HAve you ever felt like you were observed... as if someone was following you in every place you would go... Well you probably were in UK.
You don't see many cameras there (I guess they know how to hide them), but there sure is plenty of warnings ("CCTV"). You can't walk anywhere in London without crossing a dozen of those. Streets. Parks. Bathroom. Water Closets. Bedroom. Under the sheets. Inside the condom. They "MAY" be watching you.
Back in the good old days, we used to route packets BY HAND! And the Internet what so much freer when the only hosts were in Stanford and random Ivy League universities. We had really a sense of community, just like when I go to the Lion's Club.
Today, this sense of community is gone, and we have to find substitutes for it... such as Karma, BTW mine is at 64 currently, but I guess Estasinus's must be much higher.
This is a real problem, and it is only getting worse every day. The "geek"'s image of a "free" Internet is vanishing fast with the massification and profitability of the net.
The "free" Internet may seem to vanish, but FEAR NTO!!! Profitability is still a distant blip on most startups!! THERE IS STILL HOPE!! Let's all unite and work for a profit-less Internet! Not that there's much to do though.
Your analogy is so poor (like moste analogies on legal cases on Slashdot), it's a bit like that elephant I once met, who had trouble cooking pasta because he could'nt get into the shop to buy the water to boil. "You don't need to buy the water!" I told him, "Just get it from the tap", tapping him in the back. "The problem is," he replied, "my paws are too big, I can't operate the tap. As a matter of fact, I can't even get into my own appartment, so I have to sleep in the lobby".
Making analogies in legal case is like trying to load a gun with corn flakes. Will the gun be able to shoot if you do the latter? Well as you know, according to faithful statistics of NRA, people owning a gun tend to die less of hunger (after all, they can hunt). But would this apply with corn flakes? I don't think so!
seek times are dramatically improved in most (if not all) RAID levels
Seek time is not going to be any better in mirrorring, for one. The two heads reading the same data won't go faster than one head, will they?
Then for striping, this usually won't make any kind of difference since data access will be randomly spread over the disk. So there you go.
NOW smartly organizing the database WITHOUT striping amongst several disks *will* make seek times faster, actually, it will require less seeking. A typical Oracle installation (as recommended by Oracle) will have for example the software on one disk, the indexes on another, and the actual data on a third.
Now since one DB transaction requires typically at least one index lookup and one data retrieval, which are unlikely to reside close to each other on one disk. Now when they're separated on two disks, subsequent queries will have less seek time.
Now, since I was right, will you give me my karma back?;)
The kind of database you're talking about is a far fetch from what most people here will need, including the original poster. I don't doubt that very specific cases require exceptions to the rule; the rule being, no RAID-5 for databases. That's not just for simple web-type databases; actually it's stated in the O'Reilly Oracle DBA book, which addresses much wider needs.
You must be smoking crack. Raid 5 is optimized for throughput at the expense of seek time, and DB don't give a fuck about throughput, but on the contrary live and die because of seek time. NO RAID 5 FOR DATABASES. Repeat 100 times.
Well I've fucked a few american chicks lately and they were really fucked up, in a consistent way: victimized, and they expected to deserve everything.
Thank you, that's good input. If I had mod points today I would give you some... oh wait you're an AC, anyway.
Since most of/. audience is American, a sly anti-American post can snag a few suckers. Nothing blatant, of course.
You haven't been following me too closely, I basically do it all the time. Maybe I'm too blatant, though. Well actually, given how the slightest irony manages to get over the head of a dozen posters usually, I'm not sure subtlety would be such a good idea.
Drop in a line about the ungrateful Americans, without LaFayette we'd be speaking English instead of American.
Now that's mind reading or something, as on another forum I used almost this line already. Actually it was quite a good flame, you know I got the usual "if it was'nt for us you'd be speaking German", the post was ridden with spelling errors so I replied saying that if we had'nt help them get rid of the brits, maybe they would spell properly.
And what is it with America's fear of body scents and hair. You might as well fuck a silicon Barbie doll, hairless and descented, if you're going to fuck a dispassionate American woman, moot point for an American geek, though.
I don't know, after all I'd rather fuck a real doll than an american chicks those days, at least they would'nt play the victim all day long and start crying for mummy every time they don't get what they want.
Well there were mostly germans inside, AFAIK, so the old "why are street of Paris lined with trees" won't work here. We could even claim that we did it on purpose. No, I want something more personal. Any idea?
Your trolling is nice, I have to admit it, though a bit repeatitive if I'm allowed to form such a (mild) critic. However, I have to admit I am somewhat sad that no one ever follows me on every thread where I nonchalantly display my hard earned +1 bonus. Sure, there's sometimes those nice "french people stink" or "french people are rude" flamelings, but they're not personal enough to suit my . Will anybody ever raise a shrine, or at least a crappy Geocities page in my honour? Look at me, me too I've got karma to spare! Even with the rudest anti-american trollflames, it does'nt go down! Am I being forgotten? Or am I just insignificant enough? Hell look at my user id: #4727! That's quite low! It's even lower than Enoch Root's! That's got to mean something, doesn't it?
Hey I agree with that, it's so fucking boring. On top of that, they justify all their bugs in the funniest/saddest way. Though Microsoft invented "it's not a bug it's a feature"? Well, wait for this one: if you hit ALT TAB while inside that fucking game, you get back to the Winblows desktop, but you don't have any mouse or keyboard control... and you can't get back to the game either! So you have to kill the Everquest process with a three fingers salute.
So you think it's bloody bug, right? Wait!!! They claim it's done on purpose to forbid the use of third party cheating progs! ROFL! And needless to say, there's countless of trainers out there which accomodate this "feature" without any kind of problem....

Are you saying that a gun full of corn flakes would nourish you as well as a deer? You must be one of those crazy vegans.

And one of the discs could also be a tape drive. Yeah.
In the Linux install notes, they claim that for optimal performance you have to split the Oracle install on 4 disks; which implies no RAID.
But hey, am I supposed to have higher journalistic standards than the slashdot editors? Eh eh eh eh.
that it was'nt funny?
that you don't like me? ... sob
Oh well. I don't care. My karma is steadily going up, and it's all that counts.
cognitive dissonance.
... on slashdot, and has been going on for such a long tyme, that I find it sad that you don't realize that YHBT.
Don't feel bad, I've been through this, too.
It's too bad that such a great scientist suffers from such a terrible mental disorderzky.

Even if there was multiple IPs, they should be able to track it down somewhat at least.
