SUN HAS RELEASED six new Nehalem-based servers which use flash drives to give a faster app response

According to the press release, the flash memory is added between the hard-disk drive and the main memory. Flash memory ranging from 25GB to 50GB is said to allow the system to bypass I/O bottlnecks for rapid processing and faster boot-up.

The servers come with a door that can cool server racks rated up to 35kw using either water or chilled gas.

The Sun Fire x2270, x4170, X4270 and X4275, range from $1,488 to $3,645.

No word on the prices of the other two yet. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
