so very true, VMWare Server 1 was Ok, i used it for some small servers for a while, with the intention of migrating to Xen; but a hardware failure prompted us to move in a hurry.... to VMWare Server 2. _total_disgrace_ no amount of tuning could give us the lost performance. slashed half of the VMs, and still users complained.
the final and best solution was migrating to a server-class KVM install. far easier than Xen and great performance.
Honestly, I don't know anyone who uses Flash for things other than video...
It's also quite good to provide HTML5 capabilities to prehistoric browsers. a great example is svgWeb, which lets you use SVG in any (almost) browser. if possible, will be native SVG, if not, it loads a flash renderer.
IOW, in a perfect world, nobody would need it. but we do.
dotCMS is (like most other 'CMS's out there) a WebCMS, while Alfresco is a Document manager (which can publish to web, but it's not the main use).
It's a big difference, in fact i don't know why they're called the same. The functionality intersection is very thin.
Only two pairs are used in standard duplex Ethernet. The other four conductors are occasionally used for Power over Ethernet. See the pinout.
That was true only on 10/100BaseT. Gigabit Ethernet uses all four pairs, bidirectionally. PoE uses the same wires as the data, adding a constant voltage to the differential signal.
Mr Graphic Designer Man: "Linux still doesn't do proper color management."
Me: "I don't know what that means. You may be right."
Funny that you mention that; I've throughly compared several CMS engines, from Adobe, Apple, Esko (formerly Barco), Efi (makers of the Fiery) and LittleCMS (the OS CMS used everywhere Linux need color management). Believe it or not, LCMS was right there with Efi on quality, a little better than Adobe, and waaay better than Esko (Apple was erratic, it seems to be a modification of Efi's engine). And it ran circles around everything else on terms of performance and resource utilization.
So, quality _can_ be better on OSS, but it won't dispel long help myths.
what about a bacon plasma torch?
The eye certainly doesn't have any processors of any sort in there.
It has a detector and some wiring in to the brain.
wrong. the retina does a lot of quite useful processing on the image before sending quite high-level data to the brain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina#Spatial_Encoding
there are lots of hard-to-explain cases where somebody can see perfectly; but can't detect movement, or where can't recognize the border between shapes, and therefore is unable to make sense of what sees, etc.
Qt. No need for anything else.
In fact, it could be argued that Qt apps are _far_ more native than
really? can you give an example?
great, put the antenna far from your brain and into your pocket. no useful organs in the waist area...
You do realize the inherent conflict of interest in criticism from a competitor right?
yeah, don't listen to the competitor's arguments! also, don't listen to the defendant attorney in court cases!
c'mon, it's always important to read both sides. if they're the best they could say; but one of them is full of ad hominem's or similar bad arguments, then it's a good sign the the other side has a better point.
just like sending data by wire is WAY more efficient than doing it by air.
it still doesn't mean its more convenient.

As Douglas Adams wisely told us, no one who wants to be president should ever be allowed to become the president.
That was actually Plato, in "The Republic" (written almost 2,400 years ago!).
