Whether you have RAID0 first or RAID1 first. As long as two As or two Bs don't fail you're OK.
In practice I suppose it's better to have the mirrors in physically different bay areas and attached to different controllers (some RAID controllers seem to have a nasty habit of failing before the drives fail).
"except what is underage? in the UK the age of consent is 16, other European countries it is as low as 14.
For that matter you can marry at 16 in the UK, which requires sex take place or the marriage is voidable."
Adults also don't find it easy to think about the consequences. It's like a statistical curve - e.g. below a certain age 95% shouldn't be going around having sex with everybody just because it feels good to them, slightly older and it's 80%.
And some people never grow up:).
Marriage does bias the curve a bit - because in most sane places you can't do it impulsively (ala Britney Spears). So if the two actually go through all the hassle of getting married they are likely to be reasonably serious about it. Often the two would have people talking to them and finding out pertinent things like: one wants "till death do us part" and the other wants "till the love runs out"... Marriages are a lot less likely to work if both are not committed to "topping up the love".
I doubt she really considered the full implications of her actions.
That's what the ban against underaged sex is for - the underaged are supposedly not as able to understand the many possible consequences of their actions (having a child is a long term responsibility).
That said, most adults including me are not much better:).
Actually stuff like UltraEdit aren't really intuitve. They all have a learning curve.
The advantage is that what you learn can be applied for other applications that follow that standard interface.
Whereas what you learn about the vi interface doesn't really help when you try to use emacs and vice-versa. IMO both interfaces suck. They were fine back in the days when emacs or vi were one of the only few major applications - but it shows signs of premature optimization. Whereas the "WIMP" stuff still works well enough for very many cases.
It's like the brake, throttle and steering wheel of cars. Even though the design isn't necessarily optimal (you have to lift off the throttle and then stomp on the brake to stop - this is error prone), since it is standardized people who already know how to drive find it "easy".
ROFL. I bet the terrorists could just communicate in Arabic or whatever their native tongues is.
I mean look at the Iraq war - the US sent tons of soldiers there but hardly any of them could speak to the locals at all.
Anyway, the US Gov doesn't really give a damn about terrorists - why else would it be in Iraq instead of actually going after Osama?
All it's bothered about is staying in power. And the way to that is through the US people.
Look at what the US Gov does, and not what it says. The "war against terror" is does hardly anything to discourage terrorism, if anything it encourages it. The Patriot act does hardly anything to prevent terrorism - it's just a way of controlling US citizens.
Iraq had fewer links to terrorists than say London (aka Londonistan) had. Atta and the other 9/11 pilots were linked to a Al Qaeda cell in Hamburg.
But no the US Gov went for Iraq instead and never revealed the real reasons why.
Uh, but why do you need another woman to look up to? I don't get it.
I don't hear many of the famous guys needing someone to look up to. Most of them are where they are because they wanted to do something. Not because they wanted to follow/emulate somebody. (Heh in a way even this lady is emulating something, but nevermind - Linus was also rewriting Unix;) ).
If most women need/want someone to look up to, then it shouldn't be a surprise if fewer women are at the "top".
Seems many women are pretty happy to be in the background or play supporting roles, but some people seem to think it's wrong. Nowadays there's little stopping women from doing what they want (at least in non-Saudi-style countries). So why encourage women to do what they aren't interested in?
Maybe similarly, someone should encourage a generation of guys to get into nursing. Greater upper body strength does help for moving bedridden patients. The last I checked there are very few male nurses.
Don't get me wrong, I sure don't mind more women in tech.
Could be great if they took the "I can't be wearing this tonight! I/Ms XYZ wore this last week! I have to wear something different/better", to "I can't be coding this tonight, I/Ms XYZ already coded it last week. I have to code something different/better". *LOL*. Was quite surprised my friend actually did that stereotype thing the other day "I can't wear this...". I thought it was a myth! Or only happened in certain subcultures...
Sure in the great scheme of things it's probably all vanity of vanities anyway. But still - the new code/product can be enjoyed by millions. In contrast, apparently a new dress can only be best enjoyed by the first one to wear it;).
A person under 16 can want sex AND state that they want sex.
But they may be <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn 6738">less likely</a> to know the full consequences of their actions especially long term consequences.
The chances of at least one of them being hurt badly is quite high. AFAIK many people develop greater emotional _bonds_ when they have sex (even if they don't think they will). It's called making love after all. Life sure sucks if you end up being very attached to a bastard/bitch. Maybe for some, or after a while it's no longer making love, and it's just sex. But that sure doesn't seem like such a "plus" to me...
So I'd still say sex outside of marriage is wrong. And a marriage with at least one person being "underage" is often unwise. People are more likely to change dramatically during those ages...
If it's pretty certain that it's going to be one of those "lived happily ever after" cases, then OK... But like how often does that happen? AND can't you two just wait just a few more years? Oh you mean one of you wants "till death do us part" and the other wants "till the love runs out"? Uh huh... Good luck keeping the love topped up if only one party is committed to topping it up...
I'm not a "Magic the Gathering" player nor a biologist, but I figure if you take out a huge bunch of cards from a MtG player's deck he could still win in a particular game against a particular opponent.
But if one day he encounters a different opponent his deck may not be good enough even if he reshuffles over and over again.
Sure it MAY actually be still all crap, but who decides what's crap or not? Maybe 90% of all the songs in your MP3 collection are crap to you. But maybe one day an important guest comes and wants to listen to one of the "crap" ones...
So why remove dead code especially code that was _previously_ successfully used? It may come in handy again.

Yeah, you could eventually end up with a situation where a very large number of people/entities have the equivalent of a big red "DESTROY EVERYTHING" button.
I believe there are a number of solutions to this problem. But I also believe that not all of them may be palatable.
Commercial airliners are hard to beat on a per distance basis. But they aren't that safe on a per trip basis. Probably still safer than bikes, but maybe not other vehicles.
Also which airline and type of plane you fly can make a diff:).
BTW if you have a X chance of dying in any particular hour, if you take a long time to travel to a spot, the odds of you dying during your journey are a higher, not even taking into account the mode of transportation.
If you really have a huge grid, just leave the dead brick there. As long as you have a way to switch it off, what's the big prob?
An alternative is if having a lower storage density isn't a problem, then you could make the cooling channels bigger and the you could have mechanisms or robots to move the dead bricks out via these channels.
AFAIK google just leaves their faulty PC nodes in place, and has schedules when the faulty nodes are cleared out.
As long as you have a reliable and effective way to isolate the faulty component you should be fine.
Why should saying/thinking that people are often stupid/ignorant make me an enemy of democracy?
I'm fine with the stupid/ignorant people making their stupid/ignorant decisions. But why can't I say or think they're stupid/ignorant? It's the truth as I see it, and there's plenty of evidence that I'm right even if that's unfortunate.
What's with "arrogant fool" and all that? Are you attacking me personally because you're sore about something unrelated, or for some other reason?
As for the Iraq war, I didn't like the _dishonesty_ involved in justifying the war. You don't have to tell explicit lies to be dishonest. And there sure was lots of dishonesty. Even now it is not clear why the US is in Iraq. Remember the original (bullshit) reasons? Look at all the back-pedaling.
The DMCA is bad, nuff said. Go look it up yourself.
BTW, I sure won't want to be part of the US ruling elite. How about you?
Well in _my_ books it sure gives you a lot better odds than the usual run of the mill fresh grads (most of whom are just "filler" material). If you don't have real work experience, that's all you got right?
My prev company wanted to hire someone like that - even though he didn't have official job experience, he did a fair bit of stuff for his college whilst a student.
In the end I think his college wanted to keep him and I suppose made him a better offer.
My guess is he would have been better than the other guy we hired instead - though that one had actual job experience...
Uh. For IT the barriers are pretty low - lots of software is free/cheap. Hardware is fairly cheap. Info is out there if you bother to look for it.
Go do some stuff for fun/experience in your spare time. Download an eval version of VMware and even if you only have two real computers, you could have a pretty complex bunch of systems connected to each other - n tier etc.
Sure you're probably not going to get experience in SAP and EMC stuff, but there's lots of other stuff you can get experience in. You might even be able to get stuff really cheap from ebay to play and learn with.
If you don't do anything in the field you're supposed to be "interested in", you'd be like an "artist" who wants a job, but hasn't drawn or even doodled anything for the past 6 months, worse if the last work of art was what you had to do in order to graduate, and you haven't done anything since.
Sure people are racist. But it's not racism to generalize reasonably accurately - it's called using your brains. It's just dumb to generalize inaccurately.
If most them actually behave like that, then it's safe to assume any one of them could be like that. Even your anecdote backs up the stereotype.
If a particular breed of dog is prone to biting people, you'd be safe to stay away from any you encounter on the street. e.g. most labradors are reasonably friendly and happy to let you pat them, but some other breeds are a lot more likely to chomp your hand.
BTW the black Africans are unfortunately already good at making themselves look bad (e.g. Rwanda, Somalia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe) without the help of black Americans.
The African and American blacks are making it a lot easier to lump all blacks together in one unflattering category. Only ones stopping that are probably the West Indian blacks.
Black Americans should _learn_ from what Bill Cosby said, rather than castigate him.
I said: >> Of course sometimes (often?) the public is too ignorant/stupid to know they are being tricked/screwed.
You said: "With that, you reveal yourself as an enemy of democracy and just another in a long line of arrogant fools who fantasize that anyone who diagrees with them is too stupid to run their own lives."
The justification for my statement is the DMCA, "Iraq supported Al Qaeda" and other such stuff.
And fascist governments don't rely on a single layer to achieve and hold on to power.
So is this really a good thing or not? If it doesn't really provide the bang for the buck then public money is being wasted here (assuming that the USPS is at least part-funded by public money).

Yeah, but you missed the main point: is the US Gov really interested in preventing terrorism? Sure looks like it's interested in something else.
