That's fine as long as you have backup and accept that you've traded convenience for an increased chance of multiple drives failing at close enough to the same time to cause data-loss when a second drive fails during an array rebuild, requiring you to restore from that backup.
Lawrence is correct that buying all the same drives at the same time increases your risk.
They hope the Google employees will move when faced with a drive, making housing affordable again. It's an understandable desire, though I disagree with their methods.
I would think that existing residents that are Google material could get a job there and ride the bus. To me that impact doesn't seem much different than Google building a facility in their neighborhood. Other than for the builders of course.
Win 8 is totally fine once you install 3rd party tools like Classic Shell to make it operate like Win 7. We really shouldn't have to do that though. We never should have had a tablet interface appear on our desktop machines in the first place.
But I think it does mostly work out that way. People who put up websites generally want people to use them, and the people browsing websites have a vast number of things they could do instead of using a particular website. Making it harder for people to view your content is just going to cause you to be forgotten.
It's their fault that they're choosing to destroy their country to enrich capitalists by selling us trinkets. We don't have guns at their backs. They choose to not have the environmental enforcement that we have here. Watch out, the current nutso crop of Republicans want to do the same here. Rand Paul loves a race to the bottom.
Shortened: Don't let on that it's a scam by sharing the obvious falsehoods that Christians believe.
It was sound advice back in the 5th century, but at this point pretty much all of Christianity is obviously absurd. Their god became a god of the gaps, and the gaps keep getting smaller.
The Republicans find themselves in a bad situation these days. They've been pandering to idiots for so long, that it's mostly idiots that vote in their primary, so the candidates have to discredit themselves in front of the country to pander to far-right religious extremists and secure the nomination.
Of course several of the candidates were actually totally delusional people last time, rather than just the pandering Republican scammers that usually take advantage of the religious chumps to enrich the wealthy.
The good news is that it will now take massive fraud for a Republican to win the presidency until they remake the party and shake loose all the crazies that call any remotely sane Republican a RINO.
Religious absurdity is not an alternate theory. It's a failure to think at all.
You don't actually believe that teaching children discredited archaic beliefs is giving them useful information, do you?
And this: "come for the Socialists/Jews". makes you look like an utterly deranged wingnut, fed on a diet of alternate-reality Christianist media like Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh. The wingnut blogs, hate radio, and Fox noise are not quality thought-leaders.
>realize that very close to half of the country is not in lock-step with social liberalism.
Yes, we have a ton of ignorant social conservatives in poorer, less educated parts of the country, and they do stupid things like claiming that feminism has caused greater dependence on public welfare, while glossing over the alternative of women staying with terrible men who dominate and abuse them.
I don't think we should ever let these stupid, superstitious people take the lead again. Awful, constantly lying, religious authoritarians are finally being marginalized after a terrible history of letting them get their way.
A few of them are intelligent people dealing with problem schools, but so many homeschoolers do it to keep their children as superstitious as they are.
A ton of Conservatives have completely failed to accept the scientific worldview, and just dig deeper and deeper into superstition as the rest of us wise up.
Get out of there! There are businesses out there that consider their employees to be the people who make the company valuable and successful, rather than costs to be cut.
I'd think that they'd be collecting usage data and be aware if this was a useful feature or not. Maybe usage was extremely low, and those few users, plus chronic complainers who jumped on the bandwagon, are now loudly complaining. That or Google is totally incompetent because this _does_ sound like a useful feature.
Quoting the wise AC to get this a little more visible:
If you're concerned about data security, you don't have meaningful data on your phone. Most smartphone apps wouldn't pass as prototypes in any serious environment. The entire system is made to look nice first, functionality is a distant second and security doesn't even make the list. Users do not care. It's like credit cards: Convenience trumps all.
>However, it's still technology, which means I refuse to be on the bleeding edge of it
If this was $2000, or even $1000 I'd agree with you, but at $500 many of us can easily afford it and get plenty of use out of it, despite knowing that we'll be replacing it with a true 120hz 4K display for a reasonable price in a couple of years. I also don't see support for these monitors being dropped. Nvidia and AMD aren't going to stop allowing selection of 4K resolution at 30hz.

Agreed, and it occurs to me that he might be manic from some kind of nutrient deficiency.
It could also just be that he was fat and lost the weight. That does feel like a super-power until you get used to the new normal.

As long as you're not in /r/bitcoin I haven't seen a bitcoin problem there, unlike say Wired for example.
That sounds like a personal issue that doesn't impact the usefulness of the application in any way.

Are you joking, or are you literally as stupid as Bryan Fischer?

Do you not realize that in saying things like "femi-nazi," you are one of the cranks you deride?
Confronting your stalker is not obnoxious. +.5 Funny. Half off for characterizing a murder victim as obnoxious.
Here's an article on the topic.

You just described a business transaction, not a con.

Thanks! I'll now be waiting for that one and save myself some neck strain by not buying the one in the article.
