Google Maps reborn as world's largest Monopoly board

Soooo...

If I buy all the roads connecting a rather well known military complex housing - um - strategic deterrents, do I get to use said assets to decrease the value of other players property?

How much is the rent on a LGM30 site?

HDS primes BluArc Mercury launch

AMS a poor midrange box?

Last time I checked, the AMS (2x00) were capable of thin provisioning, dynamic migration, *proper* active/active load balancing, large cache, iSCSI capability and came with a very decent SPC perfomance at an attractive price.

Concerning the USP: You get what you pay for. Its an enterprise class array. Neither the DMX4 nor the DS8k come cheaper.

Explorers unearth cat-sized rat

You really need a FN FAL for vermin control.

My apologies to our transatlantic friends for making fun of them.

Texan confronts the legendary chupacabras

So we have:

One fat cop with a weird haircut.

Another cop who insits on wearing a hat inside a building.

one hairless dog.

GTA maker coughs up $20m for 'hot coffee' sex

All hail the US...

land of the free, and the brave, and ecetera. Where you can get a semiauto rifle at 16, a beer at 21 and never see a naked woman.

Oh, look, boobies *BRZZZZT[carrier lost

Oracle to talk Sun hardware on October 14

So 320 cores are faster than 64?

So SUN^H^H^HORACLE says 320 cores at 1,6GHz are faster than 64 at 5GHz?

Now who would have expected that?

And speaking of expectations:

I expect it will be only seconds before IBM pulls the magic "TCO" card, with 320 cores to license and ten boxes to put into maintenance, you´re in for several years of butt-pain. Even compared to the expensive (but good) IBM GS.

Prince of Darkness scares UK mobe firms

Ozzy?

Wasn´t Ozzy not just some mere "Prince of Darkness" but rather "THE f... Prince of f...ing darkness"?

Just wondering. (and while wondering: would I have been allowed to post "f...ing" in all its glory or are we considerate of our transatlantic friends?

NetApp peeking at object interfaces

Yup, more complexity is exactly what ONTAP needed.

NOT.

Tesla Model S poses for cameras

Very nice, and now a useful one please.

Though I understand the low drag design of a sportscar benefity electric cars, I still need a station wagon. Ideally with a hitch.

And triple ISOFIX. ;)

500km range is already fine with me, should geve ~350 on a quick charge. Would make me move my lazy ass (as recommended) if the refilling takes 20 minutes, so I can live with that one.

But were getting close.

Paris, because of ... cloase (Oh my, this was a cheap one...)

Samsung gets 'stupid fast' in gaming grab

And its still outrun by a couple of smaller drives

Why anyone would buy a single, expensive SSD instead of two (or four) smaller ones in a raid0 setup behind a *proper* Controller - something like the HP smartarray p410 with half a GB of write cache AND a PCIe 8x connection to actually transfer the data - is still beyond me. Maybe its the 500Eur pricetag on the controller, but you´ll have to shell out that money only once. And migrating to another board suddenly is a charm, too.

Just a thought, maybe I am completely wrong...
