I used to run a development server that thanks to highly creative IT rules, had to be internet facing. In six months we learned "dev.app.department.corporation.com" got hammered because the word "dev" made some script kiddies salivate.
We found however, that "fbihoneypot.app.department.corporation.com" largely got untouched.
You sure could use a 1k psu if you're powering several video cards, max out all the drive bays etc.
The problem with a standard desktop machine is that there's no place in the apple mindset for them. users who want that kind of flexibility don't make up a significant portion of the overall market.
OTOH, users who need such features are people who can spring for a pro.
You're talking about systems that have CPUs that cost upwards of 1600 bucks each. With one CPU plus motherboard plus case plus ram plus an upgraded psu to match spec for spec on a pro comes up to about the same price and you haven't even factored in disk, video card or peripherals.
A Mac Pro is relatively priced with its competitors.
The only thing that blows is that Apple nor AMD nor nvidia is interested in support for newer gpus. But if that's your bend, you're probably just going to bootcamp anyway and use whatever gpu you'd like.
I thought he was complaining that the Internet is a worse place because so many people are on it, it isn't just stuffed full of warez and llama porn anymore and perhaps to keep sites he doesmt like operational, they're selling ads.
I'm sorry the internet isn't what he wants it to be but heh, that's life. We all gotta grow up sometime.
No. This isn't about raw bandwidth. This is also about the supporting infrastructure.
It makes no sense to try to support edge use cases. It also makes no sense to let a handful of users take down service because some person wanted to run a torrent tracker.
Yes there's an oversell, but no, it's not as bad as you think.
ISPs banned servers because as it turned out, letting customers do so clobbered their infrastructure.
Also, I quite like being able to file my taxes online and watch tv with out having to hit some malware laden death trap.
I agree darknets are great for the reason you describe, being able to go underground is great, but we already decided that anyone can come online and I find it ironic that some geeks are bitching about the fact that some of those people are Involved in commerce and the government.
Bandwidth isn't free, servers aren't free. Time isn't free. Someone's got to pay the bills. I'm sorry wanting to eat got in the way of your spoiled child dIatri e.
Besides, I kind of like what we have now. I'm not thrilled with sopa/pipa or what not. But hey, I have real social networking. Real time collaboration.
Hey. Don't let the progress of the last decade and a half stop your little rant. I'm sorry you can't get all the warez you want. Maybe you'll grow up someday and realize how foolish you are.
Actually that's a plus. It'd be nice to be able to play social board games like tcgs and not worry about what I'm going to do with my cards after no one else is playing.
Probably. But they'll probably use a POWER7 based CPU instead of an AMD x86 CPU. Given how much Cell influenced POWER7, I'd actually say that's a huge likelyhood they'd go POWER instead of x86.
Err, no. Vib.ly was shut down by the Libyan Government for violating it's local laws.
Bodog was advertising itself in the US, in fact, it was hard to drive down I-15 in Vegas with out seeing a dozen tasteless bodog billboards. They were doing this intentionally to skirt federal online gambling laws.
To those who don't see a problem with unregulated gaming, read up on the history of organized crime and gambling. The Nevada Gaming Commission exists for a goddamned reason.
I don't think so. I think that there's still a good reason to have the desktop. The problem is that there's no good harmony between the desktop metaphor and Metro.
I think Apple and Canonical get it right where they have a clear understanding that a general purpose computer isn't a tablet, phone, or gaming console. Unity might be watered down and kind of a pain in the ass for those like us, but when you come to the thing with a very trimmed down set of expectations of how to interact with a computer, iOSified Lion and Unity make more sense. Granted, Canonical made the mistake of forcing Unity on install, but, overall? Metro just seems like a bad idea for the desktop.
Despite all of that though, it's a refreshing step forward for Microsoft who's realizing that their desktop metaphor kinda sucks.
Actually the story broke because The Daily Caller, which while an online outlet, did investigative journalism and found out what was going on. Besides, the news is like, only a day old and broke during a primary that might have made or broke the Romney campaign.
I'm not saying that ABC, Fox, NBC, CBS, et al aren't asleep at the switch. I'm just saying that comparing what Wikileaks does to investigative journalism means you have no goddamned idea what exactly is going on in the world of investigative journalism.
You're really stretching here to justify your complete apathy towards real news and paying attention. Cynicism is part of the reason why the 2012 campaign might hinge on gay rights and abortion rather than things like say, the fact that Republican party really does NOT have any CLUE how economics work or that they have no real agenda to fix social problems.
Actually no, the Constitution actually makes explicit "aid and comfort to the enemies thereof." He just wasn't advocating anti-American violent jihad, he was also training, preparing and supporting actual violent jihad against America.
So where was the censure of the Clinton administration?
Sure, that's true if you want to believe the lie that's being perpetrated. But investigative journalism is still happening and is being severely undermined by lazy intellectuals who really don' t want to have to change their opinion based on facts and research. Facts can be so cold and uncaring towards outrage.

Depends.

Seriously? Go part for part one Mac pro.

Actually no.

Once you get a feel for typesetting and some understanding of how print is laid out, these things become even more important than before.

Next time read that phone book of a user agreement.
It never makes any promises of uptime, available throughput, etc.
Also, no ISPs cant predict who's going to ransack their back haul. Especially in wireless.
It's like saying you should be able to go to w buffet nd take the entire steam tray of linguini.
I've worked for two ISPs.
No. This isn't about raw bandwidth. This is also about the supporting infrastructure.

Macau is in the PRC. It is most certainly regulated.
Advertising online gambling is still illegal in Nevada.
POWER7/8 with AMD engineering and GPU tech?
I'll buy like 9.
Probably. But they'll probably use a POWER7 based CPU instead of an AMD x86 CPU. Given how much Cell influenced POWER7, I'd actually say that's a huge likelyhood they'd go POWER instead of x86.
Ha ha. No.
Nevada legalized gambling in 1931. The Nevada Gaming Commission didn't come into being until 1959 after the Mormons cleaned house.
Are you for fucking real?
Seriously you want to pretend like nothing wrong has EVER happened in the past with regards to gaming?
Err, no. Vib.ly was shut down by the Libyan Government for violating it's local laws.

And we go to Senator Vreenak for a response...
"Whoosh".
Thanks, Senator.
No Deep Space Nine on Blu Ray. Last thing they need Ipis for the resolution to be good enough to tell that ...
IT'S A FAAAAAAKE
