Do we really need more disclaimers on game boxes?

Wrong, Finland is democratic republic, and has always been one. There is a socialist party but that doesn't make the country socialistic. Former Yugoslavia or Vietnam would be good examples of socialist countries.
> With a modern machine, you can have a set of three PCIx4 10Gb NICs
If you can afford 10Gb uplink, you can afford some Juniper or Cisco to do the actual routing. No need to use homebrewed solutions there.
Even 3x1Gbit is pretty much overkill, most companies can easily manage their networking needs with 100Mbit, never running out of bandwidh.
Hell, we have network with ~10 000 users here, and our traffic peaks around 150Mbit on busy hours. (~20-30% usage on link capacity) And that's including the server traffic. No fear of upgrading even to gigabit link in near future.
This same topic was covered by (forgot who) formerly from SUN, giving lecture at MIT (available online somewhere on their pages). He discussed how annoying it was to have large remote controller filled with small buttons, and how inconvenient it was to use.
My idea for smaller remote:
buttons 1&2 select value +/- button 3 select channel 1,2 works up/down button 4 select volume again 1,2 button 5 select other more rarely used function with 1,2, same button works as enter when applicable button 6 start/stop recording source?
what else do you need? I think you could even do with 5 or even 3 buttons, but that would require too much OSD surfing.
Well, after using vmware for some time, networking infrastructure could use more work.
The one built-in to vmware is awful.
Few things comes in mind straight off:
Virtual switch device for connecting workstations(think managed ports)
Virtual router for creating networks
Virtual cable to simulate line delay and perhaps errors between hosts
Virtual PBX to simulate phones and modems (modified asterisk?)
Also, the install scripts in linux version could use some work..
Sometimes you might want to reconfigure devices without recompiling the network modules.
1.4. Does Xen support Microsoft Windows?
Unfortunately we do not currently support Windows; the paravirtualized approach we use to get such high performance has not been usable directly for Windows to date. However recently announced hardware support from Intel and AMD will allow us to transparently support Windows XP & 2003 Server in the near future. We are working on this and intend to have support available by the time the new processors are available.
Maybe the TCO summaries are right after all? Atleast partially that is.
Using the linux road, you have to pay competent people salary for actually knowing something about the system they're dealing with.
Anyone can get windows server up and running after 10 minutes of reading help files, but it won't be secure by a long shot.
I guess same applies for linux in some ways, but it's like comparing iron ball and snow ball in hell. Both will melt down eventually if left unmaintained, but it's just matter of how long it takes. And longer it takes, the more profit you make.
TCO might be higher, but you simply get more work done when your IT department doesn't have to spend 2 days every week reinstalling all workstations. And getting more work done increases profits and in the long run, brings down the TCO, even if it's higher at the beginning.
TCO surveys are statistics, and statistics always tell what the collector wants them to say. It's just matter how you count things.
That's not what he ment. If your network connection is down, that joyent would be unaccessible to you. That was the whole point of having the email/office thingy as appliance. Even if your network goes down, you'd still have the stuff you need at your local facility.
The idea about separate appliance is rather good, if I worked for small to medium sized organization, I'd consider and probably end up using such device if the price was right.
Workstations won't be using 100Gbit ethernet anytime soon, but 100Gbit isn't that uncommon speed in networks. The company I work for has several links running at 140Gbit, though that speed is achieved by DWDM, and isn't raw ethernet. Fastest core routers can already operate at terabyte speeds, so once the backbone networks slowly upgrade to support faster rates, expect availability of faster and affordable consumer connections to rise aswell.

Cell Tracking on the Rise
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Your colleagues are not the problem, your customers are.
Once they learn that you answer your work phone after office hours, they won't hesitate to call again.
Of course this relates widely to the business you work in, but if it's any service-related field, chances are, some customer might call you during out-of-office hours and ask some trivial matter that could be solved by simply RTFM or by someone else at the office who actually might be working at that time.
Tracking a cell phone doesn't rely on sim card.
Each cell phone has unique vendor identification code called IMEI, which is used to identify the phone on
cell networks.
Think MAC address, but it's harder to fake, and it's visible to entire network instead one lan segment.
Turning off your phone does block the trace as long as you move from the point where you turned the phone off.
Device-id query for powered off phone returns the last connected cell tower as phone location when the device itself cannot be reached from service area.
Atleast when we're talking about GSM networks
Anyone have those new macs and want to dig in deeper to the emulation?
Did apple do cherryos and just ported pearpc to run on macos? (unlikely, but hey, wild speculation is still allowed)
I'd have to agree fully, I've had the urchin script adblocked for some time now after I noticed several sites I visit calling it. I perfer not to be tracked by multinational companies, even those who claim "do no evil" as their business plan.
> we are already used to lower-than-DVD quality. And it is Okay;-)
No it's not
DivX/XviD looks like shit if you're watching it from larger screen or with projector.
The image just doesn't contain enough detail when comparing against HDTV or even DVD material.
I get the okay good enough point, when you're watching the XviD on ipod or monitor, or old tv, where the high resolution isn't possible.
Most material isn't that important to see in so high detail that you can count every bodyhair from the actor/actress, but some can really take advantage of the better detail.
I'd rather quote.. these widgets have almost the same braindead design as ActiveX/COM.
I don't want any invisible modular components on my desktop, that randomly install stuff on my computer(even if it's only the limited widget dir) or throw pictures at me, but hey, if Bonzi Buddy is your friend, go ahead.
who thinks this is rather bad idea?
Why do we need to bind the browser this deep to the GUI?
Haven't we learned anything about bad design from microsoft and IE5?
I mean something like this.
The console manual quite clearly states that "do not move the console while it's operating a disc".
If someone managed to wreck their rented disc, all they can blaim is themselves, and pay the repair fee.
Some home insurances might even compensate the destroyed disc, if you claimed it as an accident.
