Dude, even over 10Gb there's no way you can vmotion a VM in a few hundred milliseconds! 4GB/.8GB/s=5 seconds, nevermind bigger VM's and gigabit which is much more the norm. Also while VMWare HA is nice for minimizing downtime it doesn't negate the need for each node to be reliable as the large scale reboot storm after a host crashes can be quite a stressful event on the environment, storage in particular.
We significantly increase the spam score for no reverse DNS, if a business partner has incapable IT we just whitelist their domain. This works for fighting the 99.99% of messages from hosts without a proper rDNS while allowing us to make exceptions for legitimate traffic which is in general the best way to approach spam fighting.
Isn't the target ORR for the competition too low? I thought one of the biggest hurdles encountered during the cleanup was that the it was illegal for the ships to discharge partially treated water even if they had removed a significant percentage of the oil and so the only legal solution was to tanker the partially treated water and take it to a land based facility which could more thoroughly separate it. Personally I think the EPA (or whatever the responsible enforcement authority was) should have temporarily suspended the rules but that makes too much sense for the government.
I'm sure the jammers are wide enough band (you'd have to try really for them to not be if they can jam a signal in a 400 mi^2 area) to block the nearby GLONASS signals (the L1 and L2 codes are carried on nearly adjacent frequencies by both systems and those are currently the only ones used for navigation). Btw Galileo and Compass also put their L1 and L2 (different names but same idea) in the 1.55-1.6 GHz range so they too would be jammed by a moderately wideband jammer, or heck probably just a Lightsquared tower =)
The numbers I'm referencing are combined, so quite a bit higher than 36MPG highway with 27 city. Still those numbers are better than anything else on the market today, my only hesitation would be buying a first model year CVT as historically most manufacturers take a while to work the bugs out of their first CVT. I also think double clutch automatics are superior to CVT's in just about every aspect except maybe price so I'd be leaning towards a model with one of those.
25% failure rate? WTF are your people doing to them? We've had a 2-3% AFR over the last 3 years which is comparable to the T6x we were using when we started switching over. Our numbers are over a fleet of ~500 laptops. As for the standard image, we could care less as every machine gets our corporate image.
You obviously don't use BES or BBM. BES service is still down, we got notified by our Boxtone service that as of 8am EST we had over 40% of our users with pending messages and it's gone up to near 100% now.
In the supercomputer space you'll be comparing Xeon E7 (Westmere) to Interlagos (Bulldozer), there the Bulldozer is doing well enough that next years #1 or #2 supercomputer is going to be using Interlagos. What will be interesting will be in 2 socket server space that makes up 85% of the x86 server market where Xeon E5 and Interlagos will shoot it out. I'm betting there it will be highly dependent on your target workload, if you need good single threaded performance E5 will be the obvious choice, if you need a massive number of cores than Interlagos is your choice (32 per dual socket box). Unfortunately for AMD E5 also comes with quad channel memory controllers so one of their big advantages in the dual socket space is gone.
The numbers I've seen are based on official EU cycle testing with the diesel number converted from l/100km and the EU cycle to mpg and the EPA modern cycle.
Nothing I've seen US bound from Subaru comes near 40MPG, if you have a model or engine type that's US bound I'd love to know about it as I'll put it on my short list for my next vehicle.
Reality check, the upcoming CX5 will be far and away the most fuel efficient AWD vehicle available in North America when it's introduced later this year. In 2013 (2014 model year) if they bring the Skyactiv diesel to the US like they've announced then you will be able to get an ~42mpg AWD crossover. They are doing this without the very expensive and environmentally dubious hybrid or electric drivetrains, just good old fashioned engineering.
Actually, MS did have those reports, probably 90% of BSOD's over the years were caused by third party drivers. MS moved large chunks of the driver infrastructure into user space and for those areas where performance was deemed more important than isolating the drivers and kernel they implemented a more robust WHQL process and required drivers to be signed after WHQL testing was completed. This probably reduced the number of BSOD's experienced by 85% or so.
Yes, there was an incident with the Occupy Washington protest just the other day where a conservative journalist joined the ranks and tried to stir them up to storm the Smithsonian Air & Space museum which they were protesting based on a military drone exhibit. When he couldn't convince the larger crowd to leave their peaceful picket he and some friends forced their way into the museum then reported that it was protesters. He had the gall to tweet the fact that it was him that had entered the museum...
I was listening to NPR on Friday and they had an interview from before Jobs returned to Apple and even he said if they hadn't come up with their products then someone would have come up with a similar solution in roughly the same timeframe, if a bit delayed. He felt that most of their products were a natural evolution of the times, they just happened to do them better than others and with a very right brain focus.

Let's see:
Cyrix
VIA
AMD
IBM (codesigned with Cyrix)
NexGen
Transmeta
That's all I can think of. Are you aware of any others during the 90's?
Exactly, I've never in 18 years paid to have rDNS setup.

Varying standards requires forethought which is an even bigger stretch for government than flexibility.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, I'm not sure the E5 16xx hex core's 50% increase in TDP versus Westmere x5670 is worth it.

We like the Elitebooks, they've been about as reliable as our Lenovo Thinkpads at about 2/3rds the price.
He said midrange and high end (ie LJ4250 and up), there's no DRM or toner page counters on those units.

Ivy Xeon is a LONG way off, don't expect them before 2013.

There is no turbodiesel AWD vehicle that gets 60-70mpg, the most efficient I have seen before the CX5 was a BMW x1 xdrive 18d which was 5.5l/100km.
Reality check, the upcoming CX5 will be far and away the most fuel efficient AWD vehicle available in North America when it's introduced later this year.

Yes, there is Xen and KVM, both of which are in the mainline kernel.

I don't think they'll be using Colossus since the British WWII cryptographers used it first =)

Blackberries were selling quite well before the iphone came out.
