So it's finally happening? I remember hearing they were going to be changing the license to allow for this sort of thing. All I can say is, that's a lot of licensing money you've been prohibiting.

@mlnews Sometimes you just have to wonder about marketing guys "New secure services with Java". Javascript maybe, but Java? That on top of the whole encryption thing, really people.

I'm sure they're amazing, just wish I had a need for one!

Actually Mainframes run insane amounts of traditional Java. Because Java is what replaced COBOL in financial applications and because mainframes are focused primarily on financial workloads, it's a very big deal there.

Ah. That'd explain it then. I'll grant that I'd rather deal with JAVA than COBOL!

Wonder if I can install something else on my mini? Or if it's even worth trying...

I bet a normal Linux will work fine.

Idk do you can get in the boot loader or not. It would have to be "rooted"

@mlnews said in Talos II the Most Insane Workstation of All Time:

It doesn't get much more crazy that this thing. With more computing horsepower than a rack full of normal servers, the fully open source (hardware AND software) Talos II workstation sports two IBM Power 9 RISC CPUs.

Can I haz 1?

If you make hardware, you test and sign the driver. Here is the doc:

How about a virtually assembled congress? This is already being considered today in many states so that the congress-people can get back into touch with their constituents. It also increases safety for the government as all of your eggs are not in one basket, in Congress.

LOL - that will be the day.

We have some and always turn off the 3D. It's annoying and silly. It's neat that they can do it, but the novelty lasts like two minutes then it is just awful. It kills the battery, too. These gimmicks never seem to do anything to improve games, they just take the focus away from making something interesting. 3D is good, but this weird two inch handheld 3D was just bizarre.
