  1. Re:vs Larrabee on AMD's Fusion Processor Combines CPU and GPU · · Score: 1

    Now that ARM is trying to scale up and and the implementers are shipping SoC's with graphics optimizations, Intel and possible AMD on the other hand whats to do more in the mobile/small devices space. I wonder how this will play out.

    If we can make a copy like above, we can experiment the hell out of it, leave all kinds of parts 'turned off'.

    You aren't hurting a real human, are you ? Hmm, interresting ethics debate that's gonna be.

    I would almost say: if you want to use an old version, talk to company x, they will give support if you pay them.

    Have you ever looked at how WebDAV works ? It's more complicated and I don't think it's very fast.

    I really don't like how they put paths in the XML either, that's just stupid, if you have a proxy, it shouldn't look at the content, just the method/URL and know what is it's for.

    I guess message board could also mean on a BBS, so they would not be available on 'the internet archive'. But judging by the low slashdot id, I doubt he/she is also talking about BBS.

    I don't think they actually still use PetaBox. I they went with Sun, actually, they moved everything to the US as well, their isn't anything of the internet archive in Amsterdam anymore I think.

    What I always think when I read these kinds of number is: but it's probably not there anymore.

    I mean it took billion years for that light to get here, but who knows what could have happend in the meantime. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't exist anymore or was 'way over there' instead of where 'we' have last seen it.

    "I didn't see anyone paying for namespace in p2p networks or on I2P/FreeNet/etc., maybe we don't need to have parent domains?"

    What is really nice about the internet, you don't need domainnames to connect, you can connect with anyone from anywhere, usually, domainnames just make it easier to remember. And most systems which are connected to the internet have something which helps to keep an index. For example many people use something like Google to find websites. If your information is relevant to them, you don't need a domainname, Google will find it. You might need to submit a link to Google though.

    Euh... their are more then 13 routes, their are 13 addresses (prefixes) but their are many, many more routes, most of those 13 prefixes are announced in many places it's called anycast and their aren't just 13 servers either. Every one of them is a cluster of machines and as many use anycast their are multiple clusters per 'root nameserver'.

    I took a look at the Dell Equallogic that we have at work, which had a nice pricetag, also runs Linux. So Linux as a SAN doesn't sound all that stupid. Now I wouldn't expect Dell Equallogic to be the top of the line, but they do have all the 'enterprise features'.

  17. Re:I'm confused, why can't we just ask the HDD? on Vibration Killing Enterprise Disk Performance? · · Score: 1

    I've been looking at the SMART-values, but all I get from smartmontools (probably the best tool for the job) is the Seek_Error_Rate, which is 0 on the drives I checked. But I guess those are just the times it tried and tried again, but could not read the data.

    Isn't this what TRIM is supposed to help prevent ? I do however see developers struggeling to add proper working, possible generic, TRIM-support to their operating systems. As TRIM can be really slow. So when is a good moment to ibject a TRIM-command ?

    You shouldn't be investing in one company anyway, that's the whole point, if you invest, invest in many different companies in different markets in different fields, invest not just in stock but also other things.

  20. Re:Cores vs performance - VMware on AMD Undercuts Intel With Six-Core Phenom IIs · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be surprised if they do so, because it cheaper to just produce the same thing instead of different productionlines and disable some features or disable things on when production fails on a series and sell it for less.

    On the other hand Youtube is filled with people doing HD-video, so I guess it's not such a small fraction of the users anymore, it's very close to mainstream actually.

    I would replace bigger/faster hard drivers with SSD, that's where the real improvements are now, I really hope the prices on those will go down soon.
