  1. Re:time changes the name of things on USNS Hoyt S. Vandenberg To Be Sunk For a Reef · · Score: 1

    It's called marketing spin. Somewhere an MBA is proud of themselves.

    Just wear a traditional burqa. Problem solved.

    Quick, someone fix the keyboard on the terminal used to 'print' money in the bowls of the Federal Reserve...

  4. Re:Just what government spending needs on Mr. Bezos Goes To Washington · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the infinitely deep credit card known as the Federal Reserve -- that just keeps 'printing' more money by entering numbers with more zeros after them into a computer terminal deep in the bowls of the Eccles building.

    ... 1% market share ...

    In our data center, Linux has 100% overall operating system market share. FWIW.

  6. Re:It works as advertized on First Look At VMware's vSphere "Cloud OS" · · Score: 1

    So, if the hardware is failing, corrupting memory or data on external storage, and the lockstep mechanism is keeping things synchronized really well to the shadow VM(s), how many microseconds after the shadow VM comes up, does it go the way of the primary VM, as in totally tits up?

  7. Re:It works as advertized on First Look At VMware's vSphere "Cloud OS" · · Score: 1

    So, if the software running in the primary VM has a problem causing it to go down pretty hard (think near or BSOD class), and the lockstep mechanism is keeping things synchronized really well to the shadow VM(s), how many microseconds after the shadow VM comes up, does it go the way of the primary VM, as in totally tits up?

    Or is the definition of FT (fault tolerance) "when some marketing droid pulls out a network cable or shuts down a server during a demonstration while trying to sell tens of thousands of dollars worth of [pretty useless] software"?

  10. Re:It's Called S.E.X on How To Help a Friend With an MMO Addiction? · · Score: 2

    Leave him alone. It's called Darwinism. Either if he doesn't kill himself by sitting in front of the computer all day, then he won't develop the necessary social skills to have "S.E.X" and reproduce, thus avoiding polluting the gene pool with his strands.

    Why is it when i connect to slashdot in IE, the page is broken, the javascript doesnt work, and it takes forever to load?

    This too happens in Firefox. Especially when the idiots at /. started with this AJAX/Web 2.0 "beta index" crap.

  20. Use 'New' Technology on DIY Google Street View Project? · · Score: 5, Funny

    There is this new fangled thing called a "video camera". It takes moving pictures. You can also record a "voice over" describing what you are seeing. I understand that there are even "video cameras" that shoot in "High Definition" and record to something called a "hard disk". Apparently you can even upload your moving pictures, or "videos", to some web site called "YouTube". Try it, you might like it.
