I wonder why Microsoft doesn't just decide to build a new OS from scratch that will only run its own software and be very limited but only do one thing good. It doesn't surprise me everytime an exploit appears for programs or OS's nowadays since no one tries to make their stuff secure. Even OpenBSD doesn't do enough. They need to start with more limits and be less user friendly when you are doing something like database software.
Best thing about cloudscape is small embedded databases for java programs rather than making calls to a huge mysql database.
You may say that java is slow but anyone using cloudscape for more than 20,000 entries may not be thinking that through.
Cloudscape will also be useful for java programmers to program a database using java.
I type "has wrote" and nearly 40 comments about how dumb I am. Next time I won't even submit news and you people can go to kerneltrap for yourselves;)
Thx mods for fixing it to "has written"
Isn't it all about being free and open anyhow? Solaris will be a great addition and we can try out yet another *nix. Some people cry that solaris is nothing good at all but I'd say its a step up from freebsd on the server side of things. It was the "best" commericial unix anyhow.
Idea swapping will be the best thing about the 2 platforms. If only we did the same with bsd's.
If you want a really geeky browser thats faster than you should check out moox's compiled firefox. It loads pages 3-5x faster (with benchmarks to prove it.)

Scully isn't getting any younger . . . let it all hang out and I'm certain I'll go to see it in theaters . . . . or rent it and take it back to my bedroom.
Didn't you read the terms and conditions at signup? Its our mission to ping ever single server no matter what service they provide. Thats the rule of being a slashdotter.
I think it was a bad idea to have a site slashdotted while its down . . . . it shouldn't be able to stand a chance.
No really, I wish they would have waited a little while. Now the admins are wondering why they suddenly are getting 200,000 hits.
I am more concerned with the idea that "when you send something in xml is in text form and therefore easier to read." -- Well how about you make a secure connection before you go off throwing your text around? Isn't this how 99% of the world buys stuff off the internet with their credit cards?
Problems with bzip/gzip -- not on windows.
This is the best interview with him I have seen . . . the interviewer is actually asking questions and talking to him. He wrote questions but he can also think on his feet.
Sometimes I wonder what it'll be like when there is no more ballmer or gates. Imagine what microsoft will be then!?
I wish that all the OS's would put more of an emphasis on security . . . more like openbsd(well maybe not them. They hash everything).
Microsoft and Linux are both insecure. I think what needs to be done for linux is that we need a site dedicated to handling security patches, etc. Then they could just access it all through this one website. It'd be better than a mailing list.
Not very informative for slashdot ppl. I think we should have had an article more about code or something. I think most slashdotters understand codecs and the differences in lossless and lossy compressions. Waste of 15 minutes.
uh, I don't think the fbi would want to open the source . . . I don't care how many eyes we have on the code, someone like the chinese will have 4 million eyes on it searching for errors and compromise it.
I will not buy another apple product. I am getting tired of both microsoft and apple. I am gonna stick to doing my own computer stuff. If anyone else wants to . . . do what I am doing and express your opinion to apple via email...
G4 has been pretty horrible with some of its gaming stuff. I watched some of it yesterday and the only good thing was Xplay. The shows where they show people playing tournaments are lame. I could download a replay of really good players before watching that garbage.
Question: Is there no longer a screen savers or fresh gear!? At least fresh gears would do well on another network. People love electronics.

Haha . . . why don't you go run Hurd and tell us how fun it is to finally make a partition bigger than 2 gb?

I doubt that anybody on slashdot is gonna change the country.
I think there should be a pre-judging phase where they throw out stupid lawsuits. Sort of like how they do it for the Supreme court.
I think he implies that the girl live for Me.
Thats right, sometimes I go by the name John.
hmm . . . well imagine all those people constantly hitting F5 . . . and waves of slashdotters on top of that . . . lol, its so evil!

I know it is on IE but is it built into windows servers?

I didn't read the ******* 80 page pdf.

roflmao, I wish I had modpoints for comments like this.
