AND they can cluster them together - real clusters not failover.
No Linux though:(.
Linux-ha + some scripts is as good as wolfpack.

Linux Failover?

· Score: 1
The Linux HA stuff is pretty much as functional as the standard MS Wolfpack. I.e. It isn't really clustering at all.
You can failover IP addresses, you can fail over disks on a shared bus, you can replicate blocks across a LAN, you can automatically stop and start 'resources' with a little careful scripting but it isn't a *real* cluster.
For that you would have to be able to run applications on multiple machines which had simultaneous read and write access to shared resources like databases or file systems. For this to work you have to be able to lock resources on all the machines in the cluster simultaneously. A lock request generated on one system would have to be communicated to all the others before being granted or denied.
I'm really sorry but when it comes to the various claims that NASA makes about the future of space exploration I become highly skeptical.
My first point is that the project will be wildly over budget and excruciatingly late. I would estimate that the project will be approximately three times over budget and take three times as long as NASA initially estimate. Therefore assuming that they start today, we shall not see the first functioning light sail ship until 2030.
In fact the huge budget overspend will mean that the project will probably never be completed and will be cancelled due to the US congress continually seeking to make spending cuts.
Sorry to put a damper on things but this seems to be how NASA operates.
The EULA exe doesn't control access to the PDF file. It's simply a zip file which has been turned into an executable.
Simply by unzipping the file with winzip, the PDF is available which means that the EULA exe cannot possibly be described as 'a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work'. The file must by definition be a normal zip file or winzip would be unable to extract the PDF file.
To me this means that the DMCA simply does not apply to the document!

Is just linking to sites containing copyrighted material now against the law in America?
Whoowee. Land of the free and all that.
I'd be very suprised if it was illegal to use quotations from a copyrighted document. It would be impossible for and information based society to function if that were the case.
IANAL and know nothing of US copyright law but I suspect that they don't have a leg to stand on.

I see the trolling as a response to the broken moderation system. There is some very weird moderation going on; Perfectly valid comments and points ending up as flaimbait etc.
Too many cooks spoil the broth. Same goes for moderators and moderation points.

Data General have been doing this for years. IBM are way slow on this.

Linux just can't do this yet.
