never tip your servers more than %10

tipping too much can be harmful to your server

Good work

not bad, 8/10

WTH?! They look like they fell through the ceiling.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I think its the floor

I remember from my stint working at PC Connection that was something they liked to check in data center remodels. Racks & battery backup has gotten heavier over the years.

Clever.

Meh, they're Sun systems. Let'em burn.

 

[blackangst1]

9/10. Nice.

 

[cronos]

Got me.

Rather than tipping our servers we should instead just give them a listing cage. Sure it costs a little bit more up front to provide a listing cage, but in the long run its better everyone that you end the practice of tipping.

It's funny because you think he's talking about servers as in waiters in a restaurant and not the physical act of actually tipping over a computer server.

I would love to know more about that picture, looks like the racks were maybe just secured to the raised floor. In CA we used seismic bolts that extended from the racks through the raised floor and all the way to the concrete floor underneath, after that the racks were not tipping.

Of course the same thing about tipping applies to satellites.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Meh. Not like they're expensive or anything...

 

[V00DOO]

I am slow today. Finally got it.

 

[Imp]

I approve...

 

[Hugo Drax]

excellent.

Want to see a picture of an old dead cat? Scroll down.






























You sure? Well ok then scroll down, but warning it aint pretty.

^^ that actually rusted out in a really cool manner.

Looks like a war40k piece

Those servers look pretty cozy. Maybe we should give them some privacy. If we're lucky, we might get some baby servers.

 

[RossMAN]

Fell for it, pun intended.

From 2007! Timeless.

The fascinating fact: All systems worked without problems. The administrator wasn´t able to find out, when this "catastrophic raised floor malfunction" occured, as there wasn´t even a reboot. At the end there was only one victim at this event: a single, unfortunate hard disk. Sun Server - build to last!

Ouch! I think it needs more struts.

i think that's how cloud computing works
