If there are any actual data in this article, I couldn't find it. |

This article was idiotic - full of half-baked notions, ridiculous assertions and much confusion in evidence. I work at a fortune 100 company which runs its data center infrastructure on linux, and the assertions in the didiot article and the related study simply fly in the face of the facts. First of all, there has been no downtime on any production linux servers in the 7 years or so we've been using linux in that role, except for one dell server with hardware issues. period. Secondly, if there were a problem, we would not go "scouring the internet" for support, we would pick up the phone and call HP or Novell. It's called support and yes, virginia, you can get support for linux, just as you can for HPUX, Solaris, AIX or any other data center OS. Bleh, the article is so stupid I don't want to waste any more time thinking about it. |

Amityville, eh? Maybe that's why she looks at Windows and sees an OS. |

Amityville, paranormal investigations WTF?

Didio: "...I'm like 'Pass the hookah please!'" It appears to me that she has already passed something or other. First she conducts paranormal investigations and now she expects to be taken seriously in Tech?? I'd say she's lacking a serious dose of reality checks. Her analysis reflects that lack. BTW: I want some of what she's smoking!! :-) Don K. |

dek, When you're finished could you pass the hookah over here please? lol |

What a tough crowd. Surely you recognize the paranormal nature of SCO's lawsuits? Which makes Ms. DiDio the perfect expert analyst for them. Which has little to do with this thread, but i want to join in the fun too. |

As has been pointed out many times, we need to dispute the article content, and not the Author. However in this case, there appears to be no content, so, Ms. DiDio seems the perfect subject for a witch hunt. Sometimes the witch really does exist. |

jimf: Don't be maligning witches, please. I think you mean Ms. DiDio is the perfect subject for a shill hunt. |

Once again I have offended 'someone' ;-) |
| SFN Jun 09, 2006 12:05 PM EDT |
Um..... *raises hand* I used to do paranormal investigations. |

O.k., so she's a paranormal technology analyst. She investigates and analyzes paranormal technologies, such as MS Windows. Or has everyone forgotten grouch's recent article, Newbies and Magic (http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/61010/index.html), about the "magic" boxes that suddenly reboot for no apparent reason? Isn't that a paranormal technology phenomenon? |

Either paranormal technology analyst or simply a billg pump, er, I mean bilge pump, no, right the first time: billg pump. |
