The entire point of my post was to point out that they had said "The Zend Core commercially supported form of PHP" which brought me to decide to comment on it, as well as point out their obscure pricing practices for other products. "Per CPU"? Who the fuck charges like that?... that and this was like 14 hours before you decided to comment. It's done, it's over, go home everybody!
Just kidding. Seriously, though, it said "commercially supported form of PHP". Be sure to take a big mental note of that. Commercial == fee's. Based on Zends track record of charging for things, it's not going to be cheap for single developers... I have a feeling it'll be in the area of $800-$1500 per CPU or something silly like that... in which case, why not just use a UNIX/derivative?
I've been planning the initial works to convert my car ('91 Chrysler Daytona) to an Electric Plug-in.
My (tentative) plan is to use a hybrid Battery/UltraCapacitor design for "burstable" speed where batteries are lacking.
Perhaps if this new design works its way out into the wild, I will opt for a pure ultra-capacitor design? I doubt it, but it certainly would be cool. Recharge times would be very, very fast.
Well, the article is skimping on details, but does anybody know where I can find more info on the power consumption?
I doubt it's anywhere comparable to ARM... speaking of ARM. Anybody know where I can get a small ARM based board? I've been searching and searching, can't seem to find anything that isn't mass-order.
You use 'eh?' pretty much when you please. "How's it going, eh?" is a prime example.
I pronounce schedule as "skedual." Others in the area pronounce it as "shedule." Both are widely accepted.
As for the Hockey vs Football remark, I'm not sure. Considering the two dollars are pretty close at the moment, I'd have to say that would be a pretty good metric to go on.
I have a legitimate Windows XP install on a MacBook Pro, using BootCamp. First due to a few install issues I ended up having to activate it three times and for the final, but successful install, had to call Microsoft. Later on I decided I would use Windows with the help of Parallels, but found the even if I was using the same install, it required me to activate it again.
About a year ago my girlfriend and I realized we could not share a computer (I do web design for a living) so she decided to go out and find a computer for herself. She ended up buying a Mac mini to give OSX a try. I figured it would be great for me to have around to test web pages out in Safari so we ordered one.
After about a week of waiting for it to come, it finally came. We had the desk and monitor setup and ready for it. It's a Mac. We were both excited to boot into OSX and behold the beautiful interface.
After about two weeks, we realized that's all it is. A beautiful interface. That weekend we backed up her (very little) data and wiped it clean. We installed OSX on a 10GB (maybe 15GB... can`t remember) partition to keep Safari around. We installed rEFIt, popped in a Gentoo Install CD and rebooted into that. I spent the afternoon and installed Gentoo to a similar setup as my system.
Needless to say, OSX hasn`t been booted up in quite some time. I setup VMware and installed my old copy of XP Pro for those absolutely one-off times she needs XP.
I, personally, have just given up VMware as Photoshop CS2 finally works decently under WINE. There are a couple quirks at the moment, but I am sure they will get hammered out over the next couple of months.
... I know this was meant to be a joke, but I just have to respond.
I don't understand this "uncrackable" part. OpenSSH is on the livecd. Most admins ssh into the box to set it up... leaving ssh open to all. On the current live CD, OpenSSH is pretty old.
I recently installed Gentoo on my new AMD64 X2 5200+ (65nm/65W). Took about 3-3.5 hours to: partition, install the base, install grub, compile a kernel(took about 3 mins for the kernel, another 10 for modules), boot into new install, upgrade portage & all base apps, and compile X and XFCE.
Sadly, that is closing in on the time it takes to install Vista...;-)

Sadly, I was hoping that you were going to link to this kind of bunny.

That link was in reference to the pricing scheme by charging per CPU being silly.
I had assumed that was the point.
To bring decent-end graphics to the mass consumer market to run Vista's Aero Glass & Friends as well as some games.
I feel this (in it's current state) is more a shove at Intel's GMA graphics processors than anything.
... like Ruby on Rails?

I use Gentoo and compile with the -Os flag (most people use -O2 or maybe -O1). It really does seem to make a difference.
FF2 latest version is only slightly more snappy on my new Athlon64 X2 5200+ vs. my old Athlon XP 2500+.
... they use much more than a small ARM based system. The best ITX board I can find is the AMD based ones which are about 5W.
Arm is generally under 1W.

I'm not sure about where you live, but here there are trucks with Oxy/Acetylene tanks for welding poorly chained to something in the back.
I have never once heard of an accident involving a tank being ruptured in my area.
Dunno if that would wreak as much havoc as a missile launcher would.
;-)
Really?
...
'My Computer' -> 'Help' menu item -> 'About Windows'
Says it is Version 6.0
... and I don't know if you noticed, I said that was the _Commercial_ rate. Residential is lower.
Yes... but a rather large portion of Saskatchewan's electricity is Wind or Water generated. :-)
Haha.

Come put one in Saskatchewan. It would benefit our economy and our (commercial) power rate is 0.0845-ish per kWh.
Ahh... Sorry about that. For some reason I had believed it supported BD+ as well.
:-)
I was misinformed or made it up in my head, I guess.
Almost a year ago.
... to rule them all!
Sorry, just had to.
Seriously, < insert boring old lame DRM quote here >

I got this one. Dunno if anyone else will.

Good movie.

Damn I feel old.

Microsoft will remain the same, however Yahoo! products will probably be tagged "Yahoo! a Microsoft company." or "${PRODUCT} by Microsoft"
Wow... totally clicked on 'reply' for the wrong topic!
:-)
How? I'm not sure.
