I've got clients that use Hyper-V to host their MS Server VMs. We have it so scheduled backups will backup the VMs and data nightly using the built in Windows Backup. While Backup Exec would be the prefered solution, it's really expensive (but so is data loss, but some people never listen)! Being that 350+GB worth of data gets transfered nightly, I'm hoping that dropping in a USB3 card along with complementary external drives will cut down on transfer time significantly.
eSATA sucks ass. Seriously. It works half the time, and they're not even hot-swapable in most cases (depends on the controller). Worst yet, you must boot your PC/Laptop with the drive attached before it will be recognized. I know this because I have Geologiest looking to get the fastest access to SEG Y data from removable storage. When possible, they prefer Firewire 800. Perhaps USB3 is now worth looking into. But sure hell, I'll never recommend eSATA. Eff that!
If you worked for a cable co such as TWC (I'm an ex-employee), this is nothing new. In-fighting between your local Cable Co and the broadcasters is an age old non-stop holy war. Both the providers and the conduit want a cut of the profit. The only thing new is that you guys on Slashdot are just now figuring this out. So the next time your sporting event gets blacked out, or your rates change, it's quite possible that your local Cable Co is passing the costs down to you along with other inflationary expenditures such as fuel and electricity.
I support Blackberry's all the time. RIM has a great business model in how they cater to their corporate base users. Their OS however leaves much to be desired. It would not suprise me if they (at some point in the future) move to a core Android OS running a Blackberry framework to maintain the GUI, BES, and BIS functionality.
1. There's money to be made of a scarce resource. 2. It cost money to upgrade equipment and implement IPv6. 3. Because of #2, it no longer makes #1 reliant, and thus will not drive a higher profit margin. 4. They'll double NAT home user accounts to free up IPv4, and charge extra for a real public IP. 5. Implementing #4 causes havoc with P2P and other server-side applications. They want to download anyways, not upload.
In order for IPv6 to be rolled out, I fear the FCC will need to get involved (as with HDTV). And that's just for the US.
Funny you should mention that. During the last Ice Age, humans did cross the land-bridge from Asia through Alaska back down through Canada, North and South America. I'm sure many Native American's mitochondrial DNA could be traced back to ancient Chinese decedents.
For starters, I get it, far more than you do. So please, spare me your tripe. It's insulting!
You *must* understand that there are two primary groups (with some shades of gray) in which people are poor.
1. The disabled and/or politically and socially oppressed. These are the people that need help. These are the people that have the capacity to want the assistance to help them help themselves out of poverty and into prosperity. Public services and assistance provides where the free market does not. But when possible, the free market is a much more dynamic path to choose. Such examples include rural China and India. Oppression by the Chine government, and oppression by the social caste system of India culture.
2. Those that have all the western assistance possible, but remain poor because of CULTURE. The culture of victim-hood, the culture of entitlements, the culture of anti-enlightenment. A culture that pro-actively seeks a rebellious lifestyle that's self-destructive to themselves and the people around them. A culture of being lazy. Such a culture wields a vast amount of political power and influence for what little effort is put into maintaining its perpetuity.
For reason #2, those people can rot in hell. In fact, they out-right piss me off and deserve to be poor. Good riddance. Bunch of parasites! They will NOT be getting any cake from me.
In places like China and India, I agree with you. But in America, there's no fucking excuse. If you're able bodied, in good health both mentally and physically, but choose NOT to become educated through public assistance and resources.... Well, they can stay poor for all I care. I'm sure they enjoy it based on their actions. Or should I say inaction in this case.
Oh, and if you truly feel sorry for the children, then why don't you confront their parents directly. They're a great deal of the problem holding back their potential. Unless you smash the family unit and take their kids away, you're not going to be pro-active about it. Only reactive.
In a free market, those that wish to improve their lot in life will seek further education on their own. So if being educated is rewarded with greater potential for wealth, why do we still have idiots that look for handouts? Simple. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force him to drink it.
I'm wondering what to replace my Radeon 3850 with. Is there anything newer that's faster and can run with a passive heatsink? I put an Accelero X1 heatsink on my 3850 and the temperatures are just fine. With all the recent cards though, it seems impossible to go silent with anything but liquid cooling, which would be a lot of work to install.
Most, if not all mid to high range cards require an external power source. With that kind of heat dissipation, active cooling is required. When you start looking into semi-mid to low range, they'll usually only need power from PCIe slot. At those levels, you can get away with passive cooling.
If you're serious about gaming and bleeding edge graphic technologies, unfortunatly silent isn't really an option from a stock video card. Modding will be required at those levels to keep them both cook and silent.
But before you go down that road, you might want enable V-Sync on all your games. This way, you still get that silky-smooth frame rate without processing graphics to infinity. Honestly, there's no need to do that unless your a benchmark queen. At most, you'll save 50 to 100 watts of unnecessary consumption, and thus less heat and noise being generated.
If your data is stored on chip or CDs, just nuke it. All it takes is a solid 10 seconds in the microwave ~ on high. Of course, I bare no responsibility for any toxic fumes that may be released. You've been warned.
People suck! Period. I've personally met both deadbeat mothers AND fathers who don't do squat for their children. In fact, they'll spite each other using their children as instruments of pain.
You're making the assumption that this is both interpreted and enforced universally within the industry. That would be false. Sometimes, both minor and major versions get skipped as part of a marketing ploy. The bigger the number, the better. Right? Depends on who runs the company: marketing, or development.
I'm guessing you've never tried IE9 nor plan too. Which is quite sad because finally, MS released a browser that's standards compliant, snappy, and GPU accelerated.
As complicated as that process can get, I'm surprised we don't see an MS Divorce 2011 suite available. They can even have a Professional and Ultimate edition depending on if you have kids and/or wealthy.
I'm of the understanding that the origin of life can be traced back (in theory) to hydrothermal vents deep within the ocean. As they evolved, they found a new source of energy closer to the surface. And thus photosynthesis was formed. But how is it that lightning formed amino acids found they're way deep among the deep ocean floor, and in large enough quantities for life to have formed and survive? There must have been quite a bit of trial and error in nature for something to have perpetuated to this day.
When my wife was in Shanghai, I used to always talk to her either with Skype or a VoIP calling card from the US. In both instances, our conversation would disconnect when any one of us spoke in long sentences. Some days were better than others. But, mainly because the broadband infrastructure is poorly maintained and over-subscribed.
Given the quakes that hit Japan, I can only imagine the effects on broadband being even more accentuated.
They do. But realistically, your splitting hairs on the increase in performance. Unless your computer is clogged with mats of dust an hair obstructing air flow, the absence of a local AC/DC converter is unlikely to help as it wasn't much of a hindrance to begin with.
In theory, if getting rid of the extra heat would help performance, the biggest benificiary would be with Intel's Turbo Boost technology.
Culture. Just look up the "Age of Enlightenment" for a more in-depth look into western civilization. And yes, when you have wealthy nations next to poor, the path of least resistance is for migration to occur. Filling the vacuum if you will.
War just might be the answer (shock horror, I know). While the end results are never guaranteed (it could replace one dictator with another), sometimes it's worth re-rolling the dice for a better number. I'd also be curious to know what the ROI would be. Would the cost of an invasion outweigh the cost in food support in x-number of years? If so, how long would the payoff be? Would it only cost one cruise missile? Something for all you bean-counters to figure out.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly. Because, we shouldn't just asume the standard actually works. *facepalm*

Yes, for the following reasons.

2. It cost money to upgrade equipment and implement IPv6.

That thing looks like something out Terminator.
I had mod points recently, but it was the first time post Slashdot update. By design, I'm guessing they're given out more sparsely.

Maybe the Earth is one giant spaceship locked in orbit.
