UnitedLinux Pushes Into Telecom Market

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-reasonable dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It would seem that UnitedLinux is pushing into the telecomms market according to this article at ITWorld. Is this the first market they are trying to meander into? I perticularly like this quote: 'Telecommunications grade servers must meet specific standards regarding electromagnetic interference, electrostatic discharge, corrosion, grounding and seismic durability.' Hmmmm."

    You have to compile with --noesd and --killrust. at the moment there's problems with
    --filthybigmetalrodintheground, which only runs acceptably if there's an AMD hammer present.

    What!?! You obviously aren't a case-modder, are you?

    My case is made of titanium alloys and packaging foam. I can drop it from a plane (while it's running) and the only thing that happens is that the CD-Audio skips (hang on a second, I listen to .oggs).

    In fact, my computer works best when it's being dropped out of planes or having buildings land on it.

    Besides, it's probably cheaper to case-mod each PC than to maintain the structural safety of the building. Now if those damned employees would only get titanium bones and exo-skeletons...

    Needless to say I have never seen a Microsoft 5 nines solution.
    But I've seen some 9 fives solutions...
