For scale out power's probably a bigger percentage of the total, there you're talking about cheap hardware, no software licensing fees, and no support contracts.
It's not even close, power is ~5% of the TCO of anything enterprise grade, maybe 10-15% if you include capital costs for UPS, generator and AC into the equation.
Whee, 1GBps (10Gbps) per direction. How is this significantly better than COTS 8Gbps FC or 10Gb iSCSI/FCoE that don't need a proprietary card? Heck if you want LOTS of bandwidth use 40Gb IB. Plus according to the manufacturers site they DO support the hosts through COTS connections.
Since the GP was talking about cable providers and his internet service I think it's pretty safe to assume we're talking about RG-6 coax for cable delivery....
It's also shutting down because the peak demand for electricity in that part of Europe is during the winter. It was always planned to be shutdown for upgrades and repairs during the peak demand months.
I think of incite as having a connotation of a call to physical action, as in he incited a riot. Incentivize has the connotation of offering a positive reinforcement for a desired action. To think that someone is ignorant just because they choose to use a different, perfectly legitimate word choice is itself highly ignorant.
I work for a large commercial real estate company and we won't be doing our planned ERP upgrade until after the close of Q1 due to the importance of year end and first quarter billing. Between the end of Q1 and the middle of Q3 nobody gives a darn what we take down or upgrade (other than email) but come the end of August lord help you if you have to do anything more than upgrade tax compliance tables.
Yeah, I've been doing my federal return through H&R Block online for the last 5 years and only in 2005 did they require IE, since then it's been fine with Firefox.
If you filed an extension it's unlikely you are getting a return (people getting money back are generally incentivized to get them done on time). OTOH if you are trying to get your return in on time to avoid penalties and interest that you probably can't afford then this might be a big deal.
Programmable pixel shaders date back to 2001, anyone who saw programmable pixel shaders and DIDN'T see stuff like video encoding coming was a blithering idiot not fit to be considered an expert in the field.
Agreed, another clueless soul bitten by AIT/DAT/DDS/QIC who will never understand real archival tape. If the data is worth anything (and government records are) then pony up a little bit of cash for a real tape solution. It might be as expensive as one or two of your servers but it's so worth it to actually have your data when you need it.
RTFA, it's made of 8" reinforced concrete. My bigger problem with the article was the use of optical media for archiving, get a real archival solution and use good tape like LTO.
Concept cars, I think there's a reason none of them have made it out of the design stage. They'd either be so anemic in performance or horrible in ride comfort that they'd never sell (at least in the US).

Especially IBM and GE, they both could probably use them to provide "cloud" services with real IPv4 addresses to bring in major additional revenue.
Windows hasn't done that since 2000 if you know what you are doing.... Even less so for Vista/2008 and up.
Are they using SLC drives or consumer MLC drives? Because the x25e's have been running well for me since they launched.
Uh, so they were using exactly the same methods that the HFT's use to game the market just with larger values? I fail to see how that's a crime.

SLC SSD's should last 5-10 years at 100% interface saturated writes.

Not a chance, coax is low voltage.

It's been a word since 1970, longer than I have been alive by almost a decade. link

Yep, it was insurance adjusters that linked the location of waterworks inlet pipes to cholera epidemics in London.
But that was a separate MPEG2 ASIC that just happened to be on the same card.

Well, technically the seat itself was COTS and cost $9, it was the top of the tank that had to be fabricated.
It's actually been almost 50 years, they started replacing the toilets 25 years ago =)

No, the Russian's had it targeted with one of their warheads because it was a strategic asset.
