YouTube Architecture

2008-01-14 Thread Ted Roche
YouTube grew incredibly fast, to over 100 million video views per day, with only a handful of people responsible for scaling the site. How did they manage to deliver all that video to all those users? And how have they evolved since being acquired by Google?

ThinkPad Pointers

HELP I use ThinkPads for a number of reasons, mostly because I prefer the nipple stylle pointer to the touchpad style. My new ThinkPad (R61) has both. I am *not* a good typist; my wrists stay down all the time. This leads to alot of straying pointer issuse when my wrists or thumbpads hit

Ubuntu at least has user settings that iirc could do that too. when i ipdate my T423 from Gentoo to Ub untu, I'll check. I know putting an outboard USB trackball disables both onboard pointers. On 1/14/08, Kenny Lussier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You have to do it in the BIOS, I believe. -KL

10mb managed hub anyone?

Can I interest anyone in a 10mbps rackmount managed hub? It's going to the recyclers if I don't find it a home, though I can't imagine it belongs anywhere but in a museum. It's a SynOptics LattisHub 2813 and was probably very expensive when they were discovering the difference between
