your alibi reminds me of the Monty Python Holy Grail:
DINGO: Oh, wicked, bad, naughty, evil Zoot! Oh, she is a naughty person, and she must pay the penalty -- and here in Castle Anthrax, we have but one punishment for setting alight the grail-shaped beacon. You must tie her down on a bed and spank her!
GIRLS: A spanking! A spanking!
Dingo: You must spank her well, and after you are done with her, you may deal with her as you like... and then... spank me!
Girls: And me! And me too! And me!
Dingo: Yes! Yes, you must give us all a good spanking!
Dingo: And after the spanking, the Oral Sex!
Girls: Oral sex! Oral sex!

HP does promote and support (for a fee) Linux on many of its intel, amd and itanium2 servers. Their target market for Linux is enterprise/government Unix(tm) systems migration, not the hobbyist and not the desktop user. Why should they, no big money there. That said, looking for ways to integrate linux code/libraries isn't so much embracing as taking advantage of a larger code base than what their shrinking OS coding teams can produce.
For a living I migrate enterprise Unix apps to Linux. I also use FreeBSD and OpenBSD for my own servers. let's go in reverse order: please point me to Veritas, Hitachi and Polyserv SAN software for enterprise SAN replication, business continuity volumes, backup/archival, multipathing, etc on FreeBSD. For that matter, please show me Hitachi or EMC or HP SAN array with FreeBSD in support matrix. That said, I happen to know Oracle can work on FreeBSD with some rigging, but Oracle won't support it. Also, the advanced Parallel Database Clusters and Real APplication clusters require Linux kernel modules, which I doubt could ever work under FreeBSD.
I agree script complexity it is distribution symptom; almost all distros have it. I'll be sure to check out Slackware's latest approach, thanks for mentioning.
My claims about ext3 and reseifs are from my own personal experience, and I work in datacenters with dozens of Linux servers each. However, if you look at white papers comparing filesystem design of bsd ufs and Linux you will find it is a fact that sometimes ext3 and resierfs are in an inconsistent state at times, fsck is sometimes not possible. I've not had any issues with either XFS on Linux or FreeBSD or OpenBSD UFS. Would be interested to hear of JFS issues.
the *bsd installers all look the same after quite a few years, much more choices and questions which confuse newbies than some of the polished lixus distros, especially with as I mentioned the disks, and also using (freebsd) mini-install to get to a full functional system. I've had relatives and friends call me about bsd installation woes, but not a one of them had any trouble plopping in redhat or mandrake or suse. As for fine-grained locking, I can still make FreeBSD 5.3 on four-way box sieze up with heavy sshd load, for example (one of my favorite pet tests since 5.0).

Why FreeBSD

· Score: 5, Insightful
since I love both, I'll jump right in and give plus and minus to both FreeBSD and your friendly Linux distro of choice:
1. drivers: more devices supported in the Linux world 2. install: bsd install still primative, and disk partitioning is weird especially for novice, and multiple boot can be hard to set up 3. smp - scaling: 5.x freebsd is still having trouble with its spinlocks, and can still sieze up under heavy load (4.x version with giant lock doesn't have this problem). The core issue is that the freebsd folks don't seem to realize releasing locks in the same order they are applied makes things easy, while what they are doing can make trouble. This is why I use 4. in production. 4. filesystem - ext3 and reiserfs can get into inconsistent unrecoverable state, pure and simple. XFS and maybe some other Linux filesystems don't have that problem. 5. Linux GPL great for some things and horrible for others, BSD license ditto. 6. startup scripts easier to understand in BSD, getting pretty hairy in some Linux distros. My favorite commercial distro SuSE and RedHat are really getting tangled. 7. More Enterprise software available (and supported) on Linux, maybe not a big deal unless you're in big SAN environment or absolutely MUST use Oracle and such. I'm betting though you'll see more stuff popping up for Debian and friends now that Debian has bounded back into life.
having done LISP for a living in the past, would add that Ruby generally is alot less typing for the same job when it comes to real world apps and much easier to read/debug. With some of the brightest Rubyists working on letting us mess with the internals of the language, I think it's just a matter of time before Ruby can do those few things LISP does but Ruby doesn't, like metaprogramming with macros and 100% full aspect oriented tricks (we've got like 2/3 of that now)
i was having trouble with hydrogen being the same color as C, Si, etc.....be better to color it half halide and half alkali. I do like neutron/neutronium as zeroeth element, maybe color same as noble gases?
Microsoft's Visual Sewage has held back the development and advancement of the art of software design and programming at least 10 years. It is very difficult to repair the brain of a coder who has been exposed to any form of BASIC, whether visual, dot-net, object or other.

results of such an attack are unknown, consider all the electronics under metal or conductive roofs, inside metal vehicles, underground, and inside shielded conductors. Condsider attenuation points such as power transformers in the power grid. One thing is the emp from a "normal" weapon, energy spread to 30KHz. Another would be from weapons *designed* to make emp, in microwave region. They would cripple us to unknown extent but get certain total destruction in return. Not a good plan for history's longest practicing empire-builders.
I don't see it, they could maybe take out most of four to five of our largest metro areas, while the U.S. retaliation would be a hailstorm of one to two thousand weapons.... Heck, I feel sorry for most of the Asian continent and half the pacific island countries in that scenario, thyroid and other cancer rates would skyrocket.
just the mafia? you'll be delighted to know that the U.S. Government also shoots people to protect their market and those of its corporate sponsors, Product liability has been waived for a number of incidents and accidents which have killed, maimed, brain-damaged, infected and irradiated tens of thousands its own citizens over the years. Also, there are places where gambling, prostitution, and the production of alchohol is legal, as long as the government gets its cut.
too many windows distros out there, I recently had to test my code, an automatic archival system, for a client on freaking 98se, NT 4, win 2000 pro and server, ME, XP and 2003. I mean like dang, that's over 7 distros in as many years. And once a version of windows gets popular, it seems to be hated as every script kiddie and cracker in the world targets it, I think the Windows community has an underdog complex.
not to mention how many space aliens either speak or understand english, and how humans seem to have undo influence over everything. Not to mention no one seems to mind all those starships getting so close to inhabited planets, since they are all fearsome potential kinetic energy weapons in the event of the slightest malfunction or pilot error
that's down from 19 sites a year ago, so the numbers are in and Netcraft has confirmed, OS/2 is dying proof here I'm sad, I did Pascal and Foxpro development on OS/2 for construction estimating and scheduling.
Hi TTK, cool web pages you have there. I've made an algorithm that takes advantage of the way websites grow, self-reference, and prune over time, crawling a couple archives now to see if it's worthy or worthless. Anyway, tonight I'm off to SE asia for a few months and will be out of email reach probably.

there's a comercial where Shatner does rap, it's even worse than his singing.
naw, I dismiss it because I don't like the sound of it. I don't give a crap about whether it's art or not, or if it has insightful message or not.
what's funny is the my home communication download speed has kept up with processor speed: my 10MHz 80286 at clone had 2400 baud modem, and my 1.5 GH Xeon gets 3.5Mbit downloads...1500 times faster.
one more kind of rap music to hate. here's two quarters, kid, get yourself a melody & some harmony.

you don't have to boot from stick using lower port every time, could put the floppy into the top slot
you scared me because I thought your post was a reply to the "seven inch singles" comment, and thus thought Jenna was actually a Chick with a Stick
