I have one more disk, it's my primary backup drive. Raid 10 would only give me a copy, would not give me a history with versions of documents. I preferred 3 disks in raid 0 conf. and 1 disk for TimeMachine backups over a Raid 10 config.
No, Appel has got way to many windows switchers, It's they. There are more switchers now than real mac users. Man I hate this, they crippled OSX heavily lately.
First filename extensions. What redicilous stuff is that, we got away with it in 1983. Now bringing that silly MS DOS way of doing it to Macs with OSX. Then in OSX 10.6 they stopped honoring creator tags for file association. And now this Windows 2.0 reinvented with maximized windows.
Apple Invented overlapping windows (hmm did they? at least they made it mainstream) Now Apple with this is Going Windows 2.0
Man I hate maximized windows in Windows, I just blody hate them. It's so inefficient that anything can be. We old mac users multitask, not single task. Meh this is the worst idea in a long time, well, since OSX 10.6 stop honoring creator tags for file associations.
Hey all you who think about switching from windows to mac pls, don't. Apple listens to it's users and they keep making it to Windows. Meh I hate it.
Hey, with this I can get rid of the dock or populate it with commonly accessed documents instead for Applications.
I've never really liked the dock, I preferred the old MacOS way a menu in top right. Maybe we finally can see some good UI designing again from Apple. The Dock was a disaster, pulling them back to pre 1983.
Why would it, you could instead of having one spare in same 1u raid, you could load balance and have them to be exact copies of each other. When one dies, which Already have built in 2 disk RAID1 you simply swap it out with the third you had there in a package. No downtime what so ever, only maybe noticeable effect would have been that response times would have gone down.
Meh, people without imagination, where is the world going.
Well did you rtfm? As e.g. I had such problems until I started reading up how it's actually done in OSX. Can du anything from the CLI, but you need to know your system. If it works in Linux, don't be so sure that all *nixes and Unixes behave the same. Apples MacOSX certainly doesn't.
But then, I have no idea what you tried to do so really I could be only BSing here. But in my experience it works but you need to read up. And nowadays I prefer the OSX way. Earlier I was ripping my head of trying to figure it out.
XServers where cost competitive, when they where released. They had some success with them. But Server Admins are a pack of ignorant douche bags who never dares to look out of the box. Well I don't blame them they are used to troublesome servers with Windows and less friendly Unix servers.
So cost competitiveness, wasn't Apples problem they tried that. When the XServer and XRaid came they gave most Bang for the buck. Did anyone buy them? Yeah Virginia Tech built a Super Computer of them, ranked #3 on Top 500 supercomputer lists. And did it with a record low budget. But who else dared to take that step?
Mac users are quite well backed up, with version history even. Check the versions feature coming seamlessly integrated to OSX lion. Well I guess u need backups activated for that one.
You should go and buy a mac and check how seamlessly we mac users do backups. True, a fire might just take it all, but I have uptodate backups which goes back to oktober 17, 2010. That is monthly, weekly, daily, hourly backups. Not just a backup I copied once and hope I have left.
BTW, I do also have RAID. But not 1 or 5 as you might want me to, I run 3 disks in Raid 0 config for speed.
Well I know I should have a backup stored in "the cloud" to be fire safe. But somehow I'm not too keen on storing my data onto some corporations servers, like Google or Apple. Hmm, should set up a server at my grandpa's place. Just to make backups, he's 80 km from where I live so a fire would probably not be at both places at the same time.
Well, we used to have 3 bondi blue iMacs, running 2 DNS servers, 2 Web Server, Mail server, 4D database, and filemaker database.
And af few Apple Scripts for automating picture management.
That was before PHP4, and other scripting systems that today manipulate graphics directly. Did stuff that 5 years ahead of similar stuff started to be available mainstream by other techniques. Btw it was Photoshop that did all the picture manipulation.
Only thing that didn't really work well with the set up where the Web servers. One was a application that run Apache, basically linux emulation Web ten. And the other was the 4D integrated web server. But back then we needed both 4D and Applescript to do what we did.
But this is more than 10 year old stuff, today there would be better solutions.
Yep, and particularly the latter one is where it fails most. Rules and self control can be easier to maintain. But common sense is the biggest failure. Or is it that sense isn't that common anymore?
Well Adobe hasn't been a company that has delivered quality for many years. E.g. last good Illustrator was version 7, or maybe 8(which I never used).
Some of the crap they made wasn't sorted until CS3. That is v.9, 10, 11, and 12 that was a pain. FYI I've used the Adobe applications on Windows after that time. So the quality issue is not only on the Apple platform. It's the same issue as we have with Adobe Flash.
Well it's been a while, but in 2006 It was hard to find places that would accept my Visa in both Germany and Austria. Poland where I thought I would run into problems I had no issues in. Neither in Czech. Both countries that I believed could give me trouble, I didn't expect Germany and Austria to be one of them.
An other problem I had was road signs but that I could solve with a local map. But I had Euro road numbers with me in GPS software. Which worked in well. But in Germany I had to buy a local map to translate the road numbers. But that that is now almost 5 years ago. Czech was the most updated country of the 4 I traveled in.
inside germany i meant or austria for that matter.
Well next time travel trough EU i will not only avoid France, but the german speaking countries too. That is my lesson learned. Avoiding france is though of very different reasons.

What is a cat?
Mod parent insightful
That is cheap compared with other religions where shipping an product would give you more probably a 30% cut instead of 70%.
So even if Apples cut is large, the developers cut is larger than they usually get with any other distribution channel.

Mine has, n I'm a Mac user. I'm I suddenly allowed in to the nerd group?
Well no I don't date, I'm married.
Ow they doo?
I just today configured 1 Server and 2 workstations from Lenovo. None of them had RAID, neither redundant PSUs.
I've should have scored u troll but preferred posting.
Hmm doesn't work?

No it doesn't forbid it to run in a VM. But forbids on running an any other than Apple Hardware.
Buy the Apple Hardware, install the linux or windows host system if your crazy enough and run OSX virtually.

Exactly why all the nice Server features of OSX is now incorporated in the client version.
Hey that is really cheap Server software compared with Windows Server whatever.
Same with the rack mounted server, fire takes it all.
But you can still rack it if you want , and get load balancing in a 1U form factor.
