Oracle Pushes Linux -- Full Force

Name: Anonymous 2010-04-11 7:10

Having paid a royal sum for Sun, one might expect Oracle to be a major Unix promoter. Yet apparently that's not the case.

Based on Oracle's recent actions, it seems the company is hell-bent on driving as many of its potential customers as possible away from the UNIX offerings it acquired from Sun and into the arms of Red Hat and other enterprise Linux vendors.

I've talked before about how UNIX is a sinking ship as increasing numbers of workloads are moved off the operating system and onto Linux. This should not be surprising: Linux can handle increasingly "high-end" workloads, and it can run on far lower cost hardware. Running Red Hat Enterprise Linux on standard Intel hardware can end up being 90 percent less expensive than running Solaris on SPARC machines, not to mention three times faster.

Nice job linking to another cut and paste summary instead of the real content. Also can we stop with the "here's a link to an article" shit? This isn't Reddit.

I don't see a problem with it, as long as the article is interesting and highly /prog/-related; if it generates some discussion, why not?

On the other hand, this is more of a 'business politics' topic than a '/prog/ramming' topic.

Linking to an article with a summary is becoming increasingly common as a substitute for independent thought, discussion, and trolling.

What about:

* Link to article.
* "I think that blah blah blah"
* "What do you think?"

I'd rather:

*Self-explained topic title
*A small phrase stating what it is about
*Link to article
*"I think that blah blah blah"
*Dramatic question

All the parts must be semantically separated by a space.

The sad fact here is that >>8 describes syntax, not semantics.

However, I'm ALL FOR real semantic delimiters.

Don't change these.
