OT: Technology and Geek Stuff Thread

Yes, I'm sure that's the case.

As you spend time with it I would love to hear more about it. I am not one to update operating systems on the same PC generally (I run the same operating system 'till I get a new PC), but what I have read thus far sounds very promising...

All of this is temporary.

GOOGLE is (allegedly) going to unleash their Cloud computing model sometime in 2009.

In may end up being 2010 but it is a developing tech soon to be shown to the masses.

The main part of it anyway.

Some of it is already operational through Google programs.

Windows is going nowhere anytime soon.

I have it as a VM as well, but unfortunately it's technically not VMWare foundation compatible yet and there's a known issue with trying to join a Windows 7 beta machine to a domain, and even though I can get it working with it built like Vista x86 box, the domain hotfix crashes the VM..

[froot loops]

Does that Windows 7 version have a ZFS file system equivalent?

[Panoptes]

Windows is going nowhere anytime soon.

You are absolutely correct. In regards to the slow to adapt to new tech.

I will be checking it out upon release.

[froot loops]

There is a good reason for some to be slow to adapt to new tech, it is notoriously buggy. Plus it is hard to support a new platform in the business environment.

And not everyone is a Hep Cat like Gonz...

[froot loops]

indeed

[Coop]

I have not heard...didn't look different during the install..although I thought the next gen format was WIN-FS

[froot loops]

I heard that Windows was doing a ZFS equivalent. That would be cool.

That's just the way he rollz.

[Topweasel]

Yep. Its a shame really. Only since late 2008 have there been stand alone bluray players worth owning IMO.



According to professional reviews, PS3 DVD performance is ok, but not in the same league as Oppo or even some of the old HD-DVD players. Still, as a total package the PS3 is tough to beat.

Ah the days of HD-AX1 and HD-AX2. I still have my HD-A1 and A2. The only thing I use my PS3 for is Blu-Rays. Man I wish the war was still brewing.

[LightninBoy]

Don't get me started Topweasel. I'm trying to move on ...

[unknown lions fan]

While I wasn't following too closely, I was a little more in the HD camp. Sony's leadership in bluray made me suspicious, they're always hostile to open standards - witness their dumbass "memory sticks" while the rest of the industry has put forth Compact Flash, SD, and now micro SD.
