Well, I don't mean to defend the Sun but Davies talks about the 16 hour days all the time in the "Who Confidential" pieces they run after the main show here in the US (they are rolling out the Eccleston series just now on PBS.)
It's technically complicated, insanely great TV, and after a run like Davies has had I'd feel entitled to take a hiatus. Who knows? Ultimately the series is a commercial property . . .
The weak link is going to be the enclosure. Does it have dual interfaces? Dual Power? In the disk tray to chassis connection reliable? Does hot-swap really work, every time? Can you get environmentals from the enclosure? What about firmware upgrades? There is no Hell quite like cheap-ass disk enclosure Hell.
And someone get back to me in 7 years with the track record of these 1TB SATA disks, when subjected to continuous, database-style random access activity.
From the Line Tech web page: "Dual 300W power supplies. If you have 6 or fewer hard drives installed, then only one power supply needs to be on." - Not really dual-power IMHO.
And ZFS is no panacea, although it's a great step forward in Linux-land, and as far as I know, you still can't create a bootable ZFS volume. (It's been a while since I messed with it, so this may be wrong.)
Should be fine for your home system, though. Buy a cheap AIT drive on Ebay and keep it backed up every once in a while, you should be fine.
This is Grand Prix racing, not a bunch of hicks with tractors from NASCAR. You know, super expensive cars, handsome drivers with fancy European names like "Dario", silken ascots worn under tight-fitting racing uniforms, sponsorships by barely profitable Internet firms . . . OMFG! IT'S 1999 AGAIN!
Well, I think the related theory of PC is really like this:
If The Man says it happened, then it must not be true. I meet people who smoke, and deny that smoking can hurt them, because The Man says it's bad for them.
There is a difference between "ignoring" and "denying" the Holocaust. There's every indication that our Modern World is capable of perpetuating new state-sponsored holocausts of equal or larger scale that will cause the Holocaust of 1938 - 1945 to fade into obscurity. That particular Holocaust, two hundred years from now, could very well be ignored by history schoolteachers in the interests of expediency.
As for "denying": It used to be that only one kind of person "denied" the Holocaust, the person who wished Jews dead. But now it's fashionable to "deny" the Holocaust because evidence of the Holocaust is presented by The Man.
Beware, haters of The Man - you are known by the company you keep.
If you have something that is valuable enough that someone is trying to break your 1024-bit crypto, you might actually have bigger problems than someone possibly breaking your crypto.
Meaning, you might keep an eye open for incoming Hellfire missiles or some such, or making sure your Oracle username/password isn't "scott/tiger":
Or just run a moving average - add the mileage and gallons consumed up for the last 5 fill-ups and you will iron out any variations.
Useless data: 1999 Honda CR-V, varies from 21 to 25 MPG or so, the moving average is consistently 23.5, except when I go on a long trip that burns more than one tank.
Nope. The initial database passwords were sniffed using a long range antenna after cracking a single Marshalls store's obsolete WEP setup. They could have done this from anywhere within 1/2 mile of the store, probably.
After the bad guys got what they needed they split, and they were long gone by the time the scope of the disaster became apparent.
Let's face it - YOU've probably made a dumb mistake at least once in your life, and were fortunate enough that the press didn't have a cluster-fuck over it, and you probably didn't get fired.
Remember, we are talking extremely unlikely events. To give a geek analogy, do you have fire suppression in your server room? When was the last time you head of a data center burning down? Well, then if you have fire suppression in your data center, then you are an idiot and therefore must be fired.
I can't believe all the asshat responses to this. This is not some secret plot to prevent sales of used music and forward the information to the RIAA. It's to prevent fencing stolen CDs, just like there are similar requirements for reselling other used goods, like copper pipe and and motor vehicles.
How dare you make an informative post based on real facts? This is/.!!?!
Also, I think TFA may be conflating MITM with phishing. I'd like to see how many frauds have been really been succesfully perpetrated using real MITM (with contact back to the bank for something otehr than static content, as opposed to plain old phishing), It's not hard to set up a phishing site with a "real" SSL cert from some dodgy issuer, I've seen LOTS of those.
Still I'm a little baffled why MOST sites have non-SSL login pages - it's not like the login page is more than a fraction of their total content delivered, most of the sites are butt-slow anyway, and it's actually easier to just bag the whole site in SSL than it is to do bits and pieces. There's got to be some explanation, even if it is a lame one like "That's the way BEA works out of the box" or something.
The unsocialized rude punk who showed up in the dirty T-shirt only got hired between 1997 and 2000 during the boom years. Since the boom years represent of a large proportion of total/.ers experience, it may seem like those punks had cred.
But the reality is that Google's hiring practices and work environment aren't all that different from the Silicon Valley pre-boom good old days. I worked at Sun from 1991 to 1996 on and off, and Google doesn't sound a whole lot different from Sun in those good old days. They are even in the same buildings - you could easily go sailing or windsurfing on your lunch hour then, and you still can, now.
"What could possibly go wrong?" Well, how about "Triumph of the Will", only with NASCAR. Or for the less serious maybe some of the mass hysteria scenes from "Spongebob Squarepants."
This is *small claims* court, fercryinoutloud. The judge wasn't trapped, they didn't even read your brief in detail, and they are not required to. In fact, most cases are judged (like traffic court) based on whether the judge perceives you are wasting the court's time or not.
That being said, if you are unlucky enough to live in a state with elected judges, many many judges are cranks themselves. Enlist an attorney friend at election time and ask them to tell who who the good judges are and who are the cranks.
Typical Small Claims Case No 1: Plaintiff: "Your honor, to keep it brief, I wuz ripped off!" Judge: "I find in favor of plaintiff! Next"
Typical Case No 2: Plaintiff: "You honor it is a gross violation of that most fundamental of Human Rights the US Evil Government and their secret UFO base and allow me assemble my overwhelming evidence that they sap and impurify blah blah blah blah.. " Judge:"STFU! Next!"

OK, for the humor impaired:

then you can leave off the Obama part.
Oh, come on, somebody mod this funny - it's even on-topic. Puhleeez?
