I think it is actually that big... they are just creaming the market... why charge 10k when you have enough people willing to pay 200k to get you started and test out the system... when you have grown enough, decrease price gradually... it is a more sound business plan... if you ask me though, if they can get the price to $100, it is even is better:)
I believe you mean this a quad core antihelium, with capacity of processing simultaneously up to 4 anti particles tasks (anti neutrons and anti protons)... if they keep it up we may have an anti matter quantic computer soon:)... I don't know what the heck it would achieve but definitely sounds awesome:)
Anonymous, I believe you signed a non fire non quit clause on your job... you are stuck with slashdot the rest of your life. Besides, slashdot would not be the same without you lol
Lol, this is hilarious... I guess we could let the joke go on..... and that triggers an angry rant from one of the table that says, ah drop it, had a bad day, I have been out in the field for a transaction that went wrong... I guess I hade been out too long wasn't updated on how corrupt they had become... I had no backup plan, so I think I am out of order
>Everyone knows that if you drive a car far enough, it will run out of energy
except if you have an electric wire long enough, a tesla remote electric beam directed at the vehicle or a tube long enough going into a gas station;)... though I odn't expect many people will be able to say so:)
Or bad faith on the operator part... skype for example is not available on my phone and it is a free app available all over the rest of the world... just because they don't want voip apps on phones they provide
Well among others Larry Ellison might be interested in what oracle wants... but whether he is sane or not is a long debate which probably will get different answers from different people (sometimes from the same person):)... a couple of DB admins/ ex sun clients stuck with oracle products might be very carefully studying oracle next moves.
But what's wrong with having images of servers ready as a viable disaster recovery strategy?
yes I agree it is good to know the system inside out. yes I agree that it's not because a simple minor server process configuration screwup that you should reimage the whole server... but sometimes it may be either time saving at a point where users need the servers immediately. sometimes it might actually be more secure and stable to restore from an image that has been tested for months rather than making tons of changes under the hood... especially if it is a system that has not been documented, where the last changes were made years ago... by diagnostic-ing the server under time constraints, it is possible to mess things up even more. It's not necessarily a pissing context... well I can fix my server without re-imaging in this case.
Now, if the problem occurs regularely and reimaging and putting blinds to the problem... then yes, I agree imaging is wrong. Yes, it is a good thing to do thing to know what is happening, find the problem... and most problems don't necessarily reimaging
my point is it is not necessarily a bad thing to restore a server from an image if you do things right... it may save time, be more secure and save tons in productivity/money.
I like eudora's approach to strip attachment automatically... much easier to back up... attachments are all in one directory and still human readable... too bad eudora is dead (I know of penelope... and it's still light years behind eudora's features... though to be fair some plus come with using thunderbird)
Slashdot Mirror
Galaxy S androids? or r2 d2 type :)?

but maybe I got this wrong :)
heck I even liked the big rotary dials with the extensible extension cord... but maybe that's just me.
soon, when we buy a phone, we'll ask... hey, is a phone included with that? :)
>Whats "Attachmate"?
I think it's a friend who's needy... we all have one of those ;)
alternatively, it may be a BDSM position... not sure, not an expert in the field :)

I've signed a non-compete, do I get a /. article?

keep in mind most people reuse passwords accross accounts... getting one may allow to get in somewhere else not currently possible.

AC power? what's this about anonymous coward power? ;)

Thanks for the tip, I'm printing b usiness cards with that :)... with half a dozen professions that way if she does not like it, she can pick :)
Not sure by what amount, but I believe it also changes when some people fart too ;)
Watch out, last time I saw this happen, the computer became self aware (electric dreams if anyone remembers :) )
I believe next step is either a monolith or lucy in the sky with diamonds ;)
am I the only one who thought it was more news about google's smarphone/tablet platform? :)
androids are cool... but definitely fooled me for half a second
naturally cooled habitat at -20c ... 1 second away from earth... roundtrip tip may suck for wallstreet but could be fun

the next Betty Boop Bono copyright extension act will bring her right back into copyright land
Isn't that planetary politics.. thus in theory part of politics?

I thought the game started with knock knock, who's there? :)
How likely is it to catch a Extraterrestrial bimbo sunbathing nude with that :)
