I know you're right and it does make sense - I also try to follow this line as well. It just feels that trust is worth so little between managers and employees when we are forced to either punch a clock or waste working time on performance reporting.
Hardware RAID is dead - software for redundant storage is just getting started. I am looking forward to making use of btrfs so I can have some consistency and confidence to how I deal with any ultimately disposable storage component.
The ZFS folks have been doing it fine for some time now.
Hardware RAID controllers have no place in modern storage arrays - except those forced to run Windows
Its not just the GMA500 and the other newer Intel chipsets like the 4500, the 3d driver support for the 945 has gone unless you want to run Intrepid, which I don't - I had considered it, but I am really getting used to KDE4 now on my desktop and I think Nokia are seeing this path as the future for mobile devices that, in a few years, will be fully fledged PCs.
If I want to have 3d support on a an MID or UMPC right now, my only real option is an ION based machine, with this, I could run KDE4 on an SSD based machine - possibly a little slow, but with at least 1Gb it would be very usable and run everything I need in a PC.
I like this OMAP idea, but I think the drivers for Ubuntu are still lagging - I am not getting any MID until I can run KDE4.
What's funny from my point of view, is that when I felt I understood what general relativity is about and how affects every question I ask of the universe, I had no idea people would even think to try and detect them.
Sure, observe their effects, but detect somehow implies that the detector can sit outside of spacetime - it seems that many have completely misunderstood that observing an effect like gravity which is known to change the observed path of anything with even the faintest hint of mass, including light itself - with a time dilation to match its observed frequency variation - the thing itself perceives no change in its own clock and the thing is still tied to its observer. The bending of spacetime is not something that can be avoided or even transform mass and energy - observing changes in energy are observations that require space and time to achieve and the remote energies existence maybe observed differently in different relative locations and the effect of a pulsar may not be a loss of energy, but an observed loss due to time dilations in amongst the environment of the pulsar.
I realise my post sounds a little convoluted and perhaps a little arrogant, I just wonder if most scientists see how easy it is to misunderstood the implications of general relativity.
A lot of people here claiming the maintenance costs would justify the price from commercial storage vendors, however, they are mostly still using ancient tech to manage their storage and they don't realise that by adding managed redundancy, using consumer grade components combined with an open source OS and some management scripts makes a lot of sense - a single hard drive is dispensable.
If he was faced with certain pain in excess until death, then fear of pain has absolutely nothing to do with it. Its not that he is afraid of pain, its just that most people don't like pain. Most sane people will do what it takes to make the pain stop, since it is preferable not to go through it. The more rational ones that know there is no way for it to stop can possibly see death in a different way to yourself.
Fear suffering, not death - you can possibly avoid suffering.
if he had decided instead that it was not up to him to decide when it would end.
Your illusion of control is making you think its not his decision. He clearly made the decision without paying any attention to your will - whether you approve or not, saying it is not his decision is just simply not for you to say.
Its akin to scientology in a way, I think only in that it is a form of Qi gong, as such, many of its principles are about the energy of the body and proclaim things as science, when in fact they are spiritually based, not scientifically based.
This is true of all qi gong forms in China - most of them well respected like a science, but without rigor for truth.
Many qi gong principles are common sense and others are almost like faith healing. None are to be tested, but many have a good standing in universities.
A bit like a Western Universities Philosophy department, its who you quote, not your rationality, that counts.
Like many who know the paradox of being tested by a system which is itself designed by people who may have a lower IQ than you, plus the fact that anything unique about you is completely useless on any systematic test, by definition.
"They view the world the way it is, without the rose tinted spectacles of the non-depressed.
Does wearing shit tinted glasses make one more of a realist ? or is it possible that the analysts who draw conclusions about depression are often unaware that seeing the world as a depressive cause is a self-fulfilling prophecy and not objective at all.
What's really sad is that there are a bunch of people out there who are actually both depressed and stupid - many of them hoping for the the self-absorbed ego boost of appearing to be a very bright misunderstood person.
I think the intelligent ones are the realists who can take the bull of survival by the horns.
I'm not sure where I fit in in this picture, I'm sure to some I sound like a stuck up git - however, I realise that transcending being misunderstood by others is a great way to be happy, regardless of ones intelligence - such a subjective term, its vastly overrated.

I'll always be in 2 minds on this one.

hmmm... yes. about nine thirty. [crunch]
What is it with Intel graphics support ?

Nationalism is as much of a correlation as racism, since the cause of all of this is paranoia.
I usually in the dark. Doesn't everybody ?
You don't necessarily have to only have A and B for it to be ironic, sometimes its more fun if you only have A or B.
Like, if A were a bunch of Americans each claiming their own definition of irony, that would be ironic.
That way, you'd have to use your own definition of irony to guess what B was.
I love logic.
In summer, ignoring the smell of rotting gorilla corpses, there is not a pinch of dust around here anymore.
Unreal!
They are using software RAID, they can manage data on different sized disks without much of a hit.
I must admit, their design using Silicon Image cards is exactly what I would have done with an array that large.
I use the same hardware on a smaller scale.

That cat is a genius - they still haven't found where he conceals the weapon.
Actually, I tend to think of that of any modern American Christian religion.

My score is off the scale.

Maybe its a good thing in a way, it wastes a lot of money though, are the businesses that are lobbying prepared to pay all the lawyers and then some ?
Exchange your freedom for hard cash ?
Planing well, rob a bank.
hmm.... organ grinder.
Its questions like that that could have brought down the funding for LIGO.
...but since your question didn't involve massive amounts of funding, it will be ignored.
