Funny the French are cowards for not supporting the Iraq war. How unpatriotic and muslim loving...
But today seems like the French had a brain while the Americans were flying their flag singing patriotism under the scope of insane nationalism and didn't even realize they were manipulated.
I just went on Amazon. The red is $50 more than the black with the same capacity??!
All I know is the red are certified to be a good batch. The consumer?? You do not know if it is good or bad as Google had a team to know. You do not.
With SAS drives you have 2 data paths written and other enterprise level features in case a chip in the NAS goes out and a backup kicks in that the drive can keep going. Its firmware supports more protocols.
Sorry but the cost argument doesn't fly. To me it is not worth the risk and a $40 premium is a very small price to pay to know that when an outage hits the firmware doesn't lie about whether the data was written or not. Too much risk.
It is how much will an outage cost? A few hundred more is pocket change. A piece of mind too. You claim you hqve data? I have data too. Go google Seagate RMA? Shitty defective drives. Even western digital has bad drive batches. The poster above says seagate and consumer drives failed within his own eyes. Sure if you got a good batch you are good I guess?? Would you bet your job on it?
Firmware for enterprise drives have logging and more advanced features anyway. Same arguments pop up over consumer vs professional cards in flamewars. One is slightly slower and 4x as much. why? It's drivers and firmware are certified to not have visual distortions when making a commercial or bsod on a project. It is worth the cost.
The price difference is not worth it anyway
But the conversation is obsolete as intel and Samsung are introducing enterprise ssds
Also when people think of super massive black holes they think of violent, scary, life suckling masses. Compared to the smaller ones they are tamer as they have such a great surface area that stars near there can stay for away from the event horizon for billions of years due to subtripical force and the fact gas gets pulled from great distances
"The lazy" sinking to the bottom is a commonly-held belief, but in fact being at the bottom is a lot more work than being at the top. It's not because people are "lazy" that they remain at the bottom. It's because most of the value their work produces is taken as profit by their employers, and they are paid the absolute minimum that their employers can get away with. If they were getting a decent cut of the value they create, they wouldn't be poor. That's not to say that there aren't lazy people at the bottom living corruptly, but the claim that if you are at the bottom, you are lazy, is a fallacy.
Well why is it that we have illegals in the US crossing the border then? Why aren't Americans willing to do these jobs?
Yes they are lazy and I say this as one. They are unwilling to work or better themselves or keep a job long enough to have that resume to work out into a decent standard of lving.
A libertarian will argue the government created these monopolies in the 1st place. The solution then is not more government. But less where competitors can come in and compete.
No updating A will cause B to break. Turn off all Windows updates and freeze time march 2013. We will just hire more mcses to clean infections as they come as this is too critical to break etc.
One company a coworker interviewed hasn't ran an update in 5 years as it breaks some add on for exchange. They still run XP too???!
The more pain you make dependencies the greater to resistance to change. Look at IE 6 as an example?
The general theory is the early Jupiter or Saturn entered the sun. Reason being we have a lot of copper and lithium that should not be there. Another large body slammed it into the Sun.
Let's see sleep finally worked, NT swapamatic o (n) algorithm replaced, indexer which caused disk to swap for hours until baked removed and replaced with instant search, networking smb fixed and almost 5 faster without drops, wddm graphics with aero multitasks where before the hour glass circle would wait with multimedia was fixed, and many others. Vista certainly wasn't ready nor baked
I was chatting with a network contractor who came from a network solutions company. Just under half about 40% still cling to XP.
My inbox is flooded with jobs looking for XP to 7 migration experts. Most companies today look at IT as a cost and not an asset as it adds no value to the bottom line
Dude my inbox is flooded with jobs for XP to Windows 7 migrations TODAY! They just started and in their eyes 7 is a brand new OS so why waste more money?
The fact that the fear of change starting with XP and still to this day many businesses which are smaller still using it with plans to change scare them.
Annual new releases though will drive them harder to Windows 7 more than any other time in computer history. It means businesses which take years to upgrade due to dozens if not hundreds of apps and ancient IE intranet sites will need staff that just upgrades and changes for the sake of changes year round!
Cost accountants and CIOs will not like annual upgrades
Let's say you own a business with 60 users in 2 locations? Does it make sense to blow 100,000 in an IT guy after taxes, Obama care, and other expenses, plus an additional 100,000 on servers and 50,000 on software?
Or go to office 365 and pay $900 a month and it just works?
In economics both the worker and customer benefits. If you need something done and you have people waiting then there is no time to wait fixing or developing a system.
The free market provides solutions such as a more reliable virtualize and office suite over free alternatives. Namely MS office and vmware workstation over Libre office and virtualbox. Windows just works.
My comment just made a few red in the face but it's true. I have money. I need things to work without workarounds. I need a resume formatted properly on someone elses comouter. I need Windows 10 and 6 different vms to just work without crashing. Clouds are great too.
If these were all sooo horrible and anti user then the free market would have bankrupted them. You are denying a programmer financial incentive to serve his customers and me and my boss to buy software which pays for itself.
It was mentioned in my accounting book when I was in school a half decade ago. SEC busted them. Try Googling that as it was one of the 2 soda makers at a wharehouse in Plano.
Private sector too whenever the sole and only focus is on metrics. Like how Pepsi loaded all their inventory on a truck moved it 1 foot then did an inventory count each quarter is a classic example.
Winforms emulate com underneath. I remember a long time ago there was dcom/com on Linux. Do no not know if it is still active or how well it integrates with Gnome or XFCE?
Problem is we excpect it to be like Java and just work across platforms. C# maybe started out as J++ as a set of apis for java, but it is not java anymore. It is not python either that has gui components and frameworks designed to be cross platforms. It is not PHP either which that has quirks which make running it on Linux far best to this day.
The compiler is free but in 2015 it is about including code. That code is win32 specific..NET would be great with gnome calls or even MacOSX specific ones. But it is not an all around 100% solution for java like cross platform compatibility. MS is discontinuing WPF anyway from what I read to focus on universal apps apis in Windows 10.
I believe Beagle was one such c# program for gnome that was successful back in the day but was all 100% gnome with no emulating win32 stuff in it.
Problem is let's say there is a bug that is causing your web app to constantly run out of threads or restart?
Who do you call for support? Let's say you think it is mono causing it? WIth VS.NET on Windows you see the bug is not there. Or if it is you can go to MSDN and find others with the same issue and work arounds and a promise from QA that it will be worked on if it is big enough in a Windows update.
I do not like Mono for this reason.
Like C++ there is a big difference between one written for Unix and one with Win32..NET is great but not if you make calls that emulate Windows. That is not good. Winforms is an example too which uses dcom/com underneath. It would make more sense to use GTK calls if it is a Linux app.
I am typing this on Windows 7. But really people do not use servers as a desktop and your thing with VPN's is a non issue in a server.
There are younger folks who have no problem with the start screen after they get used to it. It is just different and requires muscle memory. For a server I only use server manager which opens by default or the tools at my desk. I do not run it on a laptop where I will VPN from a hotel room.
More than likely when the release comes next month it will have a 10 UI with a start menu and yes some applets come with 10 but will probably be absent for the server..
Desktop by default loads up with Server manager. As long as you do not hit the Windows key the start screen doesn't pop up. You can with powershell install Windows Server 2012 headless with no gui at all!
90% of the work on servers is done from a system admins desk anyway with MMC and the associated server tools. Very rarely does one log in unless something is wrong. Powershell version 4 means you can do alot without walking into the server room and plugging in a monitor and keyboard.
Now on a desktop this can be frustrating to get used to if you use it for 8 hours a day.
Solaris left Init too. It is gone because it is not adaptive or event driven. This is not just because of performance at startup but because it makes a dynamic environment that respond to events such as a disk failing, hacking attempt, waking up on a different network etc.
In init you need to think of every possible action and every sub action in that action and write complicated scripted to get anything done.
It wasn't a problem in 1985 when RC was new when a Unix server had 50 programs at the most and did 1 thing and stayed in a computer room somewhere. A linux distro or a mac or even a modern server talking to virtualizers and serving traffic with thousands of programs is a different manner

That's socialism!! I signed my pledge not to raise taxes etc
The cost of the drive is not the hardware.

No privatize in this way is more government. Government creates monopolies. Competition destroys them.
The city owns the sidewalk and can open it up if they want. But it is easier to shake hands with certain companies and hand them a monopoly.
The solution is not more government that created the problem but less every time.

Libertarians are opposed to any title. Why can't we instead of creating monopolies who corrupt we can let competitor's come in.
Ignorant view of libertarians.
