Especially since just about all of the Netware sites are looking to move out of it...
Ok, can you show me some literature to back this statement up? I work in a Netware shop and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Yes, ANYTHING. It handles file and print services so well that it's just not worth it to move to anything else, IMO of course. But, despite its massive upside, I keep hearing that people are "thinking of abandoning it" or "gonna move away from it." WHY?! It's the best thing out there for what it does! So, please, if someone can document this apparent exodus please do so, because apart from people tossing around vague comments I haven't seen it.
Ya think so? I'm not so sure...
As long as we're conjecturing here, I think I'll add one of my own. I'm betting that if this is indeed gonna hit the low end of the market (if it's $199 I don't consider it low end) it's gonna be powered by a AAA or a AA. I think it'd help the device's market penetration to be powered by something the masses trust. Granted, a Li-Ion solution would probably be the best, but as far as power is concerned, quite a few people in the target demo for this device are probably gonna be wary of something powered by a battery they can't touch. Just a thought...
Similar idea, perhaps, but the one you found at TD is VASTLY superior. More RAM, more disk space, faster CPU, etc. And, although it isn't explicit about its OS, looking at the feature set it almost has to run some Linux variant. Nice find...
You probably have the Qhosts trojan on your machine (guessing you're a Windows user). Check out Symantec's or Sophos's sites for how to fix it. Or, delete the hosts file in %Windir%\help and reboot.
I'm 6'6" and I ended up getting hired for a LOT more money than my boss's boss said I should have been. Dunno if it was height so much as my l33t skillz, though.;)
I guess many are very intimidated by taller people and it's a kind of unintended bullying on our part that results in us taking the company's lunch money, to draw a comparison. I dunno why that is. But I'll take it.
As if the numbers weren't terribly useless already, here's "conclusive evidence" that Dells are better than Apples.
But really, who cares? As long as something useful is being done with the power that's there, does it matter?
The headline suggested to me that SCO is going to sell Linux boxes for $699. That might be cool if they (the boxes) weren't coming from them.
Then I read the article, which suggested to me that SCO has irrevocably lost touch with reality. The realm outside of reality that they've gone to must have some really nice intoxicating/hallucinogenic properties, though.
who in their right mind would place a windows server in an environment, when linux(novell) is a choice?
Well, we would. The masses like their M$ Office apps, and they run okay on 2000 Server boxes running Citrix Metaframe. Although this wonderful little deal may (read: probably will) give us a better way to do it.
They aren't going to destroy Evolution AND they're going to make it work with GroupWise. Ahh... for those of us running Novell/Linux in the academic world who are getting rather tired of Microsoft's mafia-esque licensing tactics (software assurance, anyone?), this is great news. One less major hurdle between now and a Linux desktop rollout. Yay Novell!
Perhaps we'll see a GroupWise plug-in/connector for Evolution now. Hopefully it won't go the other way and get replaced by a GroupWise Java client... competition in the e-mail client/calendaring solution world is a decidedly good thing IMO.
Or is this just yet another way to force us into a new upgrade cycle?
If it's as knock-your-socks-off good as it professes to be, do you really care? I mean, those of us who like to ride the bleeding edge of the hardware world thirst for stuff like this all the time. Things like "OOH! A new [WidgetA] to play with! But, hey, it's not backwards compatible with [WidgetB]!" do not phase the dedicated.
Those who think it's good enough to merit a major hardware upgrade will do the hardware upgrade and those who don't feel they need gargantuan bandwidth for reading e-mail will stick to their current machines. I'd bet the only forcing involved will be people forcing themselves to not collapse after seeing the pricetag on one of these boards.
I know what I would like were I an incoming freshman - a decked out Centrino tablet with a form factor similar to the Toshiba Portege 3505 and a copy of M$ OneNote 2003 (the beta of which is fantastic). And an iPod. But, alas, my college days are over.
Wait, what the hell am I thinking? Woo hoo! My college days are over!
Avoid VIA for an Intel system, sure. However, if you want any kind of performance out of an AMD-based system ya hafta go with them, really. When you use VIA stuff, it becomes a matter of avoiding Creative Labs.:)

True or April Fools, the e-mail address is fitting...

TY
what would the access times be like? comparable to a 42000 rpm drive?
Pretty sure it'd be slower than that.

Apple cluster: 1100 machines, 17.6TFlops = 16GFlops/machine

When we get a request we either do it or we don't do it and explain why we aren't doing it. Where's the need for tracking?
Perhaps I'm too simplistic...

As far as the naming goes, my vote is for Ninix ;)

Furthermore, an HR manager with some sort of ambition could use these competitions as recruiting fields for future employees.
After reading this, I now understand why one of my friends on that FutureTruck team is at Ford this summer.
Consider the hole poked.
