"This special offer for a free Sun Ultra 20 workstation with purchase of a 3 year Sun Service Subscription program for $29.95 per month has ended." :(

It sounds quite good indeed! I will check it out for sure :) Man, Solaris mess with my buttons, I sure miss working with it!

You are most welcome :) Back then Microsoft was still struggling to convince people that Windows 2000 Server was viable platform for mission-critical systems. On top of that, security wasnt as much as a priority as it is today. Nevertheless, Windows 2000 was a pretty good platform and if I...

Oh no, the operating system will do the best it can to share the load among the available cores. :) Two single-threaded computing loops can execute independently at almost 'full speed' in a dual-core machine. I say 'almost' because while they run in independent processors, they still have to...

Basically, if the application uses multiple processing threads to execute tasks in parallel, you will experience a significant performance boost, otherwise you will not be gaining much. When I optimize systems using Amibroker for example (Amibroker doesnt use multiple threads during...

You know, I wonder if you would say such things to people's face.... Like, learn to live in peace with people, respect people's standpoints and opinions. Why criticize someone who was trying to help someone else when you werent? Like, what do you want? Is this making you feel accomplished...

Now, that is something we wouldnt hear from a mature human being ;) Nononsense = trouble maker / forum warrior

Oh my, you are such a trouble maker! Are you able to share your opinion like an adult? Either you are really young or really immature... Why are you so eager to create conflict?

Well, it would be if Microsoft was paying me to be here ;) Now, that is soooo funny. A pro-Linux person has 'opinion' and a pro-Windows person has 'sales pitch'? That sounds like some serious bias to me ;) Oh, I am talking UNIX, not Linux. It isnt like you can really have a cheap...

You know what, I believe you are *very* right! Overdesign is the #1 slayer of good ideas :D

Hey Francis, Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP are very similar operating systems. The only differences worth to mention for the scope of this discussion are: 1. Security - Windows 2003 have a bigger emphasis on security than Windows XP has. 2. The TCP/IP stack. The Windows XP network...

You know what, me too. Life is about learning you know. I would be happier to be proved wrong than to have to deal with all this 'noise'. The first reason is trust. For most people it is much easier to trust a Unix system than it is to trust a Windows system. Some of Microsoft's mistakes are...

And if you were a smart, educated human being you would be more polite when talking people you don't even know. If you are not articulated enough or mature enough to keep your cool during a discussion, what can you do? You must be one of these forum warriors. I cant see any other...

I have this "idea" :) Instead of replying to my post to say I am wrong about Microsoft, why dont you people that disagree with me write a serious reply to our friend Ecoscien? Really, that would make the world a better place in many many ways ;) Don't be hatin' MrTwo

LMAO, how old are you nononsense? That felt high-school all the way ;) Like, last time I checked, reading MSIL dissasembled code was something people would just do, you know? Like, all the time. I guess you dont even know how does MSIL looks like. I guess you were just soooo excited about...

Whatever nononsense, you are not informed to make coments on this one ;) Actually, you sound like a over-optimized curve-fitting system that is only able to trade the past. Basically what you are saying is that 'no matter the current state, it is bad because it was bad in the past'. Not a...

Now, before we have another exciting Microsoft vs Linux post on this Automated Trading thread (yeah, that is what we were talking about...) lets clarify some points: 1. I am talking C++ here. When I say that the available IDEs for Linux are primitive when compared to Visual Studio 2005, the...

Nope, you are wrong on that one, I actually have more hours of Unix/Linux development under my belt than Microsoft ;) Oh man, NT 3.5 was awful, I sure remember that. Back then I was a HP-UX / Solaris developer and I remember asking myself why Microsoft was even trying to break in that market...

LOL, no, I am not a sales rep for MS. As I said, not only I love all platforms but I am also well versed in all of them. Very few people can honestly say that ;) Well, I will not entertain this. No ofense please (and I really mean it) but unless you are software engineer or equaly qualified...

I sense this will be the beginning of a flame war lol DISCLAIMER: I LOVE ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS! Windows 2003 Server: Use it if you actually want to get anything done. The Visual Studio IDE and its optimizing compiler are the ONLY serious development platform out there right now. Windows...
