A certain general would like to speak to you: http://www.brainyquote.com/quo...

That would in fact be the 6th Century (BC).

Because 0.1 exaflops is still "exascale", but not "exaflops"... :)

TFA is a bit light on details, but (having heard of GaN before), it is good at handling large voltages/currents, and they are probably talking about more efficient power supplies (saving 20%, apparently), not replacing Si in logic chips. Or maybe integrating power conversion onto processor die itself, but the latter is still made of good old CMOS. Currently, from what I've heard, a good chunk of pins on your processor are used to supply power -- if you think of it, 30W processor with 3V bias needs to get 10A of current.

Mod this up. (I've already posted in the thread, so I can't.)

Did you confront the responsible party? No? Then don't ask everyone else to fix your problem, which is with that person, not with us or the Internet.

I can see you've not actually been to Shenzhen recently. I have.

Yes because total control of the commons worked SOOO well for the Soviet Union and their satellites. Governments with total common ownership are responsible for the worst ecological catastrophies in history. Even today, China, with total control of their energy industry, has the worst air pollution in the world.

Face it, the idea that command and control is the only way is a total lie. An open and free market for technological innovation will save the environment, not mimicking failed God damned central planning from last century.

Yep. Your comment speaks to a typo in the story. It says the driver update broke their computers. When it should have said the update broke Microsoft's computers.

You don't own what you don't control.

You could look into Lustre, although it would change your hardware configuration a bit (its not a SAN) Depending on your configuration and desired redundancy, this will affect costs a bit (i.e.. more luster nodes).

You could by a traditional SAN and tie it all together with fibre, though you'd need a clustered file system like Stornext, or another commercial CFS, or even GFS if you prefer open source. This would help solve your traversal of the system as a regular directory structure issue.

Best bet for backup would be to a robot tape library of some sort. There is some work being done on dynamic backup of data in Luster systems in the HPC space, but its not very mature. CFS systems like Sternest have methods in place for automatically backing up data on the filesystem.

Solitaire is for chumps. All the cool kids know that 3D Pinball is where it's at.

That's because your parser's broken.

Breaking themes and extensions with every new release isn't a useful feature? Who could tell?

which gives a very nice view of the upcoming windows 10 OS doesn't it?
