  1. Re:Save energy ? what the hell ? on LHC Offline Until April 2009 (Or Longer) · · Score: 0

    that's what im talking about. eu, the neighboring governments of switzerland, even switzerland have funded a lot of things in the past.

    cant they arrange the kind if supply to feed this experiment ? no need to answer - they can. and thats what im asking for.

  2. Save energy ? what the hell ? on LHC Offline Until April 2009 (Or Longer) · · Score: 2, Funny

    the BIGGEST and probably the most important experiment ever conceived is underway, and they are being left to think about saving energy ?

    if there is anything that world shouldnt be saving energy, if there is anything that needs to be subsidized by governments, this is it.

    because, this is IT. if the god particle is found, the smallest block of EXISTENCE will be found.

    im appalled how EU is not being of sufficient assistance in this. unbelievable.

  3. no it aint like that on IBM Threatens To Leave ISO Over OOXML Brouhaha · · Score: 1

    companies HAVE characteristics.

    because, after some point, making more money just doesnt matter much to the owners, employees of a successful company. only exceptions are financial institutions, like banks etc, but then again their SOLE activity is money, so success = money.

    anything other than that, a company has characteristics. it is defined by the top management in great measure, but also employees of the corporation.

    in tech sector this goes further. people reflect their ideas in their work, and when you combine the resultant effect, it becomes how a company behaves.

    i can tell you, as a shared host, windows hosting is SO low in demand that many shared hosts do not offer it.

    1and1 is the most disastrous and infamous host in the business btw, from the reviews and horror stories, and what i experienced first hand trying to bail out clients from there. avoid like a plague.

    If the RIAA is not doing anything good, then they will fail.

    did nazis fail ? it took a world war to make them fail.

    no. there are also concepts named repression and control in life. organizations like riaa rely on them. they do not aim to succeed in anything. they just want to repress you and make you do what they want.

    im wondering why did such companies like google, yahoo et al didnt readily form into such groups with the advocacy organizations BEFORE crap like acta, copyright cops come up. wasnt it a foreseeable fact that defending important facets of the new information revolution would be a necessity sooner or later ?

    this is not your average publicly traded company that is run by MBA types who do not have anything to trifle with in an already oversaturated, almost price-fixed, stagnant sector. this is a tech company in fast paced, speedily evolving tech field. miss one step, and youre out of step with what's going on, and out.

    if a tech company cant find anything good with 40 bn, given how high the cost of any investing in improvement in technology, i dont know who can.

  9. let me tell you what retarded fantasy is on Microsoft To Buy Back $40bn of Its Shares · · Score: 1

    The fantasy you think you are living is retarded.

    you bought a screaming computer from newegg, loaded vista on it, and its screaming, right ?

    wake up call - if you have loaded xp on it, it would have taken you to the stars. thats how vista falls back in system performance behind xp.

    no surprise though, you are a former mac user. you dont know anything about how versatile and powerful pc platform is, and 'just working' is something that is not accepted as the norm in pc world. if something 'just works' it means it can probably do more.

    welcome to the world of pc.

  10. what server room ? on Microsoft To Buy Back $40bn of Its Shares · · Score: 1

    whereas IIS servers generally serve single websites, linux webservers are generally run by shared web hosting companies, giving out close to 300 websites (in separate accounts) from each box.

    that is the way it is in the datacenter farms that are crammed with boxes these days. (especially theplanet.com is biggest, but there are many).

    there is no server beachhead for microsoft. what generally happens is that, when an already locked in small business running microsoft products realizes that they need a web site and they can host it, they just put up a box with IIS in-house, serving internet. voila - another IIS server added to microsoft's growing list of servers using IIS. how many websites does that box host ? one.
