"Bytes don't cost money. The capacity to transfer them does. That T-1 costs the same amount of money sitting idle as it does running at 100% 24/7."
Yes they do. If you've ever worked for an ISP, you'd understand this. The ISP who you are using is in many cases a customer of other ISP's, and those arrangements typically aren't the same as the "flat" rate an ISP charges for a residential connection; in fact most transit arrangements are often usage based.
Isn't it ironic that the "neoconservative" label is like the new "communism"? Dang Neoconservatives are *everywhere* compromising our precious bodily fluids.
So it wasn't a real bomb, that doesn't mean the authoritays overreacted. Kids have been killed for carrying a "realistic looking" but fake firearm. I don't think the situation would be any different if she carried one of those semi concealed at an airport;-)
Granted, it's a big misunderstanding, and the "hoax device" crap is a little thin, but it wasn't the brightest thing someone could do.
NetApp's WAFL is good, but I expect Sun's ZFS to an equally good job a significantly lower cost.
Hard to say for certain, as comparing WAFL and ZFS ignores the often overlooked but additional integration that you get with a Filer as opposed to a more general purpose system running ZFS, which is still pretty green when it comes to this sort of stuff:
It's been my experience that data corruption typically occurs in RAM (ECC), at HBA, cabling or drive level itself. The difference in firmware behavior with integrated system vs. some drive you bought at Fry's is where true "End to End" data protection comes into play.
Adding up that level of integration makes the file system merely a component in a very very expensive system;)

FWIW, the setup he's describing is actually Carnivore (Narus). Which could be for CALEA purposes, or the NSA, perhaps both.

I don't know what you're smoking, but NetApp does not use Sun's OS.
