like "stolen TV shows are costing American jobs".
Well, if they mean North American by "American", it's sorta true... since a fair number of TV shows are filmed on the continent of North America... generally in the country of Canada, in the city of Vancouver.
So yes, lets save those Canadian's from unemployment!

Add an occasional 2 other laptops and a netbook depending.. and my gaming workstation (yes. workstation.. dual quad-core opterons) when I hook it back up.
A comparison... though I wasnt to specific on that part, my bad.
It'd be like an article saying that round power plugs are better because they're used on a quadrillion devices, and the new fancy magnetic just hasnt caught on.
Yes, it's patented by Apple and thunderbolt isnt... but the main point stands, until recently, it was only on Apple hardware...
Lets not forget, up until the recent IDC, Intel had stated that Apple was the exclusive system with Thunderbolt...so that does give a very narrow number of systems it could be on.
Also, the Maglock power input connector isnt that common.... because it's only on Apple systems... go figure
But, Force10 switches actually are crap. They're just like Cisco in every way except everything...
At my last job, we had nothing but problems with Force10 equipment...including one which started smoking (literally...) at about 40gbit...
if the equipment is new then you are looking at ~2k per box (could be cheaper if they where using blades but as he is asking about interconnects it isn't)
Still could be blades... if it's more than 1 chassis... 4-10 blades would not really be a super computing cluster, so there's still interconnects between the various units...
Followed by,
The company I work for just purchased 10,000 acres of land on the east coast and I was wondering if anyone on Slashdot had any idea what we should do with it.
Happens all the time!
Housing development... or solid waste disposal...
or an illegal nuclear power plant, running off of stolen Soviet era uranium from their sub fleet...
and... s/done in/done it
Or it could be, as is often the case in the corporate world, that the server admin's hands are tied by their managers, and their manager's managers, etc. A sysadmin may have the best, most secure, idea ever though of, but if someone up the chain decides "we've done in this way for 10 years, we'll continue to do it this way", then it's moot.
Most likely, they're in Europe... where 500,000 is written as 500.000. They swap the "." and ",". So 5,000.95 is 5.000,95, and so on.
So they're right on the money (pun intended).
Redheads... always redheads.... they're much more fun!
And... dont you put peanut butter WITH jelly?
" every current implementation of 4G out (LTE included) is not in fact 4G. 4G has not been deployed commercially anywhere yet. "
BS. Your statement is true only if one accepts the definition of "4G" made by some committee which doesn't want 4G to mean what it actually means.
LTE is in fact a 4th generation technology:
1G: AMPS
2G: CDMA (IS-95) / TDMA (IS-136) / GSM
3G: CDMA2000 (1xRTT/EV-DO) / GPRS/UMTS
4G: LTE / WiMax
Precisely by your own statement, you prove your statement as false. Since it *IS* in fact up to the standards committees to determine what does and does not fall within the standards... Just because a wireless provider calls something 4G does not make it true. But, by your judgement, if I setup a ham radio system for internet access, and call it WiFi, and sell it as WiFi, then it really is the same as WiFi, and everyone that says it's not is wrong...
LTE and WiMax are 3.5G... cause I sure the hell as do not get anywhere near 1gbit/s while stationary with my HTC EVO Shift 4G phone...
In the case of reality, phones labeled as 4G are using it as a marketing term only
Terrorist A: Surgically implanted detonator in penis...

But would they get their virgins after what they had to do to detonate the bomb...
Most WiFi routers do not have a 3.5mm audio out jack. A vast number do not have USB ports which will recognize printers and drives (and even work with USB hubs so you can have both).
He doesnt mean you can stream from 1 PC to another, or print to a network printer, or a printer attached to another PC. Plug speakers into Airport Express. Stream music to Airport Express. Music comes out of speakers. No further PC required.
I believe you mean "Melanin" and not 'Melatonin", which is a neurohormone, and is produced by the body, as well as in plants.. and is sold as a sleep aid/dietary supplement...
