..but if you read Linux Format, the cover story this month is the Eee PC and the Eee 900. From (Linux Format's TFA: "A current poll of Eee users shows that only 29 percent are running MS Windows."
MIT's Open Course-ware has videos (for some courses) of the entire semesters. I usually watch one or two per day, and they stream over an hour of.rm content each. So, I'm guessing that MIT is inherently evil for opening its fascinating courses for the public to view? Wait, MIT is trying to ruin the internet? OMG!!
Not to mention, I routinely download Linux images for Open Suse, Fedora, and Ubuntu for 3 different architechtures AND keep them up to date with patches. That's about 25+ GB (big B) of data/month in free software and video alone.
Damn, this free stuff is undermining the entire ISP's monopoly and forcing them to expand their networks... and charge me more money/month. Guess there really is no such think as a free lunch.
Can I get some sort of open source ISP please?
If you have redundant hardware and a SAN, why not just use normal servers, and have redundancy for them?
It is POSSIBLE to setup a nice ESX environment, but it's a challenge to keep current with their constant patches, their horrible support, and the gigantic machines that must be used to virtualize 15 production web servers.
Load a resource-hungry application onto your farm, and watch it eat way more than it would without the overhead of the VM-layer. 4x 3.0 Ghz Xeons and 16GB/ram (each) load-balanced machines (web/app servers!) CRAWL on VMware ESX.
One Migration (to MORE powerful hardware) went so poorly, half of our VMs are still sitting on old legacy hardware due to some sort of low-level driver incompatibility. (Win 2k/2k3 VMs on Linux ESX).
If you cross reference the first three octets of the MAC address, you can come up with the Organizationally Unique Identifier, or OUI. That can be x-refed to a chart of manufacturers and therefore can be used to "fingerprint" many network devices.
Where does IBM/Sony's Cell processor fall in the CPU/GPU battle? IBM most certainly plans to use it in PCs as a CPU, but wasn't most of the initial development focused on making it a better GPUing CPU?
Having lived in areas "served" by both Cox and Comcast, and relying on telecommuting to work, I have looked into the "business packages" for both. Essentually they offer static IPs (or a block of them), open incoming port 80, 25, 443, etc, and a higher SLA (for an increased cost).
Since I depend on faster upstream connection speed for my job, I was wondering if these filters are in place with the (more expensive) business packages (Comcast was about $85/year for 12 down 2 up, Cox was about $110 for similar).
Developing with embedded flash as it's interface of choice, 220x240 scree, having ZERO battery life (9 volt backup only), etc... makes this a device that I would avoid for $180.00.
How about everyone take a minute to go become a member of the EFF? I just paid the 25 bucks. I would imagine a couple hundred slashdotters paying 15-25 bucks each (15 for a student) would help with their other projects as well. You will also get a cool sticker (I did). It's tax-deductible!

Hold on, let me check! www.googl... nope.

Because when I have a virtual host fail (kernel dump), I want 15 "high availability" servers to all go down simultaneously, instead of one.

I just found a new sig.

This story is useless without benchmarks.

326ms... Having just tested 2 devices in a Verizon store at "Speedtest.net".
Happy Now?
Just give me the Adsense revenue and I'll put it up offshore somewhere and... 3. PROFIT!!
