Um, exactly what I said, you repeated. NASA wanted to make a new launch platform, congress said they had to reuse existing shuttle parts, mainly the SRBs because the Utah senator who has the SRB plant in his district thinks he knows better than NASA what NASA needs for space flight. Therefore, Ares was a failure from the get-go as the SRB is an awful design, and if it wasn't originally pork, would have never caused the Challenger loss. The whole cause of the Challenger loss was the o-rings, which were a requirement as the SRB is made in Utah, and has to be trucked down to Canaveral, rather than being made as one piece in TX or FL and shipped over on a boat.
Yes, congress hamstrings NASA, and then wonders why projects can't work.
In other news, bad programmers can write bad drivers/software. OMG this is such a new thing.
Windows BSODs when a driver crashes, this is nothing new as Windows doesn't write the drivers. Software that runs as a service can also cause a BSOD, as well as hardware that is misbehaving. This happens just as much in Mac OSX, and Linux, it is just that they typically write their own drivers, so it is less of an issue. I had a Bluetooth headset which would kernel panic Mac OSX, so it isn't impossible to do.
So, if Windows 7 licenses are sold, counting them as sold is wrong? I am not understanding this. If I sell you Office 2010, and you install Office 2007, how is it that I can't count that as me selling you Office 2010? It doesn't matter if you install XP/Vista, even though Windows 7 runs so much better in every way, Microsoft still sold you a Windows 7 license.
The feelings of the users is what is the impetus for having a study to see if it is a real effect, or just a feeling. The summary says they will be having a study, not that there has been a study.
Dr. Whitbourne intends to conduct a series of studies looking into the value of gaming for older audiences.
Except the idea is not to lift tons of stuff, but a pipe that pumps the stuff up and sprays it. The balloon only needs to lift the pipe and the fluid in the pipe at any time, not the total of the fluid pumped up over the course of the project.
So, you want the WISP to force all their customers into upgrading their equipment? Or do you expect them to do it like the cell phone companies and spend a few billion on more spectrum to roll out a new system, then reclaim the old spectrum?
Allow me to translate: we haven't paid for enough bandwidth to cope with the demands of all of our clients.
How does one increase the bandwidth on a wireless frequency exactly? The reason that the WISP can't cope is that it is sharing a frequency among many people, there is no way to increase the bandwidth of the frequency.
Cameron isn't not making Gunnm because he is lazy, he is holding off until the technology is to the level needed to make it the way he wants. Would you rather he did it badly, or very well?
That is why Google is trying to fight this. If they can get a ruling on this being legal, then there is nothing stopping you from using that very same ruling in court if someone tries to go after you. Precedent doesn't only apply to Google, it applies to you and me as well. Precedent is one way of changing the law to fit the real world, another way is getting the legislature to pass a new law, which do you think it easier/cheaper?
High end Dell servers can hotswap memory, daughter boards, hard drives, power supplies, fans. I don't think anyone can hotswap CPUs though, but I could be wrong. Dell even offers RAID 1 memory, though I can't imagine why you would do that.
I would remind your friend that artists make very little money on CD sales. This is why you see the publishers going after teenage girls, not an artist. Artists make money performing, and so many artists have started giving away their songs as mp3, to increase interest in the band, and therefore increase their income.
sport package with automatic transmission? What idiotic car company are you speaking of?
Not that it is any way a sports car...but I had to buy the Camry SE (Sport Edition) to even be able to get a clutch. Clutch nowadays is a sporty feature, and rather hard to get (in the US at least...maybe you are UK?)
Then buy Dell, HP, whoever. Servers don't come with the bloat as generally, servers come blank.
I look at system76.com, click servers, click configure, go to hard drives and wonder who the hell needs a 500gb system drive? They don't even offer 160GB drives for the system, how is that custom? I thought maybe they just aren't sold anymore, then checked Newegg, and look, you can buy tiny drives if you want! So yeah...not a very good custom house when you can't split the system and data drives on a server...
Since the article is about datacenters, and that would mean business, who even uses the OEM copy of Windows? What company that uses Windows doesn't have Open Licensing?
What large company doesn't have a company image they blow onto new desktops/servers?
I read the first two comments and immediately recognized that they were made by people who have never unboxed a server before. When I get in the servers from Dell, Oracle (Sun), Supermicro, whoever, they don't even have the RAID setup. Why would I want the monkey who assembles servers for Dell to setup the RAID, inevitably they don't set it up how I want it for the server I am building.
Sometimes being a systems administrator requires understanding that not every problem can be solved with a hammer. Linux does not make a good email server. Linux is ok at DNS, but it is not as easy to manage as Windows. Linux is very good at web servers. Linux is awful at Active Directory. Being a good systems administrator means that you recognize where different systems are good, and where others work better.

Meanwhile, Linux and OSX crash as well as I just explained. Please enlighten me on how a poorly written driver is somehow MS making a mistake.

This concerns me greatly...

That is because he didn't have to actually write any articles...
I can see the /. editors being able to use an iPad, all they do is hit approve :)

Some people would find that erotic...
Most of that is caused by POTUS and Congressmen who somehow think because they were elected into office, they must be smarter than rocket scientists.

perpetual motion machine patents ... patent office has long stopped granting them unless there's a working demonstration available.
Very cute...when they find one, let me know.
(just wish there was a cheaper way to buy it than from tourist traps).
There is hope, according to that Wikipedia article:
Freeze-dried ice cream is sold by mail order
Now to find out who you order it from :)
