Followup To "When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux"
An couple of anonymous readers wrote in to let us know about a followup to last Wednesday's story of the teacher who didn't believe in free software. The Linux advocate who posted the original piece has cooled off and graciously apologized for going off half-cocked (even though the teacher had done the same), and provided a little more background which, while not excusing the teacher's ignorance, does make her actions somewhat more understandable. Ken Starks has talked with the teacher, who has received a crash education in technology over the last few days — Starks is installing Linux on her computer tomorrow. He retracts his insinuations about Microsoft money and the NEA. All in all he demonstrates what a little honest communication can do, a lesson that all of us who advocate for free software can take to heart. "The student did get his Linux disks back after the class. The lad was being disruptive, but that wasn't mentioned. Neither was the obvious fact that when she saw a gaggle of giggling 8th grade boys gathered around a laptop, the last thing she expected to see on that screen was a spinning cube. She didn't know what was on those disks he was handing out. It could have been porn, viral .exe's...any number of things for all she knew. When she heard that an adult had given him some of the disks to hand out, her spidey-senses started tingling. Coupled with the fact that she truly was ignorant of honest-to-goodness free software, and you have some fairly impressive conclusion-jumping. In a couple of ways, I am guilty of it too."
It all started when my boyfriend I were alone in my house together. It was all innocent at first, nobody was home, and we were just going to go for a swim in our pool. We were in the pool for a couple of hours, just goofing off and having fun. Then we decided to come inside. I wanted to take a shower to wash the chlorine out of my hair, he said he'd just wait and go and watch some tv. When I went into the bathroom I didn't bother to lock the door, in fact it wasn't even closed all the way. I took off my turned on the water for the shower, waited for it to warm up, took off my bikini, then stepped in. I was in the shower for a couple minutes, when I heard the door creak. I knew it was my boyfriend, I heard him take his shorts off, then he pulled back the curtain and was in the shower with me. We had been together for a while but we had never seen each other naked. So this was our first time seeing each other completely naked. He stood next to me and we started to kiss. The water was running over both of our bodies, as we began to touch and feel each other. His hand caressed my left breast as my hands were rubbing his back. He moved his hand and started fingering me, I softly moaned, and this is when I knew we were going to have sex. He started to kiss my breasts,and slowly licked my nipple, then his kisses moved down to my stomach, and further down to my pussy. He licked and sucked my clit so good, all I could do was moan and tell him how good it was. He came back up and we began to kis some more. I had my hands on his penis, slowly stroking him up and down. I moved the tip of his penis near the front of my pussy, we looked into each other's eyes and smiled. He then pushed into me. At first it was painful, but the overwhelming pleasure soon took over that pain. We were in that shower for over an hour. I will always remember that day.

"She didn't call right away. It took her about 15 minutes to finally call me. When she did she didn't say anything for the first 15 seconds. When she finally did speak, it was obvious she was crying.
"Why did you throw me to the wolves like that?""
Did anyone else "D'awwww" at this as hard as I did?
We're sorry, Karen
RAID 5 is slower than single disks when writing, and little faster when reading.
What ? You'd need a pretty malicious (and unrealistic) corner-case for even writing to be slower on RAID5 vs single disk, and read performance will be similar to RAID0.
