SUN just can't make a power saving box if their lives depended on it. And at this point their companies live does !
Now servers need to be low power and low cooling cost. Very few servers need the big power that sparc offers now. At this mark in time they all want x86 hardware. It's cheap . powerful and cost effective. Just what they NOCs need to cut down on cooling costs, and just what the global warming folks want to cut down on green house gases.
The problem for SUN comes from the fact that they lost ground to IBM and HP (god that hurts to say) in the server market. The cost of their hardware is to high , granted you get good service and a engineer from the US that is trained very well on the platform they support, it doesn't make up for it. The future for SUN is do just kill off the low end sparc boxes go x86_64 hardware to reduce costs , add good ILOM support ( it is good now but lacks some features) and pimp out open solaris as a solution and hope the community gets behind it. As a company they are lost if they don't find a home for some of their new projects.
No Flash is slow to write , very fast to read. Hence Windows use of it for "ReadyBoost" caching. There is extremely low latency just not enough bandwidth to sustain high levels of I/O.
On the other hand , by introducing fiber into the link doesn't that take away the greatest part of usb ? being able to just fold up the cable and stuff it in your pocket along with a small hard drive ? I know I use it for restoring machines after catastrophic failures (yeah windows) and some times I don't go right back to my desk with the cable and drive and have to toss it in my pocket. I can't do that with fiber, it would fracture.
What you mean those boats registered to countries who don't even tough the ocean are flying the flag of convenience ! How dare you speak of that.
It's been done for years. And the scams that smugglers use is to change the flag and repaint the boats at sea based on where they are going.
For instance a freighter destine for Canada will have a friendly nations flag and registry info on board so as to avoid customs. They do it in the us as well since we only inspect roughly 9 % of cargo into the US.
I have a company issued smart card from Sun and I have to use it in a read/writer to be able to log in after I vpn into the building. There is so much idiocy in the world when it comes to non technical people trying to enforce technical laws.
If I am not mistaken, to help drive your point home a little more, when a wnic has to process all those packets not coming from its own network it slows to an awful halt.
Case in point I leave my wifi AP segmented off my network and leave it open for folks to check email and the likes. As of late the amount of people with Iphones and wifi using pdas is becoming quite a burden on my AP. Now when I talk with my neighbor even when he tries loading a page during the day it's staggeringly slow even when the usage of the AP's bandwidth is low. At night it's fine.
I check the dhcp tables and there is close to 40 dhcp addresses in the table. And at least 30 are pingable. Thanks to the high school they built here having wifi almost all the channels are covered. And the kids are jumping on my open AP instead of the school and leaving them connected. The heart beats are eating up the airwaves bandwidth and not my internet bandwidth.
Oh please , it's quite obvious that Gentoo had all the blame for the cracked hinge !
Think of your first time installing Gentoo , didn't you want to punch the screen too ! It's obvious this is what happened.
All joking aside , can't he just image the drive, then throw their crapware Ms product on it have it fixed , then restore his gentoo image ? I realize he shouldn't have to but why not just do it and be done with thier idiot store manager.
Yeah but to me the play time is way to short , i want the old 99 level duck hunt back with some updates ! Who could not love the dog coming out jumping into the brush to scare up the ducks. Hell this game started me on my love of the outdoors and even my fetish for hunting duck and quail !
Tell me about it ! I am so upset there is no duck hunt , and the one on the wii play disc kind of bites.
I want duck hunt and hogans alley to come back , now those were damn fun nintendo games with the gun.
Other games like , Gumshoe,wild gunman and freedom force where great shooters for the nintendo. I would love to see these packed into a wii disc, so that we can get back to the days of fun over graphics. After all that is why the wii is dominating in even the non gamer market.
Looks like most attorneys would take it just drooling at the amount of money they could make on a settlement. My take from this is that no one pays and the lawyers rakes in the cash if they win it. If not they are out some time.
HEy at least you had a constant hook up for weed. Many would love to not have to leave their house to pick up, and he could have brought it to you ! Think of the money he saved you in gas alone !
What happens if the drive gives up its magical go smoke ? How does one recover after that ?
I have had multiple customers come to me with HP's just out of warranty with HDD that failed. I had to order the dvd's for my customers and they were very unhappy about it. What I would do was get an oem install disc off the local piracy sites and just use the oem cd key off the side of the system and when the discs came in I would go deliver them their discs.
I hate that they don't give OS install cd's. Even though most people lose them:(
That and for the names. Acer needs a place to dump those cheap flat panels and parts , emchines and gateway brand is the exact place to do this , especially the emachines division. Acer is not bad parts so to say but they always seem to break early on the systems I have repaired. Guess this may make systems even cheaper down the line.
They can remove the transponders rather quickly if they are experienced car thieves.
I had a 2004 Dodge Ram that was stolen for the gear in the bed of the truck since it was a capped truck with a security system it was easier for them to take the whole truck and work on the locks elsewhere. They found the lojack unit and threw it in a dumpster 3 cities over, police found that 3 hours after I reported the truck missing. They found my truck in a Southern State 6 weeks later completely stripped. They even took the Navi dvd's and the sirius radio tuner.
Real obligatory question ! Does it run Linux ? And Imagine a beowulf cluster of these !
Now for the good stuff. Theres no real mention of performance other then the clock speed. It would be nice to get some real info like mips or something to let me relate this to my quad core pentium.
Well , knowing the encryption algo. makes it easier to guess passwords. These guys were an overworked understaffed operation. And in retail this is normal and an on going issue.
The truth is there is no real way to solve these issues. They need a igger staff and good IT workers are very hard to come by when you value only the resume and not the persons abilities. This should make every retailer reconsider thier staff. This should also make every company reconsider what they think of IT workers.
We for to long have been the department that they just sink money into. Hell there it was called the black hole. Money goes in but they don't understand what it buys and what good it does, that is typical at most companies. They have bean counters over seeing a technical department. Companies need to realize without it companies grind to a hault and hiring a good quality candidate is more then a resume.
as some one who worked there. they are retailers , they always cut corners. they have a small staff of it guys to overlook so many stores and it bit them in the ass.
No way , there is not any issues with proprietary formats. You spread FUD !
Look at WMV drm'ed files. They play on nothing but microsoft approved software or gear. Why do we need 20000 formats when The main 6 to 10 would do fine. Oh damn wait there is to much money in having individual formats.
A side note, it seems like we see this type of article coming all to often. You sort of have to wonder if they are being paid shills.
I beg to differ. If I am thinking of using linux in an enterprise and I need my people to play with media , it does indeed scare the users to see a disclaimer like this. Unfortunately this is another blow that stops adoption.
Most people don't want to see stuff like this when they load up software , it does scare them.

we always see this stuff coming out of countries in Asia , are they that fanatical about these games ?
I mean geez I have hard enough time playing xbox for more then an hour without having to at least get a bottle of water. How do they do it ?
