The original comment was correct and you are both wrong. For Oracle 9i, only SuSE is supported.
Also the idea of Oracle buying SuSE does make some sense. Oracle has seriously chopped down the number of future supported platforms and Linux/Intel is one of them.
MySQL is not exactly a high-end database. Putting it on a quad-ANYTHING is a waste of hardware. And don't forget about MySQL's poor locking techniques...
Hmm, THAT would explain why this sorry ass of a question got posted. However, since the editors don't like to correct mistakes in the submissions, I doubt they would add links in the submitted text. That would not be right.
Bullshit. Starbridge was clearly mentioned last time. And FWIW, I believe they have a regular computer (with CPU, of course) acting as a FEP. So the FPGA system is like a co-processor board.
Sure, smaller is better but smaller is also more expensive. Your requirements seem to add up to a rather expensive package. I don't think Ask Slashdot is going to be much help here...
The patent is specific in what it claims. For prior art, you need to prove that something already existing worked exactly the same way.
Then you need a lot of money to fight it. Apple has plenty. Have fun.
Plus, Apple changes its mind all the time. This is from 1998, and may have to due with the themes they never really used in Mac OS 9. You're reading way too much into it when you bring up Whistler.
You don't have to start a transaction in Oracle. Of course then it might undo more than you expected, but I'd say that's better than restoring from a backup.
Their servers look interesting, but I've heard of quality issues, and there is no way I'm going to buy one now, wondering if the company will outlast the warranty...
And taco admitted that slashdot isn't perfect! At least that is one interpretation. Since the grammar is so bad, it's kind of hard to tell what he means...
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!

OS X on x86?

I am so tired of people who know nothing about the subject trying to push this. It's not good for Apple and it's not good for Apple's customers.
A) Apple is a hardware company! The software is a loss leader to sell the hardware! Take away the hardware and there is no Apple left!
B) Endian issues, different chips, different chipsets, different devices, lack of Altivec SIMD. Binary compatibility is impossible.
C) There is no such thing as an 'X86 app'. Every app is written for one or more OSes on one or more (similar) hardware platforms. Windows Apps would not work on it. Mac OS (PowerPC) apps would not work on it. Apps written for it would not work under Windows or Linux or BSD or ANYTHING! Why would anyone use it?
Well duh, it couldn't be that big if it were on the front of the box...
I think they do that with all of their rack systems.

1. make sure Java is really set to use the memory (yes, I read your reply about lilo.conf). Check the -Xms and -Xmx VM options.
2. Is JIT on?
3. Use an in-process servlet engine/webserver like Resin (www.caucho.com). Every out-of-process SE that I know of uses a socket to send the request from Apache to the SE.
4. caucho.com also has a mysql driver that they say is faster.
5. Optimize the code, simplify, reduce object allocation, etc. Java is not slow if used properly, but that takes work.

The problem is that you put the linux stories in the linux section. That would make sense for any other website, but this is slashdot and linux stories go ON THE FRONT PAGE!! WOOHOO!! GO LINUX GO!!

Oops, I meant that Linux/Intel is one that is still supported.

Iomega is a has-been. Get a portable Firewire drive.

Slashdot's idea of an April fools joke... one inane story after another with no links...

Are you one of the clueless morons who emailed Michael? Try reading all of the words, in order!

Heh, and he thought unaligned access was rough when it was slow... how about when it doesn't work, period? (odd addresses on MC68000)

FireWire was based on SCSI-3, but never had anything to do with FC.
Can't you read!? Oh, that's what you were saying... sorry.

taco should indicate his position whenever he comments on a stock. He at least used to own CORL.
and more reliable. bind 8 on linux sucked rocks, dumped core all of the time. djbdns/tinydns is great.
