Server Grids

The trend of hosting multiple sites on one server has gone, and right now it is in fashion to host one site on several servers. Well, sites that have traffic or a lot of content ofcourse. Take for example an image gallery that has got a lot of images, which is updated automatically from several websites onthe web. Did you knwo that hosting images or content on your site giving proper credits to the copyright owners of the images or by linking to them is never illegal?

So, if you get an idea to start a site like that, you can never do with just 1 server. You will become someone like flikr, attract images from everywhere, and put them on automated image galleries, and this way traffic will automatically come over to your website, and with that traffic you could make a lot of money selling ads and stuff.

This is why today you might see people ordering 10s and 100s of servers all at one go with the datacenters at good discounted rates, and network them internally to make them into a grid, or make them into one single server with loads of processor resources memory and disk drive space. Some people say that if you make a grid out of 2 P4 processor computers, you will get the power of 2^n = 2^2 = 4 computers. That way if you make a grid out of 128 computers, then the power that you would be able to derive would be of 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 computers. Maybe thats how Wikipedia is so powerful and fast though it is the 2nd website after google that receives the most number of visitors. But is this calculation correct? Thats a very large number, and if someone wants computing power why dont they just rely on this and why do people go for mainframes and stuff?

A Broken Pickle Bottle

A pickle bottle, quite a famous company, certified by the FPO, came with a broken bottle when we had bought one. A small piece of glass was broken from the opening area, and was floating in the pickles itself. No seal no cover no nothing.

What would have happened if you had eaten it? And how do you take this to court? Would it be a tough job for the defense lawyers to say that we are trying to frame the company by breaking the glass ourselves and photographed them to make some money?

Anything for my Cell

My cellphones are my lifelines. And I feel completely handicapped if I dont have one with me. I feel completely alone, strandered and lost. So, I always make sure that my phones are fully charged, I have spare batteries with me, and a backup device if I am travelling. And, I buy a lot of accessories for phones.

When you are looking around for available accessories for your phones, you will find that you have got plenty in the market, and when you look online for Cell Phone Accessories you will end up finding a lot more, and stuff that are not generally available in accessory stores.

It is not very easy to pick and buy the right kind of mobile accessory. There are a lot of cheap quality chinese and Korean stuff coming in, and they dont come with any sort of guarentee on life. Their life and your life. Yes. These things work with radio waves and micro waves, and if they dont come with a proper certification or a fake certification, that means most probably, your brains will be cooked soon.

Would someone buy me an LCD TV please?

I have been paying an Income Tax to the government for about 4 years now. And i usually buy things from super markets, so what ever I buy comes with a bill and therefore I pay sales taxes too. I get services from here and there and I pay service taxes. I use phones heavily, I consume a lot of power, and I prefer the government’s postal department to send my letters than the private services, and therefore I am an income to the government.

The government is giving away free TVs to the lower income category of people, and give away basic needs almost for free. Free houses, free food and free clothes once in a while. They dont learn, they dont work, and they dont pay taxes like I do.

So why am I having to buy my own TV when I want a bigger one? Why cant the government buy one for me? I am a tax payer after all. What do I get in return? And why should I stand and watch my money being given away to the lower income group for free? Why isn’t the government working on ways to increase their income and just giving away stuff for free? If the government gives a pop up tv to a poor man, it should give an LCD tv to a tax payer right?
