    UNIX devs still want to use the slide rule and think they are creative. While Windows devs go to the next level and use calculator and create lot more stuff.

  7. Oho Larry , please leave me alone!!! on Oracle and MySQL -- Good Move or Bad Bet? · · Score: 1

    Larry, didn't ya hear what Bill said "If the next three persons in line are deal makers, you end up buying companies and if they are developers you develop millions of lines of code". Hey, deal maker get the hella outta of here.
    With the recently announced purchase of Innobase, Oracle has shown it's intention to further support open source
    Open source software companies can be bought ? This makes the line thinner between Microsoft and OSS movement.
    So can Linux Trovalds & lead developers change their mind and decide to sell the Kernel ?
    OSS has some serious problems, I better start looking at the Redmond company.

  8. Re:In desktops, sure - but what about laptops? on AMD Tops Intel in U.S. Retail Sales · · Score: 1

    Laptops are huge - desktop markets have plateaued, but the number of laptops sold, and their portion of the entire market for personal computers, is growing constantly.
    Desktop market will transform itself into "Home Theater PC" market in the coming years. Also their will be an opportunity in server market and almost all geeks like to run Linux on AMD64. Linux on servers is growing not shrinking and I expect an advantage for AMD here.
    The day I am waiting to see is $40/Month for my internet 3.0Megs(Download)/768(Upload) and geeks(include students) hosting their own web-servcies(include gaming,music, etc.) from home/office. (I mean Millions of folks running this way)
    The need of the hour is to take this combination to the last mile. Also we need easy configurable products running just like many of the hosting providers are offering(Bulletin Boards, Blogs, etc...).
    Bottomline, super fast broadband, cheap and best hardware, Free and stable OS, and creators around the world developing applications will bring to light innovative products and services never seen before.

  9. Re:Dell's disservice to its customers on AMD Tops Intel in U.S. Retail Sales · · Score: 1

    Yes we should do something about this. I have written to DELL so many times but they never bothered to reply. Maybe we should start shooting e-mails with requests or start a petitionline ?
    If I could hack, I would go and change their homepage with "We are proud to be with AMD" LOL
    Throw your suggestions and count on me for some contribution.

  10. AMD Rocks - We need more AMDs and fair market!! on AMD Tops Intel in U.S. Retail Sales · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have personally done benchmarking of some compilers on AMD64s. I can't reveal the results but the bottomline, AMD's performance was far better than Intels. It Rocks!
    I think it was a pain even at Microsoft to port their software to Intels Itanium. They have said that support for it will be limited in Longhorn. Regarding Media Center, I think Dave first ported to AMD64 and Acer was marketing the combination.
    Their are some serious issues with Intel and not many liked it including Linus Trovalds and he blasted INTEL in one of his e-mails for not giving credit to AMD.(Dig through Kernel archive)
    I like free market and competition. It was the WinTel lobby but these suckers somehow managed to escape from slashdoters, I am glad they are now losing.

  14. No Licensing/PM, Most students want to DEVELOP! on What Makes an OSS Class Work? · · Score: 1

    If I were to enroll in your class, I would hate to see you talk about licensing and PM stuff. Its for empty personalities, like Program Managers. As a student I would be more interested in being a developer on Open Source Technology. Split the class depending on their interests.
    Open Source OS Development and Deployment - Develop a OS module for Linux/BSD and test it out.(Building OS is not so easy, took couple of days for me) Any one can install, set some high expectations like they implement a Cluster or something......

    Web Programming LAMP is a Must. Let them Build whatever they want.
    Get them involved with Open Source projects and teach them how the development process works.
    Once again NO Licensing and PM stuff, pleaseeeeeeeee.

    No. I don't agree. Look deeper. Eric is a matured man. He is not making the mistakes which M$ did. Bill / Stever never cared to lobby at WA until the anti-trust case. Eric is smart enough to open an office in DC to lobby.
    People are already hating GOOG. I don't care as long as I see innovation and technocrats being respected not asshole salesmen.

    Honestly, M$ is slow to adapt. I spoke to couple of guys and they told how the bureaucreacy supressed cool ideas and not to mention the fact they have a salesman heading the company not a experienced geek who holds a P.hd and contributed to the first lex @ AT&T.

    The real problem is Microsoft has made us think in certain expected way. NO. NO. Where their is GOOG/SUN/APPL their is innovation. What technology they use, how they do, it's their problem.
