might live in a fiber area ?? have a commercial package?

all ifs and buts!!
I got the impression that 'Fibrecity' went bust after digging up half the town. Even so there would probably be some kind of reasonable use policy.
Presumably you'd need a special line and equipment for a commercial package, and they might be reluctant to install that in someone's house.
 
not sure mate...! im half tempted to cut the fiber where i work just for a laugh but it would end in tears i think!
 
my stupid mate installed a server in his back bedroom of his parents house!! dont ask me why!!! but i spoke to him couple months ago and he has to keep a window open and even has portable aircon unit in there as temps exceed 30+ within minutes!!

I bet he will be dead popular when the bill arrives
 
Hi, Have you got a link handy for a technical spec for these servers, or some similar? I'm struggling to imagine how a peice of IT equiment like that could possible require 9KW per rack..? thanks!

Thats about the same size as the first one I worked on Biff. A 286 would have had more power! The hard (Winchgester) drives were wheeled around on what looked like hospital trollies. If we had to have the program altered it would arrive on punch tape.

I've got a photo somewhere of a very young looking me wearing a lab coat, INSIDE such an animal, with a multimeter doing fault finding!!

Took the kids to the Kennedy space centre a little while back on hols, and they have got a 'real' mockup of the original Apollo control room with all the actual kit in it. They make no apologies that there is now more computing power in a wrist watch than was in that room. So I asked the kids what the moral of that story is..... and after some headscratching time told them: You don't need gadgets and technology to achieve things, you need hard graft, ingenuity and determination together with knowing your times tables. They got it, kind of.
