Actually, the problem I had with the MOBOs were wide spread, and I wasn't the only one having them. I spent nearly a week on the first one with HP trying to diagnose the problem, all the while they knew, or should have known, what the problem was.
So, count yourself lucky as you escaped the problem.
I've built 1.5 TB systems over a year ago, RAID for $1200. FULL including swappable drives, gig ethernet and plenty 2 GB of ram to cache the system. They are FAST and reliable. They worked FIRST TIME, and have worked exactly perfectly for 1.5 years. Drives fail, we have hot swaps available. While not quite 2 TB, they are also 1.5 years old now, and I'll be replacing them in another 1.5 years with bigger drive systems.
And these, will be spares and lower priority sytems when I update them with newer stuff in a year or two.
Expensive Technology for the sake of all that other stuff you listed is just silly. It is exactly why SUN doesn't get it, and why some pointy hair boss is buys the bs.
Production quality storage means that it works for the time needed. I've actually had WORSE reliability from Name brand "Server" quality stuff. We've got HP Proliant Servers in production, and at least THREE from three different lots have all failed due to MOBO Failures. While they do send out a tech to replace the MOBO, it is really really annoying to have to tell people that the server is down because the MOBO failed. And all the great diagnostic tools HP has on those servers didn't predict nor would they fix the errors.
You can build it 1/2 as much then you can easily have two on hand, in case one dies.
What good did Harvard Business School education do for creating a better, more predictable and stable market environment? Nothing. This is one of a million examples. PhD. == Tool.
No, PhD = Piled Higher n Deeper.
Similarly BS = Bull Stuff and MS = More Stuff
I learned this from a man with two master degrees, on in Engineering and one MBA. He was denied many jobs for being "over qualified" which he shared with me meant "smarter than those doing the hiring".
Because we don't care about other people. Poor people want to take money from you. They don't care about you. You want to keep your money from them. You don't care about them. And they apparently outnumber you. qq?
Two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner?
How come we're expected to take a 3% tax hike? How about a 3% welfare cut? How about freezing spending for two years. How about removing wasteful programs that don't do anything?
Why is it that everytime theirs a problem, it is "screw the people footing the bill" type of reaction.
oh, and how does one create a "tax cut" for people who don't pay any taxes? some 30-40% of the population pays no taxes, so the whole "95% tax cut" crap is just that... CRAP. He's either "lying" or creating more "welfare".
Either this country provides opportunity to succeed (not a guarantee), or it creates a system for everyone being the "same". Mediocrity is not success.
If we reward failure, punish success, it doesn't breed greatness. The problem isn't with the greatness, it is with those that seek to punish greatness for being "unfair".
Sorry, fairness is an illusion. It isn't "fair" that some are born blind, that is REALITY. It isn't fair that some are born poor, but again, that is REALITY.
The hardest lessons in life are the ones where we learn this life aint fair, and there is NOTHING anyone can do to make it "more fair" without hurting someone else.
Perhaps you all are fine and okay with that, but I'm not.
Liberalism is like the guy who found a cocoon about to open up, and butterfly emerge. The liberal wanted to "help" the poor struggling butterfly out of the cocoon...
Ashley Todd's story was reported when Fox believed it, and then virtually wiped off the network when it became clear it was a hoax. I'm really not finding any evidence any of the other networks acted that way.
You obviously didn't watch the same "FOX" news that I watched on this story. I didn't believe this girl's story even for a minute, and neither did the FOX people. They reported the story, yes, and they announced their incredulity at the "no camaras" catching a so called "attack" in a Bank parking lot. They reported that "no camaras" angle and had equal amounts of skepticism.
The funny thing is, I remember when a similiar "attack" happened to a university professor, every news agency reported it with glee that a racist attack occured, proving how evil conservatives are, and when it was found out that it was also a hoax, they barely covered it (if at all).
The fact is, both sides do it! Anyone suggesting anything else is delusional.
Translation: You can only say what "the authorities" allow you to say.
You must be new here. Welcome to planet earth.
In case you don't know it, it is called "hate" speech, and Political Correctness, and a whole slew of other terms used to quash speech officially.
Kill someone one penalty, kill someone screeming racial epithets and it is another penalty, unless the murderer is a racial minority, then it is ignored.
Given that in WW2 we were fighting against right wing ideology
Keep repeating that and keep showing your ignorance. Nazi's were socialists...
Nationalsozialist
You obviously don't know what a "right" or "left" wing is. The ultra right are.... anarchists. Ultra left are government solutions to every problem under the sun.
The Democrat party of today has more in common with Nazis than the Republican party, though not by much.
Because FUCK is vulgar, frak is made up, and fudge is... yummy. There really is no substituting for "fuck", as frak seems "silly" and fudge seems lame.
And yes, nobody is fooled (which is your point, right), except those who've never heard "fuck" before.
I'm not saying it is right (or wrong), just what it is.
One term has a connotation of vulgarity (Fuck) and one term is not (Copulate). It has to do with connotation rather than the specifics.
Prostitute and Whore essentially mean the same thing, but each has other connotations associated with it.
People who don't know, or understand the power of words and equate them are doing a disservice to the uses of vocabulary.
In a previous post, it was pointed out how the word "fuck" has many meanings beyond just the vulgar form of "copulate".
Here's the big test... if Fuck and Copulate mean the exact same thing, simply substitute the acceptable form for the vulgar one.
The moment you realize that it doesn't mean the same thing, you realize why one is acceptable and the other isn't in certain contexts.
I find the use of Fuck (and other words) less offensive and more telling that someone doesn't have the vocabulary or skill to properly articulate what they mean.
I'm eagerly looking for the all porn public broadcast channel, brought to you by K-Y Jelly and Trojan Condoms. Partial underwriting by Planned Parenthood, and grants from the Hugh Heffner Foundation.

I could build a setup that would be way more powerful and less costly and more storage for way less.
What kind of drugs are these people on? two TB for 10K ???? ARE YOU NUTS SUN????
I could probably build this using SSD for less. SHEESH
Which reminds me, cannibals don't eat clowns ... they taste funny.

I'm not a Republican. Nice try though. If you read I called them socialists too. AND they are.

I contracted a guy once that offered to work for pizza and beer. He quit working even though I tried to pay him with pizza and beer.
Not my fault he wasn't specific about what kind of pizza or beer.
You just missed the short bus. You'll have to wait for the next one ... it will be by in about 15 minutes.
I don't know about that. This was the show that introduced America to the "Venus Butterfly"
Reminds me of an old (yes I'm dating myself) LA Law episode that was explaining a photograph of a man and mistress in a particular sexual act.

It didn't fool anyone about anything, but they were obviously censored from saying it.

I'm sorry, I want my money and not be bombarded with ads to pay for fancy ATM machines that can display ads.
I'll stopp using ATMs when the Ads machines are universal, and started to use REAL Tellers.

If better solar *does* come out, you won't HAVE "to replace the existing before the payback period."
And you just proved you have no idea what a "sunk cost is" or how to properly account for it in making long term decisions.
That and you obviously didn't notice where the payback is 10 (ten) years out here ....
Right now, solar is about Ten Years for payback, and a life span of about ... twenty.
when you said this ...
If your 4-8 year range is right, then just wait 2-6 years for the payback
You're short about 6-8 years on payback.
Exactly!
Or, leave it .... you know .... BLANK! (is that the cowboyneal choice?)
