  2. Stupid choice of metrics. on Little Demand Yet For Silverlight Developers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Stupid choice of metrics. There are more Windows 3.11 books at my local library than there are Vista books. So there must be more demand for Windows 3.11.

    How many books were on the shelf six months after Flash was released? How about job postings? Compare those numbers with Silverlight if you must use a stupid metric like this.

    Troll article.

    All the President can really do to stop abortion is appoint judges who are against it. The President has no real power to stop it.

    You do realize that SiCortex makes mips clusters right? They are already low power and do not have a CRT attached. They typically run a modified version of Gentoo, you just ssh in and submit a job to the scheduler, just like any HPC (expect maybe Windows HPC, I don't know how that works).

    Unplugging CRTs would not help at all because there aren't any CRTs.

    IMO, Americans could do with far more such selflessness these days.

    Actually 70% of American households give at least $1800 per year, that is more than most countries.

    According to this USA Today article Americans give more than twice of the next most charitable country.

    Maybe EVERYONE could do with far more selflessness...

  9. Re:Another nail in the server coffin for HP on IBM & Sun Agreement Puts Pressure on HP · · Score: 1

    Thats true Sun does sell those and they are pretty nice, I have one racked right now.

    The point that I was making is that you cannot go buy off the shelf parts (tyan or not) and have it be comparable to a new DL360 or DL380 from HP. The parent post (GP?) by chef_raekwon was comparing a box he could build with enterprise HP equipment. In this case HP will out preform anything you build yourself from parts ordered from newegg.

    I problem I had while working with SIPR was people would bring in unmarked thumb drives and use their unclass email to transfer the data. We just educated the users and this problem dissolved.

    Unless all the SOHO routers/firewalls start supporting CTCP I really don't see this as an issue. I am sure something like DHCP will be backward compatible. Besides I know of no ISP brave (or stupid) enough to run Microsoft DHCPD in that kind of environment.
