prostoalex writes "ComputerWorld magazine runs a story on Level 5 Networks, which emerged from the stealth startup status with its own brand of network cards and software called EtherFabric. The company claims they are reducing the load on the servers CPUs and improve the communications between the servers. And it's not vaporware: 'The EtherFabric software shipping Monday runs on the Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6, with support for Windows and Unix coming in the first half of next year. High volume pricing is $295 for a two-port, 1GB-per-port EtherFabric network interface card and software, while low volume quantities start from $495.'"

that was the most useless post i've seen since the old 'signal 11' days.

I'm utterly confounded as to where to begin demolishing the stupidity that is your textual diarrhea.

I'm begining to see what it must be like to be a social worker in detroit.

I'm surprised your left hand doesn't slash your right wrist at night just to keep you from waking up in the morning.
