They are compact (12") and have enough power to do the kind of things kids would need to do in school. OS X crashes less then windows xp, and doesnt have to have a legion of anti-virus software packages installed on it to keep the machine safe.
I dont think they claimed to be the first 64bit desktop, they claimed to tbe the first 64bit PC. PC being that common kind of computer you find under grandma's desk. Those other you mentioned are posititioned as workstations, which are different beasts.
Maybe now they will release a US version of the dvd. I picked up the japanese version when i was in japan in december, but i would love some english special features. The whole second disk is japanese only with no subtitles
Best part of the show is swinging by the sun both and get the latest media kit for free. This year I was able to snag sol9 12/02 sparc and x86 on DVD Who needs (wants?) any of that linux stuff anyway!
I picked up my copy of Spirited Away while in Tokyo. Pretty expensive by american standards at 4,700yen.(with an exchange of about 118yen to 1$ US) It has english subtitles, but it is a region 2 dvd. Thank god for the British and thier remote hacks! Now if only i could figure out how to navigate the second disk...
Just what Solaris needs. Compatability with the linux API-OF-THE-MONTH club. Maybe solaris will get a new IP stack and VM implementaion every few minor versions too. I hear Oracle is going to ditch thier database and start selling MySQL. Wont that be great?
Get real.
solaris 7 is hardly obscure. Most big shops move very very slow. Once something works they stick with it until it doesnt work anymore. Solaris 7 is still VERY common, and so is 2.6 for that matter.
qfe==quad fast ethernet. They make two types of them, an sbus version for older sparcs and early ultrasparcs (up to ultra 2's) and a pci version for later ultras. If you read the docs that come with a solaris media kit you will find that qfe is scheduled for EOL sometime soon.
Actually, i would take a ultra 5 over a blade 100 any day. Ok, maybe not the original incantation of the ultra 5, but the last versions were 400mhz ultrasparc IIi with 2mb of cache. Blade 100's are crappy in comparison with 500mhz ultrasparc IIe's with like 256k of cache. Also, ultra 5's had a upa slot in them (ok, so the card wouldnt fit in the case) so with a little modification you could use any upa framebuffer that fit in a u10. Ultra5's actually end up being pretty sweet if you get a scsi card for them and toss the 5400rpm disk away.
Ok, first off:
IRIX is a mature production level 64bit os. It comes with a 64bit userland, a far cry from linux on 64bit cpus (linux on ultrasparc was 64bit kernel, 32bit userspace which is very lame) Also, on the fs level XFS smokes any of the linux jorunaling filesystems in terms of scalability speed and stability.
Now for that cpu bit:
These are like 3rd generation 64BIT mips cpu's. Well more advanced than anything intel/amd currently offers. Intel is afaik still trying to get thier first-gen 64bit cpu out the door.
Next time, before you badmouth an os/arch make sure you know what your talking about or you come off as a windows fanboy wondering how fast this new box will run a q3a timedemo...
In my server room (AKA my bedroom) I have 2 sun UltraSparc boxes (main desktop and screw around box) 2 athlon boxes over 1gz (file/print/compile box and windows desktop box) and a low end pII (gateway/firewall). In the summer without the AC the temp. is usally equal to whatever it is outside. I have huge fans on the athlon boxes and fans on the drives, so they stay ok internaly. Never had any systems locking up for heat-related problems. With an 8000 btu ac temp is very comfortable, even for sleeping. During the winter the room gets cold, so the computers actually heat the room (no radiator in it) so it works out pretty well. Only downside is the sound of all the computers on at the same time, but after a while you geet used to it. Now, when i am sleeping elsewhere i miss it...

In ports there is this little perl script called rippit.pl. It glues together a cdripper, and encoder and a cdda program. You can even chose which ripper/encoder you want to use. I do tosha and lame.
no residentail down there. Its all commercal. There are some UNi's down there..Pace and BMCC. NYU is a mile or so away, and columbia is way uptown. Hope everything is ok.

Folders? I could have sworn they were called directories. Are you sure you are not running Mac Os 8.6?

BAD MAGIC
oo no! its voodoo!
i dont run linux. Run a *BSD and install ONLY what you want. No more 2gb installs of *crap*
I remember playing a game like that on my parents 286 when i was young. Definitly more educational than the crap thats produced these days.
Sun provides a /dev/random and a /dev/urandom now. Check out Patch 112438-01 for Sparc, or 112439-01 for X86 on sunsolve.sun.com

The docs say enable ip_alias in the kernel. I dont see this option anymore. whats the deal? these options been in place since like 1.3..
