    i got one of those 1.5 tb drives for what i thought was non-essential server. the thing is not backed up and we were using it to complement some other servers. well it turns out now that people have started to stick things on it that have since become essential and i am now starting to get pretty worried about it. time to buy a decent array i guess :|

    what is happening with seagate? did they downsize their qa staff or something?

    part of my job is buying machines for developers on my team, and the standard dev machine that i have been getting is a quad core with 8 gb of ram. try as i might to dissuade them, some people still insist on whacking the box and putting a 32 bit os on these machines.

    dunno if it's there since the site's slashdotted, but you'd think that would deserve a mention

    This is true, but the death of our planet will happen far far far sooner than the death of the Universe. If we can get another 100 billion years of intelligent life, is that not worth it?

  25. Re:Both right? on The Impossibility of Colonizing the Galaxy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Forget that. What about the technology that humans will have in a MILLION years from now. How about a BILLION years from now? If we are talking about the survival of our species (or survival of the only sentient species that we know of) then we will need to find a way to do this. There is a good chance that artificial intelligence will be possible in the future, and that we won't even need to send humans at all. We could send intelligent machines to other parts of the solar system and have them cultivate intelligent organic life once they get to the other planets.
