If you're using the $100 Adaptec SATA RAID controller in your "mission-critical" server, I'm very critical of your mission. And, comparable performance - only if your MySQL does a lot of large sequential reads / writes. If it doing mostly small random writes, you're dreaming in Technicolor (TM), if you think performance will be the same.
And, why not spend the same amount of money on both setups? The extra $200 will probably get you a 256 GB SSD and possibly faster write performance although, as you pointed out, absolutely no redundancy.
You are in serious need of a fact check. King was very drunk but not at all high. He was likely enraged from being Tasered at least twice but there were more than enough cops present to subdue him without such a severe beating. The videotape doesn't show if the "lunge" was at an officer or if he was trying to get away. The riot was a disaster but the cops should count themselves lucky that it wasn't targeted more specifically at them - after all, they're not the only people on the street with guns in the US of A, right?
In a detailed listing of deaths during the riots, I could find neither cops nor National Guardsmen. It's worth pointing out that the riot may have been as much about the tension between Koreans and blacks in LA as about King's treatment at the hands ( and feet ) of LA's finest. I'm mystified as to why cops get the kid gloves treatment when soldiers don't. Can you imagine what would happen if US soldiers did something like that in Iraq?
In Canada, fraud is (used to be?) the responsibility of the bank, so it's very likely you'll get your money back in a reasonable amount of time. I've never had an issue with a bricks-and-mortar merchant that I couldn't resolve but I did have several ( all on the same Mastercard ) with online merchants. In every case, the credit card company either sided with the merchant or made me jump through so many hoops that it wasn't worth it. I don't deal with them anymore.
BTW, if that's your definition of "coward", you need a new dictionary.
You named your ass Insightful? Or is it really the source of your insight? That would explain many of the Anonymous Coward postings I've seen over the years.

I doubt that the multi window is hard-coded or difficult to change. It was quite a few years ago that a single person modified the Gimp's interface on Windows to be a clone of Photoshop and produced Gimpshop, which was a single window.
The current Western Hemisphere is the result of an invasion and genocide of the New World by European powers. Is that more legitimate than purportedly illegal immigration?
I'm hoping to see something like Joanna Rutkowska's Qubes come to fruition - http://qubes-os.org/Architecture.html. It allows the creation of lightweight VMs to run a specific app. Much more useful, if it's as quick as she claims. It's Linux-based for the moment.
I have an interesting mobo - I wonder if it still boots. It's a 486 with PCI slots ( not too many of those were made, IIRC ) and a WinBios GUI with mouse support. Worked quite well. Must look for it soon
I haven't used Adobe Reader on my machines in a couple years due to all the security issues. Sumatra is probably closest to what you are looking for but I've used both Foxit and PDF X-change ( for full PDF support ) for quite some time without any problems, although PDF X-change sometimes ramps up the memory usage inexplicably ( not a concern on when you have 8GB RAM ).
The nice thing about Foxit and X-change is that they support tabs, can automatically re-open all the PDFs you were reading and take you right back to the page(s) you were on.
We recently found out that our provider, a cable company, has been doing the same when they issued us a report on a recent outage that blamed damage on - i swear this is the truth - "SQUIRREL CHEW".
Perhaps they should not use the peanut-flavored cladding next time.
Save your crticisms for the fucking stupid legislators who thought up this stupid law. By they way, did you notice that this is a broadening of the use of premeditation to cover burglary. I can only find references to premeditated MURDER, which, by the way, can be as short as mere seconds in some instances.
Do your own research before you start bashing someone else, AC.
As for the side-opening doors being better in a rollover, that seems like a valid point. I suppose that could be addressed by having those large windows be detachable. Although, with the massive increase in size of the average American since the '70s, that probably wouldn't be enough.
You're missing the point. By destroying this or not letting it be produced in the US, it allowed for innovation to be almost entirely to go to the European or Japanese manufacturers Notice that the options you provided didn't include any from a US manufacturer. Which "rig from the '70s" would pass any modern emissions test?
And the giant bumpers quip is also a red herring - there were a dozens of wide, long and difficult to park cars back in the '70s. Did none of their owners eat Chinese restaurant food?
Perhaps they'll consider buying S3 - even that would be an improvement on the GMA. Or, perhaps, Matrox - that would actually be cool if they include multi-head as standard.
We've lived with multiple codecs for a long time and firmware can / should be updateable. Although I've been on broadband for 11 years, thanks to the area I live in, my speed is lower now that it was 5 years ago. The WebM spec for the Mux/Demux only states that the codec "should" be VP8 not "must be". In 5 years, I expect that, while there will still be "billions of customers" on slower connections, all the major browsers will allow dynamic installation of codecs or a fallback to embedding an external media player.
VP8 is not a perfect solution but it's a very good move - and it may force the opening of H.264.

Sad to say, your joke is flying over the heads of our fellow Slashdotters. And me without mod points.

It's can also be shown that people are more likely to lie when being questioned by the cops.
Should we not permit cops to conduct questioning?

"The weight of regulation"?? The average weight in 1976 was 4000 lbs. This was before every Tom, Dick and Harry owned an SUV.
