  1. The fruits of labour on Microsoft Posts First Quarterly Loss Ever · · Score: 1

    .....are finally starting to show. My job is done. - Steve Balmer.

  2. Relocate on Ask Slashdot: How To Evacuate a Network · · Score: 3

    Basically you're fighting, not avoiding. Relocate. Avoid. Cheers!

  3. Why would you want to know that ? on Calculating Total Network Capacity · · Score: 1

    Just right size individual components right from storage to client level...check the average bandwidth used at all levels and allocate accordingly. Its like asking how many molecules of water in a glass..when you know you only need to drink one glass of water ... And wouldnt traffic/second increase or decrease with the choice of medium and communication protocol used over same distance.

  4. Re:Just keep in mind the tradeoff on Indian Gov't Uses Special Powers To Slash Cancer Drug Price By 97% · · Score: 1

    To find open doors to Indian market will take care of any R&D costs of any nature for any pharma company. "6% royalty on net sales every quarter to Bayer" - given this fact, they'll probably reach their break-even sooner. Really, healthcare system in India is much better than in US. Not be given exposure to markets like India and China, Bayer will die its own death in US. Forget morality, its simple economics.

  5. Do you have a choice ? on Can Microsoft Afford To Lose With Windows 8? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Irrespective of wether you use Windows or not, thousands of Windows PCs around the world are sold everyday by multiple vendors backed by hardware / software warranties. What happens if Windows 8 fails ? Nothing. Windows 7 will cascade the failure until next product refresh. Tablet or PC, is not a question faced by CIOs for 90% of their workforce still. The fact in case that Windows 8 works great, if happens true, is immaterial!

  6. It Works.. on Messaging Apps, VoIP Already Eating Into Carrier Revenue · · Score: 0

    I have had just a single unit of my currency in my prepaid card that I havn't recharged for about 2 weeks now. I cant make calls with that amount and normally I don't make too many calls anyway, but since my BBM and emails still work, so I hardly notice. I will until I eventually have to make a call, but till then I am still connected.

  7. First on Pirate Party Gains Another Seat In EU · · Score: -1

    First time First!!! :)

  8. The next leap on Sony Racing Apple To Develop 'a New Kind of TV' · · Score: 0

    Well a goggles less 3D, holographic with 1080P resolution, light as an LED, with Full Voice-Controls and seamless access to Apps store, and direct Blu-Ray streaming via high speed V-Sat is what I want. A camouflage button on the remote to mix in with surroundings will be good too. Hey! all this within my wallet.

  9. No overhead on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 0

    Its just too easy..

  10. Re:Oracle now... on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 1

    Its opensource - thats one. 2. Why dont you use and help develop it better than VMware 3. Its good enough for companies that want limited virtualization functionality without paying a bomb. 4. Major third party application vendors certify it. - Including SAP / MS / IBM among numerous popular others. 5. I'm sure its being further developed towards head-on competetion with VMware / Citrix / MS. No one gets into business of IT with an inferior product just for the heck of it and staying with it.

  11. Oracle now... on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 1

    Oracle VM 3.0. Xen based enterprise product with 24x7 global support. Check that!

  14. Re:Support them from your own money on How Can I Justify Using Red Hat When CentOS Exists? · · Score: 1

    Do it. Oracle Linux binaries match 100% with RHEL. And its free, with support available when you need it.

  15. Oracle ? on How Can I Justify Using Red Hat When CentOS Exists? · · Score: 1

    Why not download and use Oracle Linux. Its enterprise Linux free to download and use. Subscribe for support if and when you need it - and its 24*7 / Global / Enterprise level - Even cheaper than Red Hat when it comes down to support cost.
