What Servers look like


Why, in some recess of my head, do I still think game servers look like this...



When I know in reality they look more like this...

Re: What Servers look like


That reminds me.

Many many years ago a local bigwig asked to see our computer room. It wasn't a particularly big one but I showed him around.

He marched up the this big interesting looking unit with lots of lights on it and said 'amazing things computers, how powerful is this one'?

I replied it's pretty powerful but actually that's the air conditioning.

LOL.

A neighbour asked me if I wanted a computer as he was thrownin it out. I says sure, thinkin I'd put it to use as a media server running Ubuntu or something.

It was a fucking shop till, I was too nice to tell the old codger.

Anyone want a shop till.

Re: What Servers look like


This tho:


Back in the day I worked in for small startup in the Purdue research park. The professor who's idea started the company would do tours, and as the IT guy, I just spent my time in the server room, where we had one rack filled with a few switches and maybe a couple 1U servers. Well the professor would ALWAYS open the door to the server room and show off the pretty blinking lights of the switches which actually never failed to amaze the onlookers. He usually gave some description of what those blinking lights meant, which was invariably wrong, but hilarious. No one ever called him out on it, so it seems that the people on his tour were technical in ways other than computers and networking.

You do all realise we have had it wrong all along. PS2 is not launching to ps4 as a title but we are going to have a ps4 as the new servers for the game
