Latency would worry me with this. The browser VMs aren't real time systems.

In a similar situation. In fact stupider. We have a 120Gb baseline of data inside a relational store. The vendor has a file stream option that allows blobs to be stored on disk instead of the transaction log and be pushed through the DB server rather than using our current CIFS DFS cluster. So lets stick our 950Gb static document load in there too (while i was on holiday typically) and off we go.

Do thing starts going like shit as expected now it has to stream all that through the DB bottleneck.

So what's the solution? Well we're in big data territory now apparently at 1.2TiB (comedically small data and almost entirely static data set) and have every vendor licking arse with the CEO and CTO to sell us Hadoop, more DB features and SAN kit.

We don't even need it for processing. Just a big CRUD system. Total Muppets.

Only problem with the nSpire is its a usability disaster. Great for education but as a productive device its horrible. I tried using one (nSpire CAS) for a bit but I felt like I had to do battle with it, not use it.

Slightly embarrassed at two years of lurking on HN and the first post being critical of HP...

I've had two HP35s units and they are buggy as hell. Ended up with an old TI86 after trying every calculator in existence.
