    Now we know what that 30,000 node EC2 cluster was for...

  2. We need a cat! on DisplayPort-To-HDMI Cables May Be Recalled Over Licensing · · Score: 1

    As Albert Einstein described radio..."You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." So what kind of cat do we need?

    We use our product with Marathon's everRun FT. Just starting to do load testing using the Xen with their 2g product. It looks nice, but the second layer of management gets to be a pain.

  9. Sorry, but going with Richard on this one. on De Icaza Responds To Stallman · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Richard - "The first thing we see is that the organization ducks the issue of users' freedom; it uses the term "open source" and does not speak of "free software"."

    Miguel - "The creation of the CodePlex foundation was an internal effort of people that believe in open source at Microsoft. "

    Open source on whose terms?

  11. Re:Nice try but I'll wait on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    The HP TC42/4400 should come with virtualization technology. Actually, look in your BIOS to see if it's there (it's usually a BIOS setting in the consumer-line of HP laptops.)

    Maybe I've got it mixed up with the nx9420

    The TC4200 is Pentium M, no VT.

  12. Re:Nice try but I'll wait on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    Same here, but from a different angle. I love my HP TC4200 tablet. It's faster than the Atom processors, the screen is perfect - non-glossy 12.1" 1024x768 pressure sensitive. 2 GB Ram, 250 MB HD (upgraded), 3 USB ports, SD card, PCMCIA (!), 56k modem, Gb ethernet and bluetooth. The battery is still good for 3+ hours on a full charge and it's built like a tank. I've looked at replacing it, but keep coming back to it as it has everything I need except for VT. I'll just live without that.

    Using KVM with 2.6.18 to run Windows XP Pro. System is an Acer 5100 laptop (Turion X2 TL-50, with 2 GB RAM and 5400 rpm HD). XP performance is acceptable for daily use. Run Win98se as well, but have to disable KVM and run with just qemu. Performance is OK there as well. Looking to install OS/2 Warp for kicks, but need to make floppy images.
