The plural is viruses. Also, the boot sector is on your disk. There have been attacks that hit the firmware/bios for a long time. Someone doesn't remember CIH/Chernobyl.
Yes. Intel wanted the MERCED to trickle down and replace the aging x86. They STILL refuse to call it AMD64, which is what AMD calls the architecture (This caused confusion at my job, because people assumed AMD64 was only for AMD CPUs and the servers they were downloading code for were intel based). Intel instead calls their version EM64T, which is based on, but a lesser variant of, AMD64.
There's a huge difference between the Nimbus and Violin systems. Violin has a method by which to keep the I/O flat and not have to suffer a write cliff. Nimbus doesn't appear to have the same features, though if you care only about density, it seems good.
The article is not talking about shitty consumer level drives. Enterprise systems are built around resiliency and failure mitigation.

You want to know why Halle sucks? BAPS, 'nuff said. She is occasionally good, and often bad, with occasional horrific. Catwoman sucked so badly I want my $9 back, and I didn't even see the movie.
Technically they would be uploading and not downloading. It's a good thing that a ship of advanced aliens who have mastered intergalactic travel and force fields have never heard of a firewall
A lot of it has to do with the type of SSD and how it is used. Most people assume they can do the same things with them as they do with other devices. RAID actually degrades the performance of and the lifespan of SSDs. EMLC is a ways away and still does not perform as well as SLC. For consumers and prosumers alike, they may not make sense (btw, you CAN get MLC cards of about 240GB for $600). However, I work in a very latency sensitive field and we are looking at a solution that can make writes commit in a fraction of a millisecond.
However, for sheer IOPs that array you made is less fault tolerant and doesn't come close to the level of performance of SSDs for certain applications. For moving media files, you don't need the sheer IOPs nor would you get by with less disk space, however, losing the need for seeks and positioning as well as multiple requests really grills the spinning media vs SSD issue. The SSD wins hands down when it comes to multiple requests, even when NCQ/TCQ is enacted. 15K drives do about 200IOPs, a 2.5" SSD does 2000-7000 IOPs. SSD arrays do hundreds of thousands.
Normal RAID actually wears out drives faster when dealing with SSDs. You should talk to Violin Memory www.vmem.com and talk with them about some of the things they discovered.
Also, it is not a jam nor marmalade. Jell-o is a gelatin "treat." It is rather "Meh" at best, as it is a wiggly, artificially colored and flavored hoof concoction.
Viruses is a word. Virii is not a word (It is a made up bastardization of Latin that does not follow the correct form, root or pluralization).
That being said, using a brought in computer for a consultant is one thing, but the ability to secure, deploy and maintain a system more complex than a few machines at most is really going to be a ridiculous waste of effort.
A simpler, yet often not employed strategy, would be to hire competent people, and respect them for their abilities and role within an organization. If you shit down your SA/SE's neck on a regular basis, hire them for their ability and then second guess every idea they ever have or constantly create more work for them, because your IT budget has been supplanted by your "I want a boat" budget, you get people who resent you and want to fuck you hard for what they perceive as your gross incompetence that causes them grief and stress.
The way to avoid this is to give them the respect due, or hire somebody who can be respected. Compensate them for their time and effort and make their rewards seem to be corresponding to their work and help to the organization.
Slashdot Mirror
mean desktop support or some other such nonsense? Jobs related to information technology are IT. CS is an IT based field.

125W is a gaming CPU nowadays.
You want REALLY good performance on rewrite? Look at violin memory.
According to our rep, it is actually even less than VS4.x
15K drives have a seek time of about 5ms. That is just to move the head before the data has started to flow. SSDs can get the data in microseconds.

The server licenses are not always the problem. It's the bloody CALs.

I was looking at SASbeasts and E60s. They might do some DB stuff, but I'd be looking at the heavy transactional to go to Violin memory arrays.

Which boxes? How have you liked them? I'm looking at their stuff and would like some feedback. Have you noticed any issue as far as IOPs?

The dual socket boards do not take the i7 CPUs. They take the workstation class Xeons like the x5677
"Has overtook Bing"
Cringe..... Maybe they should BING the word overtaken.
Yes. The thing that distracted them is the lack of "Have." Luckily, they substituted "Of." :P

And they repeated that same nonsense with the Apple Cube.
