  1. Re:Still don't want one on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 1

    There would be exactly one sold and my girlfriend would own it. :D

  2. Re:Still don't want one on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's just crazy talk.

    EVERYBODY wants an American Girl doll.

    This coming from a guy named "Americano". Hardly surprising.

  3. Why? on PSVita Released In the USA and Europe · · Score: 1
    FTFS : "Can Sony stop homebrewers from taking over this console?"

    Why would they want to do that? It doesn't cost them anything to let people hack on it.

  4. Re:Noticeable improvement on Apache 2.4 Takes Direct Aim At Nginx · · Score: 1

    How are you measuring that? Single client, single connection?

  5. All that and the configuration on Apache 2.4 Takes Direct Aim At Nginx · · Score: 1

    My biggest problem with Apache is configuring it. The configuration file is simply a mess. You have overrides that can be included from other files, etc. Even using Webmin doesn't make the configuration that much easier.

  6. Re:Fsck times on What's the Damage? Measuring fsck Under XFS and Ext4 On Big Storage · · Score: 2

    They were using 15K RPM SAS drives. Your 7200 RPM drives aren't going to touch the speed of 15K RPM drives on a SAS backplane. Not by a long shot.

  7. Can't tell if trolling or serious on Firefox Javascript Engine Becomes Single Threaded · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is that patterns have become so many and so complicated that I can't tell if you're joking or not. Proactor pattern? Is that really a thing?

  8. Re:ABSOLUTELY !! on Ask Slashdot: Is Your Data Safe In the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    A cloud is a large thing made entirely out of vapour.

    I think the punch line there was supposed to be vapor(ware).

  10. Re:hmm... on Ice Cream Sandwich Ported To X86 · · Score: 1

    When you saying "calling into non-Java code", you're talking about the JNI, right?

  11. Re:It'd better happen quick then on Is the Time Finally Right For Hybrid Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    I'd be curious to see an apples to apples comparison between cache sizes of disks from the same manufacturer. The problem is that the controller might be much more optimized on one drive more so than another (IE, the cache won't make so much of a difference). For instance, I've heard WD drives are very much not optimized for utilize their cache effectively, although I can't find anything to actually back that up.

  12. Re:FOG (PXE backup/clone) + DBAN on Ask Slashdot: Networked Back-Up/Wipe Process? · · Score: 1

    We use Linux on the backend, but thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware Windows Server had this.

  13. Re:FOG (PXE backup/clone) + DBAN on Ask Slashdot: Networked Back-Up/Wipe Process? · · Score: 1

    I'd prefer to have the VOIP on it's own subnet, but getting a second switch on the backend was a no-go. I've got a patch panel, so I've got expandibality built in. When it comes time to deploy, I'll try to get the budget to drop one in the rack. But I can't rely on getting gear, so I assume I won't have it to be on the safe side.

  14. Re:FOG (PXE backup/clone) + DBAN on Ask Slashdot: Networked Back-Up/Wipe Process? · · Score: 1

    Have you used FOG at all? I'm in the middle of a project where I have to setup a PXE boot server to install Windows to a bunch of boxes. The rub of it is that I've already got a DHCP server and I'm a bit weary of running the FOG installer that is going to reconfigure my production server (which already has a TFTP server installed). I'm also a bit worried that when we switch over to VOIP phones I'll need that TFTP server to serve configuration to the phones.

    If you have any experience with these setups, I'd be eager to hear any advice you could share.

  15. Re:Let's swap governments! on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 1

    As an American, I can deal with this.

  16. Re:quick tip on Fedora 16 Released · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the heads up. This is a stupid bug to have, but in my experience Anaconda and preupgrade fail about as often as they work.

  17. Re:Harmony what now? on Apache Harmony Moves To Apache Attic · · Score: 1

    That makes sense as the .NET CLR is basically what Microsoft went to after the licensing issues with J#. As I understand it, the CLR and JVM are very similar virtual machines.

  18. It's about libraries now on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 1

    And libvirt is, IMHO, the library that will be used for managing VMs going forward. It's virtual platform agnostic (right now it's Xen and KVM, but I think it will expand in the future), and has bindings for many languages.

    You should ask TheRaven64 on Slashdot about this. He wrote the book on Xen, literally, IIRC.

  23. Caffeine is awesome on Military Labs Develop Caffeinated Jerky and "Zapplesauce" · · Score: 2

    Caffeine is an awesome drug. So long as your job doesn't ever consist of accurately firing a weapon or going long durations without peeing.

  24. Re:IF you want flexibility and faster.... on Ask Slashdot: DD-WRT Upgrade To 802.11n? · · Score: 1

    When you say that you're using a pair of dedicated AP's, are you setting them to the same SID? I'm about to start a project for adding wireless over a warehouse where I'll need to use more than a single AP to cover the area. Have you found it to work reliably and seamlessly? Any info would be appreciated so I can learn from others mistakes.
