Love the Amazon review,
"My initial inclination is to say that this book is worthless. Given that I spent $35 on it, it's worse that worthless. At around 100 pages in length, the first 40 are dedicated toward understanding what a network is, a general overview of RRD and Cacti and a very poorly written install guide...."
I veiw my Nokia as a dedicated system for browsing my bank and stock accounts. It is cheap enough to set aside for that reason and I am confident that my interactions with these important websites are through a browser/system that has not been hacked.
I worked at Yahoo for a year, in the Media Group. While the departure of Lloyd Braun is a step in the right direction for the Media Group at least, it is not enough to solve Yahoo's problems. The technology leaders at Yahoo, starting with Farzad Nazeem and including others such as Phu Hoang, provide no leadership. There is no organized approach to development, just a bunch of people randomly creating product. The lead technologists think PHP is a good language. Worse than that, the ineptitude of the technical management drives good people out of the company.
And don't get me started about the inane architecture decisions that come out of the hardware review committee.
The thing that bothers me about all these reviews is they fail to mention that the Intel processors need (more expensive) DDR2 memory versus DDR for AMD. If one is going to compare prices of the processors, the cost of the faster memory required by should be included in the price of their processor.
Also note, that when AMD comes out with Socket M2 processors, which support DDR2, then they should benchmark even faster.
Don't install FreeBSD if you want stable 64-bit support. Really don't install FreeBSD if you write in Java and use threads.
Is release 5 stable yet?

Why FreeBSD

· Score: 5, Insightful
I work at a large internet organization that runs thousands of FreeBSD systems. When we need 64-bit though, we switch to Linux because it has a stable 64-bit distribution and FreeBSD does not. I've gone through all the kudo's about FreeBSD being stable, but are you using release 5? and are you using 64-bit? (and don't even get me started about threading support.)

He is saving open source software that he can freely pickup elsewhere? Yeah right, that makes sense. Solid defense there.
