]]> Comment on How to Pick a Partner by Sexual Health Inventory for Men /2009/01/how-to-pick-a-partner/comment-page-1/#comment-2811 Sexual Health Inventory for Men Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:55:30 +0000 http://alonshwartz.com/?p=25#comment-2811 Generally, it is believed that 15 percent of couples meet with failure when attempting their first pregnancy, since 80-85 percent of couples achieve pregnancy within twelve months of unprotected sexual intercourse. There is evidence from clinical data to show that in 30 percent of cases of infertility, the problem is with the man alone. While in another 20 percent, the man and the woman both share the 'reason' for the couple's infertility. Therefore in 50 percent of infertility cases, the problem is wholly or partly from the man. This fact might be too much for persons to believe, but it should be understood that the male reproductive system is almost as complex as that of the females. Also, from conception to menopause, the male stands almost the chance of reproductive malfunction or abnormality as the woman.

]]> Comment on Why .Net??? by Marco Villalobos /2008/12/why-dot-net/comment-page-1/#comment-2749 Marco Villalobos Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:24:22 +0000 http://alonshwartz.com/?p=10#comment-2749 This is just my opinion as a developer, this fight boils down to this: graphical user interface: Windows vs. X Window ? winner Windows. document processinging: MS Office vs. Open Office ? winner Windows shell: PowerShell vs. bash or tc shell ? winner Linux, Linux, Linux. scripting: batch vs. bash scripts or myriad of Linux scripting options ? winner Linux, Linux, Linux. tools like grep, find, awk, pipes help so much. The windows counterpart of these utilities are very awkward. scheduling Scheduled Tasks vs. cron ? winner tie. application layer network protocol support: scp: winner Linux ssh: winner Linux ftp: winner Linux telnet: tied (although it is a better user experience on Linux) remote administration: remote desktop connection vs. ssh ? winner Linux remote usage: (for example, using a remote system to perform ui related tasks such writing a document) remote desktop connection vs. x windows ? winner windows task management: depends: process management: task manager vs. Linux process management ? winner Linux (very important for production deployed applications with many nodes) ui related processes: task manager vs. Linux process management ? winner windows (not so important for a production system with many nodes) Overall, I find Windows suitable for document writing, media viewing, and web browsing. However, I find the tools necessary for administrating a group of machines, their processes, and networking support much stronger in Linux. I believe a good system can be architected for both Windows and Linux, however, I truly believe that enterprise Linux systems really shine in management, administration, and diagnosis. I believe that if there are many nodes in your architecture, you'll have an easier time in the long run in one built on Linux. Finally, the java platform runs very well on windows or Linux, however, .NET doesn't. Although .NET provides a very nice platform for writing applications, the fact that the only good distributions of it are available only for the Windows platform really hurts it in my opinion. Also, I disagree with the issue of costs. If there is a time when you truly need to scale out, and you built your system on open-source, you're going to save so much money. Regardless, this is not about good vs. . evil in my opinion. If you know .NET and Windows better, then perhaps that is the winning edge you need to get to market faster. By the way, this list would be different if we included MacOS, which I recommend as a client or desktop system. However, my argument is based on production systems. Keep up the good work! This is just my opinion as a developer, this fight boils down to this:

graphical user interface: Windows vs. X Window ? winner Windows.

application layer network protocol support:

ssh: winner Linux

telnet: tied (although it is a better user experience on Linux)
remote administration:

remote usage: (for example, using a remote system to perform ui related tasks such writing a document)
remote desktop connection vs. x windows ? winner windows
task management:
depends:

ui related processes:

Overall, I find Windows suitable for document writing, media viewing, and web browsing. However, I find the tools necessary for administrating a group of machines, their processes, and networking support much stronger in Linux.

Finally, the java platform runs very well on windows or Linux, however, .NET doesn’t.
