Lets not forget, up until the recent IDC, Intel had stated that Apple was the exclusive system with Thunderbolt...so that does give a very narrow number of systems it could be on.
Also, the Maglock power input connector isnt that common.... because it's only on Apple systems... go figure
if the equipment is new then you are looking at ~2k per box (could be cheaper if they where using blades but as he is asking about interconnects it isn't)
Still could be blades... if it's more than 1 chassis... 4-10 blades would not really be a super computing cluster, so there's still interconnects between the various units...
Followed by, The company I work for just purchased 10,000 acres of land on the east coast and I was wondering if anyone on Slashdot had any idea what we should do with it.
Happens all the time!
Housing development... or solid waste disposal...
or an illegal nuclear power plant, running off of stolen Soviet era uranium from their sub fleet...
Or it could be, as is often the case in the corporate world, that the server admin's hands are tied by their managers, and their manager's managers, etc. A sysadmin may have the best, most secure, idea ever though of, but if someone up the chain decides "we've done in this way for 10 years, we'll continue to do it this way", then it's moot.
" every current implementation of 4G out (LTE included) is not in fact 4G. 4G has not been deployed commercially anywhere yet. "
BS. Your statement is true only if one accepts the definition of "4G" made by some committee which doesn't want 4G to mean what it actually means.
LTE is in fact a 4th generation technology: 1G: AMPS 2G: CDMA (IS-95) / TDMA (IS-136) / GSM 3G: CDMA2000 (1xRTT/EV-DO) / GPRS/UMTS 4G: LTE / WiMax
Precisely by your own statement, you prove your statement as false. Since it *IS* in fact up to the standards committees to determine what does and does not fall within the standards... Just because a wireless provider calls something 4G does not make it true. But, by your judgement, if I setup a ham radio system for internet access, and call it WiFi, and sell it as WiFi, then it really is the same as WiFi, and everyone that says it's not is wrong...
LTE and WiMax are 3.5G... cause I sure the hell as do not get anywhere near 1gbit/s while stationary with my HTC EVO Shift 4G phone...
In the case of reality, phones labeled as 4G are using it as a marketing term only
Most WiFi routers do not have a 3.5mm audio out jack. A vast number do not have USB ports which will recognize printers and drives (and even work with USB hubs so you can have both).
He doesnt mean you can stream from 1 PC to another, or print to a network printer, or a printer attached to another PC. Plug speakers into Airport Express. Stream music to Airport Express. Music comes out of speakers. No further PC required.
I believe you mean "Melanin" and not 'Melatonin", which is a neurohormone, and is produced by the body, as well as in plants.. and is sold as a sleep aid/dietary supplement...
Thats why they now have eMLC drives... which, if I'm not mistaken, is what the intel drives are. The e in eMLC stands for Enterprise. They can do 3x the number of write/program cycles as the average MLC drives. While still not as good as SLC (or eSLC, which is also out there), it's not as bad as it could be.
But really, for enterprise level storage, you should still stick with spindle based storage, and use MLC drives for read cache, and a mirrored pair of eMLC, or SLC drives for write cache. Or, in ZFS parlance, use MLC drives as cache, and eMLC/SLC as mirrored log drives in a zpool.
I dont know about AT&T's smartphone insurance, but when I got mine from a nameless company that rhymes with Lint, the person at the store actually told me "If it fails due to water damage, dont tell us, dont bring the phone in, call the warranty number and say the phone was lost, you'll just have to pay $50 for a refurbished one, but they wont flat out reject the warranty".
But, I know some providers wont insure smartphones, because they're so "Expensive". And if you're worried about data...remember the old addage: Backup Backup Backup!
I know with Sprint, as long as you're using EVDO RevA, you can do data and voice (I've received emails while on a voice call, with wifi turned off). Now anything lower than EVDO RevA, and you have to wait until the voice call has stopped before data starts coming in. I dont know if Verizon supports that, though.
What is a switch dies and takes out sixteen users?
Um... even with fat clients, if a switch dies, wouldnt that take out anyone who's on that switch anyways? I mean, yes, they'll have access to their desktop, but not anything on a fileserver, such as shared spreadsheets... or email, or web, or anything else outside of their walled off system.
Switch would still need to get replaced, no matter if the person had a thin client, a fat client, or a Cray YMP...
Can someone explain to me why Immigration and Customs Enforcement has jurisdiction here? I thought counterfeit goods and online pirating fell into FBI jurisdiction.
ICE has a department called Cybercrimes. ICE handles more than Immigration, hence the Customs part... bringing in stuff from overseas, including electronic data, falls under Customs enforcement. I know this from having to deal with a subpoena and warrant from ICE a few years back, all run through our lawyers, while in the hosting business. Of course, I dont think I can go into specifics, though it did have to do with something similar to this, with iframes, etc.
But I think it has a lot to do with which agency finds it first nowadays
Asheville has Charter, or AT&T. There's also Skyrunner, which is a wireless broadband provider, using Point to Point, with speeds over 30mbit in both directions, as long as you have LoS to a tower.
Asheville has a ton of bandwidth however. There is a datacenter here, with quite a bit of bandwidth (240gbit in place), as well (oh, and it's been here since before 2005).
Unless you go by the theory that time doesnt flow at the same speed if you're traveling the speed of light, and you might not age, or age in reverse... or just turn to a puddle of primordial ooze..

But, Force10 switches actually are crap. They're just like Cisco in every way except everything...
At my last job, we had nothing but problems with Force10 equipment...including one which started smoking (literally...) at about 40gbit...

Most likely, they're in Europe... where 500,000 is written as 500.000. They swap the "." and ",". So 5,000.95 is 5.000,95, and so on.
So they're right on the money (pun intended).

Apple Airport Extremes can do ipv6. I know this cause Charter in my area gives out ipv6 addresses as well as v4.

Now anything lower than EVDO RevA, and you have to wait until the voice call has stopped before data starts coming in. I dont know if Verizon supports that, though.
Medical Heroine... Morphine or Dilaudid?
And Heroin was a brand made by Bayer (yes, the aspirin people...), and is a derivative of morphine
I do believe some hospitals do still use cocaine as a topical anesthetic.
