  1. yup, do like the government and clueless big corps on Transitioning From Small Shop IT To Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    With windows you can run a serious huge enterprise operation just like you run a home computer. with the sames security risks and catastrophies. gigabytes of mission critical and confidential information can float around on your executives laptops, to be stolen or lost and viewed by god knows whom. remember, if a box doesn't have a screen with a mouse and keyboard, it's not a real server. bonus points if a server needs a constant logged in gui screen to get important batch work done.

  2. Re:yup, php is JUST LIKE visual basic on Microsoft Partners With Zend · · Score: 1

    well, I can say similar thing about Fortran I, but that doesn't mean it was a good language or a great thing to learn first. Wish I had run into LISP earlier than the late 80s.

    poorly designed, not powerful, and encouraging bad coding practices.

  5. Re:That's great! on Oracle and Red Hat begin battle for the Enterprise · · Score: 1

    you must be joking, enterprises aren't going to trust a company no one's ever heard of for their technical support. Until the day Oracle lists Ubuntu as a certified os it's a moot point anyway, it's redhat, suse or asianux.

    bad news for you, just the normal accumulation of natural excretions in some women make bad smell in vulva even when perfectly healthy. And certain ethniciies more prone to it than others.

    Pfffft, HP sells AMD based products too, server and desktop. Do you think Dell has some secret way of making them much cheap than HP, or a new plan for better service? Do tell.

  15. Re:Scouts Honor.... on Boy Scouts Introduce Merit Badge For Not Pirating · · Score: 1

    depends on how much the republicans tried to cover it (and some other stuff) up. A certain level of wisecracks seems to make slashdot more fun for alot of us. Now if you want brillant witty insight on MPAA and BSA and other entainment cartels, let's just say the world at large may not tolerate the methods they would like to use to enforce their income stream, and the interference, monopolizing, economic disruption, and preferred-customre-status of the U.S. is getting more and more hated by the rest of the world each minute, and some of our cartels including banking may be in for a serious attitude adjustment.

    My Republican oongressman would like the ym nick of any teen scouts having such badges.

  17. Re:Four words: my rant on Telemarketers Use Emotionally Intelligent Software · · Score: 1

    I have wonderful news for you (NOT!). The telemarketers are now using outsourced call centers that come in under a legit U.S. phone number. And they ignore do-not-call. My cell phone has been getting alot of these the past month. Now I turn in the number to the do-not-call complaint page, and also the fcc's complaint page, but of course they use that data to fill database to be used against bad offenders as manpower allows, and not action on individual complaints. And the other maddening thing is that the major cell phone carriers blocking services won't block out-of-area or "unavailable" or "private" or 800/888 calls. I believe federal law should be made to REQUIRE the ability to block on any pattern in caller ID, including 8xx or whatever the heck else the consumer wants.

  18. game X ruins lives: heard this before on How Warcraft Really Does Wreck Lives · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Heard this kind of nonsense 25 years ago about other games (e.g. dungeons and dragons). The truth is some people have problems between their ears. The problem isn't WarCraft or any other game.

    it's sillier than that, there have been bun cleavage shots in comedy movies on broadcast tv that weren't censored, but apparently anything that might be construed as an erotic situation is taboo. go figure.

    ufs with journalling less durable than ext3? any evidence to back that claim? My experience with hundreds of linux and solaris servers says much the opposite, but I can't point to any study.

  23. Re:FSCK on Ext4 Filesystem Enters Experimental Kernel Tree · · Score: 1

    no, that's not the issue. the fact is there are times when extX is in an inconsistent state, and if you lose power then you WILL have to fsck before mounting is even possible (assuming that the filesytem is recoverable, and there is a finite but small possibility that it is not). If you work with a large enough group of linux servers running ext3 you'll see such problems. rare but not zero probability.

  24. Re:FSCK on Ext4 Filesystem Enters Experimental Kernel Tree · · Score: 1

    I'm talking about when something bad happens and it is REQUIRED before mounting is possible.

    eh, battery operating sets will be digital then. you'll just have to buy another one. and pay sales tax. your retailer, your local government, and the manufacturors don't see any downside to this at all. so get with the program and cough up the dough.
