Samsung I believe, I would have to pull one to see, but don't really want to cause a rebuild of the array. When we inquired of the server vendor about the issue we were having, we were told we would have to replace all of them as the RAID card no longer supports these drives due to the problem we are having.
Sucks when your vendor suggests replacing 10k worth of drives (per server X 4) with 15k worth of drives...
I gave two duty cycle example one of which is in reality 4 servers, I can't give more of a range as they are still too expensive to use everywhere that would benefit from their use.
and the WD Raptor is considered an Enterprise hard drive, so that should say something about the reliability expected. I don't see these drives failing any time soon, and I have a Intel x-25m 32GB I bought a little over a year ago running quite strong with no errors in my desktop that rarely is shutdown.
The only reliability problems I have seen is in MLC based drives we use here at work for database servers, they go offline and have to be reseated in order to bring them back, but we haven't had any of these fail yet even under the heavy strain of a database server.
It is believed that the settlement was founded around the 6th century by Focko, a Bavarian nobleman. The existence of the village was documented for the first time in 1070 and historical records show that some twenty years later the lord was Adalpertus de Fucingin.
Can you imagine the coolness of being the Lord of Fucking?
So is it your opinion that confused customers will be contacting the 'God Squad' for help with breaking their computers?
You should always write it as above, all us true geeks know that no geek works for geek squad. I have never heard of them doing anything other then reinstalling the OS for every problem.
I believe there is also an exception to a different line of business. It would be quite a stretch to say this religious man is any way trying to claim to work on breaking computers. Just as Apple Records was unable to win out against Apple Computers because Apple Computers was not in the music business, Best Buy is in the overcharging and breaking computers business, and this guy is in the religious business. Unless Best Buy is looking at expanding into religion...God help us all...
My parents had a Siberian Husky/Chow cross, and he Chirped more then barked, I suppose that came from the Chow side? Quite an annoying noise that goes right through your head.
I second the National Electronics Museum, it is a very interesting museum with some very cool displays. My kids love to play with the IR camera setup there.
The problems that killed the 5.25 were power draw and speed. Nowadays, I would expect that the power draw would be lowered due to the use of plastic substrate with a film of metal rather then the old time solid metal platters, as well as the speed isn't such a big deal, just throw a huge buffer on it, or SSD buffer and you are all set. I could definitely deal with a 20TB 5.25, or 40TB Full height 5.25. The hard drives in my home computer already take up that space anyways:
I actually still have a Full Height Seagate drive, SCSI, 47GB, it takes about 5 minutes to spin up, but had enormous space for the time period. Unfortunately, a capacitor fell off of it, and I haven't had the motivation to fix it as I have so much storage on all my machines.
Part of the reason you don't need to support Palm, Android and Windows is that they all work directly with Exchange. iPhone also does this, so I can't imagine what you would need to do to allow it to work, and Blackberry needs a BES, whether that be at the carrier or on your premises.
At my office, we have about 30%/30% iPhone/Blackberry, and about 20% Android with the remaining running random "dumb" phones. I personally love my Storm, but can't wait to replace it for a HTC Incredible as the touchscreen has started having issues.
At that point, you are then talking about generators, which effectively last forever. This is a government agency, not a small business. With the draw of a set of 3800 routers, 2 ASA 5800 routers 48 ports of PoE, 48 ports of Gigabit, our 5k UPS lasts an effective 2 hours. I hardly expect it to take that long to start up a generator, even if there are problems.
Except, he was talking about the cost of the cellular connection to the Kindle, which costs Amazon money, and is paid for out of the cost of the ebook.
Unfortunately, from what I have read, authors receive the effective royalty of 1 book from all the ebook sales. This is crazy, but as there is one original copy, this is how the publishers feel it should be handled.
Ever heard of redundant power? Many Cisco routers have two power supplies, you run one to a UPS, and the other to wall, or another UPS. Routers don't generally take massive amounts of power to run.
Go back to the page again, you see at the top right hand corner there is a little button with a life ring picture on it, it says "Help"? Try clicking that and reporting the problem there. You might get better results then posting your question here where the developers are unlikely to respond.
I popped into this thread to say much the same. It doesn't matter that I can use my DVD burner or BD burner for legitimate uses as it is costing the movie companies so much in lost revenue due to some people using them to copy movies, we should fine all the companies making burners...

Yeah...I am sure that you have looked at the reliability numbers...like ever...
Intel x-25m reliability: http://download.intel.com/design/flash/nand/mainstream/mainstream-sata-ssd-datasheet.pdf
BER (read error rate) of 1 sector per 10^15 bits read
MTBF 1,200,000 hours
Minimum 5 years useful life
WD Raptor Reliability: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=495
MTBF 1,400,000 hours
Other figures not given

Family means never having to explain the albino midget you keep in the closet.

I would say feature phones would fall under the "dumb" phone category, as they aren't called smart phones, so they must be dumb :)

Heck, they even take up three slots.

Yes, the government charges taxes on Cell and Landline phone lines
From my most recent Verizon Bill:
Service 101.98 .16 .83
Taxes 1 2.06
Fed Universal Service charge 1.07
Regulatory Charge
Administrative Charge
Taxes 2 3.72 (sales tax)
So I am paying $4.95 in taxes, and .83 for Verizon to collect this money.

Wow, you must have had a bad Dell experience to get so fired up you can't even type straight.

I was curious why the DOJ was writing anything about the "Assistant District Attorneys" at all...until it started talking about disabilities...
MySQL is just as much an OS solution today as it was last year.
I think that would be 0%, since MySQL is not an operating system.
