Look... Just think about one moment. Enterprise datacenters. Motherboards with 2 or 4 Dualcore CPU. At least 500W power font per blade server.
Now, a real case. I worked on a oil company datacenter that had a 8.000 blade servers. No place for a stop. Full time heavy calculations (lots of jobs to process - load everytime). Terabytes of data, six robots tape backup. If each one of these servers were equiped with a 500W font, we're talking about 4MWatts just for the servers. You will need two generators to mantain the job flowing.
And don't forget the air conditioning system. Or you're thinking of mantain the datacenter working WITHOUT the air condition system??
Maybe he saw something like "Welcome to #somehost# system. blablabla...". Its a default message... And a system without pass is the worst stupid thing, probably with fully default configurations...
I know, you are right. In my linux life, I met more arrogant than helpfull people. Those people forget that linux doesn't mean perfect and sometimes is dificult to understand the problem. So, some kind of help IS good.:-)
And yes, sure it's better than windows - to avoid flames:-) - but it's far from perfect, like windows.
I think its a matter of find the right people. When I started, Ive a friend that knows linux six months earlier. For me, he was a master. IMHO, the best way to begin is having friends that doesnt know the linux either and then all could learn together. Share the experience.
Those arrogant people dont realize that more people using linux is better, no matter how they understand its internals. So, sometimes is good have some help. The worst is the beginning. A mix of frustrating, irritating, stress and a sense of "so, what this crap do?" Even worse, when linux begins, more people knew what was a dos shell, a CLI etc. Today?! People simply dont know whats a CLI or develop a fear of touching it.
But, on the other hand, we have to consider that, eventually, we may encounter lazy, arrogant people that dont want to learn anything. People like that go to a list and demand a answer. Dont give any information, log, debug, help... nothing.
>... to say nothing of a moving target, a moving source, and a moving relay.
I think its not so dificult... Do you know how a tank works? Its a moving target, moving source and a balistic trajectory... Almost the same problem. Solution? Gyroscope. In a tank, when you lock a target, whatever movement makes the tank, it keep pointed to this target locked.
With laser in a plane or whatever, it's just have to adjust those thing faster and more precise.

See?! And if you need redundancy...
You know... Me too.
Worse than that. Maybe this people are playing some kind of "game" with terrorists. ***This*** is VERY scary!!
Remember!! FREE AS FREEDOM. Free as liberty, right to do whatever we want. Not free as free beer. This is another completely different thing.

Yes. I don't doubt. Because M$ has $ and can pay for a company switch to your servers. Try to do this with open source and voluntary work...

My guess.

That's my point.

Its easier to criticize than correct.
