  1. What about us bandwidth starved in the US? on 10Gbit to the Home by 2010 · · Score: 1

    Screw Japan, what about getting OC style connex to the USA homes?

  2. The first comment here angered me. on Fed-Up Hospitals Defy Windows Patching Rules · · Score: 1

    Of course Medical Systems will run on Windows. While I dislike the realities of it, Windows systems are cheap. 1. As review workstations: Common programs are easily assembled (think PDFs for reporting, and email clients for sending them) from parts people are familiar with. 2. The server infrastructure: Large-end servers are needed to store medical images (think XRAY (JPEG & TIFF) and Transcription (WAV, RIFF)). These servers are built on Windows based Oracle and M$$QL. Makes sense to me: Cheap. Then the company can charge more for "Enteprise" level equipment on Sun and Linux boxes. These pieces would not need to be embedded. Hell, even the "Embedded-like" devices such as XRay, MRI, CT use common flavors... Sun, *nix and Windows...

  3. Love it ... and .... on How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World? · · Score: 1

    I have a gmail account. I can't login to it from my phone because of all the javascript. For a company trying to keep it simple with plain text emailing, they sure f* it up there. So that's one thing hotmail is better than they on. Some of my emails to my gmail account aren't recieved at all. No spam, nothing, just turned away. I'm trying to get a capture of that now.

  4. Medicine. on Ethernet at 10 Gbps · · Score: 1

    I work with PACS - A high quality raw picture server dedicated to medical imaging - X Rays and Heart Caths. I'd put the 10 gig server and 10 gig NICs in place so my doctors would quit b!tching about how slow the network is. Incidentally, for anyone else in my shoes, use Network Card Teaming with the EA. The ROC says it can't be done, but it can.

  5. This is not new news. on McCaw's Wireless ISP Begins Trial Run This Summer · · Score: 1

    JSV/Comesurfthe.net has been doing this (802.x wireless internet delivery to comm and resi customers) for years. What's news about it?
