    you mean our federal emergency disaster web site can't take the kind of traffic a national disaster would generate? surely you jest.

  3. "best" feature of Solaris 10 on Solaris DTrace To Be Ported to FreeBSD · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What with ZFS and Linux partitions being put off at least until 2006 it might be the *only* feature of Solaris 10 for now. Not to be confused with the "pains" that were added, like insipid way java management console plugins are added/admined, new hiding places for common admin/config files or how general installation is just a pain in the keister. Save yourself some trouble, GNU/Linux passed up Solaris about 2 years ago.

  4. Re:Discuss the DBs anyone? on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: 1

    I use mysql for my web site (freebsd jail with no sys v ipc, so can't use postgresql), data corruption still happens with Innodb occasionally because hosting provider reboots machine about every 30 days. Clustering for postgresql can be had now with proprietary products (see SteelEye product family), and is planned for next 9.x release. But I'd rather troll some more about SCO, they suck so mightily and deeply.

    yeah, I read it: "As part of the agreement, the companies will work together on a range of joint marketing, sales, training, business development and support programs" What are you, McBride's lap boy?

  6. Re:Wouldn't it be funny... on Itanium Will Only Be Partly Supported by Longhorn · · Score: 1

    HP has THREE OS for which they're trying to force sales of Itanium: they are discontinuing PA-RISC for HP/UX, their inherited MIPS machines for NonStop (used to be Tandem), and Alpha for VMS (made the last batch of those last year and soon will stop selling them.

    read biography of David Cutler before saying anything about no VMS influence in NT. As part of master's program at IIT I actually had to do a paper comparing VMS and NT, NT inherited much in the realm of scheduling, interrupt handling, memory management. If your only view of an OS is user interface and high level API then of course they will seem different

    no problem, just shift that holster to the other side where the remaining good foot is. good to go another round.

MySQL stabs the open source commnunity in the back like this, weird things will happen...who is going to be their advocate?

    I agree hunger and thirst would make for deparation, but these problems started before that: what percentage of the attacks on people were motivated by food and water? rape is not, shooting police officers and vehicles is not, robbing/murdering people of money in the restrooms of the convention center is not, looting stereos & luxury cars & such is not. I dare to say the majority of the people doing these horrible things were ALREADY EVIL one week ago, one year ago.

    society and culture determine usage: a dictionary that spends alot of space preaching and teaching its view of how usage ought to be rather than how it is might really be more of a philosophical or moral or religious tome.

    thugs are thugs with or without guns. the same for rapists, if this happened a thousand years ago they'd be using swords, knives, spears and bows. decent people with guns or any other weapon aren't going to rape girls or kill police or steal generators from barely functioning hospitals. this whole thing only shows me why it's wise to keep weapons, but also to be absolutely responsible and rational with their possession and use. My having a gun or a knife is not a threat to any good person and not a threat to police.

    I've written tons of perl 5.x code in my life, it's been a very useful and powerful tool, but five years already since RFCs, and will likely take another five to *design* this new language?

  20. Re:Are they sure that it's urine powered? on Urine Powered Battery Developed · · Score: 1

    no, it's using urine as ammonium source for what pc board fab shops call "etchant replenisher": read all about it. As I said elsewhere, computer hobbyists don't etch their own boards anymore, or they would have recognized one electrode's reactions right off the bat.

    I'm surprised more slashdotters don't recognize one of the ways pc board etching is done: the ammonium ions allow the cuprous compounds to be water soluable. Do a googe for "ammonium copper chloride" and "pc etching" and you can see the wonders of how copper ions can dissolve metallic copper and how ammonium ions one way to keep cu+ in solution. The urine supplies ammonium ions.

    what's sad about not wanting someone else to enslave your mind? religion is about controller others; easier to stand for freedom if your mind is your own, and you respect others' minds as being their own. Most religions of the world are built upon control of mind and body, enslaving pure and simple.
