I love the cloud moniker, because its the perfect description. Eventually either the data escapes and pours out of the cloud or just outright evaporates into thin air. You get what you get if you put important data in a 'cloud.'
He's talking about the iPad quip. The iPad complaints and references to it as a 'consumption' device have absolutely nothing to do with the next iteration of Windows, by including this as part of the response it shows a disconnect from the reality of the community of us that aren't astroturfing comments on a website for compensation other than perhaps dumbass ego trips. Hell, I can almost guarantee it has more to do with Android tablets or just simply not giving a shit about an oversized touchscreen phone when we already have a regular touchscreen phone plus a laptop/desktop for real work.
That is one big PITA situation you will run into in the IT field, the managers who are tech savvy, but not IT best practices savvy, who will setup their own servers and run software that does magical shit behind the scenes. Six months later, users come to IT complaining that some random tool isn't working, and IT is all 'what the FUCK are you talking about?' and discovers a gaping hole in their wired network that cannot be plugged, we essentially have to assimilate the tool(s) and server into the network if it has enough positive business use among enough employees (or enough high level mgmt types, or the CEO and his secretary only), regardless of how it doesn't fit into the existing infrastructure.
L4D2 was essentially a mod to the original L4D, so of course it didn't take long. That and the storyline is half-assed. And there are few maps and all of the maps are strictly linear with minimal need for exploration.
Also, while I do agree to an extend with the premise of the article, Stardock is essentially direct competition to Steam/Valve, so take Brad Wardell's comments with a grain of salt. Not to say I don't like Stardock and didn't have a few minutes of game fever with Sins of a Solar Empire.
UN does not mean it needs to be primarily US troops, in fact, based on proximity to Europe and the US being tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan, it makes more sense to use a predominately EU based force.
Yeah, besides, at the price of a frac T1, they could just get multiple DSL/cable providers and setup a pfsense box to handle traffic management and have an overall bandwidth surplus, and dynamically allocate gaming across the connections based on latency.
No, he's just realistic about it. Its not anal penetration prevention, its just protection for the anal cavity itself during the inevitable penetration.
I predict a bunch of people will spout a bunch of insignificant bullshit justifications as to why one or another is wrong.
Open source needs 'more training' only in the way a new technology from Microsoft will need more training. As different aspects of daily computing life are acclimated to open source tools, it becomes much more difficult to apply up front costs to proprietary software that has similar functionality. The only reason an open source tools will cost more to integrate into a Microsoft environment would be deliberate obfuscation of integration tools and APIs on Microsofts part (which is their right to do with their software as the see fit, up to the point of not making false claims about the capabilities and interoperability between themselves and third parties).
This sounds like a bullshit attempt to dilute the Wikileaks influence, additionally there is nothing 'open' about this, they are in truth more closed than Wikileaks. Autopublish EVERYTHING without regard, then they can call themselves openleaks.
Ad agencies with a lot of Mac infrastructure disagree. OS X server is a stable beast on the Xserve hardware. This is a giant fuck you to companies that went with a Mac OS X infrastructure (Open Directory, XSan, AFP and SMB file services on a single machine). 8+ cores and 16GB ram and its a hell of a machine to use for production AND even run several VMs, without any real performance degradation.
I actually liked the overpriced son of a bitch xserve.
Looking back at my own life, I had free reign beyond belief but still had the sense (and perhaps fear?) to not do bad shit. The kids that were doing the worst shit were the ones whose parents were the most oppresive, those kids learned real quick how to have dual personalities and hide things from the parents with gusto.
What 'good' combat scenes? The sniper scene was 'cool' but it felt completely out of place for a bomb disposal unit SOLO out in the desert (WTF?). The bomb defuse scenes were all cowboy, edge of the seat but viewers simply don't get the foreboding terror involved, felt like something was really missed. The whole presentation and marketing of this movie was about the realism it portrayed, the premise from the directors and producers was realism. This simply wasn't a good movie. Let's split up so we can get shot alone. Really?

In my day, we called that "installing" a program. Sideloading? Really? What has the world come to? DRM-ified nonsense.
Yeah but it would be easier to get Mac users to do something like that. "Steve Jobs says turn on No-Script"
Just stay off our 5-digit lawns.

Like hell I can't, ask TMZ not to post a pick of a sickly Steve Jobs with some hookers and we'll see how that stacks up.

Problem is, this is greed, but not stupidity.
heat was for noobs, KALI FOREVER!
"They" are trying to turn wikileaks into the new imaginary Al Qaeda boogeyman.

Radio, television, cable, dvrs, and bluray ARE the odd men out when put up against the internet.
You mean the days of Something Awful, before it went paywall.

You obviously have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. Read and comprehend.
2 Load balanced web servers, 3 database servers, and, drum roll, AKAMAI CDN.
