I assumed he was asking "What do I use for external drives FOR a backup."
In which case he is a moron for attaching it directly to the system. Or for it being in the same building if that is what he is really after, a backup.
If it is attached to the same system, or in the building/house, what you have is a *copy* of your data, not a backup.
You probably won't, you probably will have to license it to the government run medical system at a fixed price.
Assuming you get to keep the rights at all. You might get a lump sum and lose the right to the invention because the development was paid for by the government in part or in whole.
If your base machine is something modern like a T5220 or T5240 getting the CPU worked up is hard. especially if you are doing what it is designed to do: Java and Apache.
Memory is the limiting factor for us in almost all of the VM environments, not CPU.
The company I work for has just about every Midrange VM solution you can imagine: Citrix, ESX (Seperate Windows and Linux clusters), Solaris Containers, and AIX VIO/Lpars. That is more or less the order of stability, btw.
of all the solutions, AIX is the most consistent and stable. Cheap is what they are not, but in our case they are Blue Dollars. It does exactly what it is billed to do, day in, day out.
Solaris 10 Zones a royal bastard to patch, but otherwise perfectly stable. (quite frankly, they are really just jails, just a little more configurable I suppose)
ESX is stable enough, depending on hardware. Certainly easier than anything but perhaps the HMC.
Citrix is the worst of the lot. But with so much invested, they don't want to do anything else.
Ah... but when I grew up, NOT playing C&I (or whatever the equivalent is in a culture) was deemed abnormal. (I am pushing 40... away, mostly)
C&I, and that is all PVP is, is no less valid than Tribes and Quake. Is that a bad thing? you seem to think so, but I am not sure. Getting aggression out on unharmable pixels is better than beating the SO.
MMO's are what you make them. The players are the content, and if all you do is crush heads you are missing the part that value.
As Tolkien pointed out, (and yes, I play LOTRO) he had written the "tree" and he hoped others would write the "leaves".
I am quite sure he would be dismayed his readers embraced technology to write the leaves. But we do. =)
Ah pity. I hope you come back to read this, I have been unable to respond until now.
Interestingly, I find that American liberals are very much about "rights" that the government owes them.
The right to free healthcare, the right to a place to live, the right to free food. There is no responsibility for your actions, you will be taken care of no matter what. The lesson of failure is not a consideration.
Much of what you say comes from reading the papers. Fine, they are accurate to a degree, but they also don't tell the whole deal.
You don't hear about the abject poverty of people who rely on the government to supply everything. You don't hear about well intentioned "green" initiatives that end up doing more harm than good.
You also don't hear about the success of American Conservatives. You don't here the struggles of a California Representative that is trying to get funding to both save the Delta Smelt AND save the agriculture that depends on the water from the Delta.
The idea of tying conservatism and religion (not by you, specifically) is a smear job to be honest. It instantly vilifies and polarizes the issues.
The real question is, what does liberalism offer to the religious that they would want? I will give you a hint: it is not the "Anti-theists" that exist in the left wing of the political spectrum. (and that is the "conservative" smear, to claim liberals are nothing but godless heathens.)
The whole Republican == Conservative and Democrat = Liberal needle has swung a few times in American history. Theodore Roosevelt was a Republican, and yet he did more than anyone to make America 'green' and Progressive. Southern Democrats bitterly opposed the desegregation of America. It is just the current label.
Disclaimer: I am a California Democrat that votes Republican in most cases. Will vote for a yellow dog before I vote for an Idiot. That means you, Arnold.
I don't know about you, but I use MMORPG's to explore parts of my psyche. In essence, they are a shard of some part of my subconscious that has been identified, detached, and given a name of it's own. It can now go out and play and be "itself" without being, or becoming, a neurosis.
And some of it is playing an adult version of "Cowboys and Indians" or "Soldiers" knowing full well the horror of those two ideas is now safely tucked away behind pixels.
(I have noticed that Goldshire is full of people that have not made it past playing "Doctor")
"Openmindedness is a willingness to evaluate new evidence, or a willingness to consider different axioms, both of which are pretty much antithetical--by definition--to everything that conservatives stand for."
Ah, no.
We Conservatives see Liberals as equating "Newer" with "Better".
And so, we want a rational look at all the data (or argument if it is a data-less subject) before we decide that: Yes, the new way is better than what we have now.
Sometimes that is perceived as being closed minded.
Not too difficult. Most CPU's are set to a much higher voltage than they need to be. Turn down that voltage and you get savings.
Same with some of the clever voltage/cycle adjusting technologies. All that raw horsepower is still there if you rip a DVD or some other CPU intensive work. But slashdot/email/wordprocessing? Reading that does not take 3GHZ and 4 cores to do, so it shuts it down.
Proper HD spindown is a given, but if you have it misconfigured, then that could save more energy.
It would be nice if NVIDIA could do the same for GPU's so they dumb down when not needed.
Yes, except for the fact that a California law will not override the Defense of Marriage Act signed by Clinton in the 90's.
There is NO legal difference between the current "civil union" law and the marriage rights granted by the court as far as California benefits are concerned.
Prop 8 took away nothing, they get no benefit from the FEDERAL taxes because DOMA overrules the state laws and the tax law remains the same.
Overturn DOMA, and both civil union and married people will get the same rights. Don't overturn it and they will never have the same rights no matter what the California courts or laws say.
In fact, they likely are shooting themselves in the foot. Obama could likely issue a executive order saying that civil unions are to be treated the same as marriages and the problem is resolved.
But Obama is unlikely to suggest overturning DOMA because he does not support gay marriage:
We have voted on this 3 times, and this is the first time I voted for the measure. Not because I don't think gays should or should not marry, but because the courts stepped on the will of the people.
And in doing so they did a great disservice to the very people they intended to protect. Had they waited a few more years for society to adapt and come around on the issue it would have been resolved. Waiting would make no difference, as the state cannot override DOMA.

Did you account for all the green house gasses and heated energy created by decaying corpses? /sarcasm
Remember, remember...
nope, think he forgot.

We have "Miranda Warnings" due to a case involving an armed robber/kidnapper/rapist named Miranda, certainly no civil liberties hero.
So if we get this covered because of Calixte being a jackass, that is ok by me, we still win without making him a hero

I found a booger. Does that count?
The meteor theory is just a distraction from what has happened to several Airbus flights: the fly-by-wire avionic fail and the they must fly manually.

As always, the SA and his policies are a much bigger factor than the OS. Except WINTEL.
Sun N2 chip is really a screamer if you want multi-thread JAVA processing.
What would be interesting is if Oracle had SUN develop a DBA tuned CPU for their use. THAT would really a hit to IBM.
DISCLAMER: I work for one of the 3 companies involved here. Not the one you might think.
The only difficultly with putting RAC on "a" machine is that it is the configuration of the networking that tends to be the major PITA.
All that will get sidestepped by going virtual. If you don't expect to be maintaining the hardware, it is not likely to matter.
Sunglasses 24 hours a day and large brimmed hats pulled down low.
Not too difficult. Most CPU's are set to a much higher voltage than they need to be. Turn down that voltage and you get savings.

The only flaw in that is that Civil Unions == Marriage from the viewpoint of State law.
So there is no argument that they are treated differently under State law.
Federal law is another case.
Yes, except for the fact that a California law will not override the Defense of Marriage Act signed by Clinton in the 90's.
There is NO legal difference between the current "civil union" law and the marriage rights granted by the court as far as California benefits are concerned.

But Obama is unlikely to suggest overturning DOMA because he does not support gay marriage:

he does seem fine with Civil Unions.
