Was this web page written by evil crackers ? Why is my beloved Mac writing files called/Users/Downloads-1-1, Downloads-1-2 ??? This freaks me out, because I've been told there are NO VIRUSES FOR MAC !!!
Seriously, there is a fresh discussion in Apple forums, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2113155&tstart=0&start=0.
This is a (sad thing) pow 2 : Mac vulnerabilities , coming from Slashdot
Actually RAID1 is quite good for reading data: it minimizes seek time . Of course, it works fine as long as there are not many writes. For example think analytic databases, cubes, etc. Those are not written to in real time (like the more common transactional databases)
I've been using VirtualBox to run some closed source software on my laptop. With WmWare, it barely worked. with VirtualBox, I was even able to make a cluster between the apps between the two virtual OSes (on same laptop), with decent performance. Setting up the network needed some tinkering, but after that it worked like a charm. Great piece of software ! I couldn't care less for the sound and 3D stuff as long as they don't break the core functionality
I remember around year 2000 there was am animated search engine that produced linked "bubbles" , with the diameter representing relevance. I guess it was Teoma (not sure). Anyone else remembers?
Have you noticed the trend: the Novell deal, Zune failure, pushing water uphill with OOXML, refusal by Yahoo, platinum sponsorship for Apache, faking Mojave as a better Vista? Somewhere in between they make a toy research OS and publish it's source code. Fast forward few years, and they'll be running Linux
If you write code under BSD license, you probably get your funding from somewhere else: academic grants, state grants etc. As such, your income is somewhat coverred, therefore you don't care if others make money off the project while you dont.
GPL is the opposite= you do it for free. And you do mind if others make money off your work while you don't. That's why most succesfull GPL projects are dual licensed.
Are you talking about the SSL certificate for "the Pirate Bay"? In that case, yes, it is fully understandable why they can't afford to apply for a proper certificate. And I guess the audience doesn't mind either.
You've got it backwords regarding drivers: hardware vendors sell hardware, and "give away" the drivers so that people can actually use said products. As there will be more Linux users, so there will be incentive for providing drivers. As in Linux there are so many distros, it makes no sense to offer "closed source" drivers. And there are other operating systems which are not Linux, for example the BSD family
Same goes for software: if there will be enough demand, there will be more software for Linux. Even closed source. For example there is Intuit for Mac OS.
But instead of pushing water uphill with those software companies, why don't you look for software that does equivalent things on Linux (open source, or proprietary) ?
In today's car the impact protection comes from the chassy, not from the outer tin-shell. Probably same goes here.
If an object would tear the fabric, maybe you can fix it yourself with two plastures. Just be careful to place them accurately at 90 degrees, so it looks like Tom & Jerry cartoons:-)
Well, Apple makes no longer PPC hardware, and it will support Leopard 10.5 (and Tiger with security updates, 10.4 ) for some time. And they said that Leopard is the last PPC version.
So, what's so unexpected ?
Nice to hear others use MonetDB too! But please please understand, the vertical databases like Monet are not for transaction processing, but for "analytics" = big group by, big joins..

IMO, sacrificing OLTP integrity to satisfy OLAP speed is like taking supports from the first floor to finish the roof. Ideally, there is one database for OLTP where you indeed need all the integrity you can get. And there is the reporting database, which might be replicated, and where speed is important.
If you try to do analytics in your transactional database, something isn't right
I use the web for browsing and VoIP. Rarely I need to download some source code, or distro, or security update for OS. I always pay the lowest ADSL subscription (unlimited). By under-utilizing my net connection, does it mean that I sponsor the bandwidth of others who do..?

Yep : "Slashdot users" versus "Slashdot consumers"

If everything else seems to fail, try these convoluted, big captchas generated based on Graphviz graphs. Link : http://snowflakejoins.com/grapcha/index?text=slashdot

TFA states "and mainframe computer which controls the legs". If it happens to be one of those bigger mainframes, there is hardly any space left to sit ( http://www.webmilhouse.com/wordpress/wp-content/HomeComputer.jpg )
If they repeat this stuff often enough, people will get used to it. Or even believe !
Just look at another M$ news today about some versions of Vista failing to dual-boot: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/30/204241
So, what was that noise about Microsoft being more open?

These are nothing, remember when they stopped using Apache, only to go for IIS ?
And if they run several of these tests over time, their result maybe will also get closer to the truth .. That it's bu#sh#t.

In all other cases it's a big NO NO

Europe is not a country! (There was another post , but it is hidden deep-deep )
does playing with the maps count as RTFA ?
