If you are relying on getting a fast replacement disk from *ANY* vendor to assure that you don't suffer data loss from disk failures then you are doomed from the get go. Your array needs to have a sufficient number of global hot spares to automatically replace any failed disk. At which point the four hour response time is not actually worth it (do you really want to get up a 03:00 on Christmas Day to replace a disk?) and next day is just fine.
The reality is that all the cool features of a NetApp are not really worth it, because they can be replaced at a fraction of the cost with cheaper conventional disk. Now I need to get back to setting up the extra 180TB of conventional disk we have just purchased.
According to the wikipedia article fraud nullifies that at least in the state of Victoria. They used a forged title dead (abait unknowinglly though it matters not) to get the transfer registered. Hence they fraudulantly transfered the title, and in Victoria it would be null and void. I am going to assume that it is similar in Western Austriala, but I have not evidence that it is.
In addition I think you will find that the main business of Naxos is audiobooks. They take a book out of copyright, and then pay an actor to do a reading of it before releasing it on CD. The classical music is a side line.
I have a substantial collection of Naxos audiobooks on CD.
It is not hard to fire someone in the UK, you just have to have a procedure for doing so in the first place, which must be fair and follow the law and then you MUST FOLLOW IT.
The problem is that HR departments don't like following the procedure. I know of cases where the HR department have rung their solicitors, had them write out a procedure on how to get rid of someone and stay the right side of the law, to promptly ignore it and just fire them. Consequently they loose in the employment tribunal.
If you follow the proper procedure it is easy enough to get rid of someone even in the UK.
Possibly, but the 800lbs (or 362kg for the rest of the world) Gorilla in the classical music production arena is Deutsches Grammophone, who sell pretty much their entire back catalogue in DRM free flac.
That's all right then, because a bit of Slashdot publicity has pushed the funding to close to $26,000 as I type, which is twice what they where looking for.
In the United Kingdom even a signed confession is insufficient to get a conviction. There *MUST* be other corrborating evidence. Unfortuantely people with learning disabilities and other problems have in the past confessed to crimes right up to murder when they where in fact innocent, in the process leaving dangerous criminals roaming free.
What are you going to do in less than four years time when XP support is completely removed by Microsoft then? I would suggest that having all internal web applications not be tied to a specific version of Windows and/or IE would be a good starting point in planning your migration from XP.
If you bury your head in the sand then in three years time there will be a major panic and you will have to do something.
Really last time I checked the list price for a 1TB SATA drive for an IBM DS4000/5000 series storage array was 1500GBP at a time when a 1TB SAS drive was around 120GBP.
That said 30USD per GB per month is outrageous price gouging.
Any X-ray imagining protocol is associated with an increased risk of cancer in everyone. From memory I belive it is around 1 extra death per 1.3 million chest X-rays for example.
The RSA patent was not a worthy patent. It failed the obvious to someone skilled in the arts test due to the fact that it had been previously discovered at GCHQ some years previous. Clearly someone with the right mathematical skills and into cryptography could work it out without problem. The whole concepty had been previously publicaly published by someone who lacked the mathematical skills to provide a working solution.
It really bugs me when people claim that the RSA patent was worthy as it shows a lack of knowledge of the issue.
The problem with this is that the chicken is a cross between a Red Junglefowl and a Grey Junglefowl. As both these birds lay eggs, it is quite clear that the egg came *before* the chicken. Clearly while this is the technically correct answer that is beyond doubt to the possed question, it does not answer the wider question that was being posed.
However even if you where to widen the question to which came first the bird or the egg, you would still get the same answer as eggs predate birds by some considerable time in the fossil record.
You have the idea right, but what you want to do is automate the process. For example why should say a Brazilian keyboard layout or a driver for a printer I don't own be on fast disk just because it happens to be part of the OS? Why does the word document I am working on today get to be on slow disk?
That is you have some fast disk that new stuff gets written to, and then after a period of time if it is not accessed it gets moved to slower disk. You can even add in an extra layer so stuff that has not been used for a long period of time is moved to tape. If I access the file on tape, I want it to come back automatically, and if I start using that word document I wrote last year, I want it to come back to fast disk.
All the major storage vendors are introducing block based storage tiering to their line up as we speak. The other option is to build into the file system like IBM's GPFS so you can have more control to begin with, such as forcing all ISO images onto slow storage from the get go, along with all those MP3's. You also get the option of tape here as well which you don't get with block based tiering.
It is one of the reasons why ZFS simply does not cut the mustard. If a file system does not have storage tiering then it sucks; period. Of course the fan boys who think ZFS is the greatest thing since sliced bread just don't have a clue about enterprise storage of course.
No the MSF signal is now broadcast from Cumbria, and last time I checked that was not in Scotland. Admittedly it is now not far form Scotland being just over the Solway Firth, but it is still in England.
Note that you can combine a MSF clock with a GPS clock to get redundancy. Heck in Northern Europe you can can throw in DCF77 and HBG and TDF as well. Those in North America can use WWVB and in Japan there is JJY40 and JJY60 as well. The suggestion with NTP is to have at least three time sources.
There is also Galileo coming online that will give time just as good as GPS and of course there is the Russian GLONASS system as well. I believe China has a global system in the works as well, so that will be four global atomic time signals.
The advantage of long wave time signals however is that you can pick them up in the middle of a building, something not possible with GPS.
That is one seriously neat piece of hardware which also belies the entire premises of this article. Clearly if you are willing to pay there is still good quality hardware out there.
I have got an even better way to save money, loads of it. Hang your washing out on a clothes line. Not only does it save money, the clothes feel nicer to wear, last longer and you are less likely to have a fire.
Perhaps, but you have to remember the Iceland is in hock to the tune of billions of Euros to the United Kindgom in particular. They are only surviving because the markets are expecting them to join the EU. Failure to do so will make Greece look like a nice holiday.
Well given that we in the United Kingdom invented the game, then we in the United Kingdom do indeed have standing to say that you should celebrate *OUR* game in a fashion that *WE* approve of:-)
You do realize that continued play after the whistle is blown can lead to a booking?
If the goal keeper cannot organize his line for a free kick due to the noise, is that interfering with the game?
If the players cannot call out to one another as in normal everywhere else in the world is that interfering with the game?
Frankly if the players say it is interfering with their ability to play the game it is interfering with the game, and neither you or I are have any standing to argue with them.
What illegal war would that be? The second Iraq one? Sorry to inform you but the first one never finished, there was only a cease fire agreement. Absolutely everyone is in agreement that Saddam Hussein was in breach of that cease fire agreement, which means that reopening hostilities is er perfectly legal.

How does this compare to the FSF sponsered Gnash then?

What strikes me as odd is that the statute of limitations did not kick in, or perhaps this is why the damages are limited to post 2002.
No it does not.

Well I am in the UK as well, and have been given dirty looks for holding doors open in the past. I am now selective as to who I hold them open for.
