Comment IPv6 (Score 1) 61

includes broadcast

basically you need to figure out the phy/eth portion of the network not the software side

so if you can do SDN/Software defined radio and come up with a nice way to scale then your good

I would have thought that zigbee / sensor networks would already scale you just have to boost range but hey thats me just guessing

Comment web applications (Score 4, Insightful) 182

Thats nice I still don't understand why my tax's are spent on OS license only for the users to login to web applications

Linux supports kerberos so authentication is not a problem its down to choices and management

what would be interesting would be what applications they need to run... is there a list somewhere ?

Comment already in as a file server.... (Score 1) 55

ARM based servers already has file server cluster design win's

http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4407353/Baidu-taps-Marvell-for-32-bit-ARM-storage-server

what will be intresting is ability to leverage designs for phones as clusters because then you can use the volume e.g. SOC for phones costs $20 roughly so imagine filling a DC with those...

Comment honestly adverts and HTML... comments... (Score 1) 61

seriously start tracking things rather than trying to guess

start tracking conversions i.e. when a offer or advert is placed how many people click through and how many order...
this is why google does so well

stop pushing lots and lots of display adverts they simply turn people off

I'm fine with facebook I know they will track me but give more power to the advertisers and reduce the adverts in the "news feed"

as long as they honer Do not track for all browsers except Internet Explorer I'm fine with them

also please sort out your mobile site so its exactly the same as the app version...

EVERY I mean every year in Australia some tourists die because they did not pack any water and their 4x4 + GPS fails...

what happens is that the 4x4 is driven by the man/women that has no clue of driving in the outback... no nothing compares to the the great outback...

combined with

a blind faith in GPS...

leathal combination

what does not help here is TOM TOM

honestly speaking as someone living in australia the map makers from the netherlands who do a fantastic job in most other places... are frankly useless in australia

apple uses tomtom for routes combined with the fact apple cant get the POI in Australia COMPLETELY WRONG I mean there was the case of the apple store in sydney being in the wrong place (many streets away) and cairns being in the wrong place (this is a MAJOR town) I mean many 100 miles/kilometres wrong

honestly they need to get this sorted... just pay for the data apple wake up crowd sourcing is a fact check not the only source

ok reading the list nick had this to say :

"
Accusing us of violating GPL is a serious legal claim.

In fact, we are not violating GPL. In short, this is because we wrote
the code you are referring to (the SCSI target core in our commercial
RTS OS product), we have exclusive copyright ownership of it, and this
code contains no GPL code from the community. GPL obligations only
apply downstream to licensees, and not to the author of the code. Those
who use the code under GPL are subject to its conditions; we are not.

As you know, we contributed the Linux SCSI target core, including the
relevant interfaces, to the Linux kernel. To be clear, we wrote that
code entirely ourselves, so we have the right to use it as we please.
The version we use in RTS OS is a different, proprietary version, which
we also wrote ourselves. However, the fact that we contributed a
version of the code to the Linux kernel does not require us to provide
our proprietary version to anyone.

If you want to understand better how dual licensing works, perhaps we
can talk off list. But we don’t really have a responsibility to respond
to untrue accusations, nor to explain GPL, nor discuss our proprietary
code.

We’re very disappointed that Red Hat would not be more professional in
its communications about licensing compliance matters, particularly to a
company like ours that has been a major contributor to Linux and
therefore also to Red Hat’s own products. So, while I invite you to
talk about this with us directly, I also advise you – respectfully – not
to make public accusations that are not true. That is harmful to our
reputation – and candidly, it doesn’t reflect well on you or your
company.
"
so basically if they developed the code and use a closed source OS that is not linux then redhat don't have a leg to stand on...

if they use a module inserted into linux then it will "taint" the OS then it gets shifty...

have fun
