  1. Hard Drives on What's the Oldest Technology You've Used In a Production Environment? · · Score: 1

    Because they're still being made.

  2. Apples and Oranges on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    At least in the US, most companies, out of fear of getting sued, will only confirm dates of employment. Giving a 2-week notice is a really professional courtesy to your fellow coworkers, to facilitate any transition of work.

  3. Bazinga on Quantum Measurements Leave Schrödinger's Cat Alive · · Score: 1, Funny

    You're welcome.

  4. End-to-End Protection on Do Car Safety Problems Come From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.03/03-224r0.pdf Storage systems have standards in place where every data path is protected by CRC to ensure data integrity. Short of keeping cost low, there should be no reason not to implement something similar to automotive applications.

  5. Re:How much free speech do you need at aged 6? on Sergey Brin On Google and China · · Score: 1

    Wait. You have a girlfriend? I thought this is slashdot.

  6. It's the Enclosure on Why Not To Shout At Your Disk Array · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, partly at least. It's no secret that disk drives are sensitive to vibration as this video showed an extreme case. Keep in mind, since disk drives are spinning at 7200-15000RPM, they themselves create vibration that can affect adjacent drives. The drive enclosure can help reduce the problem with use of shock absorbers and vibration dampeners. Most drive enclosures nowadays, for cost reasons, are no more than just sheet metal wrapped around power supplies, fans and drives, which contribute to the problem.
