The story of how a BeOS refugee (and not just everyone, but the author of the 'BeOS Bible' book) lost faith in the future of computing, resigned himself to Windows but found himself bored silly, tore out half his hair at the helm of a Linux box, then rediscovered the joy of computing in MacOSX. Scot Hacker will describe his personal adventures with today's operating systems after he was set out to find an alternative to his beloved (but with no apparent future) BeOS. Update: Make sure you read the second part of the article, a rebutal, found here.

>Sorry for the doublepost -- I got a MySQL error, hit reload, then saw two copies of my post. Lemme guess -- broken PHPnuke-ness?
OSNews is written from scratch to be very lean and fast, it does not use the bloat of both the PHP/Post Nuke engines.
The reason why you got that mySQL error is because we can't change the number of our <PRE>max_connections</PRE> on our mySQL database because it dumbs core for some weird reason if we do (we tried different binaries and versions, but with the same result). So, today, because it is a special day and we have more than http://66.181.171.71/2/42699/6/">120,000 (normally we are about 15-20,000 page views per day), we ran out of bandwidth and mySQL connections. Nothing to worry about really as there is nothing we can do about, neither is a source code or PHP fault, but simply a bandwidth/mysql problem which should go away as the hits will calm down soon.
