Actually we are one of the biggrst SGI customers, having over 2K of their SGI workstations, and over 10 clusters each at least 128 nodes.
I am sorry though i cant tell you the company name (wish i could), but SGI does have a wide customer base from where i stand, and i think they are making good money.
This is the first time i see a shipped linux with this file system. Now the intersting part is that lusterfs is made for linux clusters, but this monster is not a cluster... any body can shed some light?
This sounds intersting, i bet they use samba to communicate with it.
No really, seriously now, NASA would never pahse off as u suggested, first of all i think NASA has a million other things to do rather than flying rockets.They use rockets only to achieve other goals they have, while on the other hand, Brazil, India, China or whatever are yet only thinking on how to get the damn thing to fly.
I met a few ppl who used to work at NASA, damn these people are so damn smart, they make me feel as if i am a rookie,maybe i am.
is so fucked up (excuse my language, but i was pissed of):
SCO and IBM met in federal court in Utah again Tuesday for another go-round over the discovery that IBM hasn't produced in SCO's $5 billion lawsuit against it.
At the hearing, one of SCO's lawyers, another young thing from Boies, Schiller & Flexner whose footwork was smooth enough to impress even Groklaw's IBM-dazzled observers, mentioned the little matter of SCO's days-old Third Amended Complaint, which, alas, is under seal reportedly because it's based on some e-mail that turned up during discovery that IBM now claims is privileged though there's supposedly no hint of attorney-client communication about it.
Anyway, the sealed Third Amended Complaint has to do with SCO's contention that - to compete against Sun - IBM put SCO-owned SVR4 code in System 3-based AIX for its proprietary Power chip architecture - and one of the supposedly compromising IBM e-mails - that SCO just happened to read out loud in court the other day - suggests that IBM was conscious that it had overstepped the bounds of its Project Monterey contract with SCO, which was intended to produce only a version of AIX for Intel's Itanium chip (CSN No 564).
Well, during the Third Amended Complaint discussion, SCO's lawyer held up a piece of paper - that was duplicated on a projection screen that only the magistrate judge, Brooke Wells, could see - that listed all of the AIX code that IBM has and hasn't turned over to SCO. And SCO's lawyer pointed out that the only piece of code that IBM hasn't come up with - which was highlighted in red - was the AIX-on-Power code - to which IBM's lawyer replied that IBM "can't find it."
Shades of the Compuware suit. They "can't find it."
Makes one wonders whether IBM looked in that closet in Australia where it said a few weeks ago it just happened to stumble over the source code - the source code it swore - literally swore in court for two years - didn't exist - the code that it was supposed to produce during the court-ordered discovery phase of the suit that Compuware brought against IBM for, well, for stealing its source code.
IBM only managed to find the code after discovery had closed and the trial was about to start, a situation that it got its ears boxed for by the District Court for Eastern Michigan, which called its behavior "gross negligence."
Magistrate Wells has yet to cross that bridge, however.
After listening to what everybody had to say - and all the reasons why IBM shouldn't have to produce all the rest of the stuff that SCO wants - particularly the IBM Configuration Management and Version Control System (CMVC) and Revision Control System (RCS) that SCO thinks is the key to its case - she reserved any final decision so she could go off and have a think about it - and probably confer with her staff and her colleague Judge Dale Kimball, who's hearing IBM's motion for a partial summary judgment - a decision, IBM pointed out, that might make her ruling moot.
However, she did give IBM and SCO 30 days to exchange so-called privilege logs listing all of the discovery that they're not providing each other because it's allegedly privileged.
She also told IBM to get affidavits from IBM management, including CEO Sam Palmisano, the CTO of IBM's Unix/Linux interests Irving Wladawsky-Berger and IBM's board of directors, attesting that nothing more exists in their files regarding IBM's Linux activities.
See, IBM - having produced one single PowerPoint presentation - contends that there are no other e-mails, memos, business plans or presentations about Linux anywhere in the joint, evidently proving that not only can elephants dance, but that they really do have good memories.
Forgot to metion though that it used to cost about 5 times as much as the whole Visual Studio package, which is a lot of money when u compare both of them.
And by the way, thats not the first time they do it, any one remember KYLIX??:)
since it was version 3, all the way to CBuilder-6(and ofcorse i have used their Borland C compiler before the IDE). I think it is one hell of a devlopment tool, what you do in visual studio in days, can take you hours in CBuilder. With all the drag & drop options, components, and third party objects that were available, it was an extremly easy to use tool. Some drawbacks though were blotted executable, and runtime libraries issues, but they were only a nag and not a major show stopper.
Too bad they had to cut the support.
Personally i think its a very stupid move from their side, CBuilder was their number 1 product, and they are killing it???? That is a true example of shooting your self in the foot.
I think your half right, what really counts in a digital cam is the lense. You can have a 3.3 digital cam from creative, adn the pictures wont be so clear, cause the lense in it really sucks; on the other hand the 1.3 digital cam from HP phtosmart series provied better quality, cause of better lense quality.
" stomped on the brakes as hard as I could and the car finally stopped" he said. Maybe the story is a little short on details, but if you are driving at 120 MPH, and do what he just did, you wont be alive to say the sotry, no matter what car you are driving.
Have to set up their own tools to do so, search engine, email, browser to start with.
Actually i have been asking the question for sometime now, whats stopping google from making their own browser, they should have done that some time ago.

from their Tech.sheet they are using the Luster file system
This is the first time i see a shipped linux with this file system. Now the intersting part is that lusterfs is made for linux clusters, but this monster is not a cluster... any body can shed some light?
failing attempt from /. to perform clonning?
This sounds intersting, i bet they use samba to communicate with it.

From the UCLA "A key attribute of the new technology is that it can produce mid-infrared radiation without any cooling," Jalali said
Now this sounds really intersting, how come they dont need cooling?

I fell on the floor, when i read the popup.
I imagined him riding a space ship with "webserver" written on the side in red and wearing a helmet.
or is this story posted twice, with one of them leaading to an error page. I think the old editors got them a bug here.. something to keep them busy.
But may i as why such a visually intensive project does not have any snapshots, pictures..
Besides the babe who is trying to imagine there is a cube...
Dont you just love those latin cool new computer names... :)
Where its going to be much cheaper not to shower!!
kid: "Mooom, can I smell now, pleaaasseee"
Mom: "No honey we havent paid yet, hold on your breath for 5 more minuts"
Well this submission made me read the /. FAQ for the 1st time :)
Its a EVLFAQ,Extremly Very Long FAQ..
have a look and tell us what you think
" stomped on the brakes as hard as I could and the car finally stopped" he said. Maybe the story is a little short on details, but if you are driving at 120 MPH, and do what he just did, you wont be alive to say the sotry, no matter what car you are driving.
Thats what it says on its specs sheet "Cray HPC-enhanced Linux, Kernel version 2.4.21"
I think its wise they went with the 2.4 kernel though, but i wonder what is this cray linux, never heared of it.
Actually this is banned in soccer. The teams uniforms have specific guidelines to follow when desiging.
that soon enough someone is gonna tell us that
Google is DYING
really, it is, i like it. But where is the Leg funny logo.
but i think this was pulished http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/08/ 1743201&tid=204&tid=10
here before.
Well i think a company that has this vision :
"Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."
Have to set up their own tools to do so, search engine, email, browser to start with.
Actually i have been asking the question for sometime now, whats stopping google from making their own browser, they should have done that some time ago.
what about you guys
