    This is not the target market.

  2. Comment - Six-core Intel processors coming this year

    5.0 r211 (Mar 18, 2008 - 1:15 AM)

    Quad-Core is truly pointless for many "Windows" applications, however Linux Desktops and Servers of all flavors benefit greatly from the added power in many areas including Rendering, Calculations, and crunching the human gnome. Just because your high-end oh so expensive box doesn't have any applications that can utilize more than one processor at a time doesn't mean that many people in specialized computing areas wont benefit from 2 to 8 cores.

  4. Comment - After FCC hearing turns into circus act, NY subpoenas Comcast records

    I was skeptical at first when I heard about the FCC having hearings on this matter, however with these recent developments it seems the FCC may indeed do some good for the customers of Comcast. I'm not a supporter of regulatory control in many areas of the economy, but I do believe that ISP's are getting to ambitious with their networks. The only reason the internet exists as it does today is because networks are open and free regardless of the protocol used. If Comcast or any other provider inhibits even one packet in any way it threatens the very core of what the internet stands for.

    The only real resolution to this problem is for ISP's to be granted the ability to manage their networks with the exception of blocking, or delaying packets. I hope the FCC also explores Advacned Traffic Shaping practices that are starting to become popular as well.
