    Not only do you not know the difference between far right wing conservatives and libertarians but you also don't know what socialism is either. You are impressively ignorant.

  4. Re:First to 64-bit on AMD Preparing To Give Intel a Run For Its Money · · Score: 3, Informative

    ARM servers excel at some workloads. The only people looking at ARM are people running massive web server farms. Xeon still crushes ARM in performance per watt and absolute performance for almost every server workload. It's definitely an interesting area and somewhere I expect ARM to really grow but right now it's not much of a contest.

    They have to figure out some way to convince you to buy the new one. That way they can say, well we deprecated the old version so you can't use that anymore (no patches or support) but hey! dont worry! we changed the graphics and moved some buttons around!

    Microsoft knows they can't survive by trying to sell you a BETTER Office Suite. Their only option is to move it to the cloud and convince you to pay every month for access.

    It's not constrained by size. It's the cost of NAND flash that's the limiting factor. And no one is going to manufacture last generation's NAND, it doesn't make any business sense. Ask Intel why they don't sell last years CPUs at cut rate prices. Same reason.

  13. Re: Finally the disk drive can die on SanDisk Announces 4TB SSD, Plans For 8TB Next Year · · Score: 1

    A short stroked HDD isn't anywhere near the performance of an SSD. It's not even in the same ballpark. For a 7200RPM SATA drive we're talking peak sequential reads in the 100MB/s range and around 150 iops. Even bargain basement SSDs have 5 times that throughput and thousands of times the IOPS. And you can get a 500GB SSD for $259.

  14. Re: Finally the disk drive can die on SanDisk Announces 4TB SSD, Plans For 8TB Next Year · · Score: 1

    Depends on your budget, but that's not really true for most people anymore. You can get a very high performance, name brand 500GB SSD for $259 now.

  15. Re: Finally the disk drive can die on SanDisk Announces 4TB SSD, Plans For 8TB Next Year · · Score: 1

    $259 is unreasonable for a 500GB SSD? Seems like a steal to me. My first SSD was a 30GB OCZ that cost $135.

    So what other online market do we have for big, commercial IT gear? We buy a lot of stuff from NHR but it's nearly impossible to see what our existing gear is actually worth. Typically it's lots of googling, checking ebay, getting quotes for our existing gear from vendors like NHR and others.
