Sun has announced plans to release a version of Solaris 9 for Intel and AMD processors. Earlier in the year, Sun said it was "deferring productization" of Solaris/x86, prompting an outcry from the Solaris on x86 community. Now Sun says the software will be available by January, but it will come at a price. The product will cost $99 for single-processor desktop systems and an as-yet undecided higher price for multiprocessor servers. Those wishing to get an earlier gander at the OS can get a $20 early access version for testing purposes. Sun says support is optional and will cost $75 per month for desktop systems and $1,275 per year for low-end servers. >> CLICK: http://searchsolaris.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid12_gci855320,00.html MORE SOLARIS ON INTEL INFORMATION: Are you willing to pay for a version of Solaris 9 for Intel?

Joyride post gets mechanic canned A car mechanic's motor mouth threw a monkeywrench in his career when he went to a Ford Mustang forum on the Net and bragged how he had taken a customer's car on a 140 mph joyride. It turns out, the car owner read his post, went to the repair shop's owner, and got the guy fired.
