That's like pondering a shift to a different brand of gasoline for your car; you don't plan a migration, it's a compatible product and just works upon use.
Sure, it's a platform (chipsets, etc) change but if you're running the IT of a corporation and change platforms, you're buying a lot of *something* and buying a lot of AMD is no different than buying a lot of Intel.
They figure out how to run Linux on an iPod... so they install Linux, and Apache. I don't think their iPod server is capable of withstanding a slashdot yet.
You're forgetting to imagine what a Beowulf cluster of these babies could do!
There's only $12 Billion of lost revenue ONLY if those users would have bought the service otherwise.
This is just like the phone companies saying that they lost Billions in phone revenue because of phreakers. Ummm, they wouldn't have made most of those freebie calls if they weren't free!
Same thing with CD sales. Sorry, but maybe Billions of dollars of music were freely traded with P2P networks but what percentage of those "CDs" that were downloaded would have been bought otherwise? I know I deleted almost all the stuff I listened to but I certainly bought more CD's than before P2P because some of the "guesses" I tried, I liked enough to pay the artists for!
Unfortunately, the lawmakers are clued out so this makes for effective propaganda to get laws passed in favor of these "battered" businesses.

You should be making 2 times that, more so since you are a linux admin
So why should he be paid more because of Linux?
Isn't the TCO of Linux supposed to be *lower* than other operating systems, particularly Windows? Everyone knows that system administration accounts for far more cost than the initial purchase price of the operating system and now you're saying that Linux administraton should cost more?
And, yes, he should be making more than 28k. Significantly more.
It amazes me how cheap companies can be when their entire operation is on the line. In auto racing, when someone finds an "awesome deal" on a helmet we tell them "$50 helmet for a $50 head".
Slashdot Mirror
...seems he must have left his keys in the car.
>> I'll be a bit miffed if I don't live to at least 70
> No, you won't
However, he will be miffed just before he gets to live to be no more than 69.
Micropolis hard drives were always very quiet too--they'd go clunk and stop making even the faintest whirring noises...
Just like the company!
Looks like they've been "Slashdarted" />>---> ????

7.5 tons of television is going to buckle the floor of my house!
Can it play Duke Nukem Forever too? Oh, wait... ...forever.
Man, I'm just full of cliches today
Well, they are a dime-a-dozen, you know.
