I take it you are related to Frank Bainimarama, or perhaps you are a member of the Fiji armed forces then.

And BS on that point. New Zealand does have restrictive immigration policies... http://www.immigration.govt.nz/nzopportunities/williqualify/

As long as you are healthy, have significant personal funds and have relevant skills it can be done, but the bar is quite high.

Default was first used in computer science in the 1960s because that is when computer science, as we knew it, began. It was picked up from common usage outside of computer science, and was general use well before then. Unfortunately I am old enough to remember it as a common term in the 1950s. For example the default land area for a house (at least in my part of the world) was a quarter of an acre and it used to be referred to as the default area.

You said "push down the plate". And the end of the plate the car has to climb up the distance that it was pushed down. That climb will require a very small amount of gas in the engine, enough to create enough energy to climb out, plus friction losses and the inherint losses in the car engine. My guess is that this system will waste about double the energy a good thermal station would use to generate the same amount of electricity.

That would be because 11.1.0.7.0 is essentially a Windows fix release, perhaps.

Look at the recent utterings from Oracle. Now Solaris is number 1, Linux is number 2, at least according to Larry.

Right. So New Zealand is politically corrupt and the government is out of touch with reality. The weather is terrible and the country is over-run with Australians. The country is a really horrible place to visit/live in.

Please, please believe this is true. We don't want any more people here, we are OK just as we are.

I guess it all depends on how nubile grace is....

Times change. It used to be a UNIX kernel.

If your 4 digit ID is original, then this is a wind-up. If you paid for it, then I suggest you just keep looking for a few more weeks, then you will understand your audience.

Sun's new 7000 series storage arrays use them, and that series runs OpenSolaris. So I guess Solaris has at least some SSD optimisatioons... http://www.infostor.com/article_display.content.global.en-us.articles.infostor.top-news.sun_s-ssd_arrays_hit.1.html

This is not the original Netscape code that is being open sourced, it is the current Sun Web server that has its roots in the Netscape Web server. I doubt there is much of the original code left.

what is not clear is that this is just part of Sun's strategy of outsourcing ALL their code. For example the Sun Application server is outsourced as Glassfish, Directory server is OpenDirectory and the SeeBeyond stuff is going into open source components of JavaCAPS.

Interesting the way the licensing is going, earlier outsource efforts were CDDL, then GPL, now BSD. If this keeps up slashdotters are going to have to find another company to bitch about.

Except that Sun DOES sell Java. Maybe not the client JRE, but the server side application server, Java validation and licenses and patent protection for OEM's - like IBM.

The webcam in my Acer Extensa works just fine with Solaris 11(nv104). As does wifi, suspend, sound and everything else. Out of the box. Win XP and Vista does not do that.
