In another move that was sure to infuriate many geeks, the 70 year old presidential hopeful also said that he would ask Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to serve on his cabinet to deal with technology issues if elected. He did not however say what position Ballmer might be hired in, but did joke that he might consider him for a diplomatic position, such as ambassador to China.

Ballmer is not known in the tech industry for his diplomatic prowess: he once threw a chair across his office saying he would “fucking kill Google” after learning that a prized employee had defected to the search giant.

McCain: "I get stupider every day."

OMG!!!!!! see my thread about corporations as politicians is coming to fruition!!!!

RUN!!! HIDE!!!!! !!!!!!!

You're sig is way too big. Quotes count as 4 or 5 lines. I'd edit before a Mod does.

Anyway - Ahhh! Big ebil corporations taking over teh world!

All the Democrats have to do is spread the news that McCain is a Bushevik himself and that should kill off his 2008 ambitions.

Isn't the limit more like seven? I thought that was right...

The limit's 8, but 'cos quotes count as about 4 or 5, and he has two, his sig counts as quite big.

EDIT: Never mind, he's changed it anyway.

If server uptime reporting is of any clue FreeBSD seems to have the best maintained and stable operating system along with several other variants

(Note some versions of Linux do not have the auto uptime feature required for reporting, Windows server and most of the others including solaris do)

I am a server admin :) I have to know what features in each operating system to look for ... stability FreeBSD or solaris (or several others)
Security same

Features Microsoft (Exchange and AD are just too easily integrated into Server03)

End workstation compatibility, again windows (Roaming profiles and other imaging features and such)

Ease of deployment and POC Linux, and arguably security as well but the other two have some more tools to help
