Because they both currently sell a lot of hardware to run Oracle (aka JD Edwards aka Peoplesoft aka Siebel aka BEA...) solutions. One would imagine that Oracle would show preference for their own hardware in the future.
The 6900 does not have a white box hardware equivalent. You will just have to take my word for that.
Much more importantly that duct-taped baby is NOT actually doing the same things. The fact that seemingly intelligent people in the/. community don't grasp that might be why this person decided they needed to rebutt the article
Oh and btw you're so totally busted- we all know you didn't even read the blog or you would know that LORI isn't a GUY.:)
I know this sounds bat-shit nuts, but there should be a significant drop in Lyme disease cases. It has to do with the life cycle of the tick and mouse populations- it sounds wierd as hell but it was backed up by field research. I think it was at the Institute for Ecosystem Studies- I just remember making fun of my mother walking around talking about acorn masts (the opposite of this year).
Disclaimer: Not only do I work for F5 but I'm in SALES
There isn't much iControl integration into the BIND running on the GTM, but for this scenario all these names would be WIPs- so using iControl to move traffic around would work perfectly.
And F5 is never going to be the cheapest but it is usually the best (and when it comes to LTM and GTM, I've got no qualms saying that). For this particular guys needs it is overkill- he doesn't care about HA or site redundancy, he just wants API access to DNS. He also isn't using LTM so he gets no benefit from the integration between the two [And I'm pretty positive Amazon isn't going to give him credentials on their EC2 F5's:)].
This is some front line admin that just wants to make his life easier- not a business looking to avoid outages on mission critical apps [read that:cost significant revenue when they're down]- so I personally wouldn't push too hard to sell the guy an enterprise/carrier grade $50k+ global load balancing solution.
Strange. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the local BlockBuster, there was an entire row (probably 20-30 linear feet of shelving) of BD movies. Might want to try a different store.
Blu-Ray mastering needs work, to my eye. Without motion blur, you need ultra-high refresh rates (up over 120fps) to keep progressive scan video - regardless of definition - from looking jittery. That's controlled by how the images are mastered from either film or digital stock, and by how well your TV can really play back the material.
To me, all Blu-Ray stuff I've seen so far looks like crisp newscam compared to a real cinema experience. DVD playback has actually come a long way in emulating cinematic effects, despite the lower res, so in some instances DVD doesn't just get the job done fine, it actually looks better in some ways than Blu-Ray.
I think that is a matter of playback and display devices. I finally swallowed my pride and bought a BD player when I set up my Sanyo Z2000 projector.
Now the thing is I was messing around and changed the output mode on my player to 1080p instead of automagic and then proceeded to watch the first half hour or so of Batman Begins. It was jittery and horrible. Then I noticed that I wasn't running 24hz to the projector but 60hz. One remote click later and the image was back to normal.
How would that look if you have a bad mismatch of components/settings? [Ohh lets say a player that isn't outputting 24p attached to a 120hz LCD(to clarify: 24fps original -> 60fps from player to TV -> trying to extract the original 24fps -> displaying each one 5x to hit 120hz)I can't imagine why that might not look good. ] I would bet you a penny that you're experience is not the fault of the technology, or lack of mastering technique, but either improperly configured gear or just plain cheap or old devices that don't do 24p.
As a side note: progressive scan DVDs (which you must be using to compare with) have the same framerates, and last I checked there is no motion blur after decoding in the DVD standards, though I could be wrong.
BTW My setup isn't 'accessibly cheap' but it's far from high dollar. The PJ cost me about $1350 after rebates, I got a scratch and dent screen for $110, and the surround setup cost about $300. So including the Sony BluRay player I'm at about $2k all in.
And I think you're wrong about that- if someone breaks into your house and steals money from your safe, is caught, and the bills are all identified as from a bank robbery... You're probably pretty screwed.
I can't provide any more base analogies as the TV shows only deal in dramatic crap... Sorry...
Slashdot Mirror
I think you guys are confused. ISDN uses the D channel for out of band signalling, the B channels are both 64kbps clear...
ahh sh*t, busted.
Sadly, your comment contains more actual information, and is better written, than the 'article.'

That's like Facebook, right?
Nice try but that would be fixin' not plannin'...
Dude I bet they could make a 1000MHz 80286 nowadays. That chip wasn't released until after the 486 man!
But alas I HAD forgotten about the hacked up non intel 286's.
My bad I *did* forget about those. But to be fair so did everyone else, and nobody ever considered them to be "lightning fast" chips.
(Words like everyone and nobody are not meant to be taken literally)
a 286/20 would have been lightning fast because they only came up to 12mhz... That's a big overclock for a CPU without even a heatsink :)
Because they both currently sell a lot of hardware to run Oracle (aka JD Edwards aka Peoplesoft aka Siebel aka BEA...) solutions. One would imagine that Oracle would show preference for their own hardware in the future.
Just imagine how happy this news is making Dell and HP... Holy crapstorm in the making batman...
Technically you only need one (pair) of real certs since your servers won't be talking SSL to browsers.
How that translates into ROI is between you, your 0 or more diet[y|ies], and your CA...

I ran my first VM on a 386SX-16, not the point really. This guy wants a SAN and to run Oracle RAC on it.
Is this a joke? Like seriously is it? No there isn't. Move along. This is the exact opposite of cobble old hardware into a pile.

nonworking ball point pens
Ahh you had me until the pens bit... Everyone knows its the working ball point pens that can never be found.
Would you mind telling us where you work so that we can flag resumes that claim experience from there and give the candidates tests?
Thanks
Cool...
