Looking for a replacement of the original HS1 system (also based on mac) they went to view what the UK and US authorities had made and found that their Windows based were too slow and difficult to manage. They found that they had to double the amount of people to manage the system, just to keep the current overview.
The article has some pictures of the actual monitoring station, placed in the old womens penitentiary.
Among the hardware are 13 Mac Pros and 73 Mac Minis
Original language found here."

This makes Microsoft's 497 million euro fine in 2004 (which was a record at the time) seem like a slap on the hand. Reports had previously suggested that the fine would be similar to Microsoft's. Intel was charged (among other things) with encouraging manufacturers and retailers to purchase fewer (or even not stock) AMD processors. More details of the ruling are on the European Commission's Competition website."

Submission + - free or cheap network measuring tools

lyberth writes: I want to make some measurements of networks. Currently i know of the excelent but very expensive tools from Ixia or Codima. It should be able to measure things like throughput, jitter, packetloss so that it will be easy to agree with a customer that there is or is not a problem with the network before implementing VoIP. If the tools can find causes of network flaws its fine, but main issue is to document a networks readines for VoIP. What tools do you recommend?

Intel of course denies but otherwise niether Intel nor Skat is commenting at the moment.
