  1. Status Quo on New Group Paves Way For 2012 Online Primary · · Score: 1

    Remember, no politician in office will vote to change the system that put them in power

  2. Time to move on on Ask Slashdot: Handing Over Personal Work Without Compensation? · · Score: 1

    The job you have now doesn't meet your needs for challenges and activity. If downtime isn't good for you, you need to find a position that meets both your financial terms and stimulates your creative requirements.

  3. Datacenter location is more complex than cooling.. on The Fjord-Cooled Data Center · · Score: 2

    You have to figuring in more than just cooling:

    1. How much does power cost in the location
    2. How much power is available. Data centers suck huge amounts no matter how efficient.
    3. Do people want that heat island near them.
    4. Is the data center near the consumer of its resources? Latency still matters to me.

  4. Re:Singularity on Ice Cream Sandwich Ported To X86 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This sound like Microsoft's strategy all over again. Anyway you cut it a single platform ecosystem is ugly, as it just lets another monopoly.

    New boss same as the old boss

  5. Re:Alternative... on Study Says Quantum Wavefunction Is a Real Physical Object · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sheldon Cooper is going to be pissed.....

  6. Microsoft on Google To Acquire Motorola Mobility For $12.5 Bill · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This will probably force Microsoft to buy Nokia outright. As much as they would like to just collect license fees, they need a vertically integrated platform.

  7. Oh oh..... on Towards a World Wide Grid? · · Score: 1

    Imagine the amount of SPAM this will pump out after it gets hit with a worm....

  8. Re:who is linking this to the backbone? on Spammers Hijacking IP Space · · Score: 1

    I poked around a little, and it looks like Level3 ,XO and cogent are peering directly with them.

    Probably others as well.

  9. Re:Single, double, triple, and quad on AMD Announces Triple-Core Phenom Processors · · Score: 1

    It depends:

    If the old process produces a single core processor at cost y, but the new process produces a processor with a single viable core at y * 1.1, then it makes sense to fill the single core market with the old process devices.

  10. Remote monitoring on How to Protect a Home When Away in Winter? · · Score: 2, Informative

    We use a device from this company to monitor our data centers for power, temperature and water intrusion.

    This should work, but you still need a trusted indevidual locally to handle any problem that came up.

  11. Re:My favorite on Surprises in Microsoft Vista's EULA · · Score: 1

    Does this include installing Linux on the box Vista came on?

  12. Re:Laziness, ignorance or on Google's Technology Explored · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In my experience, you can add, "don't want to pay for". Some of the places I have worked for aren't lazy, ignorant of the possibilities; they have made a deliberate decision to work cheap. They will accept the downtime from a quick and dirty design, rather than pay for better design. It's all in the numbers, how much will we lose if we are down.

    Would this be Friday the 13th?
