> Microsoft's server product(along with its related tools and products) is massively successful. The Internet darlings may not run Windows Server, but many, many companies do.

Yes, and Linux as a server is massively successful. And the internet darlings are one of the biggest customers. If a machine can't boot linux because of the signed kernel requirements enforced at the firmware, those internet darlings would move to machines that can. That isn't a risk intel el al. are going to take, especially with AMD breathing down its back.

I hack and I'm actively involved in MMA. It's a rare combo, but I like the way it is so completely opposite to hacking. With hacking, a lot of time goes into the thought process. With MMA, you don't have time for thinking, it's all about training your reflexes. I also like the way there are a lot of physics involved: leveraging, momentum, et al.

The sport has a bit of a knuckelhead image to it, but the guys I train with vary from construction workers to sales/IT guys. We all have to show up at our jobs tomorrow, so we don't beat the crap out of each other, although things can get pretty tough sometimes...
I'm very into sports as well, in particular soccer and bboying/tricking.
its not as open as community projects, but it is still open source. this is the sort of attitude that makes companies turn away from community development: the. sense of entitlement users get.

they develop a great system, give it away for free, and publish the source. isn't that enough, do they really need to follow your preferred development pattern too?

if you want to evangelize software freedom, how about commending Google for being as open as they are, and criticising the sellers of totally closed systems.

I doubt non-blocking anything has guaranteed delivery on localhost if you don't account for full buffers.
As long as there is a buffer, sure, why would UDP lose packets on localhost?

In order to not block your program, you'll have to do it like one always has with non-blocking sockets: have a buffer and poll for the "write-able" event.

Unix sockets would involve less overhead and provide more security if you only send to localhost.
I really don't see a reason to use UDP on localhost at least if you are not running on Windows.
IPads win over other tablets (IDC)
IDC state that tablets are growing over 300% (yoy, in Q2 '11)
and that iPad market share increased from 65.7 to 68 .3 percent...
This is overblown. However, if this means secure boot hardware is even more widely available, it is a win -- if the keys are under control of the user or his organization, it is a huge security win.
My point is that it is culture that affects happiness, not merely internal or material well being.

So taking into account cultural variations is meaningless when what I'm interested in measuring is the end result.
> This is the problem with getting tech news only from HN.

Most of us have worked one or more tech jobs, and HN isn't the source for the assumption that nobody uses Windows as servers. That nobody is far fetched - of course .net shops will most probably be deploying on Windows; for some reasons most of the Java shop do so as well.

But outside that, Linux or BSD is the favored deployment platform. And the OP's argument basically boils down to server vendors can't afford to not boot Linux, not when Linux has a significant market share.

I have never used Windows servers, and I am curious how do you do things which are obvious on Linux on a windows server?

1. Can SQL server deployment be automated? I remember reading somewhere it is mostly GUI administration, though things might have changed with WMI.

2. How do you manage IIS? Say you need to restart IIS on 200+ servers?

3. What is the remote model? Windows doesn't have a decent command line, so ssh will be weird.

Do you write custom code for all this, because I find the ecosystem on Windows sorely lacking.
Does this also mean that you won't be able to boot Windows 8 on a PC you assembled yourself? Oh, they did not think of that.

One more reason to hate MS and want it die everywhere.

The total costs of operation would be much greater than HW Investment + HW Operation (Power, Space, Cooling). Especially initial setup costs and maintenance costs are a big dent; other humongous cost drivers are high availability, etc.

The cluster, announced publicly this week, was created for an unnamed “Top 5 Pharma” customer, and ran for about seven hours at the end of July at a peak cost of $1,279 per hour, including the fees to Amazon and Cycle Computing

Given that the article states that the entire system only ran for about 7 hours, I assume that it was one of those ideal use cases for cloud computing. So the benefit of having a disposable system adds value that is also missing in the napkin calculation. Sure, if you ran the 30k-core cluster for eternity, you might as well build your own data center. But for this case, the comparative cost analysis seems a bit pointless.

One more small nitpick: the $1279 you extrapolated from in your calculation was the peak cost, not the average cost.
Flea-Bombs
I've tried rubymine, and yes the integration with tests is really good. It's really fast when working with tests: run a test and point and click to the source where it fails from the stacktraces. I used it for a big refactoration of a rails app that would have taken longer time otherwise.

I switched to vim though because of some reasons (I was previously an emacs user).

1. less resource intensive (I had to upgrade to an SSD to even run RubyMine on my late 2008 (then top of the line) macbook pro. Running any command in VIM is almost instant, I never have to wait and I hate having to wait for the machine to do something. I even run the terminal in non-anti-alias because I like a 9pt monaco and that it's significantly faster than using an anti-aliased font. mrxvt is even faster, it's crazy fast scrolling through a large logfile, but then I occasionally have to copy and paste and doing that in OSX X11 sucks.

2. I want to use the mouse as little as possible (you cant get this with an IDE)

3. RubyMine could not understand all ruby code so the autocomplete stuff is for me less useful than in vim, where it's super-fast.

4. Less abstraction when working with code. If I really needed an IDE, I'd rather code in smalltalk where the runtime is the IDE.

5. Like having an almost stock editor running so that it's easy to stay productive on any computer.

A great tip that I gathered from http://http://peepcode.com/products/play-by-play-bernhardt is to map your current test to a key:

:map ,t :!ruby -I test test/functional/foo_test.rb -n test_whatever<CR>

It's even better when not in a rails project so the whole stack doesn't have to spin up. Boom! instant test result after a couple of seconds.

I've also mapped ,m to NerdTreeToggle, works fine and it remembers the state of the project file.
This makes no sense. If my tax rate goes up, why would I work less? All other things considered equal, getting taxed more and working less is a double-whammy. If anything I think I would work more.
Where do you see the requirement that the kernel has to be signed? I only see them mentioning the boot loader, which should be something entirely different (both on Windows and Linux, as far as I'm aware. I admit that my knowledge about the Windows boot process is incomplete).

If I'm correct (?) your whole reply to that point was a bit over the top, especially the 'tell me where you work so that I can ignore you' part.

Edit: Reading the original source (I recommend it!) confuses me. It says 'unsigned binaries will not load', but still: I'm still reading that as 'will not be loaded by the UEFI firmware' - which should only need to load the bootloader (+ relevant drivers) as far as I understand it?

- As already pointed out, only FTP had a 'rush poker', it although popular it was still a very insignificant part of the poker market.

- 'Rakeback' refers to the amount of money returned to the players, not to affiliates. FTP had fixed RB at 27%. An affiliate may make a % point or two. Stars returns from 10-60% of rake to the player through their VIP system

I am not a businessman and have no experience in the area, but a couple of things come to mind.

The white-label requirement suggests that they want to put their own name on it which suggests they will become a competitor to your company, or they see a market for it that your company does not. Perhaps your company should charge per user and/or per copy shipped in addition to the basic rate.

Charging an annual rate may not work if they use it internally. They could tell you that they are going with another product and keep using yours without telling you. You could start with the expectation that they will replace it in 3 or 4 years and make the contract for so many years.

If they want new features or configuration assistance, your company already has the experts and can bill them heavily for the work. Your company might end up using them as a continuing source of revenue in this way. They might also recruit your developers.

The software has different values: what it is worth to produce, what it is worth to a company to have it, and what that company thinks it is worth. If they are smart, #3 is close to #2 and that is the number you have to bid towards. It is worth more to the other company to have working software immediately than to wait a year developing the software itself. To repeat old advice, start with a high bid that is more than you expect to get and allow the other side to negotiate downwards.

You will be expected to supply good documentation and to fix any glaring bugs in the product, so finishing the sale may incur a $10k-$20k cost.

Whatever you get for it is a revenue that you did not have before. As long as it does not hurt your business for the other company to have the software, that should be a good thing.

If this one company wants the software, there might be other companies that want the software.

Get advice from someone more knowledgeable before following any of mine.

Suppose your marginal utility from an hour of leisure is 1.0, and your marginal take home income is $100/hour (yielding 1.1 units of utility).

In this situation you choose to work, since this maximizes your utility (1.1 > 1.0).

Now suppose tax hikes reduce your marginal take home income to $80, which only yields you 0.9 units of utility. Now you choose leisure, since 1.0 > 0.9.

Macro Photography Techniques
Macro means mega or very large. Macro photography means shooting large photos. It does not mean that the size of your photo has to be large but it means that the subject in the photograph has to be large. In short, taking close up photos of the subject is referred to as macro photography. It may sound simple. But specified techniques and tips are required to master in this field. We discuss below the various tips and techniques for the same.
Mini DV camera spy
Nope not really, I read a lot of books. I can remember one day buying Red Dwarf:Better Than Life, and finishing it overnight and maybe getting an hour or twos sleep.

I grew up in a rural community and wasn't really interested in TV or technology really. I didn't even learn to program till was I was 22 (only after I had serious sporting accident where I had broken arms and legs and had to drop out of art school). Although I'll admit I did learn to write BASIC on school computers when I was 10 or so, just seemed to be a natural at programming.

I've had assorts of weird sleeps things over the years, for ages I had night terrors but they seem to have gone away and been replaced with a suffocation effect. I'll wake up gasping for breathe in the middle of the night now. The night terrors went away as soon as I understood what was going on, I guess the suffocation maybe related but without the panic aspects.

I'm sorry but this is a load of tripe. I consider myself a success and I have many successful friends as well. Some work for corporations, some run their own businesses. Everyone complains about taxes. NO ONE WORKS LESS SO THEY PAY LESS TAXES. NO ONE IS DEMOTIVATED FROM SUCCEEDING BECAUSE THEY PAY MORE TAXES.

"These decisions are invisible ... ", no, they are non-existent. People who want to work less to pay less taxes must be idiotic by nature because that's a zero-gain move.

To clarify a couple of points raised through the comments thread.

- According to the DOJ, prior to black friday, FT had $60m in the bank and owed $390m to players. Shortly after black friday, in June this figure was $6m.

- There are two main reasons for this - one is the exorbitant payouts - over $440m was paid out to FT partners who held equity in the company - that were taken from players funds. Named are 4 people, Bitar, Lederer, Ferguson and Furst. The DOJ alleges almost $120m was paid out to these 4 alone, and Ferguson is 'owed' another $60m in dividend payments.

- However, unnamed are many others who also received payouts; the DOJ claims FT - even when they knew they were insolvent - "continued making payments of approximately $10 million per month" up until April.

- Furthermore, they were making sizeable loans to their roster of professionals with players funds. One mention of "Player Owner 1" almost certainly refers to Phil Ivey.

- Finally, they were basically fronting US players millions - the DOJ alleges $120m in total - because they were unable to process deposits.

- The reason this is nothing like a bank investing a customers money and why the DOJ is alleging this is "fraud" and a "ponzi scheme" (nb there is nothing in the amended complaint that suggests charges of a ponzi scheme; but it did come from Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District in a statement) is because the money was not invested; it was used for dividend payments. Meanwhile, FTP was publicly claiming their players funds were maintained separately to operating accounts, deceiving players.

- This really has nothing to do with affiliates "taking money out of the system."

Why is a 1080p monitor for 1995 "amazing"? It was quite common for 21" monitors to be 1600x1200 and 1920x1080 isn't a giant leap from that. I picked up a cheap 21" CRT capable of 1600x1200 in the late 90s and I'm no John Carmack.

I think it's because that sounds amazing to average consumers, who were lucky to have 1024x768 on a dot pitch better than 0.28, but why is this on geek.com? Shouldn't most of their readers remember having large, heavy monitors in the 90s? Really makes me wonder what Matthew Humphries (author of that story) was using in 1995.

CRTs weren't like LCDs, the image didn't push off the side if you pushed the resolution too far, you could pretty much push them as far as they could go until you couldn't read it anymore or until it became all vertical lines. Ah, the good ole days...
Of course getting hard data in economics is close to impossible since you can't run controlled experiments. The closest you can get is looking at historical data such as comparing what happened after Clinton's 93 tax increase and after Bush's 01 and 03 tax cuts. Or comparing similar countries with different tax rates. But there are just too many variables to really isolate the data and reach a firm conclusion. I do remember reading about some economist's study that tried to look at the data and came to the semi-conclusion that it doesn't seem that tax rates have much an effect on GDP at all (sorry I can't find source right now).
