straight and life becomes a lot easier.
As for the desktop:
Windows 98 was Memphis:
Windows XP is Cairo. (get it, Cairo? Chi + Rho == XP)

A hard drive with five asses!
A small concession would be to have FreeBSD.ORG deny or redirect any requests with HTTP_REFERRER of slashdot.org until release time.

Not nice, but it works for somethingawful.com.

I'd hate to see what happens when TeX expires.
At the intersection of VA Route 7 and Gallows Road (International Drive, depending on which side you're coming from)
karma in an instant:
if (mentioned($something_old)) {
comment("$something_old and something_else_old were put here by $something_even_older to tempt the faithless.\n");

}
That's why Windows XP *IS* named XP. XP == Chi Rho == Cairo.
Nethack and Rogue were placed here by Wumpus to tempt the faithless.
I invoke Godwin's Law. You lose. Have a nice day.
0) Hire Bernard Shifman as his attorney.
Or perhaps vice versa...
So I did.
Now my dick hurts.
The machine seems kind of happy, though.
don't you feel the need to get up and use the bathroom?
Prior to XP, you could always use compress.exe and extract.exe to make .cabs.
A few weeks ago, we decided UNIX wasn't funny.
So we took everything down.
It was a pretty big decision, I'm surprised you weren't in on it.
I invoke Godwin's Law.
You lose.
Thank you. Come again.
