Zero Clients with VMware Backend
ahuxham replied to atfnet's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
Oracle have pledged in writing to continue development of the Sun Ray and Sun Global desktop systems, so the doom mongering really isn't needed. There are no plans to discontinue the solution, the only foreseeable change is moving from xVM to Grid Iron, or amalgamating the two together as a Hyper-visor. As well as proprietary systems running their 10g 11g database on the Java platform, which Solaris can do quite well at present -
Just picked up a case-less copy off eBay for £11 and free delivery, arrived a few moments ago and the disc is pristine, no scratches and scuffs, I would assume its going to run smoothly later. Just goes to show eBay has its uses, and can be trusted. Saying that, I might have it for sale for £11 after tonight, never really like football games, so going to give it a go and see how I get on, can't promise that I'm going to like it at all.

Zero Clients with VMware Backend
ahuxham replied to atfnet's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
Sun VDI isn't tiered at a specific market rather than education, Yes there are performance issues with Flash and Audio, but the Wyse systems still suffer this problem. Sun have the SunMMR and assosciated plugins for installing on the virtual machine to improve performance. I can honestly say we see no real slow-downs with Flash/Audio/Usb Redirection at all. -
Zero Clients with VMware Backend
ahuxham replied to atfnet's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
Successfully running a Sun VDI environment here with a VMWare Backend, working a treat. Running our Sun Rays over a WAN from our other site on a very poor ADSL line, but no hickups and everything running very smooth. Very cost effective solution as well, Sun Ray 2 terminals are circa £160 as well, much cheaper than the Wyse equivalents. Ours was supplied via IT Solutions & Optimisation, Virtualisation, Data Management Solutions, IT Consultancy Services -
Could anything be an Eve copy? Such a massive and unique sandbox, it'd be hard to copy the elements of the game without it being noticed and slammed, it however is a direct copy/clone of POTBS, just different genre and a few new things added here and there.
-
Not playing, read the reviews, watched the videos, and its just a mask over POTBS (Pirates of the Burning Sea) Same style of game, same classes, just different rules. Actually its almost so alike to POTBS I can't bring myself to play it at all.

Why that far down? Something a bit centrally located between Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Cornwall, Devon would be easier? Exeter for one is quite central, bar far right Wiltshire, Bristol as well, quite easy to get trains anywhere in the South West to Bristol, and the likes.

I read an article about this recently, and the new business model the majority of companies are moving to are higher costs for digital downloads. Why: Companies assume people want what they want now, and don't want to wait, so they charge that little bit extra for the privilege. I am impatient and would quite easily pay that extra cost for digital download, and not having to wait for it to arrive.

I'm changing my view, if I wasn't working in IT, I'd want to be retired at a very young age, say 25? On par with the topic, I'd love my own high street shop. Internet Cafe / Gaming Lounge / Coffee Bar / Reading Room with plenty of ambience. If I won a decent amount of money this would defiantly come to plan

Wonder if CP can answer a question regarding the Ruckus AP's What are their operating temperatures? Are the comfortable at exposed and constant 2-3c, and are they comfortable at a constant -14 to -17c? Indoors naturally, just in chilled and freezer environments.

What have you won for being right?
-
Ahh, the only thing it could be, even more presents to play with.
-
I can't see how anyone could leave goodies boxed up. I'd have them opened and all over the place. Perhaps I'm still a child thinking every parcel is a Christmas present.

Pretty sure there are no legal issues as the information is publicly held, if the server is in the UK or the person is in the UK you are covered under the freedom of information act to attain this information. Not entirely sure on berating or making contact with the person. You can exclude your domain registration information if you are an individual to stop sites grabbing this information.

Indeed. Eve is a very unique game in the fact you can set a skill to train and leave it, even when off line and not playing, however as such everything is timed and skills are ranked in tiers so some take 35 days to go from IV to V for example. You can spend around 1-2 years perfecting and mastering the basic skills which all help in the end. A little bit of advice for a new player. Train your Tier I Learning skills to 5 and your Tier III skills to 4 as soon as possbile, the higher your learning skills the faster you train skills. I don't pay to play anymore, I have my Marauder, Marauder's 5, Golem, Faction fit. Spend around 3-8 hours a month doing missions, pay for ingame timecards and be done with it. It does take time to get where you want to go, but determination is key.

Done it all, now on a semi-permanent break. Still train one of my alts up, 81m SP and counting. Maxed Missiles and Support skills and the rest. As MossJ stated, left EVE £1500 richer after selling various accounts off. Don't regret selling them at all Just keeping my current char ingame should I ever wish to rejoin. How long you been playing LocalZ?
-
Very true.

And I knew there was a working example of the technology. @ Harrods: High-definition TV in three dimensions – and no glasses - Times Online LG True 3-D TV So yes, there are true 3D TV's with no use of glasses, but obviously prototypes/display models at present.
-
I think the technology overly relies on LED/LCD combinations project on two screens rather than one. I did see a showcase on either LG or Sony's website showing the principal behind the technology. This link for example: Sony Bravia 3DTV - First Look review - Pocket-lint The Sony one does this for example: "Back to Sony's 3DTV and the technology works by delivering two 1080p (Full HD) pictures simultaneously on the screen. To the naked eye it's a jumbled mess of imagery that you even after a couple of beers you would find hard to decode" Eeek, thats a glasses one, but the same glasses as Avatar
-
cough - yes. Not seen it working, perhaps google can help you on that one.
-
There are so many different formats of 3D it's hard to tell to be honest. You've got; Spectral separation Pulfrich Lenticular or barrier screens Interference filter technology Eclipse method Polarization systems Anaglyph Majority use different classes, colours and types. Avatar falls under Polarization systems I believe. Stereoscopy or (Real3D). Anaglyph is the old red/green glasses, some are red/blue glasses, some are real effects without glasses. Most new 3D TV's are to be introduced without the need for glasses.

Hi Sareal, Welcome to Edugeek, enjoy the stay!

Likewise, the amount of threads I read verse the amount I comment in. Generally the answers or my shared opinion are already expressed in the post, alas I don't contribute to the confusion. What does bug me though, is when a user asks a question, and you get 50 replies with other users saying what they've got. I.e. I have server 2003 and want to use x service to-do y, and you get a million posts saying I have server 2003 and use x all the time, they also use z to-do y. How is that relevant to what the question original was. Just the way things roll.

Thread really not needed. We've had enough shouting and arguing between everyone, emotions are running high. Edugeek is going to always be Edugeek, the mix of technical and everything else. Just because nothing technical is being shown isn't indicative that the website isn't being technical. Perhaps we're all super techs and have no problems to report back!

Not enough Memory Banks for a start! Virtualization platform?
