PetaBox: Big Storage in Small Boxes
An anonymous reader writes "LinuxDevices.com is reporting that a Linux-based system comprising more than a petabyte of storage as been delivered to the Internet Archive, the non-profit organization that creates periodic snapshots of the Internet. The PetaBox products, made by Capricorn Technologies, are based on Via mini-ITX motherboards running Debian or Fedora Linux. The IA's PetaBox installation consists of about 16 racks housing 600 systems with 2,500 spinning drives, for a total capacity of roughly 1.5 petabytes, according to the article. Now to strap one of those puppies to my iPod!" The Internet Archive continues to astound.
In soviet russia, internet downloads YOU!
...a beowolf cluster of these.
Sorry, it had to be done.
This is not the sig you are looking for...
The really funny part is that my post got modded redundant.
What is funny about that? It is redundant. It had already been said. The idea behind moderation is not to reward witty types for their wittines, it is about filter out noise for the reader. If a joke is told two times one of them really is redundant. It would be noise.
Oh, this comment is also redudant. One can probably read all about this here in the Slashdot FAQ
If you don't agree with the redundant modifier you could always set redundant to be +/-0 points in stead of -1.
How about: In soviet russia, the internet downloads you.
