  1. Re:A sales pitch and a loaded gun on How Internet Data Centers Waste Power · · Score: 1

    The latest installment is describing how one particular Microsoft data center is relying on inefficient diesel generators substantially increasing air pollution in the area.

    So no, I don't think the owners of large data centers are in a big hurry to address these issues. They have other priorities.

  2. Re:On a small-scale, virtualize on How Internet Data Centers Waste Power · · Score: 1

    What IBM is selling is a consultancy service--IBM will solve your problems for you, and IBM will charge through the nose for it. What the benchmarkers want is the data so that they can draw their own conclusions.

    I don't really understand this hostility. I read the New York Times online, everyday. I don't get a paper delivered to my door. Those few, those happy few who actually read this new york times article, read it online.

    The circulation is a million pulp, half a million online.

    What's the point of defining democracy out of existence if you're going to insist on "representation" this early in the game?

  7. Re:Ballots should be secret, not in the Constituti on Federal Judge Says No Right To Secret Ballot, OKs Barcoded Ballots · · Score: 1

    There's no right to vote in the constitution either. If the state deigns to allow some people to vote, it can't exclude on the basis of age, sex, race or failure to pay a tax, but other than that, it's fair game.

    s this LINPACK metric something that exercises the Crey's massive pipeline architecture, where huge arrays of numbers (the vectors) were operated on at lightning speed through pipeline (assembly line-style) chip design? Or is it just a looping test?

    Now that's a stupid question

    The Debt is what matters. Everything else, in age of austerity, pales in comparison. We need to find joy in despair. We need to find wisdom in the void. Only then will we know the truth.

    Fuck, I just got this iPad,and you're telling me it doesn't do panorama? Sigh. Anyone want a slightly used 16GB wifi tablet? Sadly, it has the A5X, instead of the A6, but the relentless march of progress doesn't stop for stragglers.
