Re: where'd the hand-grenade icon go ?

Also: Why does it say "we are sorry you didn't like this post" when I downvote one.

I would imagine moderatrix (or El Reg) being glad that moronic commentards are quibbling amongst themselves ?

PS: I didn't downvote any post on this article - it's a general question.

Maybe it wasn't healthy (before doorjam) after all ?

Re: searchterm searchterm searchterm -expertsexchange.com

I think the original post wanted to add in his profile the list of domains they are not interested in - so they will never show up in search without having to use search syntax everytime.

Re: Am I alone.

It's referring to aftermath of your nocturnal activities.

Next you will say what's Paris ?

RE: Neurobiology, creationism and naturalism

Unless... there really is no portion of brain exclusively devoted to devotees ? That should preempt

the debate.

PS: I wish I was as smarter and counter argue in a constructive manner, but as you can see I am the sort who gets tingly feelings by looking at a 2x2 of Paris.

Re: um...yay?

> its only ever when big business makes moves like these that prices ever drop for the mainstream

Reverse is equally, if not more, true.

Eg: x86 walks all over itanium because the consumers use x86, the R&D (& a few other) cost is subsidized. Similarly flash started with consumers and when smartphones, airbooks and other flash oriented storage made the technology reliable & cheap enough, enterprise entered the market.

re: eva

If EVA is entry level, what is MSA (P2000) ?

Anyway, personally, I think while it's fine to keep all 4 and let the market decide, but having a 2.5 billion$ investment and call it 2nd tier is foolish (your margins are highest on the top tier, that's where you expensively R&D'd products belong).. It should be polished and replace the top tier, if

it can't already.

To be fair..

dude... HP as printer company is a totally different beast from HP as a an eterprise datacenter vendow (much higher accountability should be expected).

title deed

> don't consider Toshiba a serious maker of hard disk drives.

Nowdays Toshiba is more of an enterprise drive maker, IIUC.

Re: Why?

I understand the movie is a spoof but if the camera angle and lighting are not good, it irritates me.

Having said that, I like your point no.2 &3!

Did Einstein say that ?

It's accredited to him, but I've not seen a "real" source back up this quote.

ILM is buzz TCO can be handy.

TCO by itself is a pretty useful tool. It's the (over/incorrect)application to sell a bad product is bad. Instinctively one does TCO calculations all the time in your life as a buyer:

Why people buy sucky japanese cars over sturdy germans ? TCO.

Why buy CLF over incandescent ? TCO.

Why pay taxes over being a fugitive ? TCO.

Why buy a 300$ phone w/o contract than a 50$ with one ? TCO.

In enterprise worlds, companies like IBM are restructuring themselves to give you a low cost(= low barrier) of entry and a high TCO for lifetime. Windows is another example of high lifetime TCO if you add downtimes, anti-virus, office suite.

Marry or date Paris ?

By any chance you were accessing local Armenian site only ?

Awesome!

Re: Reply to post: ouch

It's older than Megan Fox as well.

Surprising (to me) to see how many of those oldest name are still around. (intel, hp, ibm, amd to name a few). dec.com redirects to hp.com now..

Redhat are doing the best they can given the situation. Suing is not an option coz unlike proprietary code (basis of SAP lawsuit), customers are not property of the vendor!

$subj in hex: 25AD2AEDA.

Or "Too SAD to AEDA".

Doesn't make sense at first - What's AEDA ? The first google result says: Alzheimer's Association Early Detection Alliance. Woohooo, too close to the topic of the article, innit ?
