Looking at spec.org jEnterprise2010 scores:

A T5-2 gets a jEnterprise2010 score of 17k, an X4-2 11k (with half the memory and Oracle Broken Linux 5.9, why not 6.*?).
The sparc has a list price of ~68k USD. Not sure what a two socket Oracle intel box costs; maybe 15k or so?
sparc; 4 usd/score
intel: 1.36 usd/score
Sparc was nice once, but that was ever so long ago..
I did some benchmarking a while ago on freebsd7 solaris10 and centos4.6, all on the same hardware. At the time, Veritas came out quite well.
on 8 disks, raidz/5:
FreeBSD7: 144/73 MB/s r/w using dd
Solaris10: 150/92
Fedora7 md raid: 164/130
Solaris/veritas: 169/35
raid0/stripe:
FreeBSD7 (zfs): 236/155
Solaris10 (zfs): 169/132
Fedora7 (md0): 259/188
Centos4+vertias: 236/270
Solaris10 (zfs) random write was as fast as veritas and much faster than all the others (~300MB/s versus 150-ish).
I'm now running btrfs and am quite happy with it, should probably run those benchmarks again and clean up the page a bit http://www.crystalconsulting.eu/bench/

In short; it just works.
My wife has an iphone, which is very nice, but it needs to be charged every night...
It is starting to fall apart a bit though; maybe I should see about getting a newer one.

My nokia 6310i has a "pager" mode, when you receive an SMS, it keeps beeping as loud as it can until you do something.
Very annoying, but can also be very useful.

The perversity of nature is nowhere better demonstrated by the fact that, when exposed to the same atmosphere, bread becomes hard while crackers become soft.
