  1. Re:Confusing Message on Slashdot Talks with David Nalley About Apache CloudStack (Video) · · Score: 1

    Softlayer was only recently acquired by IBM and has been using CloudStack since before the acquisition. Here's an article mentioning Softlayer's IMS (Infrastructure Management System) and CloudStack:

  5. Re:Reputation on More on IBM 75GXP Drive Fiasco · · Score: 1

    They don't want marks or anything on them because they take drives returned as failed, slap on a new sticker, and ship them to someone else as a replacement drive.

  6. Re:I wonder what the results would have been... on G5 vs Opteron, Finally · · Score: 1

    In quake3-engine games you can use the r_displayrefresh cvar to choose a monitor refresh rate, and com_maxfps to choose the max rendered framerate. A lot of monitors support vertical refresh of 120Hz and above.

  7. Hmmm on FCC Approves Highway Radiosystems · · Score: 1
    The warnings can be received within 100 yards of the transmitters, and thus are only for communications between vehicles or between a vehicle and a sensor along the road.
    So maybe this will give me the power to warn slow-ass drivers...
    The technology, still five to 10 years away from being installed in cars and along highways, also could use a beep, a dashboard light or an electronic voice to tell drivers when it's safe to change lanes, or when to put on the breaks to avoid rear-ending the motorist in front.
    How about a nice robot voice saying, "get the f*ck out of the way!"
  8. Re:Forget cold feet... on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 1

    Because he finds it fun? You know, like a hobby? macci is a bencher and this dual cascade is a benching system, so having audio at all is irrelevant.

  9. Re:All your fancy freedom rhetoric aside on BitTorrent Community Running For Cover? · · Score: 1

    Haha in california those are the qualities of a GOOD driver. I bet you're one of those guys that drives the speed limit in the fast lane and wonders why people get annoyed by you. If you're old enough to drive, that is.

    Anyway how the fuck is rolling through a stop sign a hazard? YOU ARE ROLLING, about 5 miles per hour. If you're not a complete fucktard (i.e. that elderly man who just killed a bunch of people in Santa Monica), you can easily brake and stop within a few feet. If a kid runs out in front of your rolling car and manages to get hit, I say his parents should pay you $500 for having such a dipshit kid. FFS, the people who roll through stop signs are probably LESS likely to cause an accident because they are MORE aware of the environment; they're looking for a cop gobbling donuts trying to meet his daily quota, of course they'll see other cars or a wandering dog or a blind kid sprinting down the street.

    The people that cause accidents are the fuckwits who don't pay attention. Like that lady who rear-ended me at 50mph because she didn't see me stopped at a crosswalk waiting for pedestrians (she didn't see me braking and gradually stopping, she didn't see the half dozen pedestrians, she didn't see the flashing lights indicating pedestrians were crossing the street, she didn't see the eight or so pedestrian signs starting a half mile before the crosswalk, she didn't fuckin brake). If you think some guy rolling though a stop sign should pay $500, what should she get, the death penalty!?

    DirecTV are sending signals to my house and they get mad when I actually do something with them. If they don't want me to do this, then they shouldn't freakin send them to me!

  11. Villains on Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening · · Score: 1

    I liked the crew of program cronies maintained by Merovingian, but I was disappointed the werewolves (well only one since Persephone killed one) didn't have a full moon to show their true stuff (probably would've been too cheezy to have Neo battling teen wolf though).
