I agree, I have a 2400 Adaptec. It works great. Rebuild times were slow with a Dual 450Mhz machine (rebuilding a 500Gig array), but I could live with it. The Adaptec controller works great under various other OSes as well (FreeBSD, Windows).
That I put a RAID5 controller into. It works great. Spend the extra $$$ on a hardware controller. It's well worth it, especially when one of the drives decides to die.......
Seriously though, why Windows? I use BofA, and like 2 years ago when they changed the ATMs around, it's slower. Color screens, and asking if I want English or Spanish. There are more steps to get money in and out. And, they were doing "advertising" on them for a while. While the transaction was being "processed" I'd have to listen to some blurb about services BofA offers. That has seemed to have stopped recently, but...I can imagine it will be back soon. Along with the ATM "glitches" coming......
If you encode files using Apple's Lossless format, then it might be worth it. I noticed a HUGE difference when I moved from the Apple earbuds to the Shure e3cs. I imagine the e5cs are even better. I tried a pair briefly, but....alas.....can't afford them:-(
Depends on how you encode your music. I mean, if you keep everything at 128K AACs, yeah, that is a LOT of music. But if you encode things at 256 AAC or even Apple lossless, that space gets used rather quickly.
Yeah, but do chicks dig it? I don't think you are going to get laid flashing that hunk of metal around. It looks more like some sort of video game thing.
You will be a lonely guy owning one of these. No sex appeal.
The military is all volunteer. A lot of these people, and I know a few, signed up because it was a "cake job". You go through basic training, then once a month you do your "training". In the mean time you collect a lot of money. If your a musician (which I am) it's even better, they let you buy instruments on Government money, etc, etc.
So, when some of these people got activated, Christmas time came to an end. They realized what it means to serve in the military. I have a couple of friends who are serving in Iraq. I can only think of one person who wants out because he signed on thinking it was a "cake" job. The others are there cause they feel and see that they are making a difference and helping people.
Deficit spending has been going on for a long time. Anyone who says they can "balance the budget" is pulling your leg. They are making predictions based on estimates. The numbers aren't real.
I don't think taxing the hell out of the people who make $200K a year is right. Those are the people who invest money, who own businesses, who generate jobs.
Ha! Rush? I think not. Have NEVER listened to him.
However, if you compare Kerry's legislative record with others it is not consistant. Go look. I know you are taking the Democrat Party line hard up the a** but take a break for a sec and compare his record to like Liberman's, or Daschle, or others.
May God man. Stop drinking Kool-aid. Look at the man's voting record. Look at where he has stood on issues. It's scary. The man has no core. And no TV interviews in how many months? Is he scared???
Well, then again, if you do admit a mistake, it makes you look weak. Perhaps not at home, but abroad. If the President said he messed something up, can you imagine how that would be taken in Iraq? More fuel to the fire I think.......
Oh I am sorry, I thought I was talking to an adult.
No, I am an adult. But during the 80s and the majority of the 90s I was not.
Yes he does, it involves more then doing nothing. Bush has plan too, he will completelly ignore the situation like he did for the last four years.
Oh? Kerry has a plan? Is it FLIP or FLOP this week? I suppose it involves the UN, right? Oh wait, they are the ones not doing anything about all those dead kids. My mistake. Maybe there is some sort of Oil for Kids deal going on there.
The Bush administration (use a freakin spell check) isn't perfect, but at least it's doing something. Name me one thing the UN has done recently that is productive.....besides lining it's members pockets with money
Ha! I think my taxes will be going up if Kerry gets in the White House. I have to pay for all these Health Care and other crap programs he wants....
Look, he acted on what information he had at the time. Who knows, maybe they moved whatever it was to Jordan or somewhere. If he had to do it again, he would. I mean, look at how many people, agencies, other governments thought Saddam had weapons. Even Kerry said he was a threat with WMDs.
I don't think he has an ego at all. I think you are wanting to hear him say that he would have done things differently. If he could go back in time, yeah, he probably would. But you can't.
Is it really lying if at the time you were 99.9% sure he had a WMD? Come on. It was a mistake yes, but a information mistake.
"Where were you when those graves were being dug up? Where was bush? Where was runsfeld, perle, cheney and the rest of the war mongers? When amnesty international was publishing it's list of atrocities in Iraq did you join them, did you give them money? Or did you mock them for being liberal faggots."
I was in middle school asshole.
I am touched by your newfound love of the iraqi people, I really am. If only with people like you cared about the iraqis before 9/11. Like maybe in the 1980s when Saddam was gassing the kurds or when saddam was putting doen the Shia. Maybe even when the UN sanctions were starving hundreds of thousands of people. Too bad back then you didn't give a fuck about the iraqis back then. Back then they were just another set of ragheads
Again, I was like in preschool dickwad.
Now that you love the iraqis so much maybe you can learn to love other people was well. People in Uganda, sudan, haiti, iran, north korea, china, russia, chechnia, and palestine all need your love. Please love these people as much as you love the iraqis. They too need help from brutal dictators, widespread disease, famine, starvation and genocide.
I do love these people. What would you suggest doing? Oh wait, I bet Kerry has a "plan" for this.....
You are right, these kinds of things are just not something the 21st century should put up with. Only if we had a president that was comitted to ending opression everywhere in the world.
Naw, I think we should start with making sure people can spell first.....
Again I am so glad you love the iraqi people now. Too bad you didn't give a flying fuck about them while saddam was killing them by the bucketful. If you cared about them then you would have saved hundreds of thousands of people. Now they are dead beacause you didn't give a shit and belittled people who did.
Oh I did? Really? You have a transcript of what I said?
Now that you love the iraqis and care about the freedoms of others please love the sudanese and ugandans. I know how much you hate the UN but according to those good for nothing bastards tens of thousands of children have died in Uganda alone. Even if you hate the UN maybe you can find it in your heart to help those people achieve democracy.
Ok, so, what is the UN doing about it? Nothing. Sure, if I was incharge, I'd have the US go in and stop all that mass killing.
Yes, I think we should learn from our mistakes, but don't. Saudias we can't do anything about. If we start moving away from Oil that would be the most powerful weapon against them.
Well, lets see, who was against the 1991 invasion. Oh, that's right, Kerry. Oh, and I bet he voted for the Kurd uprising before voting against it.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly. They totally should have won. That call was not right.
I agree, I have a 2400 Adaptec. It works great. Rebuild times were slow with a Dual 450Mhz machine (rebuilding a 500Gig array), but I could live with it. The Adaptec controller works great under various other OSes as well (FreeBSD, Windows).
It's called EBAY. Try it, you can find everything there.........
What? No. You can get very decent Hardware RAID5 controllers, and the performance is a whole lot better than software.......
That I put a RAID5 controller into. It works great. Spend the extra $$$ on a hardware controller. It's well worth it, especially when one of the drives decides to die.......

Back to the DOS/Text interface of old please!
If you encode files using Apple's Lossless format, then it might be worth it. I noticed a HUGE difference when I moved from the Apple earbuds to the Shure e3cs. I imagine the e5cs are even better. I tried a pair briefly, but....alas.....can't afford them :-(
So a noticeable difference than the e3cs? I love my e3cs. Great earphones!
Depends on how you encode your music. I mean, if you keep everything at 128K AACs, yeah, that is a LOT of music. But if you encode things at 256 AAC or even Apple lossless, that space gets used rather quickly.
If only my music collection would fit on a 30gig iPod. Or even a 60gig one :-(
Just think. A Motorola phone, able to use AAC files, plus some sort of new Newton OS. Oh......God take me now!
You will be a lonely guy owning one of these. No sex appeal.
No no no. You want to get either the Shure e3cs or the Shure e5cs. Both are great. I use the e3cs on my iPod. Can't afford the e5cs at the moment.
So, when some of these people got activated, Christmas time came to an end. They realized what it means to serve in the military. I have a couple of friends who are serving in Iraq.

So you are saying Apple is the sports car, and the Cray is the truck?
Well, then again, if you do admit a mistake, it makes you look weak. Perhaps not at home, but abroad. If the President said he messed something up, can you imagine how that would be taken in Iraq? More fuel to the fire I think.......
Compare it to this new Cray system. Bang for the buck would make the Apple system better.
So, how does this compare to running Apple's Xserve? Bang per buck? Heat? Space? Etc etc....
Oh I am sorry, I thought I was talking to an adult.

Cause Saddam had a chance. It was called the 1991 Gulf War. He lost. He had to follow what the UN told him he had to. He was not.
