  1. Re:2 CPU servers are a joke on Surveying the World of the Biggest Server Farms · · Score: 1

    Well, according to this article, it looks like it's still 2-CPU servers: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10209580-92.html Unless, of course, it's an April Fools day joke :) I am sure they are 2 and probably 4 core CPU's though.

  2. Thinkpads! on Portables Without Cameras? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hmm I don't think that only low-end laptops don't have cameras. I have an admittedly out-of-date but still relatively powerful Thinkpad T61p. No camera - security at my work prohibit them as well.

  3. Re:this wasn't my experience on IE8 Update Forces IE As Default Browser · · Score: 1

    This is a pretty lame statement. If you're upgrading *anything* from version x to version y, why the heck would you expect the old version to still be around? If IE 7 is your default browser and you upgraded to IE8, of course, the default is going ot be IE8 and not IE7. I upgraded 3 machines for IE8, and the default browser on all the boxes is still FF. What a lame story.

  4. Re:Here's looking forward to Notes 12 on Campaign to Open Source IBM's Notes/Domino · · Score: 1

    Hmm. Man, I loved Notes 7. I switched to Notes 8 and noticed *nothing* of what you are describing. The Notes 8 interface (based on eclipse - bad idea) has more narrow borders, etc. And using the integrated chat client, I can still talk on sametime while waiting for a database to open. That is when I actually have to wait - which is rare. Of course, if you really do find the sametime lock to be an issue (which I never noticed), then you can just install the latest standalone version of sametime. Most of my coworkers prefer a standalone version vs. the integrated client.

  5. Re:The email client on Campaign to Open Source IBM's Notes/Domino · · Score: 1

    Heh. I completely agree. It handles everything I need very, very well. It has it's nuances, but now that I've gotten used to it, I work with it very fast. As for the difference between Notes and Domino - why do you really need a multi-user DB on a client to store messages locally, anyways? I didn't read the CouchDB overview, but any single user database (heck, even MS Access, or MySQL) would work, wouldn't it? It's the database on the backend in Domino that would be nice to upgrade. I am not entirely familiar with Domino, but I wonder if it is the same as the Notes client... And I definitely prefer Notes to the MS Outlook client. And how it handles groupware.

  6. Didn't you learn this in Geochemistry? on Evolving Rocks · · Score: 1

    This is just a bit of an extension from what I learned in my geochemistry and economic mineralogy courses. So chemical composition changes as some elements are used.. sounds almost as bad as the IBM pay at the table patent...
