  1. Story summary on The Design Of The Google File System · · Score: 4, Funny

    Google uses MS access as a backend to store all of its cache files. It is redundant by having a batch file setup with the windows "at" command to "xcopy" the data to another backup server.

  2. Re:vs. Pentium 4 AGAIN???? on First Round of AMD Athlon 64 Reviews In · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Well the Itanium (itanic is a joke name - titanic) is firmly priced as a server chip. Last I saw the latest was running about 3000.

    The Athlon FX is essentially an opteron rebadged as a desktop chip just the the P4 EE is essentially a 3500 top end Xeon with a higher bus speed rebadged as a desktop chip.

    Barefeats.com has a few reviews of the dual g5 vs a few Xeon and P4 systems. The g5 loses pretty bad on the game benchmarks. It comes out ahead on some business benchmarks while losing some other ones, including the photoshop test.

    The Athlon FX beats the P4 at most tests so it would probably win most against the G5. A doubt a dual opteron would lose any benchmark against a dual g5. The opteron scales much better in mutli cpu configurations.

    I know some mac zealot will respond that software hasnt been optimized for the G5 yet, well it hasnt been optimized for x86-64 yet either.

  5. Re:So who got fired? on Netgear Routers DoS UWisc Time Server · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why should someone get fired? Its a public service. If they are going to offer a public service they should upgrade their internet connection and servers.

  6. They probably have a firewall on Microsoft Worms Crash Ohio Nuke Plant, MD Trains · · Score: 0

    But assume it will protect them from everything. Security is more then a firewall.

    If a laptop user gets infected he can easily infect the coporate network.

    Most networks I have seen have a firewall at the edge to protect from internet traffic but nothing to keep internal users from infecting internal production systems.

  7. Just a guess on Codename Brutus: Chess-Playing FPGA PCI Card · · Score: -1, Redundant

    But Ill bet thing is pretty good.

  8. Yeah and the blame goes to MS - why? on Microsoft Virus Spam: SoBig.F · · Score: 0

    If everyone ran linux they would still want email right?

    You would still have all the idiots who click on every attachment right?

    So this exact situation could happen on linux.

    I didnt have any issues with blaster either because I keep my systems patched and firewalled.
