"Once installed, Oracle can handle 10,000 customers a second on a 40-million row table"
It all looked good except that line to me. You need a *, I'll add it for you.
Once installed, Oracle can handle 10,000 customers a second on a 40-million row table*
*assuming you have the obligatory DBA who earns 6 figures to optimize your tables twice a week.
unfortunately for me, the company I work for does not. And let me tell you, oracle is a complete dog if you don't have a DBA doing the proper optimizations.
Anyone in the ubuntu community doesn't quite understand what will happen if oracle were to buy out Ubuntu. Ubuntu in my experience is targeted at making it easy for n00bs to use linux. Oracle will definitely NOT be focusing on this area. They'll be focusing on tweaking whatever OS they do use to make oracle easier to use and setup. They don't care about the latest video codec, your new soundcard, or that great new 3D rendered desktop.
The goals of oracle and ubuntu are so far off from each other it troubles me to hear anyone even make the suggestion.
driver crap isn't true? That's funny, my linksys/cisco card won't load on linux without using windows drivers, and it's till a crapshoot at best going about it that way.
If I had a PowerBook G4, I'd load OSX onto it. If I had a Sun 10000E I'd load Solaris onto it, and you can bet your ass everyone else who bought one will too. Last I checked, when you drop 6 figures on a server you want support.
That being said, your point is moot. Knowing I can run linux on a powerbook doesn't chang ethe fact my wireless doesn't work for shit. YOU are all that is wrong with linux right now. Instead of saying "hey, you're right, that's a problem we really need to fix" it's "well f you, that doesn't matter it's not important because of this and this and this". Stop patting yourself on the back, and stop trying to brush a serious problem under the rug. I can only be happy people like yourself aren't running the show or linux would've never made it out of Linus's dorm room.
funny, I see write access by root there. And last I checked, when malware *owns* windows, it's local root, which means the permissions you speak of would amount to absolutely nothing...
And btw, you can make it read only to normal users, but again, this would accomplish nothing.
So if you hacked into a system in China, would you expect the US government to just hand you over, knowing full well your basic human rights will most likely be violated? Still so sure he should be sent *here* and I use the term loosely since Gitmo is definitely not *here*.
Except there's already proof of anti-competitive practices when they blackball vonage. Apparently you missed the part where they're hurting far more private companies than they're helping. DO a quick count on how many sites there are on the internet today, then do a quick count of how many ISP's you have providing your area, do you want to reconsider whether they're helping or hurting private business. You also missed the part where they're supposed to be looking out for consituents... how many small business owners have websites? How many small businesses are affected by this?
This is yet another transfer of wealth from the little guys to the big corporations. The republicans haven't been looking out for their constituents for years, please stop trying to kid yourself.
I know this is going to sound like bullshit, but it's the truth. I honestly do not remember the questions anymore. They had nagged me for years and years and years, and I thought it was finally the chance to get answers. Between the fact that the "best and brightest" could give me nothing, and some other things that happened in my life at the same time, I just let it all go. Take it as you want, but it is the truth. As I continue on this road of life I hope I can remember some of the questions/anger/pain I've had throughout life to find some of those answers. At this point I'm still... I don't know. I guess I've given up a lot of the faith I had, and with it went the questions.
Outside of priests I studied every text I could find... and all I did find was what appeared at least to me, was a lot of men making a lot of bold claims in attempts to gain control over other men. I watched religion being used as a tool to bend others to those in powers will. I guess the more I looked, the more disgusted I became. Now isn't the best time anyways, I just found out one of my best friends mom/brother are dead.
History as written has never been accurate. It has always been written by the victors. What makes you think this (religious texts) is any different? It seems to me the Catholic church spent most of the early days twisting Jesus' words into something completely different than what was intended. After being raised in a catholic household and attending a catholic college with extensive schooling related to theology, I've come to the conclusion it's all hogwash. I'm not at all trying to flame, and I'd love to get into some debates on this yet again. I must admit I'm rusty, and was never even close to an "expert" of theology, but I do know throughout my studies I had questions that no priest or theologian could ever answer. I've heard far too many "well that's a really good question"'s in my time to put any faith in theology.
As a disclaimer, for what it's worth, I do believe in God. Sometimes I'm not even sure why. I consider my God far different from anything proclaimed in any writings or any church. I think they disgrace him by commercializing such an intimate relationship. That's probably more than you wanted to know, and more than I wanted to say, but you seem to have some interesting things to say so I felt compelled to type something.
And you actually believe that he wouldn't go after mozilla becauase he claimed so? Have any legal document liberating mozilla from a lawsuit? Please, he'll go after everyone possible if it means making more money. He just started with MS because they own the webbrowser market.
That's jitter and latency, not bandwidth. Just because you chose a shitty ISP doesn't mean the bandwidth/capability isn't there. I can tell you "regular videoconferencing" works just fine from one level3 DS3 to another.
So basically what they're saying is the realize they have no value add anymore. "Customers aren't coming to theaters anymore and we can't figure out why so push back those dvd releases even farther!!!"
New flash:
Pushing back dvd releases won't make anymore people go to the theater's, it'll make more pirate
Your 12$ tickets and 10$ popcorn aren't helping the cause. You'd make up for the drop in price by rise in sales... they've yet to figure this out
When I pay 12$ for a damn ticket, I don't expect to watch 20 minutes of commercials. Give me the start time of the movie, or I'm not going to bother.
Maybe spend a little bit more time/money on giving customers what they want, instead of trying to force them to do what you want.
If they actually suspect you it'll be a lot longer than that. What makes you think that they won't "accidentally" *lose track* of you and let the US ship you off to guantanimo?
If they can get him, then they should be able to get a few more of the file swappers.

last I checked apple doesn't do real transparency, they do the same thing linux (without xgl) does, and that's draw the desktop as the background image of the terminal or whatever else you have that's "transparent". If you actually drag it over the top of another window, you still just see the desktop image, not whatever is in the next window down.

The fact you think that Steve personally played a roll in iTunes et al tells me you're in the same boat as grandparent.

If SuSE customers need that, they can move over to Redhat, it obviously doesn't bother the majority of them or they would've jumped ship long ago.

What am I missing here? If they already have that much access to the system, aren't you already screwed?
ummm, that's intereseting, because I know of several embedded systems running redhat 2.4 kernel...
your post was ruined the second you tried to defend two oil barons by claiming they weren't looking out for the oil industry.

he gives far more than would be required to get maximum tax breaks. Back to the drawing board for you my good fellow.
that would be exactly what a capitalist society deems successful. Take a look at their stock if you doubt this.
And you actually believe that he wouldn't go after mozilla becauase he claimed so? Have any legal document liberating mozilla from a lawsuit? Please, he'll go after everyone possible if it means making more money. He just started with MS because they own the webbrowser market.

Ironic and funny all at the same time, as it appears YOU just did.
