I thought so too, only I was talking with IBM and HP, and they claimed that they require ventilation in the front and back in their service contracts. And I have servers in a datacenter with the same setup you describe. I guess I have to take them on a tour of the center to make a deal with them.:)
That was exactly what I was thinking too. The idea of allowing people with limited resources to spread (knowledge of) their stuff, never really happened the way it has with BitTorrent. Even with the possibility of inclusion of the links. Just placing their files on a p2p network without the usage of a web page to promote it won't do much when people don't know what to search for.
How on earth do they cool those servers?, the front is solid and there's no holes for air anywhere in front of the computers. Maybe they have made holes in the side of them since there seems to be a bit of space between them. But you don't see many computer companies that support racks with solid doors anymore.
I am still trying to figure out their licensing. All I want is RHEL WS and ES, and being able to use their update system. So they say it costs $349 for basic subscription. Does anyone know if that is pr. year or there's another price for the following years?
As an outsider who has only visited the US a couple of times, it always seemed to me that the attitude, opinion, rules, what you can and can't do on tv, did not reflect the people I talked to. I mean, if someone said or did something on TV, the reaction would be "they can do that on TV?", rather than being truly offended. It seemed to me that the rules and culture on TV and what was acceptable or normal, were very different from the real world.
Indeed to the most of Europe(at least in the western part where I live), it makes a talkshow seems silly and (looking for another word) stupid/a joke/laughed at. All the shows always has subtitles where all the [bleep]ed out words are written, sometimes in English. Also, after many years with a strange facination of everything American(late 80s and up to early 90s), these days local music and tv shows are more popular that ever. American shows are still big, but homemade shows are not anymore seen as second class. I find that both comedy, action/serious shows are more interesting because they reflect the real world and not the pseudo "real" world that different regulations. Because of this, people are generally dividing most American shows into 2 categories, the ones that only travels in the "nice" universe, no bad words, not really touching anything dangereous, and then the shock type shows that tries to break out much the same way as kids test their parents by breaking the rules. Uh, they said a f. word.
Most often the are cool at the most. But here the design in the game has been transferred to the casing. When I looked at the green water in the glass, I thought, "I hope it serves as cooling also". And it did. Very nicely done.
As they say in Germany "ich habe gemüse in das leiderhosen". Which means that it might be looking like new fancy things but it is still the same old clothes. Kinda like the Swedish "min trusse lugter af tis",, it's new but then again, it's not.
Is it a case of someone applying existing technologies like smoothing to the hardware layer if you look into what's really going on?
Bah! I am on call 24/7, people NEED to be able to reach me and I have my phone on in the cinema, but of course I mute it to vibration only and to out side to answer it. But since the pager network were closed down here a few years ago, the cell phone is the only way people can connect to me.
Don't be so narrow minded.
Plenty of people needs to be available. Doctors, fire fighters, people waiting for a organ transplant, technicians at your small hosting company. Specially those working in small towns or companies do not have the luxury of having on site staff 24/7 (that goes for all on the list above).
The problem with the cinema is that I just give the number to the cinema and have them contact me, like at a resturant.
Yes, but how did it go with Sony and their closed format players, even they have decided to open up and support other formats.And the only solution to his junk would be to ban the players or,,,, make then only eat MS DRM files. But the cat's out of the bag. I only hope is people will demand to be able to move their data between any platform they need and reject closed standards. But I might be too much to ask.
And you wonder why some people hate you. Not that I have much sympathy with the guy in question, he should be punished for what he did. I don't hate America, but I don't want to live there nor do I want them to rule the world. I could not live with your version of freedom.
If someone sets up a access point with no restrictions at all, I would use it too. If you have configured it in a way so that all you have to do is to boot your windows XP to get access, I find it hard to take that as anything other than a invitation to use it. Now I would be careful which information I choose to transmit over that connection, but that is another topic.
However if people have disabled DHCP or enabled even the most weak encryption, it would be different.
So are people here a bunch of little old ladies? All those people writing about it being dead. Are there no technology/gadet geeks here. I have many uses for Bluetooth. I got a Notebook with bluetooth so I don't need any wires to update my calender. Updating phone numbers to friends, co-workers, business relations are a lot easier with Bluetooth. I use Bluetooth to transfer MP3 files to the phone which also serves as a MP3 player when I am not taking the car to work. I also got a Bluetooth car kit installed, hopefully I don't need to get a entire new set installed when I change phone in the future, just the holder/charger. You can even get cars with Bluetooh phone kits that fits with the car. On rare occations I have used Bluetooth and GPRS to connect to servers using SSH from my notebook, although the latency are REALLY bad, but if you are in the middle of nowhere it's better than having to drive home. Some of my co-workers likes to use those Bluetooth head sets.
I see bluetooth phones all over the place, from my desk at work, I see about 15 different bluetooth devices, phones, PCs, PDAs and printers. When I take the subway home from work I can always see 2-3 other Bluetooth phones.
I admit that a lot of phones had a lousy implentation with few features, which has not helped the adoption.
Ok, maybe it is just in my "world" that Bluetooth is used, or maybe it is just non-existent in America?
No need, with both Nazi's and aliens together they can't miss, it is gonna be one hell of a show. I just can't figure out what it has to do with Star Trek.:)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. BUT If we just reconfigure the main subtransroute matrix, we can increase output 10x on our main destabilizer conduit and get everybody connected..... Of course that will burn out our main deflector dish!
Slashdot Mirror
it's the american way, sue someone and get money.
(Maybe it's arnolds new buisness plan.)

That solves it :D
I agree, BitTorrent does what all the other p2p applications promised to do.

then then there's the truth! :-D
fine names of Iwanna Tingle, Hugh Jass and Pat McGroin in print.

Just like empty cardboard boxes in car chases.
Or to quote Dragnet, the movie:
Friday: Look out. Muppets.
Damn...
Then that girl I met in Italy lied to me.

Maybe if we looked through the cache instead.

if you compare it to Id's Doom 3 roll out.
After all the hype I think it is better to be able to provide it to everybody at one time.
