Dvorak Admits To Trolling Mac Users 354

jalefkowit writes "Tech pundit John Dvorak has long been known for his inflammatory opinions. Many have suspected that these opinions are just a way to drive up traffic to his column. Now, we have it straight from the horse's mouth: Dave Winer has Dvorak on video describing his methodology for trolling the Mac community to pump up his stats." I have to admit I'm also guilty of posting the occasional inflammatory story, but I find it's usually best to suffix the title with a question mark, and let our ever-knowledgeable readers hash out the issue and decide for themselves.

I don't think _most_ server farms really require all that much CPU (much less floating point.. that's why Sun actually has a market with their T1000 and T2000 chips, but I digress). IO is usually the bigger bottleneck, be it memory, disk, or network.

Me, I'll take a 2 CPU/core server with 32 GB of memory over a "4x4" CPU server with say only 4 GB of memory any day.
