If you're using hardware RAID or pseudo-hardware RAID (i.e. Promise FastTrack), then it should just be a matter of entering into the RAID controller's setup utility during bootup and tell it to add the second drive into the RAID array and it's seamless.
I'm not familiar enough with Linux's LVM or other software-RAID to know how to do it that way, but I'm sure there are utilities that allow you add disks to unmounted RAID arrays fairly easily. Let me search Google.....
....OK, I'm back (that was pretty quick). Here's [unthought.net] exactly what you're looking for.
No, it's not. That presupposes you already have a RAID set up. And first poster, there's no hardware RAID controller (sorry, I implied that, but didn't say that).
Okay, troll. I normally don't read down at these depths, but since I had mod points which I'm now not going to use in this thread...
Riddle me this, asswipe. I have a hard drive in a computer. Let's say it's running Linux. Let's say I get another hard drive and I want to make it RAID 1 (mirrored) with the first drive. It's a 30 second operation in OS X, a 30 second operation in NT, a 60 second option in Win2k (gotta make it dynamic first).
How long will this operation take in Linux? Yes, you can use all three mouse buttons, and no, I don't have a backup....
I wish these were incorporated into linux more. I don't care what anyone says, comparing windows and linux on the same machine has always shown to ME that windows seems a lot faster. Applications take longer to load in linux. Mozilla for example, takes longer to load than it did in windows on the same computer. Other applications that I can't compare directly seem to take a while when they're just small apps.
That's actually a good point. My linux box (mdk 9.2 with the updates needed to run a 2.6 kernel) got upgraded from from a Celeron 300 to a 2.8ghz Xeon (and from IDE to mirrored SCSIs)...and application launching still sucks rocks, especially Mozilla. Perceptually, my Mac (dual G4 450 running 10.3.4) blows it out of the water. The Xeon has lame video (Rage+ or something like that vs a Radeon 9000, but it's a server), but that won't affect launch times or 2d stuff like window drawing. Faster processor and disks didn't do too much to improve my linux experience.
Did I not talk about Linux and Windows optimisations based on the range of hardware both need to support? Does that not in itself reveal to your blinkered "Mac-only" perceptions that I have experience of more than just Linux?
Instead of trolling and snapping anonymously from your dark little corner, how about you come out into the light and argue intelligently?
Fine, I will.
On Linux (which is the OS I most love and use incidentally), there are several hundred kernel options that span the range of hardware that Linux supports - therefore, knowing your way around those, as well as knowing the best drivers to use, best graphics options in, say, xf86config, the best compiler options in GCC, etc, etc, all contribute to the speed of the system - caching and dynamic defragmentation is just a small part of that.
Your original point holds up only if you build a monolithic kernel with every driver built in. Otherwise, Linux will just load the modules it needs for the hardware and stuff it uses...same as OS X and its kernel extensions. It doesn't matter how many are available; it's optimising what you're actually using. You need to compare oranges to oranges. Also, I'm sure Apple compiles with the best gcc options, too, but that's reallly outside of the scope of the article and the discussion.
This sounds like Microsoft is gearing up to go after OSX, which uses the long click to emulate a two button mouse.
My hazy memory says the original Netscape is the prior art for holding down the mouse and then getting a contextual/different action depending on the duration.
The 1st generation will have the code hidden and can be enabled. The 2nd and subsequent generations will have the code removed. So, enjoy it while you can; buy 'em while you can!:-)
Will this end the fear of DRM'd BIOS? With the source available then any additions added to the bios can be reversed. I wonder if Intel is countering something in regards to statements made by Microsoft and Sun saying that hardware will be free?
Err, that just meant that the end user wouldn't be paying directly for the hardware, just indirectly. Someone will still be writing a check to Intel for all of their components. I can't see how Intel would look on that other than favorably. That would actually mean that more hardware would get sold because boxes wouldn't be multi-purposed.
It's like the difference between a kid who cleans his room with Mom pulling him by the ear every step of the way and a kid who cleans his room without being asked -- the actions are identical, but only the latter deserves the slightest bit of respect.
Okay, so we're both saying that it's functionally no different between the two. To me, the fact that one is grudging is rather immaterial: John Doe warrants are John Doe warrants. So, unless one is a hypocrite, one can't oppose what the RIAA is doing and approve of what the anti-spammers are doing...since they're both operating within the legal framework. I suppose the converse is also true of supporting what the RIAA is doing and opposing the anti-spammers, but I don't think we'd find too many people taking that position whose name doesn't end with Ralsky.:-) (Good analogy, btw.)
Because the RIAA fights tooth and nail against being held to antiquated legal concepts like having to prove that somebody is a violator before having his anonymity breached, as opposed to the illegal spam investigators who are willing to work within the rule of law set forth by the Constitution.
Huh? Where did you pull that distinction from?
You either have "x shared this music from this IP address at this time: Who was it?" or "x sent this spam from this IP address at this time. Who was it?"
By filing lawsuits known as "John Doe" suits, in which the identity of the defendant is not known, Internet providers are able to subpoena records from banks and others to determine the identity of spammers.
Someone tell me how this is different than what the RIAA has been trying to do with the ISPs getting John Doe warrants to find out who's behind the P2P violations?
Is that the whole script? If so then I'd say no, it's not easy to follow. It looks like you're setting some variables (n,u) in the first section, but you never seem to use them anywhere. I also don't see anything setting the s variable you're using as your subject.
Good catch.:-) After I pasted it into slashdot's editor, I changed the variable u to n (to be a mnemonic for name and make it a touch easier) but didn't change the second instance. I saw that after I posted and was waiting for the first sharp-eyed person to comment.
Never read the flame war did you? The whole "Linux is obsolete" thing? He kicked off a flame war and wouldn't let it stop. Not such a hero for me.
And someone modded this flamebait. How funny. No, Tannenbaum should be lauded because while he had such public (well, if usenet back then was public) philosophical agreements, he could rise above them. It would have been easy to not have been Linus' defender, or to not be in a such a public way.
Where the 'get what you pay for' works in open source is on the big scale. -Open source users can be divided into three functional groups: developers of open source - they pay with code, in a barter arrangement. -People who buy it and / or support for it - businesses, consumers that buy boxed sets. -Freeloaders. They don't contribute, but only post on Slashdot.
Wait, so you're saying to fit into slashdot I need to buy my Linux and steal my music instead of the other way around?
Slashdot Mirror
Depends.

Faster processor and disks didn't do too much to improve my linux experience.
Err, in fairness, I should have said that for mail (postfix and mailman), dns (bind) and web serving (apache 2) the new box rocks.

How about you read my original post again?

Simple as that...some things you CAN take with you!

Everything else is just a pale imitation/ripoff.

I don't see any difference any at all.

So Xfree has grown out of it's usefulness and like any rudiments in evolutionary process, it must wither away.
But what if it doesn't hand there's a horrible schism between the two and disto x supports one and distro y supports the other? That's gonna get ugly.

Good catch.
Powerful, useful and uses almost nouns and verbs. If she doesn't have a Mac, this would be a great excuse to get one.
For instance, here's a quickie script to mail a URL from my desktop machine from my PowerBook:
tell application "Safari"
tell window 1
set n to name
end tell
tell document 1
set u to URL
end tell
end tell
tell application "Mailsmith" of machine "eppc://GreyGhost.local"
make new message window with properties {subject:s, contents:""}
end tell
Easy to follow, yes? You get go from the barebones simplistic (like above) to highly involved workflow solutions.
A Chinese engineer costs one-sixth of an American engineer.
Not cloaking outsourcing in any other clothes other than cost to try and make it more palatable....
Travel with a girl. They'll never identify you as a geek then!
3. She only sued after McDonalds offered her $800 to reimburse her for her $20,000 legal bills.
Eh? She hire temporal lawyers that charge before they're hired?
They were called permissive, right? Lived up to the name.
It's time for the summer reruns!!!

Whatever, this is called pillory and comes straight out of the middle ages!
Hey, great idea! Maybe bring back stocks in the public square for the P2P offenders.
...would NEVER do that.
Besides, if they do try that, their competitors won't.
