  1. Re:SMB on SoHo NAS With Good Network Throughput? · · Score: 4, Informative

    One more thing: if it says gigabit ethernet, for me that usually means anywhere between 200-800Mbps of speed on a fairly busy network, which should suffice for large data backups in a matter of say 2-5 minutes tops for moving several gigs. Your throughput really depends on other factors, so yours may be higher or lower than mine but typically that range should suffice with the proper switching and routing equipment.

  2. SMB on SoHo NAS With Good Network Throughput? · · Score: 0

    The network is mostly OS X and Linux with one Windows machine (for compatibility testing)

    Well it looks like SMB is your best bet for compatibility. For a budget, just go with a small Linksys or Cisco device, as you can specify the hard drive and the network around it governs the speed.

  5. Re:congratulations on iPhone Tops Windows Mobile Share; MS Releases iPhone App · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well they ported some portions of Linux(sorry fanboys) to the iPhone, apparently enough to at least boot it and use it without sound, touch, wireless or any other major iPhone pluses.

    And as far as it being a 'real donkey punch' to the industry, MS actually writing an app for it pretty much confirms this, although they have also written ads in Flash despite marketing Silverlight :p.

  6. Re:Red Article? on Chinese Automaker Unveils First Electric Car · · Score: 1

    I would like to know the reason behind the red articles too, as this has been reported several times now, once even visible by me. I think it might have to do with the fact that there are no comments (in the cache) at the exact moment we view the front page, or because it is brand spanking new.

    Taco and Hemos haven't commented since Idle was announced, so if somebody has any idea as to what this is please - do tell.

  10. Armagetron on Great Games To Put On a Free PC? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Armagetron - its a great game based on the Disney movie Tron, very fun and addicting. Even better is that it is available with fully networkable clients for Mac, Linux and Windows so anyone can play with anybody given they have the game for their platform and a network switch.

    The game is a clean, competitive one that can be monitored via server. Comes in the Ubuntu package repositories by default.

  11. Re:lack of understanding of the biz model on Is MySQL's Community Eating the Company? · · Score: 1

    Again, its not just MySQL: OpenOffice vs. StarOffice, Solaris vs. OpenSolaris. I really hope they aren't shooting themselves in the foot, because the community projects are seldom as popular as the proprietary version, although it may be too soon to judge this for OpenSolaris yet it is steadily gaining more popularity at a higher rate than Solaris/SunOS did.

  12. Re:How could we blame sun on Is MySQL's Community Eating the Company? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Nevermind Sun's recent layoffs. I'm just waiting for them to start asking for a bailout (since we're on the topic of cars here).

    As far as Sun's proprietary MySQL goes, I'm sure it will be just as popular in comparison to the open MySQL as their StarOffice is to OpenOffice, another community product eating away at the company. The only distro I'm aware of that comes stock with StarOffice is Solaris, which is losing whatever popularity it had to OpenSolaris, another community-driven product quickly gaining popularity.

    I'm lost as far as a solution to this goes, but Sun needs to do something before this gets out of hand and they start losing their company.

    It is being highly promoted, only for MS to start pushing 7 (really 6.1) next year. "Buy that one buy that no! stop! buy this one now yeah this one!" - I would hate to be buying or receiving a computer for Christmas, only for 7 to come out and have to upgrade for an additional fee.

  17. Re:Microsoft's Turd on Vista To XP Upgrade Triples In Price, Now $150 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Windows Vista in a virtual machine running atop ubuntu linux on my machine (2GB RAM, fast I/O, 1.6Ghz dual core) is slower than almost every version of Windows before Vista running on my same machine in virtual machines.

    Windows 7 beta is somewhat better, though, because when running in a VM it is much faster than vista with half the resources, default settings, and incredibly fast-yet-shiny although the VMWare display drivers were funky running on it.

    Windows logo("Super" key)+r launches the run dialog, then type the first few letters of a command - for example 'cmd', 'notepad', or 'http://$SITE' and autocomplete from there. This has been the case for at least since Windows 98, and even if there is no autocomplete on the OS the commands aren't all that hard to type.

    About 100-200ms depending on caffeine consumption minus typos. Another area where Vista is reinventing the wheel, badly. Can be made fun of like: "reinventing the wheel as a square", or "reinventing the 'wheel'" (root's group in Unix, UAC/security joke) :D.

  19. Re:I don't get it on Vista To XP Upgrade Triples In Price, Now $150 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Honestly, my biggest problem with Vista is that it appears MS is going to strand us Vista users and come out with Windows 7 next year with no affordable upgrade path.

    This is why the "Mojave" commercials sicken me. Yes, Vista had slightly more criticism than its worth at times, but why is MS upping the marketing on an OS soon to be replaced? "buy that one! buy that one! NO WAIT buy this one now! No - this one!"

    Poor sheeple are going to panic.
