Comment Re:The two I legally need to have to go about my d (Score 2) 380

And you need to be concerned with his concealment of carried a firearm why?

Assuming he lives in the US, it is his right to do so. If we don't regularly exercise our rights, we often find ourselves in situations where they are no longer our rights.

Personally, I have never even fired a gun, but I feel safer with people legitimately carrying them. (warning, cliche) If guns were outlawed, only outlaws would have them. I like the fact that a criminal should to be aware that he might not be the only one with a gun on him before. I think more people should carry a firearm.

Yes. Exactly the definition of "like". This is exactly why I chose the word. I'm sure CISCO's intellectual property goons would take issue if it were EXACTLY IDENTICAL (why I did not use the words 'exactly' or 'identical' in the original comment). Good for you with your mastery of IOS. I've had no troubles with BGP or any tunneling/VPN I've had to set up with Vyatta, we use it extensively in a very large virtualization environment. The original posted question was asking if there was any enterprise grade hardware that ran linux, not your opinion of the hardware and it's configuration compared to IOS.
If they ran IOS on it, it wouldn't be linux and it would defeat the original posed question.

Mod parent up! Vyatta CLI is very much like the other big network vendors as far as configuration goes. The hardware is the choice, however they do actually provide appliances. Vyatta is excellent for both routing and firewall purposes. Above link points local, here is actual link: http://www.vyatta.com/solutions/physical/appliances

Irritating. Take your correctness somewhere else. Ever seen a link on the 'web' to something like SSH, or a UNC path to a windows/samba share, how about an email link? These are not 'web' but still exist within the 'web'. Your concept of what the "web" or internet has evolved into is outdated. Yes, I understand what HTTP is as well as most other common protocols out there, and yes I know the tcp/ip stack up and down. Another thing about these streaming sites like Hulu - likely, they are not even using HTTP for the media. Some other application/media server normally handles the streaming to try to keep it as proprietary and controlled as possible. Even if "web browser only" was more correct, I wouldn't need flash/silverlight

You appear to be oversimplifying and over complicating the matter at the same time. Stop. Nobody cares. Next time, try to contribute something.

A friend of mine in law enforcement explained to me that those "scared straight" programs are mostly worthless. The kids come in, take a look, and say "Oh that isn't going to be me, I am way smarter than those fools."

I'll definitely agree they are MOSTLY worthless. The kids that were still pretty hardcore on drugs and into larceny were still pretty hardcore on drugs and into larceny. Those of us who were not yet into that kind of thing, did not ever go into that kind of lifestyle. I still keep in touch with most of those guys too. I wont go as far as to say I would have picked up that lifestyle if I hadn't gone through the jail, but I can definitely say that it made up my mind at the time.

I had my fun in high school and college. I am just not super motivated or at all interested in politics enough to worry about the political power junkies. I stay off their radar, they stay off mine. I still hold the view that if more of these kids understood the consequences of jail, we'd have less of them in it. *over generalization* I guess you are a drug abusing hippy without a job spending all your time resisting "the man"? *over generalization off*

And we also seem to realize that taking kids on field trips to see humans in jail wouldn't be prudent either.

Not the case - I was on a traveling football team in my younger years (early teen). We had drug and theft issues running through the community and team. We were actually brought to see the humans in jail. I decided at that moment that it was never going to be the place for me. Maybe we should take MORE of our kids to see humans in jail.

Comment Re:Where are the cores? (Score 1) 226

One word: necessity. They simply haven't had to. Besides render/compute farms, we don't really need that kind of power. Most of what may have been pushed towards those massively parallel processors is now being pushed towards the GFX cards - where they DO have more than 80 cores (think CUDA, greater than 512 cores now). Most of the games out there still struggle to use more than a few actual processor threads. Some problems are linear and simply can't have more cores thrown at them for faster work.

Windows Vista Enters Extended Support 330

yuhong writes "On April 10, the second Tuesday of April, Windows Vista will exit Mainstream Support and enter Extended Support. This means that no-charge (free) support will end, no further service packs will be created, nor will future IE versions (such as IE10) be available for Vista. Also, no new non-security hotfixes will be created or be available without an Extended Hotfix Support Agreement (EHSA). This will last for 5 years before support for Vista completely ends in 2017."
