Well, the 360 has a modern ATI GPU and the PS3 has a modern Nvidia GPU. Exactly how much difference do you expect there to be?
Do you think that the PS3 GPU is going to produce massively better graphics because it has the mighty Cell driving it? Why? How? Explain yourself, boy.
Wow. An AC calling me a retard, and calling Digg people retards. I'd love to wade through the irony, but it's a bit thick.
If you object to being called a retard by an AC, maybe I can help?
You are a fucking retard.
Is that any better?
Also, there is nothing ironic about an AC calling you a retard. If it was a retard calling you a retard, that might be considered ironic. If an AC was insulting you for being anonymous, that would also be ironic.
I suggest you stay on Digg. Nobody speaks English there anyway, so you'll fit right in.
Heck, my wife has a 5-number ID.
You must be the first non-virgin to read Digg. Congratulations.
I'm working at a university in Germany and we already have a small Windows cluster. However, this is more for research purposes, e.g. to answer questions like "now let's see how this would run on the Windows machine...". The clusters have AMD Opteron or SUN UltraSPARC processors.
The tipping point for me was the way Verizon operates its FTP server.
Why do you care how your ISP operates its FTP server? What exactly are you downloading from their server? Did someone crack it and fill it up with warez or something?
whats your company's physical address I'll hack your network, so you'll be rewarded for your great work. It seems that you're not fully-aware with insecurity of wifi networks then I'll take over your role.
He mentions using a VPN in the question. If you think you'll be able to crack the wireless encryption and then IPSEC, it's probably because you don't know what you're talking about. Yes, everybody knows WEP is broken. And I'm sure you've read headlines about weaknesses in WPA. But that's a long way from being crackable by the kind of 1337 wannabee I suspect you to be.
Just the other night my copy of ZoneAlarm was alerting me that this exe was trying to make a shout-out to the Internet. A little searching told me what this was, so I set it to permanently deny the request. Problem solved!
Dude, you have ZoneAlarm installed. Your problems are only just beginning.
The DOS command route -p add 207.46.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 [192.168.0.254] (replace the address in brackets with a random address on your current subnet) will permanently route all would-be "phone home" packets to the random address that you specified.
Yes, whenever I need to block unwanted traffic I always point it at random hosts on my network via persistent static routes on each individual client machine.
It's so much more professional and maintainable than packet filtering at the gateway.
If that is not a slander, i don't know what is. Perhaps Herold mispoke, I don't know. However going by the context and the purpose of the article, a cozy little place may be waiting for him in a marketing department.
It's not a slander. You are a fucking idiot.
In the distant past, Xen was able to boot a version of Windows modified by Microsoft specifically for Xen. That version of Windows will never, ever see the light of day. So Xen doesn't run Windows, while VMWare does.
Now, Xen have also claimed that with the advent of Vanderpool Technoology (Intel) and Pacifica (AMD) they will be able to boot unmodified versions of Windows. You could say that they have "consistently mentioned" it.
Well, VT is here. Where are the versions of Xen that can boot Windows? Can you download one? Have they announced a forthcoming release?
No. In fact you could say, "it has been eerily quiet on that front lately".
So when you say slander, do you actually mean that you didn't really read it properly and don't know enough about the subject to comment?
It's the Inquirer, who have confirmed allegance to be Xbox fanboys and slag anything Sony..
Can you provide examples of them "confirming" allegiance to the Xbox? Can you provide a single example?
Because I read The Inquirer quite often and I have never seen anything like that. Is it at all possible that you're just a lying little shit who didn't have any interesting points to make and so decided to make some stuff up?
Actually those are rhetorical questions. The Inquirer is very much anti-MS. Of course it's also anti-Sony, which may be what's confusing you. Try only reading websites which show the proper level of sycophancy towards large multi-national corporations - they may not upset you so much.
Why do you care if Sony are unfairly maligned anyway? If you worked for them or had stock in them it would be understandable, although then your opinions would be null and void. But you don't do you? You don't have any stake at all in Sony and yet here you are bullshitting on their behalf. What the fuck is going on in your mind? Do we even want to know?
I just read your reply to DoofusOfDeath above, where you accuse him of the following self delusion :
"Hey, I'm suddenly awash in feelings of superiority and self worth!"
And then in the post I'm replying to, you say :
"I really need to stop trying to play the devil's advocate around here, fucking holier then thou zealots are going to kill my karma."
Which is as finer example of someone suffering from a martyr complex as I've ever seen. And it's obvious you feel superior to all those Slashbots, after all you're capable of independent thought. That's what your post's all about.
Anyway, I don't really have anything to contribute to the Vista / Linux debate because quite frankly I don't really give much of a shit either way. I was really just hoping to highlight the fact that you're a bit of a prick.
The virus writers could have used a GPL-based crypt library, but realized that there would be legal issues involved, requiring them to open-source the whole virus.
They could have just used Tom St Denis' crypto library. The fucker is too busy posting on Slashdot to pursue any legal action against them.
Yes, real quad cores that suck because they are all contending for the same FSB. But perhaps your crystal fan-ball has also told you when they will solve that little problem.
I am bestruck with wonderment, sir. Never been able to consider the north end of a south-bound camel anonymously before. Always thought that shit, like beauty, was to be found in the eye of the beholder.
That's not wonderment you're bestruck with. Going by the rest of your comment, I would guess that crack cocaine is a more likely suspect.
this has to be one of the best examples of irony, ever.
We need to track down Alanis Morrisette immediately. When we catch her, you hold her down and I'll smash her repeatedly in the face with a copy of this story engraved on the bottom of a frying pan.
I don't normally advocate violence against women, but that bitch has it coming.
But here's where I notice some performance. We've got all the servers on a gigabit vlan. I can shift a 300MB file between servers in under 20 seconds. Transitioning a 5MB link takes five minutes.
So far, the best idea I can come up with is a mesh of those USB-USB link cables. If USB 2.0 is in the ~400Mbit range, it should be faster than 100Mbit, right? But then again, speed and latency aren't the same.. Comments are welcome:)
Here's one - if you were seriously considering USB as the transport you are out of your depth and should find another project to pursue.
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. I usually prefer cruelty for its own sake, but another poster beat me to it on that one.
Slashdot Mirror
Welcome to the Windows world. XP, sitting doing nothing, on a native PC install, uses between 4% and 11% of the CPU on an Athlon 64 3000.
You are either bullshitting to try and make Windows look bad, or totally retarded.
This is the Apple section, so either or both seem equally possible.
"neck and neck for visuals" Thats a joke, right?

Windows on UltraSPARC?
Stoppped. Reading. Right. There.

I could care less if some hacker uses a crappy dsl line to screw around, it's not connected to our network
You'll care when your ISP suspends your DSL line because of excessive spamming activity.

Idiot.
The question is, just what does the modified tcpip.sys file actually do?
Get detected by every piece of anti-spyware software in existence?

for server and desktop before AMD...
Yes, real quad cores that suck because they are all contending for the same FSB. But perhaps your crystal fan-ball has also told you when they will solve that little problem.
As I just noticed last night that the newer kernels support CPU hotplugging.
I think it's really, really important you understand that the hardware has to explicitly support hotplugging too and that approx 99.9% of it doesn't.
If you try this on your home PC, I guarantee that all of the magic smoke will escape.
I happen to like ATI quite a bit.
This comment initally being modded "Funny" is one of the finest examples of sarcastic moderation I have ever seen. Bravo.
I am bestruck with wonderment, sir. Never been able to consider the north end of a south-bound camel anonymously before. Always thought that shit, like beauty, was to be found in the eye of the beholder.
That's not wonderment you're bestruck with. Going by the rest of your comment, I would guess that crack cocaine is a more likely suspect.
customer: "uhhh...what happened to my data?"
BOFH: "You will have to re-enter it all manually. And remember that hard drives store data in binary, so you will have to use only the 0 and 1 keys."
Some keep saying that there's no point to ever-increasing drive storage numbers.
Yes, well some people are just fucking retarded. To be honest, I had kind of suspected that before today.
Often, they don't help at all because getting the data in and out is slower than just doing the operations on the CPU.
That was mainly an AGP limitation. Here in the year two thousand and six, we have something called PCI Express which is fast and bi-directional.
We're still working on the hover cars though.
Teachers look no further...

This article is so not about your kind of setup.
Maybe the other million Slashdot users with environments irrelevant to the post can let us know what they have as well.
I don't allow any hardware on my network unless it's fully RFC1149 compliant.
And yes, the latency is a major concern. Thanks for asking.
