We are not fooled... but you probably are... Pls. tell me when do you consider something a drop-in replacement for something else ??? Do you buy a new car as a replacement for the old one ??...so you can use the same tires and wheels and other leftover from the old one ??
I am sorry for you... especially if you REALLY think that 4 months of uptime is much for a server... I've (my place of work) got 5 AlphaServers with Tru64 wich has run for 3 years (that is OVER 1000 days) without a reboot... and that is considered NORMAL in UNIX/Linux, NetWare, Vax, AS/400 and S/390 environments...

anything is better than Windows... well allmost anything...
"more consistent, predictable,.." You will see a BSOD sooner than later... and you will get "Application Error, memory could not be read/written"... and all this happens with applications from well known manufacturers (f.ex. Microsoft) and the standard answer is "this is temporary, reboot and it will work again" (wich is usually correct)....and since the problem is not consistent or easy reproduceable it is not a problem... oh and btw. don't bother us if you have an OEM version...
"... well for me, it was clusterfuck."
You've got everything wrong, dude: Clusterfuck is good, it is like a Roman orgy. Just imagine, you and a lot of naked beautiful women. I think that you were talking about something called "clustershit"...

10x more expensive ?? Why are they then using single mode fiber where multi mode would be enough (single mode is more expensive than multi mode) ? I do not really buy the 10x more expensive argument... glass (even flawless) is cheaper pr. kg than copper... and btw. you can multiplex a signal on a copper wire too... Where I live the most expensive part of laying anything in the ground is the digging. There is one factor that in fact makes fiber cheaper than copper: glass is corrosion-free and will last forever.
Skype is not standards-compliant, allowing it and any vulnerability to pass through corporate firewalls.
Skype's encryption is closed source and prone to man-in-the-middle attacks. There are also some unanswered questions about how well the keys are managed.
Enterprises using Skype risk a communication barrier with countries and institutions that have already banned the service.
Skype is undetectable, untraceable, and unauditable, putting organizations that are subject to compliance laws at risk.
The question of whether VoIP calls constitute a business record is a legal quagmire. Throwing Skype into the communications mix further clouds the issue.
...and what I think about them...
Neither is MS Office (or several other MS products), Adobe Photoshop etc.
So are several other encryppiton schemes... and a man in the middle attack is in fact easiest to make on a POTS, just connect a speaker to the wire.
Use SkypeOut, POTS or a cell phone ?
That seems to be the mantra now : encapsulate everything in HTTP
Busuness record ? if it is not on paper or other approved medium it is not a valid record... and btw. VoIP on a Cisco CallManager is strictly speaking still just VoIP, so I presume that several large banks have the same problem ?
No, I do not defend Skype, I do however attack Info-Tech's lack of sanity !!
I suppose it is because you can cut 1/3 of your class 9 UPS away : You don't need the DC to AC converter, then you do not have any loss in your DC to AC converter and as a bonus you do not have any heat from the DC to AC converter (so you can save on the cooling). If it is built as described the saving is quite big...
There are several very good reasons for using AC and high voltage (high = 100 ~ 240 volt)... DC are heating wires up (since the current is on all time when something is connected) and there is a quite big transport loss in low voltage (pls. check Ohms law). You may install a low-voltage (under 50 volts) circuit but remember : a wire for 16 A AC may usually only carry 2 A DC so 100 W @ 12 V DC need a 2,5 mm wire and you only need a 1,5 mm wire for 2000 W @ 220 V (all values are approx since I'm drunk right now).
It works perfectly on a MS SQL Server... Until first time server is rebooted...:-D ...and it must be rebooted every first tuesday in the month...

It is firday... and I am in my "I love to hate M$"-mood...
It is not good enough... It should be something like this: "Any software that forbids us, in any way, both technical and legal, from evaluating it and its purpouse will automatically be flagged as malicious by our system and removed."
"...for built-in thermal guides to safely remove heat, no risk of misaligned radiator." are "two M6 bolts integrated in the casing for mounting the radiator" an acceptable solution ?
"I was waiting for someone to ask this - and the reason is very simple. As a desktop OS, Linux sucks."
I keep hearing/seeing this over & over again... I use Linux (SuSE 9.3) as a desktop OS on my laptop and can't really understand what people are talking about when they say it. Could somebody pls. try to explain ?

There are tons of people using GNU software on the net... the problem is that the commercial jerks have seen the light of the Internet and are methodically destroying all the fun for the GNU people...
If it should by done by corporations then it wouldn't be a totally new solution... it would have been an addon to ftp or gopher... If some "mad" scientist have invented it, the corporations would try to stop it in all possible ways... ...and if it was invented by the military it would have been secret for the next 30 years...
I've just worked for a couple of days in a server room like that... wich used to house mainframes, enormous room btw. more than 1000 m... It is now totally rebuild and used for "normal" racks. They don't put the AC units along the walls anymore, they put them in every row of racks. There is something like 10 tiles (6 m) max. between AC units.
Dumping settings should be easy, all mentioned settings are somewhere in the registry (for most app.). The only problem is the username/password for the mail system. The "suggestion" part is more complex, software is not static... and my suggestion for a IM app. (kopete) may be different from what you (ore somebody else) want and/or like.

Is SuSE without Hubert Mantel a SuSE people want ?
...is not a bug. It was planted on purpose. It is malicious code, a trojan or virus.
"...for built-in thermal guides to safely remove heat, no risk of misaligned radiator."
are "two M6 bolts integrated in the casing for mounting the radiator" an acceptable solution ?
...it looks just so sexy... It so big, and there are so many holes...
My GOD... YES... YES...
Sorry... It just came over me...
