Why buy 64-bit?
|
Posted by: Ken Farmer on Monday June 27 2005 @ 07:00AM EDT views: 229
It-Anaysis: Intel and, to a lesser extent, Microsoft would like everybody to upgrade to 64-bit Itanium processors.

ActiveGrid blazes path for enterprise LAMP
|
Posted by: Ken Farmer on Monday June 27 2005 @ 06:55AM EDT views: 171
InfoWorld: Back in 1998 I built a mission-critical application using the technology suite now called LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Perl/PHP/Python). It was a killer combination: blazing performance, rock-solid reliability, rapid development. Perl's dynamism was an essential ingredient, but looking back, I see it was also a crutch. If I had needed to redeploy to a cluster, swap in a different authentication scheme, or alter the flow of the application, I'd have been able to do those things quickly, but it would have been harder for somebody else to.
