    Why doens't Apple make a ruggedized iPhone?

    Apple isn't going to ruin the lines of any product they sell for something a "silly" as ruggedness. I've had a Magpul case on every iPhone I have owned(and my wife has a pink one), and they have all held up very well.

    ESXi 4.0 and Nehalem Xeon

    I can confirm that 90% of the time a single CPU is better for performance from desktop to servers. We have 3(4 host) clusters consisting of Istanbul(Hex Core), Dunnington(Hex Core), and Nehalem(Quad Core) architectures. It has been true for every arch, and every version of VMWare we've used.

    Dirtiest IT Jobs?

    Talk to me when you've changed a hard drive while straddled over a unit on a running press. Ink, paper chaff, and "grey" wash water all over me.
