  1. Re:Does anyone even care at this point? on Paramount to Drop Blu-Ray for HD-DVD · · Score: 1

    The reason there has to be a scratch proof layer on blu-ray is that the data layer is significantly closer to the surface due to the finer focus required for blu-ray. This finer focus and thinner top layer means that it will take less damage to the surface, and less dust on the laser head, to interrupt the laser, so less fool proof.

  2. Netbackup media server on Sun To Release 8-Core Niagara 2 Processor · · Score: 1

    This processor is ideal for a Veritas Netbackup media server. Netbackup is heavily multi-threaded, and getting the backup data across the network to the server will be tremendously aided by the on-chip 10G bandwidth. Symantec has been doing this with great success.

  3. Re:Alternatives? on Symantec CEO Says Bad Service Fix Only Temporary · · Score: 1

    1 McAfee 2 Netbackup Both are used by the corp I work for. Backup Exec was a product bought by Veritas, they did not create it. Netbackup is the corporate product of choice.

  4. MS didn't invent FAT on Germany Rejects Microsoft FAT Patent · · Score: 1

    The File Allocation Table was actually invented by Gary Kildall and Digital Research as part of CP/M. The original MS DOS was developed from a reverse engineered copy of CP/M called QDOS which was written by Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products. Paul Allen bought the rights to this, it then became MS DOS. CP/M had the 8.3 filename restriction that came from FAT.

  5. Re:Well, of course he's saying that. on Bill Gates Brags About Vista, Reacts to Apple's Latest Ads · · Score: 1

    This is exactly the way I look at Windows as an OS, I'm just going with the flow in having it on my home desktop. I use Sun Solaris all day at work, but it doesn't run the apps I want to run on my home desktop. Unix is vastly superior in areas such as security, but not all that useful at home.
