Submission + - F5 Fires Back (f5.com)

Random Feature writes: In response to Build an Open Source SSL Accelerator, in which o3 magazine detailed how to build a solution comparable to an F5 BIG-IP 6900 on the cheap, F5 Fires Back claiming it's not as cheap as it appears and pointing out the potential performance implications of a "cobbled together set of components designed to mimic similar functionality." The discussion on the performance of the Open Source solution based on Opteron RSA operation processing capabilities brings into question the validity of the "more SSL TPS for cheaper" argument presented by o3.

Submission + - Who owns application delivery meta-data in the clo (f5.com)

Random Feature writes: The Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum (CCIF) is currently discussing cloud portability specifications. It seems crazy to define a standard before we even know who owns what in the cloud because you can only port what you own. For example, if you created a security or acceleration policy for your cloud computing-based app, is the policy yours or the provider's? Who owns meta-data in the cloud?? True portability between clouds seems impossible depending on the answer.

Comment Re:I get fingerprinted just for being here (Score 1) 675

You citizens have it so easy .. you are just born here. I have had to prove that I deserve to be here (and so far they think I can stay)

You people who just procreate willy-nilly have it so easy, you just have sex. I had to prove that I deserve to be a parent by being fingerprinted and background checked and financially investigated.

These were all conditions of the adoption process. A background check was a condition of my employment because it's a public company and I have access to financially pertinent information. It was a condition of my employment in the past to pass a drug test.

All these things were conditions of X, and all were choices. No one forced me, I made the decision to accept the condition in order to obtain X.

That's kind of what the whole "freedom" thing is about, isn't it? You don't *have* to submit to anything, you can walk away.
