  17. Re:You need to make block devices on RAMdisk RAID? · · Score: 1

    the simplest way to actualy do this would be using network block devices (in the kernel as standard) and softraid on the actualy client machine to make all the network ramdisk block devices into one virtual block device.

  18. Re:Eh?? on RAMdisk RAID? · · Score: 1

    that maybe so, however when im encoding some things my cpu reguarly sits there not at 100%, so it is clearly waiting for somthing.

    If im say adding a small logo to the bottom right hand corner of a video of some description and writing it out to disk the operation completes in LESS time if im compressing the output too, but if im working with uncompressed footage (as I do generaly until the last stage of processing) then writing it out to disk is by far the slowest part of most operations

    "America is often said to be a 'hyper power,' yet our actions are
    repeatedly frustrated by an endless train of objections and obstacles.
    America has fought distant wars to defend whole continents from a
    succession of aggressors, but the beneficiaries of the safety we have

    This guy is serisosly trying to claim that america entered WWII to save europe, cos america is a Nice country? Nothing to do with being attack whilst being complacent at the same time?

    Bear in mind that the US was responsible for General Augsto Pinochet's rise to power, infact in some way almost every regime in existance that practices torture, and non democratic principles has in some way been funded or assisted by america.
