  2. Re:maybe I miss read. on Brain Control Headset for Gamers · · Score: 1

    EEG's have gotten better over the years. The last one I got was 5 years ago. The first one I got was 1990. Your right I think there are less electrodes than before, although I never count I think there were more than 10 though. All I know is each time I go the experience gets better. BTW I have epilepsy that is why I have them. I probably have had 6 in my life.

  3. maybe I miss read. on Brain Control Headset for Gamers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Did it say it required gel or did not. I have had multiple EEG's and the gel is not fun. It is like gel with sand in it. "This is the first headset that doesn't require a large net of electrodes, or a technician to calibrate or operate it and does require gel on the scalp," she said. "It also doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars."

  10. Re:High End customers will not go to this. on Intel Announces Open Fibre Channel Over Ethernet · · Score: 1

    I just talked with some colleagues I was incorrect. The media is not the limit. What is the limit is the actual protocol.. So using copper vs fiber makes no different in some cases copper can be faster. However long distant solutions is another story.

  11. Re:High End customers will not go to this. on Intel Announces Open Fibre Channel Over Ethernet · · Score: 1

    The 15m limit would be a drawback for most data centers and DR sites where they use mid and long distant solutions for DR and Business continuity configurations. Like SRDF and SAN Copy. Again... This would be great for mid and low tier configurations creating the capability of implementing low cost sans configurations. I know SAN capabilities with fibre. My only experience with Ethernet configurations is low end iSCSI configurations, most of the current iSCSI configurations do not use fibre drives but they use SATA drives and I have not been impressed.

  12. High End customers will not go to this. on Intel Announces Open Fibre Channel Over Ethernet · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As we have seen with iSCSI the bandwidth capability over Ethernet just is not there. I with the EMC this will probably be great for the low end company that needs a mid tier and low tier environment. However large corporations with large database and high number of systems still need to stay with fibre frabrics. This probably will be only on the mid tier platforms like clariion.

  13. Re:"Supercomputer" - SAN Cluster DB on Supercomputer On the Cheap · · Score: 1

    You are correct. A preprocessing cluster needs to be used for parallelizations problems. However it can also be used for clustering database operations via fiber over a SAN (Storage Area Network) environment. This give the flexibility to add more nodes in a business environment to expand storage and preprocessing power. One example is a Oracle RAC cluster software with OCFS oracle cluster file system. With logical volume managers and a flexible storage array like an EMC Symetrix (High end) or a EMC Clariion ( Mid Tier) provides scalability to continually expanding the infrastructure to meet business needs.

    I think the super computers are a thing of the past. Now days clusters are the way to go. Much cheaper and flexible.

    Microsoft not supporting standards is in microsofts interest because it supports and keeps afloat their Front page market. They want people to use front page so they don't care about standards. I deal with making standards complaint sites day to day. The process of getting positioning right across browsers is the biggest pain every. I wish they would quit playing their greedy marketing game and give us developers a break.
