On theregister there was recently a post that maybe HP will announce the new EVA's in Vegas in June - the P6000. I just opened a discussion on the ITRC forum, maybe we'll see some more posts there. I myself am hoping for some thin provisioning or why not SAS backends …

Morning. Got in last night at around 2140 local time. I should've done a little more exact research for how to find my hotel. Had to walk some 30 minutes (parts of it the wrong way) to get to it. But at least I made it to see some ice …

Ever experienced this relatively frustrating phenomena? My setup: Windows 7 x64 with an ATI Card HD5700 series. A logitech wireless keyboard+mouse. Camera just keeps on spinning and if you move the mouse it changes pitch, speed or whatever. Things to try: Got a joypad/joystick in the vicinity? Plug …

Giving this one a shot :) I will be compiling it myself as well. Squid for those who do not know is a proxy server. Proxys can be used for many things, but one great thing if you have a thinner connection to the Internet, you can use this to speed …
