These guys have a little more to worry about than redundancy... The two cheap ATX supplies in each box are split between the drives. So if one of the two supplies dies, the whole thing goes down. How's that for MTBF?
The iPhone (and iPod Touch) seemed to have a significant number of third-party apps already available at launch, so marketshare can't explain it all away.
Huh? It took seven months from launch for Apple to make an SDK available, and a full year before the App Store was opened. Google had phones and SDKs in developers' hands long before the G1 launch.
Oh, so you mean the grid power provided by a plant 300 miles away that's built and maintained by power-plant engineers, electricians, and A/C maintenance folks with control systems monitored by sysadmins?
The difference is that Apple wants a cut of every app sold for this platform and absolute control over everything that runs on it. Allowing anything not filtered through their review and sales process to execute on the phone, even in a sandboxed, virtualized environment, screws up their business model. And you know how companies get when you present a threat to their business model.
I bought a pair of Etymotic ER6i IEM earphones four years ago and I still consider it one of the best purchases I've ever made. I got them originally so I could listen to my own music at the gym without having the stuff they play there bleed in. They worked so well that I now use them in my cube or occasionally in noisy environments like our lab.
Get a matte screen monitor and some earplugs or IEMs with good isolation. You know you're doing it right when coworkers have to tap you on the shoulder to get your attention.
According to one of the mass storage maintainers, the message was to inform users that the kernel sometimes got angry if you hot-unplugged USB devices. It had nothing to do with integrity of data written to a disk.
Besides, you should be verifying your backup media after you write to it. md5sums is your pal.
Modern laptop batteries contain a fuel gauge chip that monitors and logs capacity, number of cycles, and health among other things. There are tools out there for most OSes to let you read all of this info out. Right now I'm looking at my laptop battery under Linux (cat/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent) and I can see that over its lifetime the capacity has dropped from 88W/h to just under 58W/h.
If my four year old HP has this feature, then I'm sure that a multi-kW electric car pack can be made to do the same.
In the '70s it was more practical to have satellites retransmit a raw signal than to have them decrypt on receive and encrypt on transmit. This system is easily exploited. Where's my mind control signal deflector beanie?

I was watching Matrix Reloaded last night and I realized that they probably won't make movies like that again.
And that's a bad thing because...?
No, that's not Who.
Real sysadmins never have to leave the house. Engineers & maintenance folk aren't usually so lucky.

So those computers that run those services are powered and cooled by unicorn flatulence, right?
Only if that synergy is leveraged through customer-focused AJAX on Arduino. Aeron chairs for everyone!
I meant "NiCd batteries."
I had no problem opening up a Norelco to solder in new NiC. Coincidentally, I also did the same to a couple of Panasonic shavers.

That's a much better acronym than the originally proposed Protocol for Automated National Identification and Control.
Last I heard he was working at Network 23.
Well, at least we'll be distracted and entertained while we wait in lines.

RTFA. The water loss is because many data centers use evaporative cooling towers.
Convince the chicks to put the containers in the incinerator.
