I think the problem is that those who enjoy animated epics are on average quite a bit older than before and simply expect more than Disney can deliver. It's not that their failures are worse than their old classics, it's just that when we have come of age it requires more effort to pay to see the crap.
Simply put, Disney's moves always lacked depth, unless it was a remake of someone elses work.
The japanese master the art of story telling, which it is all about. Disnay is doomed, unless it can come up with good stories. Which it probably never will, it's too institutionalized.
And while I'm bitching... I can't watch Disney crap bacuase of all the singing musical crap, for gods sake S-T-O-P.
Except, he didn't make Linux for the reasons you think, it was not to be supperior or because he didn't like Minix. No, it was because he wanted to learn the PC architecture and because his computer wasn't good enough to run Minix all that well.
Not to mention that Linux was originally closed source; so what exacly is your point?
You don't with Windows either, but you have to make sure there are no handles to critical files when you do. After that you can just use dd or whatever, I use dd, because I came from a unix background and found it the most simple solution.
If you're not in the know and still reboots, why not just g4u?
That depends on the subscription, at my current job and at my previous we get and got all the stuff for free. Though in all fairness we where just 3000 people at my last job and now we are just 50:)=
Still being a Microsoft Partner and IBM Premium Partner is a real advantage.
I have not been using OpenBSD sice 1999, but hardware support was never its strong point... though what it supported was,like all the BSD's, supported extremely well.
It's a good call, in spirit of BSD. Scott's drivers are exellent and they just need to port those.
Considering this, and especially Theo's view on Free Software; i.e. that it isn't anywhere close to real freedom, a stance I agree with btw; I'm quite surprised, pleasantly surprised.
I've moving into WebSphere (WS) as a system architect later this week (new job, wo-ha!). The impression I got is that it's VERY popular, just that WS Application Server (WSAS) is middleware, and you can really run WSAS with Apache or IIS as front-end if you really want to.
WS is as straitforward as.NET, i.e. not at all; it's both a product, and a concept (i.e. marketspeek). The WSAS is the product, and WS the marketspeek is a load of crap.
Personally I would rather see a Boo solution, it would more elegant than anything on the market, it it will never make it though for the same reasons PHP is so successful; which as nothing to do with being a really good product (like most success stories).
On the other hand, Lotus Domino and Notes are probably the best and simplest platforms for extension, that's why IBM bought it.
All Domino developers have been complaining to IBM about the horrible interface since its birth, and it got even worse with v6; that has bitmap themes; ARGH! Themes suck ass, second, bitmap themes is pure sodomy (which is why GTK+ etc are so horrible).
I totally agree, for us though, unit testing has already been done; thus, requirements reuse allows us to pick the parts that worked and no need for (much) unit testing, just the final build tests.
The most important thing is common sense; depending on your team, different methodology is needed.
The most important aspect of development for my team today is requirements reuse, sound silly but works great. By following this simple methodology we have made errors nonexistant; it beats unit testing by a mile in efficiency, plus it matches the results.
Most other teams fail with this approach though, and hard. It simply comes down to what the team is made of, mine love it.
Most Oracle clients are considering migrating to PostgreSQL during next buisness "year" Bwaaaahahahaha. Man, that is funny. Where did you hear such nonsense?
Guess what? From our clients that use Oracle!
now that it runs natively on Windows; to simplify the development and testing, thereby reducing TCO.
What does that have to do with anything? It's run natively on Linux for a long time if cheap platform was the main consideration.
Because most of their own developers use Windows. Instead of everyone having an expensive Oracle installation on their desktops (not economically feasible) or everyone sharing a testbed server, each development team is completely independent from what the others are doing; this is security reasons, or in short, economics.
I'm not saying they shouldn't move or they couldn't move (though in many cases, some Oracle features do prevent switching), but really, "most oracle clients"? I think not.
Indeed, we have been pushing for PostgreSQL for several years, but management refuses to run something that doesn't run on Windows. Thankfully, this has changed, and while the bigger institutions will not switch, almost all medium and small clients will not upgrade or purchase more Oracle licenses.
And for those three it would be better to use Oracle, simply because all the people working with their DB2 installations knows Orcale better. Knowledge is more valuable than the product itself.

To be frank, AS/OS/400 experts are hard do come by, and sadly they often tend to live in an alternate universe.
Maybe you can't read, I wrote that SQLite and PostgreSQL covers the entire spectrum up till Oracle; that means that there is no need for another database other than those three. I personally use a few more, but I would do away with DB2 if I could.
However, there already is SQLite and PostgreSQL that covers the entire spectrum; up untill Oracle is needed. As I unfortanly doubt that these databases compare to Oracle, so they are in essence racing with a dead horse; it really might be a beautiful dead horse, but it's still dead.
I really like new things, but they are pushing their luck when introducing a database into an already overcrowded market.
The temporal argument is important; "which came first?" So, Apple should win, because they where violated and the press is taking advantage of that.
I like news on Apple, but it's really dumb to think that it's the press' god given right to write about whatever they want. Ask yourself this, "what if they begin publish medical journals?"
Secrets are, mostly, secrets for a reason. They are hurting Apple, and they could hurt you too.
It's silly that MS has to remove applications from Windows, they should be foreced not to install every single application and feature by deafult or at least give the end user the option to uninstall them. As it is now most people will not bother to get a better application simply because: WHY HAVE TWO APPLICATIONS INSTALLED THAT DOES THE SAME THING?
I build my own XP Pro CD's, stripped to the bone, just the way I like it.
Slashdot Mirror
OK, OK... I _will_ donate again... :-P
Thank you Slashdot, dupes in the BSD section; well, at least they post news twise as often.
No they won't; unfortanly; because it's open source. People are cheap!
:-)
Now, go get yourself a subscription and think of all the lovely and unrivaled man-pages that you get, similar to a magazine subscription

Nothing really, but ESR usually have nothing to say that interest me, but I saw this one.
Anyway, this one has nothing to do with it, but this was quite funny; wich i why I like Kirk's lectures.

Dammit, I want hot grits down my pants :)
On a more serious note, it think it's great that it will have more violence, as in the books it's really dark compared to the other two prequels.
I hope it's not a rating for only violence inte film, but because of nude scenes with Natalie Portman!
That depends on the subscription, at my current job and at my previous we get and got all the stuff for free. :)=

Why is there a jet-powered penis flying around the 'O' on the logo? What exacly is the symbolism there?

Really, that's great, but we have finally convinced most of them to switch and that really help us as consultants who specialize on PostgreSQL. :)

In enterprise terms, a switch.
True, but only 3 of the clients run OS/400.
