There doesn't have to be an inconsistency with Cerebro. The Cerebro in First Class looks more like a first gen beta version. Magneto could have helped build the other one.
I had a (well known and respected) professor in college who used to use spreadsheets to build neural networks. After seeing that, I gained a lot of respect for both the man and the tool.
Amen to that! I have found the major applications that I need, However, the many annoying interface 'features' are really irritating me. I can only sort contacts by first name, I can't type in initials to get a contact, calDAV not supported natively, quick contacts cannot be renamed, I could go on and on....
The Sun/Oracle Niagra II cpu is an 8 core, 8 thread per core cpu, and they put 4 physical cpu's in a box. That's 256 virtual cpus (and up to 512GB ram) in a 4u chassis. They've been shipping for 2 years.
I knew a man who played the system quite well when leaving a job. He gave three months notice on his resignation letter, and they immediately revoked his access and escorted him from the building, but had to keep paying him for the three months.
I sure am glad my OS and hardware can detect and correct memory errors on the fly and disable the dimms if need be. I know this is a linux-fest, but Solaris fault management is pretty awesome. I've seen it detect a failing cpu, evacuate the memory attached to it and disable the cpu without a hiccup.
Mod This up! I have a hard time looking at the stats on new cars and see nothing but HP improvements, not MPG improvements. For example, I had a '89 Mustang GT with 225 HP, and it was fast enough to be dangerous. I could shift out of 2nd gear at 75 mpg, and spin the tires in 3 gears. It got (for the time) decent mileage, namely 18 in the city, close to 25 on the highway. Fast forward 20 years, and the new mustangs get THE SAME MILEAGE, but have 300+ horsepower. The government can mandate all they want, but until people's attitudes change, horsepower sells more cars than MPG.
Put your test machines in a VM already. That way you can use the same hw to test multiple different OS/browser combinations. That will eliminate the HW cost. You still have the time for testing.
And if possible, enlist a couple of those who use IE6 (or can't switch away) and make them a deal - you will continue to support IE 6 if they will help test the site for you.
Were you watching the same presentation I was? I'm a Sun employee, and I (and others in my office) liked what we saw, and wanted more. I can't speak for others, but I'm looking forward to being part of Oracle. He wants to hire MORE engineers, not get rid of talent. He wants to use the compete stack of hw/sw/apps to succeed and beat a certain 3 letter company that has been spewing the FUD.
Not does it just contain ECC for each block, but the ECC for the block is not contained within the block, so you don't run into problems with self consistent but still bad blocks.
By buying Sun, Oracle gets a bunch of software. But OpenSolaris, MySQL, Java, and OpenOffice were all already open-source. Well, nothing was stopping them from selling customers a setup that used MySQL, Java, and OpenOffice, even before they bought Sun. That's what IBM does already. You could argue that Oracle gets more control now over these things.
Not only that, but they don't have to reinvent the wheel with a support organization for those products. They just bought one. Sun Support has always been a money maker for Sun.
(Caveat: I work for Sun Support. I personally am looking forward to being Oracle. Much better than having to take the Blue Pill(TM) of IBM)
Sun is as much a SOFTWARE company as a hardware company. Sun makes a TON of money licensing Java, and while Sun 'gives away' much of its software, support contracts on that software rake in a pretty penny as well.
Sun does not have 'free' versions and 'for fee' versions of software. Most of Sun's software is offered free for download & commercial use, you just pay if you want support. Our CEO has stated publicly that it is his goal to eventually have ALL of our software open sourced and free for use, but some of our software has licensing (between Sun and other companies) keep that from happening right now.
It won't take too long. Sun's T2 chip has 64 threads, and the T5440 that I have at the office has 4 chips in it, for 256 threads, all in a 4u chassis. Granted, it doesn't run windows, but seriously CMT chips are out and growing fast. BTW, the T2 cpu is only about an inch quare, and it's only done on 65nm tech, not even 40nm.
Adobe really irritates me with some of the strange seeming choices they make. Flash works fine on Solaris 10, both x68 & sparc, but Adobe hasn't updated Acrobat Reader for Solaris x86 since Acrobat 5, but the sparc version is up to date.
Sorry for tirade, but I am so tired of people bashing the CDDL, especially when they are probably using a browser that falls under the license that CDDL was based on. CDDL is nothing more than the Mozilla license with the Mozilla specific stuff removed. If you are going to bash CDDL, then I kindly invite you to remove firefox from your system and start using wget.

This is probably the most wise statement that will be spoken in this thread. Learn this lesson above all else.
That Star Wars Kid from a fews years back is finally gonna get his revenge once Star Wars comes out and he can use the Kinect controller.

Fermentation is pretty much an anaerobic reaction - No oxygen required. The C02 is a byproduct of turning sugars into alcohol.
No. We should refer to her as Prince. That should irritate them both.

The 'feeding rice to birds will make them swell up & explode' is a myth. snopes even says so.

Remember, Sun bought out PostGreSQL a while back. Now Oracle will have it AND MySQL
