  2. Boo hoo... on No Dedicated Servers For CoD: Modern Warfare 2 · · Score: 1

    cry me a river. 88k people signed the partition. That is an insignificant number compared to the overall sales this game will have across the console platforms. They probably will sell 2.5 million copies in the first week of release. The direction this is heading is further solidifying the unfortunate fact that PC gaming is a dying breed.

    I have tried almost every NM platform for my clients and Zenoss is a well rounded management system. It also helps that they have both community and "Enterprise" editions. The support that we receive as an Enterprise customer is well worth the price of admission. http://www.zenoss.com/community/open-source-network-monitoring-software

  6. I wonder... on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 1

    Since the 360 has a lead over the PS3, what percentage of that number is 2,3,4, etc... time owners of defective consoles? I know people who had discs scratched without moving the console. I just don't understand the tolerance level some folks have that they keep buying new ones when they break. I have had all three consoles and the Wii and PS3 are both rock solid. When my 360 started having issues, it was sold and I never looked back.

    Your reply is not even worth my time because, it's clear that you're mind is made up.

    "I find you lack of faith disturbing." - Vader

    On a serious note. I'll put this as simple as I can. I left the flock of diggers because of thoughtless comments and posts similar to the replies to this posting. To poke fun at theists and put historical figures such as dawkins and Einstein on a pedestal is no different than Christians following in the footsteps of Jesus. You guys are going to have to come to the realization that Jesus is a matter of fact. You morons comparing Him to the FSM shows your stupidity and immaturity. Jesus was a man of infinite wisdom. His teachings are second to NONE! You may not agree with the bible. However, it's not about the bible, but who the bible reveals. Just remember that.

  12. My thoughts on Xbox 360 Power Supply Blamed for Arkansas House Fire · · Score: 1

    The 360 has a fairly large install base. It's inevitable that something like this would happen. The PS does require adequate airflow and generates a considerable amount of heat. I would venture to say that it was in a cabinet or laying on the carpet.

  13. Why I enjoyed reading this post. on IBM's Pilot Program For Internal Use of Macs · · Score: 5, Informative

    More and more companies are starting to realize the Microsoft conundrum. 1) How do we properly license upcoming products (Server 2008, SQL 2008, etc...)? Spend an eight hour session and you MAY figure it out. 2) Let's standardize on a document format (.doc). OK, here comes Office 2007 with (.docx). WTF is that, and it's the default when saving a new document. Shame on you Microsoft. 3) Vista promotion. It's better than XP, blah, blah, blah. No, it sucks, and was rushed to market. I use it (I'm forced) and very few of my network utilities work properly. Hats off to IBM for making a bold but, intelligent decision.

  14. Dealing with OUR IT bully on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    This guy was such a blow hard, he once swamped my CRT monitor for one that was broken while I was at lunch. Me and a co-worker devised a plan to take leftover ice cream from our IT party and hide the half empty container close to the electric heater near his desk. It festered for over 2-3 months and by the time we decided to remove it, mold was forming. The best part was he didn't mind the smell. But, everyone who came to chat with him looked like they wanted to puke. LOL! We removed it from his area and he never even knew.

  16. Missing the point? on Cisco Turns Routers Into Linux App Servers · · Score: 2, Informative

    While I believe there is a need for consolidation of equipment to reduce the footprint/power consumption required in remote offices. I think some of us are missing the point here. 1) I know this has been identified in other posts but, these modules work with the ISR ROUTERS, not the switches. They include the 1800, 2800, and 3800 series. 2) The specifications of the modules (AIM/NM) are really not that impressive. The 3800 series NM (NME-APPRE-522-K9) is about the only one I would even consider if "running infrastructure/directory services". 3) Reliability: This is not an enterprise class server. Some of us know the reliability issues with the IDSM blade for the 6500 series switches. 4) The main point of this module is to integrate the network and application layers. Packet monitoring API. Applications can monitor selected packets flowing through the network for monitoring and analysis purposes. With AXP, the need for a dedicated span port and complex wiring is no longer necessary. Cisco IOS Software information API. Utilizing this API, an application can programmatically query the router to retrieve current configuration, statistics, routing information, and so on. All information available to the Cisco IOS Software CLI and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agents are accessible though this interface. Event trigger API. The event trigger API allows the application to react to changes or events that occur within the router. An application event can be triggered on events such as a router interface failing over, packet loss exceeding a certain threshold, changes to routing table state, and so on. Cisco IOS Software configuration API. The configuration API allows the application to dynamically change the configuration of the router. Used in conjunction with the monitoring, information, and event trigger APIs, an application can dynamically change the behavior of the router in real time. Serial device API. AXP provides an application to communicate directly with serial ports of the router. This provides the ability for the integrated services router to support connectivity to traditional and nonstandard devices.

  19. Too late to apologize? on Richard Dawkins to Appear on Doctor Who · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I would like to say (from a monotheist perspective) that I'm sorry for all the wrong done (past, present, and future) in the name of Christ. I'm appalled at some of the comments made here on /. How do you justify the stereotypical remarks about Islam and Christianity that are posted without regards to the feelings of the readers? It's no better than the unintelligent comments posted on YouTube. I *thought* the /. community was above this level from an intellectual perspective? If someone made a comment "all Spanish people are bums" it would be viewed as insensitive and untrue. Just because you don't believe in something does not give you the right to speak half-truths about the subject. The Christians that I know don't go around bashing homosexuals, atheists, agnostics, etc... It's quite the opposite, we are sympatric towards those who don't understand/believe. Yet, 9 out of 10 times when I read these postings it paints the picture that monotheist believers are intellectual inferior to those who don't believe in a supreme creator. Why is this?

  25. It takes time on PS3 Oblivion Approaching PC Quality Visuals · · Score: 1

    It takes some time for the developers to take advantage of the technology in any new console. More specifically, the Cell. This is new territory for gaming and time will tell if the additional DSP's make sense in gaming. I would love to see them make use of all that storage space on the BD but I'm skeptical about that as well. I still believe that 256MB of VRAM is plenty to make the visuals look good even at 1080.
