I don't know where people are getting this $1000/socket bullsh*t. Maybe that's some ridiculous list price, but unless you're a moron, you won't pay anywhere close to that for full HW and OS support on Sun/Oracle hardware.

The $1000/socket/year is straight off of Oracle's website. As a small shop, Oracle hasn't been willing to cut us a deal or negotiate, and only offers us what's on their website. Too bad, I used to use and really like OpenSolaris.

Since the acquisition I had somewhat lost hope in Solaris with Oracle as the overlord, however, I've recently found OpenIndiana. It looks very promising!

Go read that "new" Oracle license and you'll realize Solaris isn't nearly as free as it once was.

Too bad, Solaris was gaining more momentum while it was available for free for any purpose, not just "...only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your applications, and not for any other purpose."

Not when they cannot perform simple geometrical calculations.

180 degrees, not 181, should be the sum of all internal angles.

Just turn in your geek card.

Please show us how you get any triangle with either more or less than 180 degrees as the sum of all internal angles.
