Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,39624,00.html?st.ne.fd.tohhed.n i Outage after outage Ebay keeps telling users that they are "taking steps" to prevent from going down. And it keeps happening. Although expensive, at some point I hope they realize that they must have very serious underlying architectural problems to have so many outages. Their choice of NT and Oracle for one I think may be part of the problem. They also have Solaris somewhere in the mix, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with their problems. :-) Another reason to move more of my auction business to FreeBSD based Yahoo. :-) Actually I like their interface better anyway.. And with all these problems at Ebay I think the other auction sites are probably getting more business.
