RE: Mattie Pattie,

"......Does it surprise you that there are more people than me, claiming that you lie?...." Not really, it's quite a common experience when dealing with those blinkered by religeous belief, they tend to treat any attempt to explain reality to them as a personal attack and hence get shirty and insulting.

"....Regarding your benchmark: profit. So what?...." Try saying that to the 3000 Sun employees that just go the boot Then think about the gaping holes in capability that must mean have just been added to the already well-holed Sun support, development and sales structures, and then try saying "so what" to Sun's current and possible future customers. Then again, thinking doesn't seem to be too much of a strong point for you, you're probably waiting for the Sun rep to call and tell you what to think about the layoffs.

"....Ive want to show you that your are FUD by claiming that Niagara is slow, and by writing Slowlaris. If you were true, I wouldnt be able to post benches showing that Solaris on Niagara easily kills AIX and Power6. But now I am able to post such benches, which means you are lying...." Yeah, and I came up with that Slowaris moniker all by myself - not! And Niagara has very low penetration anywhere outside the webserving niche, with Sun even having to bring in the M3000 to satisfy customers that complained the T-series were pants compared to their old Netras. Care to dispute those facts?

"....The Solaris and niagara is in fact many times faster than IBM, on certain work loads...." LOL! Look at the last phrase - "on certain work loads" - do I detect a little bit of wriggling going on? Just the sentences before you assured us "If you were true, I wouldnt be able to post benches showing that Solaris on Niagara easily kills AIX and Power6", so which is it, does Niagara "easily kill" AIX and Power or just on a few workloads? Come on, at least make this hard for me, there's no sport in it when you keep shooting yourself in the foot with such amusing regularity! Just for fun, I want to tell us exactly how many comparisons on whatever "work loads" you like you personally have actually run between Power and Niagara (hint - if you claim any then we already know you're lying).
