Apple Attempts to Suppress Steve Jobs Profile Article

[GoodWatch]

Look up on Apple and HP License fees before you post. give me ONE program you need that cannot be installed on a XSERVE!!!

Only one? Here you go my son: our bespoke planning and execution program running on our IBM iSeries 520 (native Cobol). Unplanned downtime for this (formerly named) AS/400 system? Zero hours on an annually basis. Planned downtime? 8 hours. Now stand in the corner and say a 100 times: "I made a mistake". One hour downtime exceeds your figure many times. That's what counts my son.

That's all very well and good, but you failed to answer any of my questions. So SAP offer a JAVA CLIENT that supports OS X, as they should. It is JAVA and therefore portable. What I was questioning, was the availability and support of applications actually running on the Xserve using the server flavour of OS X.

Oracle for example, will sell you 10g R2 for OS X server, here is a sample from a support document.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b25285/toc.htm

The following products are not supported on Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2):

Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC)
Oracle Clusterware
Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
Network File System (NFS)
Network-attached Storage (NAS)
Raw devices
Oracle Application Express (formerly known as Oracle HTML DB)
Oracle HTTP Server
Oracle Workflow
Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control
Oracle Management Agent
Pro*Fortran
Pro*COBOL
iSQL*Plus
Oracle Ultra Search

Until app vendors take OS X server as seriously as they do *NIX/Windows then it will not even be a considered platform for most.

One quack shrink says Steve is a 'narcissist' and the whole thread takes off.

That's one guys opinion.

More like Steve has more than a touch of meglomania. That being an obsession with the exercise of power, especially in the domination of others. In short, he's a perfectionist and gets a high off of taking credit for creation of a perfect product which he introduces himself to an admring world. To achieve his goals he is excessively cruel to underlings.

In short, he is a very successful man, but not a very likable man. Steve is more to be pitied than liked. We all knew he was mortal, but he only recently found that out. Wow, that must gall him! He doesn't want pity....he wants fan worship. Well, he gets both. Life goes on until it ends. No wonder he does not like to be analyzed in a public forum.

I should know better, but one last peanut tossed to the gallery.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran

Fortran (previously FORTRAN[1]) is a general-purpose,[2] procedural,[3] imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, Fortran came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continual use for over half a century in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computational physics, and computational chemistry. It is one of the most popular languages in the area of high-performance computing and is the language used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers.[4]

guess the truth hurts!!!!
