  13. Re:RAID-0 is stupid. on Raid 0: Blessing or hype? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One possible use of raid-0 is in video editing. Assuming your original source is on tape (beta, dvcam, whatever). You capture to raid-0, keep your EDL on a seperate drive or even network. Worst case you have to recapture your video.

    The important thing to remember, Raid (1, 3, 5, whatever) is not a substitute for backups. rm -rf will work on a raid volume prefectly well, as will a lightening strike or thieves.

  17. Re:As a record store owner. on British Schoolkids Get Copyright Education · · Score: 1

    I don't sell sick stuff like Marilyn Manson or cop-killer rap, and I'm proud to have one of the most extensive Christian rock sections that I know of.

    Unlike most people arround here, I do listen to mainstream music. I dont buy it though, and I certainly dont go to the effort of downloading it. There's about 60 radio stations in London, although I only really listen to Radio 2 and Magic. Worst comes to the worst I'll "listen again" to weekday shows like Wogan and Bruce on the BBC website. They always have something on.

    The only MP3s I've got are stuff I've legitimatly ripped from my own (tiny) collection. Beatles, Beach Boys, Corrs, a few others. I listen to them on my player on the way to work (or I listen to the "listen again" programs, but they are harder to copy)

    While it has always been technically illegal in the UK to make a "mix tape", or copy a CD to your own MP3 player, everybody does it, and the record industies and politicians encourage it.

    The reason I dont buy CD's? Music nowadays is ten a penny. There's always something on on the radio, so why would I want to buy CD's when I dont even have the time to listen to the radio as it is?
