Ok that figures. Have dealt with OVH - never again!
That's pretty damn cheap. What's the catch? If there isn't one, I'll take two! Cheaper than Azure!
* and workstations. It's one of the reasons I do a lot of my work on a proper machine with ECC and SAS disks. Due to some duff RAM a few years ago I lost a week of work. It silently corrupted filesystem buffers.
They make awful servers. Limited upgrade possibilities, tiny storage, poor airflow, not ECC RAM, no redundancy in network interfaces or power supplies, no remote console and you have to bastardise the things to get two…
No sale. This has to stop somewhere. They're not smartphones.
I assume that was a pr0n whinger? I used that intentionally to prevent the association of HN with the other form of the word. It is polite IMHO.
Yes. This happened to a company I worked for in the UK in the last 1990s. We had a half rack full of NT4 machines and someone got into our kit and used it to run a pr0n FTP. They took us to court to pay up and the…
Java EE 7 web profile is pretty light. If you consider they put JSF on hold then it points to other bits of Java EE that are probably persistent: Java EE Web profile, hibernate (via JPA), JAX-RS. That's a pretty good…
No they're not. I've worked with them. They are pretty good at turning around typical enterprise tech platforms that are in trouble. I'm not talking about CRUD stuff but heavy integration and workflow stuff with…
Well actually a bad example of their business model because they can piss off they think I'm buying another one. She's getting the innards chucked in a T420 with a 1440x900 screen and windows 8.1
My wife has a 2011 MBP blessed with a 1280x800 screen and the Helvetica face looks pretty bad from a type point of view. It's not unreadable but the type has lost its definition completely. Unfortunately "after…
Interesting! However if you want one fast core, you're screwed :)
Not tried to push it but it has 20 Windows Server 2012 R2 instances running on it at the moment all with 8Gb of memory (this is overcommitted dynamic memory). Disk is on a SAN larger than my kitchen. I span up a Linux…
Not a scientific measure by ANY measure, but a similar core I googled appears to kick out about 200 bogomips whereas a virtual Xeon E5-2690 v2 core on one of my machines knocks out 5984 bogomips. I have 20 of those Xeon…
I don't know of any executable configuration files on any Unix derivatives. There are init scripts, but they are not configuration; they are instructions. There are scripts with metadata attached (rc.d items) which may…
Not really a deep Linux user here but systemd brings the bad bits of windows to Linux: Abstract stateful configuration, black boxes and communications to do simple tasks. As someone who supports lots of software built…
These reasons stick out for me: 1. NT is very small. A 66MHz / 24Mb system can still throw up a desktop. 2. The UI is entirely hardware accelerated WPF. 3. You're right about the AOT which is done off the device. It…
Shame it took 10 minutes to complete it for me. Not sure it was value for money but it looked and felt good.
That's ok until there's a provider that they don't have in their database. This may be a big problem for the smaller virtual operators or calling card outfits.
Their friends all have them after they broke their iPhones so they're happy :)
A UDP packet walks into a bar. A UDP packet walks into a bar.
Is that sarcastic? Can't tell on here ;-)
They do a 635 with LTE as well. I've owned a Sony android device (Xperia SP) Never again. Total bag of crap. Sold it and got a Moto G which was crap too. Neither devices could handle more than three tabs open without…
Yep. I miss key a lot less than my old android. Plus I just found out you can download mp3s straight to storage and play them in xbox music. I'm selling the kids' iPhones and getting them winphones so I don't have to…
Off topic but for those of you doing this manually on vista and above there are two tools built into windows which are helpful. Both are launched from the start menu and are available on all machines: 1. Snipping tool.…
