A raid 0 is indeed more likely to fail than a single disk. Let's say the probability of one disk failing within 5 years is 2.5% and we have a 2-disk raid 0. Then the probability of the raid 0 failing is P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X=0) = 1 - (1-0.025)^2 = 0.049375
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists. -- Blaise Pascal

So, uh, then I'll just use a screwdriver and have fun stabbing you or I'll just smash your head in with a stone. Or how about kicking the shit out of you with a pair of Doc Martens? How about a nice baseball or cricket bat to the head? A shovel will do just fine as well but STOP! Hammertime! Why don't I just use a scarf to strangle you? Where do you want to end this crap? You might enjoy living with mandatory children's cutlery, I don't.
The UK has potentially more surveillance than North Korea, but it's been useless in preventing crime. And don't give me that shit about saving lives. The UK doesn't have proper health care and just last week two ambulancemen were arrested for letting a man die because "he was not worth saving" ( http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/health/article5420921.ece ) There are far more serious issues the UK should deal with than cutlery.
Yea, I only buy Seasonic and you're right, EarthWatts have their good reputation because they were made by Seasonic. I bought an Antec NSK 4480, which comes with one, and am happy with it. The case, on the other hand, is..well, it was considerably cheaper (150EUR at the time) than an Antec P182 + a Seasonic PSU.
Once had a bequiet! which was neither quiet nor any good, so I don't trust them anymore.
If it's running 24/7 and your old Athlon 3200+ was good enough, then pick any current dual or quad desktop CPU with the lowest energy usage. Pick a motherboard with an IGP and plenty of SATA2. Throw in 8 or 16GB RAM and a couple of hdds. Most importantly, check silentpcreview.com so you know which case to buy and how to silence it.
Overall, how promising is it? Iâ(TM)d never argue that improving support for Web standards or souping up performance is insignificant, but overall, it looks like this is Opera 10.0 not because itâ(TM)s a huge deal but because the last version was 9.6. In other words, itâ(TM)s only.4 of a great big upgrade. If that.
What the hell is "it's only.4 of a great big upgrade" supposed to mean? What about Opera 10 using a totally different engine? And since when are we back on measuring software by its version number? The rest of the article is just as pitiful, if not entirely wrong. Opera's mail client could always delete old mail, the new thing here is that it can automatically delete after n days.
Interesting. I have a PII-400 with Win95 which boots in about 15 seconds, including a 5sec GRUB delay, and shuts down in 1-2 seconds. SCSI hdds are nice.
Yes I know, but I don't intend to pirate a game I don't plan on buying even if I liked it. I find it morally wrong to pirate something and keeping it if I like it instead of buying it and showing my gratitude for hours of fun with that purchase. The last game I pirated was Civilization 4, which initially had a lot of bugs with graphic cards. While the game was pure fun when it worked, the bugs affected my radeon 9800 pro, so a purchase was postponed and I deleted the game. After patch 1.74 was released last year I bought it and had fun with it ever since, even though it uses SafeDisc 4.
Maybe we can download it for free, without the DRM, in 10 years or so. I would buy it if it was less than 10EUR simply because I have collected all other C&C games, as I am an old geezer just like you who has fallen in love with what Westwood once created. But like Joy Division once sang, "Love will tear us apart again", it seems this romance is over.
What's worse than her being dumb is that she is fucking blonde. For fucks sake, the original Tanya was brunette. How could EA fuck the C&C universe this bad? At least dye the bitch's hair. Is a little bit of continuity too much to ask for?
I'm far from being an emo-fan, that isn't the point. You're simply a hypocrite.
It's not a worthy goal because it's funny, that is an asinine reason, just like needing to grow a thicker skin. To some 9/11 or Columbine is funny. Doesn't change the fact that the Super Columbine Massacre RPG was an asshole thing to do, just like this Space Invader mod.
Pray tell, why is it a worthy goal to belittle emo music? Aren't you just an insensitive asshole? Why do you even praise this game after claiming that the answer is yes to the real question if games can make statements that aren't: -I want attention -I hate (insert group of people here) -I'm a jerk ?

No, it's not, but I'd like to hear more about your shrewd point of view. There are thousands of cars the world can pick from and I don't see the average person having a nervous breakdown over the decision which to buy.
Okay, I know these are unpopular things to say, but I feel they need saying. These are just my opinions.
(1) "Usability" is in the mind of the user. If you learned how to use some other system first and now expect that any other way of doing things isn't "usable" enough, that's just plain old resistance to change. It says more about you than it does about the usability of the software in question.
It seems you've never used emacs, little one. And no, it doesn't say more about me than the software if I find that almost all GUIs in Linux are shit and that the command line is more usable.
(2) "Designers" who can't code have absolutely no business "working" in software. If you think you really know how an interface should work and look, then learn to code it. Otherwise, you're just a critic of the kind that the NYT doesn't hire.
"Right." And neither have "coders" who can't "design" something the "average" "user" "thinks" is "usable" .
The Gates Foundation may have picked them because of their race, their history or because they mostly don't belong to the middleclass. The reason, quite frankly, isn't that important and I don't care either. I'm not jealous. They just gave them computers. Gates didn't sign the contract with OnSat and Gates didn't make OnSat double-bill the Navajos. According to the article, the tribe's Division of Community Development picked OnSat and didn't pick the most cost-effective service in a fair bidding process, breaking federal rules and that's why they're now without internet access. Tough.
Somehow I doubt Billy Boy Gates went to the reservoir - his Bear-Killer cocked and loaded - and made them pick OnSat just for the fun of seeing them - 8 years later - without teh interwebz. Now if it had been Ballmer it could be an elaborate plan to prevent them from using Linux. Joking aside, it's unreasonable to believe that Gates planned it all just to fuck with them like a little antfarm.

Even getting a decent lamp server fully setup is a chore under freebsd. Hopefully debian/apt can breath more life into it!
I couldn't imagine why...
I see someone does not understand probability.
A raid 0 is indeed more likely to fail than a single disk.
Let's say the probability of one disk failing within 5 years is 2.5% and we have a 2-disk raid 0.
Then the probability of the raid 0 failing is
P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X=0) = 1 - (1-0.025)^2 = 0.049375

Except, of course, for the Antec EarthWatts. And the TruePower series. Both of which are... made by Seasonic.
Not entirely true.
The older EarthWatts were made by Seasonic, the newer ones are made by Delta.

Opera's mail client could always delete old mail, the new thing here is that it can automatically delete after n days.
In short: exhaust your reading and searches before asking questions on the lists. The OS is free, but developers' time is limited.
And that justifies arrogance and being an asshole?
We must be living in different worlds.

Rather offtopic, but does your father or do you still have the blueprints for that tank system? I would be quite interested in them.
