If HP ditch Itanium, they effectively ditch HP-UX. They can (have?) ported HP-UX to x86, but why would anyone pay top $ for HP-UX on x86 - they would just use Linux instead. Without HP-UX, they don't have a tier 1 platform & will be drowned by Red Hat & SuSE.
Meanwhile, Intel is busy building the RAS features of Itanium into x86 - as these get implemented into Linux, HP-UX will become irrelevent anyway.
IBM & Power have a little more headroom - be interesting to see how long it lasts.
Not to mention their souls. Yeah - it was a cheap shot at a dead guy. Honestly, I'm impressed by innovation - I just feel that if more time was spent innovating & less spent trying to cripple the competition, the world would be a much better place.
I've seen a couple of 'get off the Mainframe' projects "succeed".
They got systems off the mainframe, but it took years, was a very expensive process & the resulting heap of servers didn't save any money. Reliability goes downhill, manageability goes downhill, bang-for-buck goes downhill. Oh, and they still have a mainframe! (some things get moved 'out of scope')
I'm not going to click on the ad, so why would I want it displayed? If I want a product, I can search for it. Adblock stops me getting annoyed by unwanted material. If someone loses because of that, they might want to pay-per-click instead of pay-per-serve?
I'd like to think that they use higher-grade drives than you buy at Fry's or where-ever. Would also assume RAID5 or better. Add in the fact they were probably plugged into a DMX or similar & $6M starts sounding reasonable.
Why they weren't encrypted from the start is the real question.
I don't know why the web site exists, but the paper seemed to me to indicate there IS warming (didn't disprove anything). However, it does call into question the methodology used to compensate for poorly sited stations and indicates that the warming observed is 1/3 what is being reported.
We're all still going to die - we just have longer to worry/argue about it!

At least he went for .co instead of .org

then sue the crap out of everyone who produces something with wheels?
It's the satellites causing the melt! De-orbit them all ASAP!!!
Betcha can't do just one!
Sugar that close to a sun must be caramelised - mmmmmm
Since young'ns don't know what a floppy disk is, the 'Save' icon is lost on them.
Envelopes for email & phones probably won't be far behind.
At least magnifying glasses are still reasonably recognisable for when the font gets too small - now get off my lawn!
Pretty sure he's dead
Bad for tourism - only the Poms would keep coming.
Baaa!
Probably just got a $5 discount off our govt licence agreement.

I still get paid though :-)
It's obvious the ants reverse-engineered our protocol - we demand US$1Bn for such blatant piracy.

No way to claim back costs if you successfully defend yourself?

My blind colleague would just like to read the article without it blowing up his text-to-speech software!
I think they should also repay what this has cost the NZ taxpayers.
You probably gave up your rights when you uploaded the content. Doesn't matter what you want (sadly).
Flame would appear to have been active for years. Don't think Obama had much say in its creation/deployment.
Leaking details to the Press could be his work - I'm sure anything that gets out will put him in a good light.
and Major League Baseball spies on all of the above?
Having used Kies - I'm far from confident in their abilities. What a POS!
