    If I find a bug in this, I can hack any computer ever released in History?

    No, it means you need to use these in your parents basement.

    I wonder if that Thailand guy should had used RAID setup, and not Raid on his HDD. [grin]

    Seriously though, how hard is it to type "RAID" into Google?

    Not hard at all...

    Coachroaches. The tech, once he'd removed the side of the unit, had exposed them to the light and they were trying to find a new place to hide. There must have been a hundred in there. Craziest thing I ever saw.
    So, technically, isn't that a raid setup?

    You are thinking the wrong RAID Try This one.

    Apparently Intel had a termite problem in their offices, and the EU had to step in before the problem spread to other companies in the area.

  10. Well, it depends... by MC+Negro · · Score: 1 · on Which RAID for a Personal Fileserver?

    What RAID should you use? Well it just depends. Frankly, if the little fuckers are getting into your personal fileserver, and just generally screwing things up, then you might want to go with your plain-old RAID I. However, if they're using your motherboard as the local hotspot for insect orgies, then you might need RAID II. And let us not forget RAID III if long-term maintenance is an issue.

  13. Satellite Internet by thedillybar · · Score: 4, Funny · on Worst Explanation From Tech Support?
    Not sure if I can blame the tech support guy for this one, but it was funny.

    A friend of mine had satellite internet working for months, and one day it started cutting out on him. The signal strength would show EXCELLENT->BAD->ZERO->EXCELLENT. It'd keep repeating in this cycle so fast, it couldn't even initialize the connection. So it was basically worthless.

    After installing all their updates, rebooting 10 times, rebooting the satellite modem 10 times, etc. the tech support guy told me 1) I must not've done what he'd been saying and 2) I have to uninstall everything and start over. If you don't have the CDs we'll have to mail them to you.

    Enough of that crap, there was no way I was messing with that software anymore. I already fought with that thing for hours. Time to climb up on the hot roof and look at the dish.

    The problem: About 500 bees nesting in the thing. Apparently it was cool...that or they were just getting high on the radiation, I'm not sure which.
    The solution: 3 large cans of Raid.

    I called the tech support guy back and he didn't believe me...

  14. For those of you who are scratching your heads ... by NOT-2-QUICK · · Score: 2, Informative · on Manually-Confirgured Software RAID Under NT?

    Wondering what the hell all of this RAID stuff is about, don't worry...your plants are safe!!! To calm you further, I thought I would be generous and give you a brief description of the various levels.

    But first, in case you road the "short bus" to school, we are not discussing the bug spray or what the Feds do to your dope stash... RAID is a commonly used acronym for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks!!!

    Now, on to the various levels of RAID... The most common are as follows:

    o RAID 0 : Striping without redundancy (a.k.a. no fault tolerance)
    o RAID 1 : Transparent Mirroring
    o RAID 3 : Striping with Parity for High Data Transfers
    o RAID 4 : Striping with Parity for High Data Transfers
    o RAID 5 : Striping with parity for High I/O transaction rates
