Better: Windows VM on Virtual Box on Linux for zSeries on z/VM.

Great news on High Performance Computing. Despite any licencing violations, is it possible to install a Windows VM on Virtual Box on Linux for z/OS? :-)

This is the stupid thing i've ever heard from HP.

These test are not a surprise to me and i don't complaint about having an AV active. What i complaint is the windows boot time which i think it's really affected by AV load and first scan to critical files and memory, which is usually active on standard configurations on most computers. This is...

And then also this problem: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/10/hp_bribe_sec/ "Now SEC piles into HP bribery probe" "HP is facing a widened bribery investigation by the Department of Justice and US financial regulators, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reveals."...

It's not Dull... It's Hurd! :-) Wrong person reference!

beachbodThats the million dollar question. I think they hired him mainly for his knowledge of HP. Had he had an amnesia I dont think they would have hired him. I think most people aren't seeing it in the proper order... 1) Actually Dull must have negotiate first with Oracle to get out of HP and...

bison88IBM Power CPU lineups are hardly interesting since their main client (Apple) dropped them 5 years ago. They do tend to find themselves in IBM's superscomputers which are always fun to watch in the race to an Exaflop. Another person completly out of the enterprise market! AFAIU there are...

hellwigI really don't see how this is possible. Aren't the architectures completely different? Wouldn't you have to convince new customers to recompile their entire codebase (or, at the very least, obtain pre-compiled copies from the vendor under some sort of maintenance contract)? Seems to...

The article title "5 Laptops that Destroy the New MacBook Pros" ... Destroy? why do i get the impression that it will not happen because in reality it's not the same market? How can you compare the fantastic Alienware to the Macbook Pro? They are not made for the same kind of users.

Honestly, this seems no inovation at all from HP. Changing the CPU's and the graphic cards and showing Dreamworks uses HP PC's with Photoshop to create animation movies characters do not impress me at all. It's pretty banal. Other companies show much more than this. :-(

Great news! :-) Is this joke idea a THG dream?

buwishQuite impressive. I can't even imagine the kind of processing power that beast will have once it is completed. Funny how it will be based at the U of I, as I recall the "super computer" in 2001 A Space Odyssey was "built" there. No idea why I pointed that out, but hey, it's a good movie...
