2010/2/8-18 [Computer/SW/Apps/Media, Computer/SW/Apps] UID:53695 Activity:kinda low | 2/5 I like Adobe Flash. When written correctly, it scales along
with your browser size. It looks consistent on every single
browser. It is predictable. On the other hand, I'm not a big
fan of CSS/HTML, which for the most part, look wildly different
between browsers, and don't even work consistently or
correctly at times. So why do so many people (like Steve Jobs)

What is Larry Ellison thinking? What is he going to do with a bunch of
legacy Sun hardware that no one uses anymore, its fading workstation
customer base, and open source Sun MySQL that doesn't even generate
revenue? I really don't get all this acquisition business.
\_ A lot of big companies still use big, fat Sun hardware. Or use

i'll grant that ruby on rails has excellent tutorials for the mac.

\_ What kind of serious development? If you want to use the standard
OSX ui then your ui code will be pretty much useless elsewhere,
but that's why concepts like MVC are so important. Otherwise

2008/11/29-12/6 [Computer/SW/OS/FreeBSD, Computer/SW/OS/VM] UID:52129 Activity:moderate | 11/29 I'm experimenting with virtualization, and as a poor college student
I'm wondering what the best alternatives for virtualization are, and
how best to cut my teeth on messing with non-linux platforms (or I
guess interesting stuff on Linux would work too). Right now I've got
FreeBSD7 running on KVM on my home computer (on a Core 2 Quad), and am
somewhat at a loss as to how to use it. (More details: bridged

are these days.

run 99.2% Linux servers on the backend. They don't use
Solaris for development. I mean, what does Sun have to

\- back in the solaris say 2.5-2.6 era, it had both some bugs
(some malformed nis maps made it go crazy) and architectural
flaws in the IPC/door+threading mechanism. if you are running
OS-recent, dunno, but you can trace it.
\_ Yeah, I think it's just buggy. I've restarted it, and it seems

2008/3/30-4/6 [Computer/SW/OS/Solaris] UID:49614 Activity:nil | 3/30 Question: I just deleted 60 GB of files from an 80 GB disk. The
disk activity lights were blinking like crazy and I could hear the
drive crunch while the data was deleted. This is under Solaris.
Anyway, I think UNIX uses unlink() when files are deleted. Shouldn't
it just update the free list on the superblock and call it a day?
What is all the crunching about?

2010/4/28-5/10 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:53807 Activity:nil | 4/28 Win 3.1 was more widely adopted than Win 3.0. Win XP (5.1) was more

Microsoft x.0 versions being bad?

are checking things in, could I wind up with a corrupted copy?
\_ sure why not. if you are really cool, your copy of the svn
repo is on LVM, and you snap the LVM to copy it.
\_ It'll seem less cool when you realize you've taken a snapshot
of a block level device, which only guarantees that this set of
