I wonder how the inventors came to the conclusion that those bubbles are really non-toxic. As a parent I would be very careful with that. My kids love to eat bubble solution and who knows what harm those newly created molecules could do.
Well, ZFS used to be part of a pre-release of Solaris 10 but Sun pulled it because it needed more work. They just put it back into Express and now into OpenSolaris. I assume it will be part of the next quarterly release of Solaris 10 or part of the expected Update 1 release.
With modern GUIs that need a shite-load of processing power it does make enormous sense to welcome dual processor platforms into your desktop. Pretty much every architecture sans PCs tend to offer dual-proc systems starting with their mid-level offerings (Apple and Sun, for example).
I personally love my dual Opteron Sun desktop running Solaris 10. Perfect little thing to have on your desk.
That's not my experience. After the update was installed I rebooted and did not experience a longer startup time. That's on dual 2GHz PowerMac. I read so many frightening stories about this update that I enabled verbose booting (Cmd-V) but nothing happened. At all.
Well, if you want to call the two newspapers liars, here are some more web sites you might want to visit. You'll find contact information you can use to inquire:
No, this is real. I used to work for Waibel's department in Karlsruhe almost a decade ago and back then they were already onto great things. I am not suprised who far they've come along.
Tanenbaum has now overcome a 15 year old mistake, but it's far too late to make a difference.
What the hey are you talking about? Minix is still a very popular operating system for teaching OS design principles. Why would you ever get the idea that Minix is supposed to be a Linux/UNIX/Windows/whatever killer? It was never designed to be anything bigger than an academic excercise. Never. Period.
IPv6 does not require DHCP at all anymore. Current standards use the MAC address of the network interface to create the IPv6 address for it. Auto-configuration of IPv6 is the recommended way to run IPv6 networks.
Let's forget once and for all about binary compatibility. Bury it. Because it does not really benefit most people. There is one very well-known operating system which implements as near full binary compatibility as you can get -- and it's generally regarded as a disaster.
Hmmm.... there is a reason why Sun, for example, kept their OS binary compatible with every earlier release. They still make sure that ancient BSD (SunOS 4.x)-based software still runs on Solaris 10.
Does anybody really think that those incompatibilities are introduced on purpose to fight piracy? It's just a consequence of being a developer preview release. APIs and everything will constantly change until Apple eventually releases production versions of Mac OS X on Intel.
Where have you been? All Intel/AMD products by Sun have been capable of running Windows from day one on. They even offer technical support for Windows now.
I think it is funny how the e-mail he sent does not compare at all to what he said about the phone call has with that Microsoft dude. I assume it was something like that:
ESR: I think somebody was playing a joke on your expense.
CM: I am sorry about that.
ESR: I will follow up with an e-mail.
CM: Okay, thanks.
And then he took his sweet time to write a response in form of an e-mail. I would have been much more impressed if ESR was like that on the phone with CM.
DTrace alone is a major reason why I am going to upgrade my production environment to Solaris 10 in the near future. DTrace takes most guessing work out of the trouble shooting process. All you need is to figure out what probes to use and with some programming and Kernel internals knowledge you can pinpoint your problem within moments.
Features like the new SMF (aka launchd on Mac OS X) are a little turn-off IMHO, because it introduces XML and a full-blown database instance to something simple as the start-up process. I understand the advantages but it is going to be a new learning curve for seasoned Solaris admins.
That said Solaris 10 is almost as important for Sun and will have big impact as Solaris 2.0 had when it replaced SunOS 4.x. Solaris 7 was also a very important milestone in Solaris's history.

Yes, this is correct. Kerberos is only as secure as your KDCs. The developers of Kerberos did not make a secret out of this, though. That said, Kerberos makes a lot of sense in some environments and not so much in others. You always have to choose the best tool for the job.
Amazon is charging the usual $3.99 for the entire order. That's a bargain all by itself, no? It ships within one and three weeks and will be fulfilled by Borders.
And once you are married you will spend at least the same or even a bigger amount of money when your wife gets pregnant and after the kid is born. Most businesses that cater to weddings, pregnancy, and baby/toddlers are the biggest rip-offs ever.
Yup. I have the exact same noise coming from the area where the right hand speaker is. It's a spanking new 1.67GHz 15" Powerbook and I guess I am going to bring it to the Apple Store for inspection. It doesn't happen right away and usually only when I am playing The Sims.

Check out the demo, too. We live in exciting times!

You can probably also search the university library and search for the dissertations and theses that were result of this project.

Sun is also heavily deployed in academia and research. Not for number crunching etc. but for infrastructure and back office type of services.
And just yesterday they painted Song airline's URL into the sky in circles. What a waste of money.

Sun also offers full technical support for Microsoft Windows on their hardware. See this for more info.

Don't forget SMF, Zones, the new TCP/IP stack ("FireEngine"), NFS v4, SCF, Least Privileges, WAN Boot, and IPQos.

Doesn't this read like a Kafka story? It reminds me of Kafka's The Castle.
I believe they already offer real E911 in one US state and are going to add many more very soon. Here is a link to the press release.
