[Sysman]

on the subject of printer ink,

a friend who works for one of the big research firms said that hp et al a re getting a bit worried cos the facebook generation don't print anything they read everything electronically !

Milan.

Even Google seems to be getting twitchy about Facebook at the moment. Who'd have thunk that just a couple of years ago?

Do you think it's a good time to buy SAP shares, given they are at an all time high at the moment?

Hi Sysman,

hope you are doing fine and life is treating you well


Doco from .net says that this stuff for bi will be here this year and there are already training courses running on it - so it's going to be generally available for productive use this year


didn't know that about hp

funny eh, a few years ago that silly cow what's her name carly florian said that their reduction in profit was because of .net and now they want to buy them

It has the ability to scan 2 million records per millisecond per core and over 10 million complex aggregations calculated on the fly per second per core.

Interesting. But it is only version 1.0 at the moment. I anticipate it will be a while before it's ready for proper production use.

Mind you, if the recent suggestion I saw in the media comes true (HP ought to buy SAP), it could just get lost in a sea of printer ink.
