  1. Software RAIDs (e.g, md or raidz) don't care if its SATA, SAS or PCIe, they only need the block devices.

  2. 1 Terabit/s divided by 20,000 is 50MBps per student (or even 53Mib/s if you are talking about binary Tebibit).
    That's a lot.

    United charged me about 25$ for 14-hour flight. And I paid in miles, so the actual cost was zero.
    I bought the Wi-Fi for my phone and USB-tethered it to my laptop, so it worked fine on both devices.
    The Wi-Fi was quite slow, and they tried to block all VOIP services and VPNs, but I still managed to connect to a VPN and make a very short phone call (just as a test).

    What kind of law requires someone to provide something it doesn't have?
    And what should the modified law say? Something like: "If a person or an entity doesn't have something, such person or entity doesn't have to give it to anyone."?

  7. Crucial/Micron BX200 is 65$ for 240gb

    It's a much better MLC drive, with SM2246EN controller.
    No reason to buy 2D TLC at all (unless it's sold for dirt cheap prices, e.g. 0.20$/GB like on last Black Friday).
    Either buy MLC or 3D TLC now.

    You probably have a bad unit (either hardware or software). My iMito MX1 is rock stable in android. XBMC is not stable yet, there are occasional FCs, but it closes gracefully without any trouble to the OS.

    I usually buy stuff on Amazon. Please check what Raspberry Pi costs on Amazon and then compare to Amazon's MK808 price. I checked a few sites like Adafruit that offer Raspberry PI for $35+cheap shipping but they don't have it in stock

    Don't forget that you have to add a case (~$10) and wi-fi adapter if you need wireless connectivity, while in in mk808/iMito it is included. No ethernet though, but I didn't need it anyway.

    I would rather compare to RK3066-based miniPCs. It's a dual-core platform with very good performance and has a number of mini-PCs based on it (MK808, UG808, iMITO etc). Android is a joy to use on this platform, and linux is under development.
    The price is 50-60$ including shipping, which is not a lot more than 35$+shipping

    I don't understand the point of getting Raspberry Pi with its ancient CPU. For ~50$ (including shipping from China) you can get mk808, which has:

    1GB RAM/8GB flash

    Well, you might have some false memories. The only religious wars I did participate in until now were related to Linux vs. other OSes or Android vs. iOS etc.
    Actually my answer was somewhat poor attempt at humor - you ranted about a discussion completely unrelated to the original subject, so I answered with a post completely unrelated to yours. Never mind.
    But I do think that all religions and deities are stupid and bad for humankind (or in slightly unscientific terms - they suck), and I'm not afraid to offend anyone by saying so. Yes, in RL as well. And I don't care about all the flamebait moderations I'll receive for it.
