If it were pink, orange or all the colors of the rainbow, no iCrap for me...

And where is Android in this comparison?

Totally useless... If your home equipment can saturate the link, the server on the other side most likely cannot... Not to even mention the limited bandwith across the ocean links...

I'm not into the broken glass look, but taste differs... Mod on I would say! ;)

I would go for Debian... Buisinesscard install, no X, no fuss, no overhead I have never used SSD's, but that might be an option too ;) I hope every new version of Windows brings in improved networking stacks... But I seriously don't know. Doing anything related to networking on Windows is just...

How we do it at work is impossible for any tech site to reproduce. We use packet generators (Like Ixia and Spirent). We are more interested in protocol handling and throughput then "useful" transfers. For us it makes no sense to see how long a file takes to transfer, but it does matter how many...

We had to produce new hardware cards at work for this, for a big customer. They have very old DSLAMs, which have buffers of 1-2 packets. Our boxes, with huge buffers, showed a "burst" behaviour (if a buffer in a QoS class is emptied, all packets are dumped at max speed), causing them to flood...

I don't remember passwords... I remember typing patterns... I variate passwords by shifting the pattern on my keyboard... works like a charm ;)

Good design goes nowhere when you are dealing with a 10 year old codebase consisting over 19M lines (without the comments) in over 2000 files. On small projects devs can test their stuff, on huge OS's (like ours) the interactions between all the modules is just impossible for a dev to test. A...

Being a software QA Engineer, I can answer this one... Release cycles, which relates to sheer $$$ The faster the codebase goes out the door, the faster it starts making money. And in this the philosophy of the company shows. My company does a mayor release once a year, and of that 1 year...

I'll be the first one to point out the obvious, babes... TBH, there is nothing going on in IT at the moment that gets me excited... Hey look we got product X, which is the same as the previous 10 gens, only a tad higher clocks/speeds/...

I am at my PC nearly the entire day, so why not!

My personal testbed has 2 of the big ones, 2 of the medium ones, and 2 of the small ones... The big'uns have 10 IOMs (Cards that contain ports, like the 100G), and 2 CPM (cpu modules), the middle have 5IOMs and 2CPMs and the small ones have 1IOM and 1CPM BTW, AT&T and BT both have 6000+ of...

I would not exactly call it cheap... $140k for a 1*100G card and $130k for a 12*10G card... ;)

Yep, QA and system integrations engineer in the IP department ;)

At work I am testing a 100Gbps port card... So not convinced... http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/alcatel-lucent-takes-100-gbps-optical-gear-commercial/35648 And yes that is on 1 port ;) And no, we aren't Cisco, it is FULL duplex, not half duplex ;) EDIT: maybe include the official release notes...

The bits vs bytes dillemma ;)

I had a couple of VPS's in the past, but they were quickly replaced by dedicated boxes because the IO access was way too slow. Colocated servers ftw!

If it still needs +1 min to start up, it'll be gone as quickly as it is installed ;)

I saw them at Pukkelpop a month ago... Not their best set, but still far from bad ;)
