The only storage array I know of that comes as a sealed unit where you don't do drive swaps, is the Xiostorage ISE [1]. It's a very fast array for the money, but it's not particularly high-end. All the high end arrays, both in terms of perf

TCS (and the other similar companies) have plenty of very good developers, but many of their clients are only willing to pay for the cheapest available, technically qualified, body in a seat, so that's what they get. However, if you're will

I've felt for a few years now that server notifications, bug reports, etc, should almost never go to email clients. Sure you can use email to generate the ticket, but they need to go into a CRM / bug tracking system of some kind. Otherwise

Pretty much all the posts on that thread are reasons for the functionality: * Transaction fees that people have to pay on their credit card * Budgeting purposes * Expense handling if you're buying the company services on a personal card (th

If you look at some recent "freemium" games like My Little Pony [1], then mobile games can very quickly start to cost $50 or more. In that case, it was selling a single in-game pony for £50/$80, but cut the price for that pony to $8 after u

You have to make a really quick and easy search on the front page which lets me check out which suppliers are available in my area. Otherwise, you're just wasting everyone's time. [edit] having signed up for the product since I want to be n

I don't have a great citation to hand, but one of the key offerings of Autonomy is software which does exactly that - combs through discovery documents, reducing the number of lawyers needed. http://www.autonomy.com/content/Customers/verti

I don't believe he said that the cost of using a lawyer should become more expensive, did he? All I read is that if they did become more expensive, people would work out other ways to get things done.

Switching to using a fountain pen has made my left-handed writing much better, mostly because I have to slow down and think about how I put the pen to paper, rather than just scrawl it along. Lamy do left-handed nibs which help a lot. I'm v

You need 768MB of RAM for Android 4, and realistically a decent GPU. 256MB and the most basic $0.50 ARM chipset from Qualcomm [1][2] will get you up and running on Android 2.x. 1 - http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7225&c=qualco

You can get higher power density in a rack in pretty much any UK DC, you just need to pay for it. The problem is you often end up paying for the rack space that would be allocated for the total power you're using, without actually getting t

A couple of thoughts: Is Javascript really the language to use when you're seemingly trying to talk to non-developers - either small business owners or business analysts at larger companies? I can see lots of uses for Ragic, but I don't kno

It's always interesting to read RMS' posts, though I don't agree with a lot of them. In this case, he's got a very valid point (I disabled the adverts on my Ubuntu install), but he uses such over the top language that it makes much of his w

Why would Google want to buy a smallish network operator that only operates in one country, and unsuccessfully at that? There's an ongoing trend on tech blogs when talking about mobile, they think that what happens in the USA is the only th

I'm happy running an OVH / Kimsufi server, costs me £25 a month + VAT from the UK site, it works brilliantly. Support is essentially non-existant, it's at best "Don't call us unless the box is power dead". But for the price, that's fine, if

Of course today you can get over 90% of the required software off the shelf, see cloudstack and openstack, both used in clusters of 1000s of production servers running 10,000s of VMs.

I agree 100%. If anything, an enforced cap will increase the exclusivity of an offer, and reduce the number of people who hold off until the last day to back a project - they're the people who are really preordering a product name, not back
