First Look At Solaris 10DTrace, Zones, SMF, decent X86 support..."It is very different. This cannot be repeated enough. If you have ever made the switch from Linux to BSD or the other way, you know how little differences can really make it difficult.

EU Commission Declines Patent Debate RestartThis slashdot thread quickly puts its emphasis on the "real issue":"The right place to petition against software patent would not be the European Parliament, whose advice gets routinely ignored anyway, but the *individual governments of each country*." ...and... The European Council consists of members of the governments of the member states. They are the ones that have to accept this directive proposal for it to become law. There are obviously countries that want the proposal to go through very badly, and some (maybe enough) that don't. The prospect of opposition is why they are afraid to reopen discussion on the proposal inside the Council. 01.03.2005, 21:11 |
