This is where ZFS has some potential to become even more important than it already is.
The reason you RAID a SSD is to protect against silent data corruption, which SSDs are not immune from. While you don't necessarily need RAID for this with ZFS, it certainly makes it easier.
The point about the insane abundance of CPU power is one that ZFS specifically takes advantage of right out of the starting gate.
I love the "...Into Humans" part of the byline. As if the chemical(s) in question do not leach out into the liquids if they are consumed by anything but humans. Leaching and ion exchange is a well known phenomena among chemists, which is why glass is still the most common container material when dealing with chemicals.
I had a similar experience. The university was tossing a bunch of Model M's, so I scarfed them up. I don't know what kind of deep geek dungeon of gunk they had been living in, but they were NASTY.
I took the first one, and pulled off the keycaps, which were sticky beyond believe. I think I could have extracted almost an entire coca-cola from the sludge. The rest of the body wasn't that bad, and being the impatient person that I am, thought it would be super clever to put the keycaps in a pot of water on the stove and warm it up to help speed up the gunk dissolution.
A couple minutes later something shiny caught my eye on the tele. Many minutes later I was wondering where the sound of popping bubble wrap was coming from. After listening to it for a few minutes, pondering on what could possibly be making such a racket, I jumped up screaming "MY KEYCAPS!". Rushing into the kitchen to find a rolling boil of keycap soup, I cut the heat, pulled out a colander, dumped in the keycaps, and much to my amazement discovered that they were no worse for wear (and quite clean). So, it's a nice piece of information to know that those keycaps are indeed boilable.:)
Things like "browser experience" are so completely subjective as to have no meaning. The standard counters often include mentions of "general users" and other equally nonsensical strawmen. I don't mind people expressing opinions about their "browser experiences", in fact I think more people should talk about what they like and don't like. What I cringe at is when the difference between a review and opinion piece disappears, or becomes so ambiguous that it might as well be disappeared.
Yes, I know this is a dead horse, but even dead horses deserve a fresh flogging from time to time.
If people quit zoning out on The Biggest Loser and Dancing With The Stars, they may actually start talking to one another. And then, they might start READING too. Before you know it, they may start taking a vested interest in where their money goes and why. That certainly can't be tolerated... quick, give more funding to fix the Boob Tube!
... for some definitions of "remove". I seriously doubt that Microsoft has decoupled the "internet explorer" feature set from the operating system, and would be surprised if "removal" meant any more than it already does... hiding an icon.
The first thing I thought of was the earlier story about US educators wringing their hands about why Finnish students did so much better. Perhaps in Finland it is understood that effective learning has a _huge_ social component, so they don't get all worked up when they see students collaborating. And yes, I understand that there's a difference between collaboration and having the local geek do all your math homework for you. The danger here seems to be that the educational system is wanting to tell students that "you can talk amongst yourselves, but only if you say things that we want you to say". Talk about the antithesis of a learning environment.

I thought eclipses were supposed to cause super powers ... or was it that they took them away? *shakes fist*
Even better, run it from a [open]solaris zone.

Companies do not pay fines, consumers do.
If Apple bought Sun, then they would be a very interesting Server-Desktop combo.

There's nothing "grey" about the DVD solution. Using libdvdcss in the USA is a violation of the DMCA, and consequently is illegal at a federal level.
"...without refilling it for sure in the next 2 years..."
Or until the little microchip inside the toner cartridge decides that you need a new one, regardless of how much toner is left.
I thought all the 'little people who look strange to us' were just Time Bandits. ;)
"He's a senator, next year possibly a president. His *job* is to compromise..."
There's a difference between reaching a compromise and becoming compromised.

Hopefully they'll include their Linux drivers.

All five of them.
