Comment Fit 120 HDDs in 4U enclosure? (Score 1) 358

My rough calculation says the volume of 120 HDDs (3.5") will use 90% of the volume of a 4U container. I can't imagine how to physically position the HDDs inside the container.

Maybe they are using 2.5" HDDs each of which has 8x less volume than a 3.5" HDD. That would be an easier exercise.

In either case, the drives are probably not hot-swap (unless you do it like a puzzle)

Submission + - Apple Said to Be Exploring Switch From Intel for Mac (bloomberg.com)

concealment writes: "Apple Inc. (AAPL) is exploring ways to replace Intel Corp. (INTC) processors in its Mac personal computers with a version of the chip technology it uses in the iPhone and iPad, according to people familiar with the company’s research.

Apple engineers have grown confident that the chip designs used for its mobile devices will one day be powerful enough to run its desktops and laptops, said three people with knowledge of the work, who asked to remain anonymous because the plans are confidential. Apple began using Intel chips for Macs in 2005."

I agree completely. The Star Trek: Judgment Rites released following that game was also great and seemed to capture to a suprising degree the flavor of the old show.

I just saw the "Not your father's Star Trek" trailer for the movie the other day. It seems to dovetail this new mindless shoot'em up game. I'm sad to see Star Trek de-evolve from an interesting, optimistic future into a rehash of Tom Corbett or Flash Gordon fighting BEMs (but with better sfx, of course.)

Yes, I am old.
