Virtual Iron From: Joe Author: Christopher Bourne TSF Eric Lippert Jeff Atwood NavigateStorage Sandra Gittlen Prokofy Neva Jim Malone NavigateStorage Ruben Sun Emilly Orr Minimal.webmaster Carmen Mike DiPetrillo Admin Alane@securosis.com /23599269

Thinking that's not all, Joe adds:
I think I need to edit that post and change the word brilliant to something more appropriate.[ update ] I said it before, a few people agreed. Now it looks like I was basically correct. From the reg: Sun s hardware is pretty much toast .

Similarly, Author: Christopher Bourne adds:

TSF also takes into account the following fact:
The second interview, B was conducted with a 27 year old female Asian (Chinese/Taiwanese American) college graduate, an avid gamer, and a former Internet/Cyber Café attendee but currently plays at home and has several friends that are regulars at Cyber Café s averaging 40-50 hours a week and 160-200 hours a month. During B s interview, she expressed that she plays WOW and DOTA only. B felt that life is gendered, that there are a lot of gendered stereotypes, that guys I play games with joke around about, such as doing the dishes and laundry is women s work. That it s a woman s job to take care of the home. That there s a lot of crimes against women. A lot of trends that show that life is gendered, for example, child custody cases tend to favor the mother over the father. Furthermore, B also thinks that gender is stereotyped, she expressed that it s more acceptable for men to be aggressive and women to be pas sive, I think that if it s the over way around, men would be seen more as feminine, and if women are more aggressive, they are seen more as bitchy. For example, if there s a female boss people can say stuff about her and would sympathize with them, but if it s a male boss it s more understandable and more hard on them. Moreover, B expressed that the virtual world is usually gendered, that guys just play games, even though names would be really girly, people just assume that you re a guy and that girls don t play video games and are just on in the internet. B also expressed that cyber-cafes are gendered, that cyber cafes cater to men because there are way more guys that go than girls because it s a guy place because one of the cyber cafes I went to only had a urinal. In relation to the virtual world being closely related to the actual world and that society is gendered, she felt that in WOW, girls are treated better for sure, people are more likely to give you stuff just b ecause you re a female character. Like in real life, guys give pretty girls things. Lastly, B believes that one s gender & identity does transcend through to the virtual world, she feels like girls usually do try to pick pretty characters and names and stuff, guys tend to make their characters more masculine. People s personalities and views usually transcend through to the virtual world. If someone s really responsible, they usually work really hard during RAIDS. If someone s really lazy, they usually don t do much on WOW and hire people to play for them. I m actually a guild leader and I witnessed a lot of stereotyping because people thought because I was female that I should be nicer and not so aggressive so I was always called bitchy that it wasn t acceptable. I feel like if I was a guy, I wouldn t get as much crap. The third interview, C was conducted with a 21 year old female Asian (Chinese) college student, an avid gamer, and a former Internet/Cyber Café attendee , but currently a home gamer averaging 56 hours a week and 224 hours a month. During C s interview, she revealed that she played Maple Story and Chrono Trigger. C felt that life is gendered, that To an extent yes, like people aren t suppose to be sexist and discriminate but it is true women get paid less than men, and are under-looked of their abilities a lot of the time. It s mostly men in power because they see women as being too emotional and not able to separate feelings from their work. That s why we don t have a woman president. Furthermore, C also thinks that gender is stereotyped, that obviously there are passive men and aggressive women too so maybe not that. But we do stereotype gender, like babies, we use the color blue for boys and pink for girls. We stereotype material things like girls drive VW bugs and guys drive trucks, but I think we're starting to break stereotypes like you see a lot of girls with really short hair like they almost look like guys, I gues s u would call them tomboys...then there s really feminine guys that the masculine type of guy would consider gay. Moreover, C expressed that cyber café s are gendered, that you don t really expect to see many girls there. It s mostly guys. C expressed that people just assume girls don t play like FPS [First-Person Shooter] and those types of games that are really violent, but some girls do. But in the actual game itself like maybe WOW or Maple, guys and girls can be whatever gender character or monster thing they want so gender isn t really an issue. Maybe only for the younger nubs (noobs) that try to use gender has an insult oh you re a dumb girl. C believes that cyber cafés are gendered, although the gender and identity of a person does not transcend to virtual worlds.

Eric Lippert imagines that:
************* (*) OK, I lied. 32 bit Windows limits the total amount of process storage on disk to 16 TB, and 64 bit Windows limits it to 256 TB. But there is no reason why a single process could not allocate multiple GB of that if there’s enough disk space.

Jeff Atwood considers that:
3. Machine failures/uptime: You are really going to have a single machine that cost you 100k? What if you really really care about failures/uptime? Hot backup? Now we are talking 200k. With the scaled out setup you don't have to worry about this as much. If one machine out of your 83 fails, it's less important. The system will still be up and running. And, it's not only failures but hardware/OS/software updates/upgrades...

Jeff Atwood is not really sure about that:
I assume you wouldn't put sql server on every machine, right? The configuration for clustering those would be kinda crazy and probably not necessary. Also, here's a thought...how about doing a little analysis and actually architecting your server setup to handle your user load...THEN start comparing different solutions. fishstick_kitty on June 24, 2009 10:15 AM

Prokofy Neva also takes into account the following fact:
My need to do this is what is at issue in 8049, of course, but one thing has been left out of this discussion, after you argue about whether there should or shouldn t be friction to keep that metaphor intact, is the question of the uniqueness of each creation. When you have to decide, each time you rez out the prim and make something, whether you will make it copyable or modifiable or transferable -- each creation then truly *is* unique because it s not copyable! Even each cube *is* a unique instance of the Ur-cube because it s on its own location and time. Once my design and work i s applied to it, it works up into a unique creation.

Jeff Atwood objects:

But Jim Malone says that's not all:

Thinking that's not all, NavigateStorage adds:

Having that in mind, Ruben Sun wonders:
We fully acknowledge the potential for this technology to be merely an addition to the marketer’s arsenal of gimmickry. And, also see that there are still many kinks to iron out with it: the process of getting AR to work with your home computer/webcam can be cumbersome, and even when you’ve got it to work properly, you’re oftentimes peeking around a sheet of paper to see the generated image. Yet, in the right context, AR executions can add an incredible layer of interest.

As a result of that, Jeff Atwood belives:
- These days, you can pack quad-core processors into most servers. A 1U server can typically now reach 8 processing cores (2 x Quad-Core). So while that 32-CPU beast may be 7U, if you just need raw processing and memory, you'll likely still come out ahead using small pizza boxes. Internal storage and expansion will be minimal, but if you're using NAS or SAN it's a non-issue, and you'll get better storage management to boot. SAN avoids burdening your network and offers much higher performance, but at a price.

Carmen does a quick recap:
I also really want to do something related to virtual reality or augmented reality with the final project. Perhaps it could be a game like Yu-Gi-Oh and you would be able to see 3-D images on top of the cards when you use a webcam or headset. Pattern recognition technology already exists and you can download the programs, so it wouldn t be hard to make a prototype.
