Time will tell on that one I guess. TBH, I'm an idealist - I still have hope Linux will rival the Desktop market at some point. Look how fast Mac OS X got up there, and it's, somewhat, related to Unix/BSD.

I honestly think most well built distro's like Ubuntu are already ready for the Desktop market (i've converted several family members who prefer it over their previous XP or Vista). I just think most people still have pre-conceived notions of Linux being only for geeks.. and other uneducated people spreading either misinformation or outright lies (I don't think the majority of it is malicious, simply uninformed regurgitation of the same lies they were told).

The biggest market Linux is failing to hit, IMHO, is the Gamers. This isn't really "linux"'s fault, as it's perfectly capable of gaming, but gamers don't do games for it. I personally just bought a rather nice Gaming Desktop with an ATI 4890 in it that I use to play Crysis, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, and WoW... and I exclusively use Ubuntu in my house. Including the wife.

So anyway.. in summary: while microsoft retains it's holdings for now.. Open Source technology on all fronts continues to gain popularity and foothold into the market. An explosion to shift the balance could hit tomorrow.. or in 10 years.. no telling when. But until I see the numbers falling and dying out I'll hold onto the Open Source idea.

How can Apache kill IIS? In most professional correspondence I've done with clients Apache was ALWAYS a dumb front end to IIS or some other middle tier. Straight Apache only sites are good for nothing.

With Apache all you can do is PHP/CGI/Perl/maybe Python which all are Mickey Mouse technologies. With IIS, you can have .NET.
Sorry, I think you typoed. I think you meant you're a MISFIT (Master in Science Fiction Information Technology). That's okay, I knew what you meant.

I thought I'd clearly pointed that out by calling his posts flame-bait. It was obvios. Fun stuff.

As 8 bits are smaller than 32 or 64, you will be able to instantly benefit from 400% to 800% increase in bandwidth utilization.
You can't be serious about it. I hope you can calculate how much memory you'd be able to address. Keep working on your ZX Spectrum or C64.

This past year, not everybody had the extra money to spend to help Nokia to make a better product by attending an overseas event. It seemed like Nokia didn't necessarily listen to their engineers and customers anyway, which didn't help.

Oh look, OrangePox is trying to deflect from his mistaken assumption.

The Motorola 65C02 processors could bank-switch up to 16MB of RAM. That's WAY more than enough for ANY user! Also--chip music rocks.

Exactly, why do it at an event? Is it so people have to sign NDAs? If not you could ship prototype N900s to their addresses and find an alternative method to take care of the legalese regarding returning the N900, handling damages, etc..

Thanks to a generous soul here on the boards, they offered me their N900 that they were not going to buy... but yet I couldn't buy it at the time either.

To be honest, I've seen some developer programs for hardware go a bit better than the N900 developer program when that hardware was a significant change than prior iterations or if they wanted more exposure for that forthcoming hardware.

I'll never understand why Nokia chose this path; but I've seen better programs in the past.

Are you sure about them letters? After reading your posts I would have thought BS was in there somewhere.

Don't they require research anymore when pursuing a Masters degree? Do you need to cite the sources of your insight or can you now pretty much make stuff up as you go along?

Dang, I should go back and get a Doctorate in Googleology now or suttin'.

Your first post in this thread was a challenge to everyone else.

After two pages of posts from you responding to other antagonized members I answered you.

You chose to ignore it and made another ill informed statement about servers. This led to another 2 or 3 pages of your responses to even more members. After being shown easily researched contrary information about your statement., you move on and make another challenging statement asking someone to show you a large bank or somesuch using apache.

Union Bank of California

Union Bank of California (UBOC) is the third largest commercial bank in California and among the 35 largest banks in the United States. UBOC is a full-service commercial bank providing a broad mix of financial services. The Bank hired EEI to implement banking and bill payment services to retail and commercial bank customers. EEI's EnterpriseFTX(TM) software is implemented on the IBM AIX platform using IBM Apache Web Servers and WebSphere Application Servers. Clients send XML requests to the Apache Web Servers where EEI software accepts requests and routes them to another layer of EEI software running on WebSphere. These XML requests are routed to bank systems via IBM MQ Series messaging. The system is called Bank@Home.

Here's a thought. Next time why don't YOU post links to support your non sense instead of challenging everybody else to prove you wrong?

... on second thought don't. Some of the non sense is so easy to expose I don't really think anyone, including yourself, take what you post seriously.

After all, it can be downright entertaining watching you move from one inflammatory statement to the next without regard for posts made by others rebutting the previous one.

Rock on dude. Keep us entertained while we wait for the next firmware to roll out.
