McAfee would randomly mysteriously break and be completely unable to update its scanning engine or dat files, and out of THOUSANDS of desktop machines we'd have a bunch of them with definitions from months or years ago. Which ones? Hell if we knew!
You have thousands of machines but didn't use ePO? McAfee does suck, but you are fucking terrible.
Yeah, that's crazy that a computer would freeze or crash just because the connection is slow. My internet slows down often and it never causes my computer to cra
You forgot to finish typing your comment, you dumb fuck. Now it looks like you were making the lamest joke in the history of the Internet instead.
IBM has been shipping actual 5GHz POWER chips since 2007, that's not over clocked they are rated at 5GHz. The over-engineering of the POWER6 series with very careful consideration of power bus and clock distribution means that overclocking them extremely is straight forward. But I don't know what upper limit people have reached because there is not a huge community of mainframe and super computer overclockers.
You sound like one of the original PPC Mac zealots. Probably still waiting for your G5 laptop and your POWER based Mac Pro. Keep waiting, bitch.

When I didn't have a job I felt like I was begging for a chance, so I got a job at an cable company/ISP helpdesk. Five months later I got a job as an embedded software engineer (what I was looking for).
It was a pretty lousy job, when I came home I felt completely empty. You get verbal abuse, everything from people who don't know the first thing about computers, all the way to undisguisable idiots.
Yeah, well most embedded software sucks, so you probably deserved it.
...is a cool article up on Wired (look for the printable link option so it's all on one page) detailing an interesting adventure around the world and some of the history of undersea cables. Definitely worth a read.
Getting a bit old now, but it is an awesome article. In fact it almost makes up for Anathem. Just add a few years of genital torture and we'll call it even.
From reading tfa & links, I got the impression that the individual embroidery sites were doing the right thing and pointing back to the vendor(s) where they purchased the artwork. To me, they're off the hook at that point. I wasn't always wild about the licensing agreements that were used with the clipart libraries & I don't support blanket scare tactics to weasel money from mom-n-pop embroidery shops, but I do think whoever is collecting the money for use of the clipart libraries ought to hand some portion of it over George.
Yes, I also have no personal stake in the matter but nonetheless feel obliged to stick my head above the parapet and put on the public record my unbiased opinion, namely that you need to suck the very fattest part of my asshole.
The fact that you neanderthals are still using crappy plastic buttons rather than gestures and other multitouch goodies isn't my fault.
Couldn't agree more. Gestures are where it's at. For example, if I want to launch Safari, I simply gesture like I'm lovingly fingering another man's anus and up it pops. One hundred percent reliable. My Mac understands.
It depends, if the system is distributed, the hotspots (ie performance bottlenecks) could quite easily be in network latency and throughput, something that could be reasonably impacted here.
Sounds pretty fucking unlikely.
Of course if its not, you are 100% right, however dont underestimate the proportion of cpu time the kernel spends in some situations (databases and distributed apps, for example).
Oh yes, I expect it spends all that time doing the kind of SIMD floating point math that ICC will really help with. Not waiting on interrupts or mundane stuff like that.
Alot of time when going through resumes, if we try to Google the person, do a usenet lookup or other such things and can't find them anywhere, to us (when evaluating resumes), it means you are lying on your resume or have very little work experience. Mainly because people in IT use the internet day in and day out to communicate, ask the community how to do something and so on.
And if we did a search and found that they'd identified both themselves and their employer while asking technical questions in public forums, that would be a big black mark. In fact a recent security audit forced on us by one of our customers specifically required that the auditor search the Internet for any evidence of our employees accidentally giving away excessive information about our current infrastructure by asking questions in public.
You haven't really considered the implications, probably because you're not actually in the position that you're claiming to be in. Or maybe you're just really bad at it. Either way you're an annoying prick.
Firefox runs on it, for example, as the story summary states.
Oh yes? And does it start instantly?
Because BeOS/Haiku fans are always saying that they love the way that software starts really fast. And I'm just wondering - does that mean that BeOS starts software faster than any other OS dues to its superior "modern" architecture? Or is it just because all the native apps have absolutely fuck all in the way of features and would probably start just as fast on a Pentium 75 running Windows ME?
Before I get into that, I'll note that when I tried your DNS on by box, I did an ethernet trace and found my local 196.168.*.* IPs where being looked up on your service. Apparently I need to run my own BIND to avoid that.
On the one hand you're pretty annoying, but on the other hand you're undoubtedly suffering the effects of a debilitating mental illness. So I think of that as a no score draw.
I just hope your life sucks hard enough to make up for me having read that comment. Frankly it had better involve electro shock therapy at the very least.
Running as non-admin is easy, runas (which is only a right-click away)is very easy to use and works well 99% of the time. The annoying thing is remembering to right-click the msi/exe to use runas:) Do you need AV? IE is how BHO's like vundo get in to your pc, active-x is also a nightmare... I've been saying this for years! I have 5000+ users that we no longer install AV directly on their PC's, and we pass our PCI/DSS and SOX audits every year. There is no excuse for M$ to put users into Admin by default. Windows 7 however it does... the local admin account is disabled... but so what! It's idiotic, lock the administrator, but place a new user into admin group by default. -rich ClearSite
Are you fucking insane?
I'm not talking about the points you're making, whatever the hell they may be. It's just the way you write... that's making me wonder... if you are... genuinely psychotic? -fuck you
The ability to tie a VM to a single processor core would be nice too.
You can do that with ESX, and probably other solutions. Nobody does, because it's almost always a really shitty idea! What benefits are you hoping to achieve by limiting the hypervisor's ability to allocate resources?
But the way I see it now is, I smoke, I've smoked for 20 years, and I'm starting to get the first reduced lung function and I should quit but probably won't and I'll die from it, dragging myself and the rest of society down for a million bucks in chemo and treatment.
Don't worry - I'm sure you can cure that with a Powershell script, you irritating prick.

Can't be that many of them... I reckon half an hour on Google and I can work out who you are...
You seem to be angered by the Op doing his job, to the extent that you wish to track him down and get him fired.
I know it's difficult being a confused, hormonal 14 year old. Seriously though - try not to be such a gigantic faggot about it. This is some seriously pathetic rage against the machine type shit. I hope you remember it long enough to be properly ashamed about it.

If you want a secure browser, blasting IE and then looking towards Firefox is incredibly naive and shows ignorance to the facts.
So just to paraphrase your comment a little, you're basically saying that we should make an effort to "Get the facts"?
Does it really use ddr2-800 instead of ddr-1066?
If you really think it makes the slightest bit of difference, you would probably benefit by fucking off back to HardOCP.
No, you really should not do that.
Sheesh...
No, we only condone DoS attacks here at Slashdot.
