Hum, combined with the article about the Japanese nerds, were in the cafes the waitresses dress up to meet the expectations of the customers, this gives me the following idea:
Let them hire those waitresses to get the balance back a bit.
LOL, it is a really interesting thing Gartner "envisioned". Need to use graphics to explain it. You can maybe look it up, so you can really spice up the conversation.
It can just mean that linux is normalizing. People are not able to hype it anymore to get it into a company. This can be the best thing, since where it gets in, it will stay, and that way slowly gain market share.
The stuff in my house adds up too:
My wife (means the average temperature in winter needs to be 5 degrees Celcius higher than without a woman
TV set
Of course lights
Fridge
Cooking on electricity (>2000 Watt for about 30 to 40 minutes a day on average)
24 hour airco is pretty destructive on the energy bill for these datacenters apparently, but looking at the outside temperature, it might not be needed all the time. I still think they can get some more efficiency. Spend a few days of CPU time on that, and you can buy yourself some extra machines from just the savings on the energy bill.
It is more about the power consumption. It just seems to expensive. I just tried to compare it in a way which makes their claims just sound to big.
I do not propose a shared/distributed infrastructure, especially not for the storage (if they use up my 750GB, where do I leave my own data? Offline on DVDs?)
Doing some quick math here:
2000 processors+1petabyte, divide by 1000=
2 processors + 1TB per house.
In processors: Way past it
In storage: Getting there (quick count of harddisks lying around= 750GB at least)
Since my energy bill is lower, even with the hardware running 24/7/365, are they buying their energy to expensive or what?
P.S. When is the tiger version for intel processor available, see if I can get it running on a random intel machine with the same general hardware as a Mac
Finally a competitor for Debian, or is it just to much for Red Hat to keep investing in a release for users. Not that Debian is a pure user release, but at least it is completely assembled by them.
Seeing 3 sites on a row slashdotted, it might be a good idea to create a "slashdot cache" which acts like google cache. You can then read the article from the cache or from the main site which published it.
There will ofcourse be issues with the bigger sites which run commercials around their content, so they will have to be excluded.
Why they do not use electronic voting machines in Florida. The judge would have said in that case too: Cannot verify the results, I will not accept this as evidence that GWB has won these elections.
The PCs moved to developing countries are usually company PCs already running windows, so I think the migration back from linux to (pirated) windows is not big.
Also the point of using it in the developing world is non-sense. With 40% unemployment rates=cheap labor, manufacturors are not wanting to replace this by a robot which can break down, and is probably still more expensive.
Years ago I saw how they assemble ballpoint pens. It is done by hand. It took me just a few minutes to think of a machine which could do that. They were not interested because it is cheaper by hand.
Where are the tracks which put it in this position? Since it is the backward looking camera, were they driving backwards into this sandtrap, and driving back exactly how they came in?
with linux, I think they will eat up a lot of this 16%. SOme max will be reinstalled with linux too, reducing their number further.
I think sales numbers do express a good way to represent what is running. If only 2% of sold systems is from Apple, then their total market share is 2% not 16%. The other (wintel) systems are being moved down the chain too the same way as the Apple systems. So if there is any case to be made (like in detection of less virusprone systems), is that more and more systems are virus safe because of Linux & BSD.
Research with flaws is always easier than research without flaws.
Then they are in need of some internal communication. The remote control department for the TV's makes way better IR equipment. Too bad the keyboard department did not know this.

He is sort of getting below his $ 500 mln mark, so if the Beatles rights he owns get extended by 50 years, it will get him way above that mark again.

Well, I see some irony in this.

Groovy theme. Anyway I mean more an integration into the slashdot site. Thanx for the link anwyay.

in chips of other manufacturers.

Or: God in the computer stories from Asimov, also obligatory (only it quotes less good I have to admit).

P.S. There are also lots of asian linux fanatics.
Macs break down too. If you sell 2% of all machines, then the total of all machines running is 2%.

You are right: I have a working wireless mouse: Cat toy!
I do not see how a mouse cord in the sun would help with the correct operation of the mouse though.
Forget it, just ran into the 2 minute wait anyway. Disappointing.
At least the shaking will clean your keyboard (if held upside down) (-:
