Dude, my biggest problem is keeping the damn LTO4 drives fed at MINIMUM write speeds for file server type small file workloads. 72x15k spindles isn't enough with only one volume being backed up, metadata retrieval makes it too slow, I need to have multiple volumes backing up simultaneously to keep the things from shoeshining.
It worked, but it was costly (at least, from a data center perspective and not a executive telecom perspective).
The most expensive time in the world for most companies is the time spent by IT waiting to solve a problem affecting n users. Executives need to be in touch, but it would be a very strange situation where that time would be more expensive than an IT outage.
Not yet, some reports have shown promise in stabilizing the dyes for long term exposure but I don't think there are any commercial cells available yet. Also I'm not sure how much of a panacea they are, according to the articles I can find most of the lab cells use ruthenium and platinum, any solution using trace elements is unlikely to bring a mass scale replacement to our current fuels. That's why I think we need to concentrate on stored energy wind farms and collecting solar/thermal plants, neither require exotic trace materials (some "rare" earths for more efficient magnets, but nothing on a gram/kW scale compared to any of the photovoltaic solutions).
All they need to do to hurt the iOS platform is ban it from accessing Google Maps and youtube, though I guess if the iphone is a sticky enough platform Bing Maps and more Facebook hosted videos would fill the niche.
No, in the physical world you can be asked to leave, trespass doesn't apply until you have been informed that you are not welcome. I would consider HTACCESS to be the equivalent of an employees only sign which is the lowest form of sufficient proof for trespass.
You're missing the point, for many apps you will have the option of either purchasing a full price version or running an ad supported version so you can have exactly that choice. There will of course be paid apps with ads included but those most likely will either be unpopular or will be imitated by apps with the either/or model.
Have you actually TRIED using a desktop app on a smartphone, doesn't work very well at all. The ipad is almost exactly the right size for a portable tablet which makes desktop UI apps usable.
We're looking at the ipad as a mobile Citrix receiver client, how does a Droid replace the ipad for this functionality (hint it doesn't). Fanboi's of all kinds annoy me.
Apple doesn't have to open their wallet, they simply have to end their exclusive agreement with AT&T when it expires next year, that will cost AT&T a couple billion a year which is more than any lawsuit could possibly extract from them.
By not putting an access control mechanism on a data interface you are essentially granting everyone access. Whether the courts rule this way has nothing to do with the technical and practical realities of the situation.
It's actually a solved problem. My father works in industrial chemicals and tramp or waste oil leaking into coolant systems is a major problem, they already have continuous cloth systems that pull the oil out of the water and then squeeze it out. The problem is that they can only handle so many gallons per hour and so much concentration of oil.
The biggest bug with that game was that even a top end SLI setup couldn't keep above 15 fps even after the big "performance" patch. Todays cards can probably play the game smoothly but I doubt any card can get phenomenal framerates.
The Canadians required that the relief well be drilled simultaneously with the primary well when they allowed drilling in the arctic, the fact that the US didn't have similar regulations in place is a direct contributor to the current situation of waiting 4 months for the problem to be stopped.
A certain large paper products company outsourced their IT department partly due to this, they had reached the load carrying capacity of the building their DC was housed in and the cost of a new DC was a major contributor in the equation to outsource.
If they ignored the need for a second site I doubt they are doing test restores to an independent drives which is a requirement to even have a significant chance of restoring from tape.
Yeah, no. The other supply should also be UPS supplied by a different UPS. Plugging directly to world power is just asking for trouble. Of course that assumes you are using double conversion UPS's and not cruddy boost/buck models.
Test, test, and test. Oh yeah and the ATS shouldn't be a single point of failure because there should be redundant, independent paths. We test our ATS's quarterly, but I'm too chicken to do the other major test we should run, a battery rundown test. However, with only 9 outages totaling a few minutes in the last 5 years and regular generator/ATS tests and regular UPS maintenance it shouldn't ever become an issue =)
I think a better solution would be for Congress to do far less. I'm not some small government Republican, but I do think they have a point at times. The fact that you could spend 10 lifetimes and still not read all the laws that have been passed in this country should be an indicator that something is wrong with the system.
Uh, those pictures were from several miles downrange and for many several miles below the rocket, unless you own a $100k lens you're probably not going to get tack sharp shots (and even then the Canon 1200mm is only F5.6 making such a fast moving target hard to grab).

Nobody who actually has that job would say such a thing, it's still an AS/400 damn it.

The Sennheiser PC450 blocks out human voices pretty well until you hit the talk through button.

I'm having flashbacks of to the Intel bunny suit commercials =)

Large datacenters often have their cooling towers at ground level (actually about even with a second story since they are built to avoid flooding).

Nope, many do it with an ASIC, DSP as more flexible but require more power so for mobile applications it's often a fixed function unit.

Because it possibly offers another order of magnitude reduction in $/lb launch costs.
