The chip makers didn't want to pay there royalties oh darn they arent supposed to want to pay them. Rambus died because it was to expensive and it was to expensive because there were huge royalties gee shucks I guess another company with a brain dead business model. Rambus wasent good enough to compete at the prices. Yes at the time it was better but just wasent that much better.
If you want to take over a market you cant just be somewhat better it cant be a evolutionary better it needs to be revolutionary. They wernt and they had stiff compotition and bad business practices with there partners as well.
If your going to build out a whole network I think you will find that to FC ports are not much more expensive than production grade ethernet. Remember that FC is twice the speed of GigE so double your port count to move to ethernet along with makign sure you can run jumbo frames if you want performance, thats not low end switching gear. You also have to look at the differences at the transport layer is not in general a broadcast medium. Switched fabric is just that insead of ethernet that was designed as a shared medium and then made to work in a switched envirnment.
If I had a datacenter to build and was very cost consious rather than looking for max stability I would go with infiniband at 10gb a sec per port and it's very cost effective and backends into FC and GigE well. iSCSI has it's place in long hauls and low bandwith/cost right now and may push out FC but it would seem it's more an intergration of FC for the disk side and iSCSI to do the long haul and low price per port end of the equation with FC still there for the high bandwith servers.
And performance? Reliability?? iSCSI is a great tool to get things where FC is to expensive or just cant reach. You would need a big box in the front to manage everything as every packet must go through it.
Realy if you need those fatures though FC is brobably a better bet because you will need performance and reliability. I shutter to think of how much fun iSCSI becomes when you start dropping packets when a port goes bad.
Why? Most often it's better to get discreat components that do one thing very well thus seperate audio and video(film) gear and you need to get and keep things in sync. Before there were cheap digital TBC's you had to use cable to adjust for delay.
I was in the same boat as you for years I had about a gig of mail. Then my provider decided to enforce quota's without telling anytbody. The deleted all the oldest mail till my account was under 100 megs. It was a fight to get them to resore it so i could at least get a more recent backup and move eveything to a different server. To many providers just think it's all spam nobody will notice. I have an inbox full of PDF's and Fax Tiffs.
I guess it was all for the best I reduced my service to email forwarding and ran everythign through my own servers complete with spam assasin.
Yup I've made mroe than 100k for awhile now and I'm hourly. Dont get overtime never did in 14 years in the business. Lots of people that make a good wage work hourly it's that whole consulting thing. It's a trade off of not having that "garenteed" paycheck. Oh while I dont get overtime I do get to write my own ticket on emergency time a four hour minimum at 250 an hour is a great way to avoid getting woken up late at night for dumb things. It's also a lot easier to waive that fee if it realy was something important.
LOL OK I happen to setup BGP router as part of my living so I might be able to shed some light on the subject. Standard security settings allready in place will stop this attack. OK Lets go for starters, BGP packets unless multihop should have a TTL of exactly 1 and come through a point to point interface. Basic anti-spoofing on each side will stop any packets that cleam to be from the other end of that interface from comming in any other interface same for any packets with the routers own address from comming in any interface. Thats basic router security. BGP does support preshared keys as well though I'm not sure if that will stop this attack as it's more to prevent session hijacking. I dont see a 'fix' for this comming out besides normal security settings.
This exploit along with many others could be made significatly harder to do if more ISP would just turn on anti spoofing rules. I cant think of a router that dosent support at least manual anti spoofing setups. The only time antispoofing might be a problem would be people that are utilizing multiple connections and trying to agrigate them together for outgoing bandwith.
I think your forgetting that it dossent matter how many nodes all that matters are packets. Your aggigation gear takes care of shoving the packets onto bigger and bigger pipes this is backbone gear for the long hauls of data and peering between networks.
The Ultua lists for 500 and is avalible as low as 399 per AnandTech. It's not if you can afford a 7k LCD it's can it drive it only a few NVIDA cards are supported as the resolution is to high to fit it int a DVI connected there just isn't enought bandwith for the pixels. This uses up to 4 DVI connectors to drive the screen.
Ok this card has great specs etc etc etc. Did you look at the thing it's taking up at least 1 PCI slot for the fan and another for it's intake to the fan. This thing should have just come with water cooling out the back. Granted it's specs look great I do have to ask will it drive that IBM T221 LCD display that hits 204DPI at 22" thats about the only thing I can think of that realy would do the card justice.
I think it has a lot to do with title. As in what was his title. A director of a company and above can enter into contract for that company. If they told him not to they can fire him and sue him for it but they cant get out of the contract without showing that the other parties knew that he was told he couldent do it. So if he was a random software coder no he dosent have the athority be default to enter into a contract with other people for the company if he was say the director of software engineering then he did. Resinding his powers after the fact dosent change it it actualy it makes the argument that he had the rite strong as they had to take it away implying he had the rite at the time.
OK I've driven everything from a sub compact to a tri axle dump with a school bus in between. I also have driven drag and circle track cars. I would say it would be better to force the SUV's etc into the slow lane where they belong as they handle poorly at best for the most part and I'm sure there are specific exceptions. That would help with the rolling over and the I'm bigger scenerio as Semi's also use that lane. This might also make the eco people happy because SUV's will become less attractive if they are stuck going the speed limit with the semi's. Course this is fine with me as I drive a sports sedan thats the best trade off I can find between room for a family and drivability.
I do have my own little pet idea that people that have shown to be bad drivers (DWI, excessive accidents, insert your pet peeve here) get lower classed liscenes resticting them to scooters.
I'll agree UHaul is the bottom of the barrel everybody elses trucks on average are better quality. Unfortunatly your aveerage person moving dosent have a clue and U Haul has market share and a big PR budget.
The cost are in line to cheaper than tape in the same class.
Course unless you have some need for nonlinear you could spend 5k get an ultrim 2 drive and have 200GB for the same cost as one of there blanks, along with support from every backup software and a plethera of avalible robots as you scale. Oh yea the same transfer rate as well.
For a generic method to move mass ammounts of data I just dont see it working out at there current price point. Were close to a new generation of DRD-R drives that should hit close to 9GB and will be at a buck a blank quickly enough. Being able to be read in just about any DVD-Rom installed is a huge plus that may well kill this technology.
Well somebody figured out the point. Clusters of Linux boxes on intel gear do not do what everybody neads. Yes if your running some things it works fine for others it dosent. Cray traditionaly makes the realy big boxes with lots and lots of proccessors that are very close to there memory and have a very fast interconnect and IO speeds. Linux clusters right now only get you so much interconnect and IO speeds (Infiband comes to mind at 10gb a sec per card) I do like that fact they are pushing the AMD chips there design is a leapfrog over Intel in performance in the x86 space. In the long run it may make sence for cray to intergrate with Linux like IBM has. They would have to move over a lot of there super secret code for performance to make it realy work well though.
If you think a shirt with anythig written on it can make you afraid then you need a backbone. Nobody can make you fear them it's your choice. Removing one persons choice to make another person not have to choose it tyranny plain and simple. If the kid does something or says something thats an action and the school should deal with that action as harshly as nessicary but you should never stop them from making whatever statement they want. I will strangle your mother is an overt threat it's talking about an action. I gun is a tool not an action, yes a lot of people that have been living happaly in there safe envirment dont like guns. Guns are tools that can be used to kill yes that is fact. And where do you draw the line when I was in school I was 240 lbs and 5 7 in 5th grade was I intimidating sure, should I have been expeled because I was intemidating by your logic yes because I might intimidate your child.
Everybody should have the right to express themselves up to the point of threatning others directly. Those shirts threaten nobody directly and nobody in particular. Schools are a place to learn and grow up part of growing up is learning to not be afraid. Freedom from fear has to be learned it cant be given.
I think you should say giving the appearance that it has not been edited. Video taping the conversation means very little as you dont have any proof of when it is. You just play back an edited chat in front of the camera and it would look the same. You want a good log give me packet dumps from there end complete with any encryption there are firewalls that do that as a standard feature. Thats a lot harder to fake than some video tape of a computer and some cop. Granted I dont trust cops implicitly by definition there career is bosted by having a high arrest and conviction rate they have plenty of oppertunity and motive to alter evidence when they know they can get away with it. And before I get flames no not every cop is bad most probably arent but in something as serious as criminal charges I think they are not held to a high enough stnadard.
As an avid user of 2way I dont think people understand how to use there phones. On eveyr Nextel I have ever had there is a button to mute two way so you have to hold it up to your ear. Given that I would rather get a two way with one question and one responce then the dirvel of a phone call.
I have to say that if the guy enjoys his work he should be doing it. I have worked in three fields and can safely tell you that you need to find the field that fits you not the one that might allow you to make the max income. I have worked in construction while I enjoy the work I enjoy working with computers more (Consulting Network Arch) and never enjoyed working retain at a local amusement park. I have seen people that dislike there jobs and most often there performnce shows it.
In the long run I think it's still a question wether or not these are short term losses as other economies absorb work due to high enemployment and low wages. But it's still a question wether or not this will in the long term reduce the standard of living of the US to make it more in parity with other contries or if those other contries can ramp up quicly enough to parity with the US so that again we will be on similar footing.
I would disagree with that. Pretty much it works as two matched black boxes. You can perform a man in the middle attack by intercepting a box or otherwise replacing a box. You then insert insert into the path one of the origional boxes and the pair for the replacement box and you end up with the "clear text" in the middle. It's just hard to perform a man in the middle attack. The nice thing that yes you can detect monitoring in the middle. You know it would be funny when these thigns go onto some of the longer lines replacing existing long haul data and voice routes how many have taps.
All this is in link security it wills top people from tapping into fiber between endpoints (currently 50km not exactly usefull distance) this might be usefull for a paranoid campus setting or for military short distance communications. It would be nice for point to point open air laser links (I think it can be applied to that dont see any reason it cant but not 100% sure) But overall this dosent realy do much of anything usefull beyond that. I would hope they are working on longer distances though it would seem that since the quantum stuff is allways in sync and has little do to with speed of light while the laser light does have those issues so it would seem like a timing issue, again though in quantum physics I'm just an interested observer.
I dont see that as a problem. Actualy they will throw in repeaters for small accounts around 100 phones if you ask during your initial negotiations, at least they have for me. It's not hard to go to a Nextel sales guy your phones are great but we are expereince bad to no reception in these area's unless you can fix that we cant go with you. The repeaters cost as little at 500 with the normal ones under 5k, when you talking about 100+ accounts thats less than a months fee's.
I have that with Nextel now with there international phone. I think the problem yu will find with GSM repeaters is since everybody can use GSM nobody wants to spend the money to put them in. Nextel is currelty solely responcible fo rthere network so they fix it they cant blame annother carrier because there is none.
Forgeting the cost of drives (they are insignificant to the TCO on a datacenter backup solution) I can get Ultrim 2 tapes for about 60 bucks a pop for 200 gigs uncompressed with a streaming write speed of 30MB a sec or 100 GB an hour compared to 4gb in 8-10 minutes for an 8x DVD-R or 24 - 30GB and hour. The DVD's do get me random access and a sligtly cheaper media except for the volume (it's a 50 DVD Hatbox to store the same as one tape) I would say tape wins for a datacenter and optical at a normal 1-3PC home. That backup speed means a lot in a datacenter wich is why some places are moving to HD only backups and others to HD based buffering and some to a mixed format that provides the speed of HD based backups and the reliability of tape by running full backups out ot tape and buffering differentials only to disk.

It is in a way there fault for allowing people unrestricted access to the internet at least force them through URL filtering.
