I havent seen any/. comments about the Google version of this. My office computer runs IE and has a Google toolbar. The other day it downloaded a trial version of combined computing, in this case the computing was to be on behalf of the "Folding@Home Distributed Computing"
I wonder if Google will be hacked.
The story was posted under the "Technology - Reuters Internet Report" banner, so who was the story intended for. Also did I misread the paragraph that said
"The licenses that debtors (Kmart) have of Microsoft's products are licenses of copyrighted materials and, therefore, may not be assumed or assigned with Microsoft's consent," Microsoft said in its objection, filed last week.
Does that mean that WITHOUT Microsoft consent, they can assume the licences ?
If the handwriting recognition software is as good as they say it is, give one to every doctor - that way we will all understand the damn prescriptions.
The article is quite old now - March 19 - and HP appears to favour the blade servers from the former compaq. That being said the advantage that blade servers give is that they save a great deal of space, and make cabling much easier. In essence you can stuff a lot of proccessors in a rack, also put in a small disk farm, network switch using copper or fiber, and away you go.
As a long time Customer Engineeer for a major manufacture, I've had my share of basement computer rooms and all the subsequent flooding thereof.

Strange, next door in Ontario I always get google.com. I just checked and I can reach google.de and google.fr.
Environmental Impact

LCD Round-up

· Score: 3, Interesting
Does anyone out there know of the environmental impact of LCDs vs CRTs. I know that with the traditional CRT their is a high toxic metal content - lead, phosphorous,cadmium, barium and mercury. Also I think that they take more energy to produce. I have not seen similar concerns expressed with the production and disposal of LCDs. It could be of course that one can recylce the content of a CRT but not that of LCDs. Any comments welcome.

So who is suffering ?

I've just answered my own question, using Mozilla it passes there test - although it said I was running Netscape.
Was that the Royal Bank of Scotland or Canada.?
HP uses these with the PA-RISC chips in the N and L class machines I believe.

It said in the article that 18 simultaneous impacts can be conducted at once. Apart from emulating an autobahn pile-up, why do they want to do that ?
I wonder if they will read "Tom's Hardware Guide" when they get power supplies for this puppy ?
