    They probably run some algorithm to find out in which order they need to fix problems to maximize profit.

  4. Re:Too small on Brian Aker On the Future of Databases · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I bought the same batch, but before setting up the RAID, I used each drive differently (ran benchmarks, copied files etc.). Some heavily, some light usage. The probability of them crashing at the same time should be smaller then if all of them get the same wear and tear.

    He did, and it didn't help. He still got huge spikes of latency, which really do miracles in online games and voip.

  6. Re:Hey George on Why BitTorrent Causes Latency and How To Fix It · · Score: 1

    He did. When he capped at 10KB/s he still got high latency on avg and huge spikes.

    Obama implies GoDaddy,

    Clinton minus Rackspace.

    What do you mean?

    If you read the article, you'd see that he did just that. You'd also see that it didn't work. Go read the article.

  9. Re:I don't really get the Java hate around here on What Makes a Programming Language Successful? · · Score: 1

    It's silly to say "Language A is better than Language B". What makes more sense is "Language A is better than Language B at task X."

    Language A is better than Language B at task X for person P working at company C with problem E, D and F, and P has most experience with A.
  10. Not again! on Comcast Briefly Loses Control of Its Domain Name · · Score: 1

    This has happened before. Anyone remember the story about sex.com.

  16. Re:because they've been conditioned on Why Is Less Than 99.9% Uptime Acceptable? · · Score: 1

    Windows NT (ie: contemporary Windows) has been a multiuser OS since it's first release.

    Is this why Windows is begging for a reboot whenever some small update is installed? And it's really bad for non-server editions (actually rebooting without asking).
  17. Re:How will they handle the higher bandwidth needs on Higher-Resolution YouTube Videos Currently In Testing · · Score: 4, Informative

    I hope H.264 will be available in flash soon. Stage6 had to close because of the expenses in delivering HQ videos, which is bad news.

    Does this affect any other CDNs? Will they sue those too?
