Comment Re:Go Elon (Score 2) 156

He is bringing bold thinking into the limelight. There is alot more bold thinking and research going on that we are not fully aware of (E.g. CRISPR) in different fields of science. I see him as an inspiration.

On his record, I do not believe the engineering capabilities were of commodotized to a point necessary to achieve what he is doing. It would only be possible inside secret government facilities.

Comment Calculation (Score 1) 424

They should calculate a number of trees to be planted per country and allow countries to trade up/down based on a credit system.

It is quite straight forward really. What I would be curious to see is the timeline under which it would make an impact. Is this something that takes 20 years once planted or takes a year? Does it result in a steady state system or is it a once off measure to capture the output?

This is about corporate. I have upward of 2000+ servers and $1.5billion in spend. All i need is one vendor/partner to cry foul and say that their platform depends on unsupported technology that is subject to a zero day flaw resulting in me having to spend stupid cash for one vendor not having an upgrade strategy. Awesome from Ubuntu.

Whats important to recognize is that they understand their needs of their fellow sysadmins and teams and they are willing to commit engineers and r&d to support. They should be rewarded for this.

Comment This is the future... (Score 1) 255

As bad as you think it could be, this is the future for most countries.

Just as telescopes are lenses that look into the past, China/India are lenses into the future of eventual overpopulated countries. Granted that this one of many futures as China/India are different. ...however... its coming. Prepare for it.

Just as you've got the war on cash to get everyone into a system that can be tracked, this will force more people into a future fully monitored society.

Comment Re:More likely AMD is f'd (Score 1) 189

Yup. This is very very sad indeed. Market forces as a result of intel marketing and a couple of bad runs from AMD push AMD to sell their goose to china.

Even worse... Intel short changing customers with poor security within their chips sacrifice chip integrity for quick wins over AMD.

USA wins the short game, loose the war.
