Los Alamos National Labs uses 3Com SATA raid cards in their scientific compute clusters. The 9500 series is excellent, and very well supported in Linux. I've built several multi-terrabyte cluster heads for them. Sixteen 250GB drives in one 3U case, on two 8 channel SATA raid cards doing raid 5.
Yes, I did wear ear protection while configuring and testing the things.
There's no room to have a vertical cooling system in a 1U case. The cooling always has horizontal airflow, whether its from a fan mounted on the side of the heatsink, or external fans and ducting.
Whether or not this is better depends on the specifics of the airflow in your case.
Oh my God. It has to be a joke, right? If not... Oh my God, that poor, poor girl.
I love the part about her "28 year old friend" who picks her up after school so they can play Animal Crossing, but then he admits he doesn't even own it and then "started talking about things to do with the human body that I didn't really understand."
Or the picture he sent her from his mobile phone that she can't tell what it is. (it's a testicle)
Does Animal Crossing really contain late night porn and heroin dealers?
I have had to take several of these types of tests. Some are designed to catch certain types of immoral behavior by asking what you would do in a given situation, and what you believe others would do. In general, people actually do what they think others would do, so if you answer that you think everyone steals office supplies, you are admitting to stealing office supplies.
The other type is like the Myers-Briggs test, and is designed to see if you are a good fit for the job. We don't want to stick introverts in sales positions, nor extroverts in a tiny cubicle coding all day long and never talking to anyone.
I don't think you can send information down the quantum channel. You entangle two photons. One goes to person A, one to person B. Person A measures the spin of one, and becuase they are entangled, he now knows that the other has opposite spin. He uses the spin to generate one bit of a one time pad, knowing that person B can derive that bit from his photon. There is no way of encoding information in those bits, it is random which way the spin is until you measure it, and then you know the spin of both particles. So the quantum part is only useful in sending a string of completely random bits, perfect for a one time pad, considerably less so for actual data. If the photon is intercepted along the way, person B won't get the photon and can not decrypt the data stream, therefore, he knows that the quantum chanel is compromised. At least, that's how I understand it.
My family bought it's first pc back in 1979, a TRS80 Model 1. My dad loved computer games back then, but he hated how long it took to get anywhere. He said, "why doesn't someone come up with a game where you can define how long you have to play, and it will make sure you finish something meaningful in that amount of time." Well, no one has made anything like that, and now he doesn't play games.
Back then I thought it was a dumb idea, but now that I'm in my thirties I know exactly what he meant.
It's called dinosaur bocce. Choose a species of dinosaur to be your ball. Grab one with your noodly appendage. Roll it across a field. Repeat. In the end, you end up with a big pile of dead dinosaurs. Just don't ask me about the FSM's opponents. I really don't want to have to explain the Swimming Scallopini Squid or the Laughing Lasagna Lizard to you.
They don't want to buy an OS, they want to buy an OS company. Rolling their own won't get them the developers and brand recognition, which is what they are really after, not just another platform on which to run their DB.
Well, I'm no young raver kid anymore, so I'm a little out of the loop. I never noticed any lingering effects from K, but I never did that much. A little bump every 20 minutes or so never made me maudlin or antisocial. As for its safety, I'm basing my statements of things I heard at a presentation at a conference called Mindstates II, which admittedly may have been biased.
Oh, I didn't think that's what you were claiming. It's very rare for cannabis to have 20% THC, let alone 30%. As for what happened to the job, it was the feds cracking down, which made the managers scared so they started embezzling money and refusing new members. I'd say it was more the managers than the feds, which is very sad, because it was the best run club in the business otherwise. We had free support groups for people with AIDS and cancer, harm reduction plans to help people kick hard drugs like heroin, and free food every day to help people with appetite problems due to AIDS or chemo. Laguna Honda hospital contaced us to deliver cannabis to their AIDS patients. Nancy Pelosi came to our club to congratulate us on how much good we were doing. The city declared a day "CHAMP day" (CHAMP was the name of the club) and we did benefits in the park.
I worked in a medical marijuanna club in San Francisco, building computer security systems to keep our patients' medical records out of the hands of the Feds. The highest grade cannabis commonly available today has 20%-25% THC. Some high end strains that have been grown absolutely perfectly may have upwards of 30%. On the other hand, THC is not the only thing in cannabis that gets you high. We had a college student come in one day and show us some absolutely 100% pure THC he had extracted in the lab. That should get you SUPER high, right? Nope, it really didn't do much at all. Without the other cannabinoids I couldn't even recognize the effects. We also had a fellow who made hash oil that was 80% pure. Now that stuff would put you in a coma if you weren't careful. We had things like movie night at the club, and sometimes he would come around and give out free samples. We had to ask him to be more careful, some of our new members who weren't used to pot would get so intoxicated they couldn't get up off the couch afterwards. Trying to herd a bunch of near comatose cancer and AIDS patients out the door at nine at night is no fun.
Actually, what he's looking for is Ketamine. Horse tranquilizers. Dry the liquid, powder it, and snort it. The high lasts 20 minutes, there is no comedown, and it's completely harmless. Actually, it even protects neurons from oxygen deprivation. A ketamine high is very similar to being slightly drunk, although you don't want to mix ketamine with alcohol as the two potentiate each other and you may get queasy or find yourself unable to focus your eyes. It's a disassociative, which is why (in higher doses) it was used as a general anaesthetic for children (it's that safe.) But the kids would wake up and claim they had talked to God, which disturbed many parents, so they stopped using it in humans. Who cares if a horse talks to God, right? The disassociative part reminds me of the effects of LSD, about six hours into a trip, when you get all introspective. But very manageable. Physically, it takes a little getting used to. The first time you try walking on ketamine, you'll feel like your limbs are all the wrong size and you'll walk like a marionette. But good luck finding any now, the feds have cracked down and I haven't seen any in years.
My point is that you had a reason for pointing out that everything is spin. That's your spin on spin. You had a reason for pointing it out in regards to the EFF. What is your reason? Are we all so simple that we don't understand that everyone makes mistakes? Are we so dim that we can't comprehend that whenever anyone says anything they may actually have a reason for saying it, usually involving influencing someone else? It just seems so trite to say that everything is spin that I felt you had to have some darker motivation. My apologies if that was not the case, but really, why point out something so obvious?
Reminds me of a recent flight I took. I sat down next to an attractive woman who was perusing a magazine, and by way of conversation, asked her what she was reading. She said it was an article about penis size in various ethnic groups. She said that Jewish men had the thickest penises, while Native Americans have the longest. So when she asked me what my name was, I said, "Tonto Goldberg."
For instance, the spin of pointing out that everyone has spin is that you want to denigrate what you are commenting on without appearing to do so outright. Obviously you have a beef with the EFF and you want to show them as being the same, morally, as everyone else. By extension, if they have no moral high ground they should not be preaching to others about what's right. Therefore, they shouldn't be listened to about anything.
I've heard that before the industrial revolution in this country, our educational system was geared towards putting out free thinkers, because that's what was needed to conquer the frontier. After the industrial revolution, the capitalist robber barons knew they needed a highly educated population to work as engineers in their factories, but they also knew that they needed this population to be completely dependent on them and unable to put two and two together on their own. So they gave a lot of money to the educational system, with the caveat that things had to be taught their way. And so wrote memorization and the modern educational system was born out of a concerted effort by the rich and unscrupulous to train up a whole class of engineer/slaves.
Wow. Just.... Wow. The scariest part is that you think most people are like you. Look up the definition of sociopath sometime, see what it says about empathy.

Apple vs Bloggers

It amuses me how some people like to claim the exact opposite of reality in order to make themselves seem oppressed or in the minority. Many of the posts here have been in support of Apple protecting it's secrets. So don't try to make this seem like some kind of corporate hating group think knee jerk response. You are about the 200th person here to stand up and defend apple.
Which by the way, is bullshit. If someone in a company tells me something, I must assume it isn't a trade secret or they wouldn't be telling me. Companies have too much power and control over our society as it is. When I started reading slashdot the phrase "Information wants to be free" was widely accepted here as an absolute truth. Of course it's not, and it's corny as hell, but man! the pendulum has sure swung the other way.
I sure hope no Libertarians are defending Apple, because this guy signed no contract saying he wouldn't disclose things about apple, and now Apple is initiating force against him for what he did.
If it were really okay to sue for things like this, you could easily entrap any reporter who pissed you off. Just have someone casually mention something juicy to him, and when he reports it, sue the pants off him. According to people like you anything can be a trade secret, and I can sue enyone for disclosing it, even if they had no idea that it was supposed to be secret. Am I alone in seeing that this is a very slippery slope that we really don't want to set foot on?

Incidentally, what lasting harm did seeing this porno site do to you, that its owners should risk five years in prison?
No, but they both suffer from clinical depression now that they know how boring their sex life is and how small his penis is.

You know it. "Bad" is a doubleplus ungood word. "Bad" can be used to criticize, and criticism is definitely doubleplus ungood.

At least with Slashdot, most of the comments are made by informed people.

As in "I'm Not Bruce Perens." As another post further down pleads, go assume another person's identity on a less involved forum.
Retarded like a fox! (to paraphrase Peter Griffon.) They post his crap for the same reason he writes it, the controversy generates page hits.
