Comment of the day: Odyssey
UPDATE: Odyssey is a long and difficult business ... Only courageous and decisive heroes can do this - to match the Odyssey! Nevertheless, there were some among us, we present them to your attention!

Thank you all for participating!
Squabblers, attention!
Despite the weather disasters, and the weather is absolutely unbearable in the city, we still decided to hold our post-New Year January contest “Commentary of the Day”. This time the theme of the competition will be the Odyssey. As a desire for the best, as a courageous journey to unprecedented lands in search of the unknown. Like a jump headlong into an ice hole (well-maintained, and after a bath), as well as the habitual desire for most of us to make work work that cannot work by definition, where everyone considers this impossible.
In one of our previous postswe talked about the HP Odyssey project, designed to erase the boundaries between conventional servers and business critical systems, used, as a rule, by large (and largest) companies, and therefore - largely unknown. It may seem to some that the bridge spanning the Odyssey project between these two areas of server technology development leads to the transition of business-critical computing to ordinary hardware. In fact, this is not entirely true, or rather, not at all.
The essence of the Odyssey project is that widespread processors and software tools will soon be added to the business-critical infrastructure built up over the years, built on a huge number of advanced engineering solutions. The legacy of engineers who built Olympus for highly specialized server systems for decades and developers who wrote billions of lines of code for it does not go anywhere. But now, with the launch of the Odyssey project, the same servers will be able to serve both business-critical applications and be used to solve typical tasks related to the functioning of a modern enterprise. This will give users and administrators of such systems unprecedented flexibility; they will be able to work with long-studied applications and operating systems, without purchasing separate equipment for them.
That is why in our competition today, we would like to focus on how you (and we) manage to combine and organize the effective operation of systems that previously belonged to two different worlds. Maybe you managed to run Linux on the Gameboy DS, get the microwave to control the air temperature in the server room, or install Windows Server 2008 on the iPhone 4S? Yes, and so that then the devices bloomed with new colors and began to further please their owners. Tell us, and we will gladly reward the authors of the highest rated comments with our special New Year prizes - models for assembling ships, so that they help you in discovering a new one .
1st place 2nd place 3rd place
The competition will run until January 31.
