No, as the average drive size exceeds the bit error rate it becomes ever more common to encounter an error during RAID rebuild. This is why most storage admins have given up on RAID5 and moved to RAID6 or similar dual parity schemes.
RAID10 with checksuming done at the FS layer (ala ZFS/ReFS) is the way of the future. Plus, at least with ReFS, it can simply unlink the corrupt file without affecting the rest of the volume meaning that you only need to restore the file(s) listed in the log instead of reloading the entire volume from your backup source.
Exactly, the major problems are that the VDA license is *per device* instead of per user, that the license is only available to volume license customers, and that MS has told hosting providers that they must maintain separate physical servers and *storage* for each customer. Almost every other piece of MS software is available to service providers under reasonable rental terms so that they can provide their customers a convenient service, it's only the desktop license where MS has repeatedly refused to offer terms that their end users and service provider partners find reasonable.
Um, why? Why would you want to intentionally contaminate a water source? Besides being all kinds of illegal (federal crime under the clean water act for starters, if not seen as terrorism for messing with a water treatment plant), it's also highly unethical. Google is trying to be a good environmental citizen by making use of grey water instead of requiring fully treated water which requires significantly more energy and chemical usage, what possible reason could you have for trying to dissuade this behavior?
Really? Normally for bigger projects like this the TBM's are just crossed at the midpoint and left buried since the cutter head can't fit inside of a finished tunnel and the midpoint is normally somewhere where you can't simply bring a TBM to the surface.
It wasn't about the wood being endangered, it was about Indian law requiring a maximum thickness for exported woods of certain types which in effect is an Indian jobs program because it requires that more of the value of the process be done in India. The strange thing is that the wood being exported was inspected by Indian customs and found to be non-infringing but the Obama administration is taking a more literal interpretation of Indian law than even the Indian government.
RDP cannot be put into a key/certificate only mode.
Yes but you can use IPSEC with machine certificates to achieve the same goal, or you can put the RDP machine behind a RDS Gateway and use certificates as the authentication method on the website however this does limit the usefulness as it limits your users to only having access from company owned assets (well technically you could issue the certificates and have them install them on other machines but I'm not sure everyone in our IT department would get it right, let alone random business users).
Windows 2003 has extended support until 7/14/2015 which means you still get critical security patches (like this one), most large organizations will be moving stuff off 2003 until Q2 2015 if not longer. According to vcenter I have 49 production 2003 machines (out of 131 total) and there's probably 20-30 more physical machines (I'd have to look at one of the monitoring tools to get an exact count). Most of those are being phased out but we don't have the resources to replace every application that was deployed prior to 2011 in one or two years (Windows Server 2008 sucks much like it's workstation brother Vista, 2008 R2 didn't come out until Q4 2010 and only fools deploy anything from MS at launch).
For userland applications these type of stack smashing attacks have become much harder to exploit due to DEP and ASLR. ASLR basically randomizes where the buffers will allocated from for each run of a program while DEP marks memory pages as being either data or code and data pages are not able to execute (this is hardware enforced on modern processors). However ASLR is not implemented in XP/2003 and DEP is not available for kernel code.
MGM Universal likewise has a very impressive vault system (or so I've been told, never worked there but had a contractor who was working for both us and them).
I wonder why nobody has fought a conviction on the grounds that it is an illegal search? It's not like there's any constitutional foundation for the federal government to be putting up checkpoints in the middle of a state, quite the opposite really.
Yeah, it's called a signed pdf, I did all of the paperwork for my refi using them except the final loan documents that the archaic process in my state still requires be done on paper using a notary.
Yeah, my dad's company uses some ~20 year old LJ 4's. You can still get refurb kits and toner for them so for the jobs where the slower print speed isn't an issue why not?

THIS! Aerosolizing carbon black sounds like a really, really bad idea since it's a known carcinogen (HP got sued by workers in toner plants over exposure). Not to mention I can only imagine the paper jams from trying to use randomly handled paper (brand new reams cause enough problems).
MICR doesn't really matter these days since the checks are just scanned and sent to the electronic clearinghouse (that's why you can snap a picture of a check with Chase to deposit it, they no longer need the physical check, just an image). For any check in an amount that matters there's already the parallel deposit ledger system in place to void any non-authorized transactions.
I was commenting on the idea that it doesn't matter if your opponent has enough resources because they can brute force it given enough time, not whether it's a good idea to use AES for storing password databases (as you say a one way hash (with a salt) is superior for that purpose).
They don't, but if they have the resources for a brute-force search, it's moot since in theory they'll just keep trying until they find it.
Except you can make a cipher practically impossible. AES256 is one such cipher, unless there is a significant breakthrough in cryptography a correct implementation of AES256 would require a perfect computer consuming all of the suns output longer to crack than the sun has life left.
Not enough oil?!? Russia is the largest producer accounting for 13% of total world production. And by 1940's tanks do you mean the late 80's T80U or the 1990's T90?
More like they don't have France to generate nuclear power for them (this is the real world assessment of how Germany will continue to grow its economic output without nuclear power on their soil).
particularly since x86 tablets won't have very good battery life
Why do you say that? The specs for Ivy Bridges based ultrabooks are 10+ hours so I'm not sure how removing the keyboard to produce a tablet would make it any worse.

Um, yeah my 50% year over year data growth disagrees with your assertion that capacity has exceeded demand (both personally and professionally btw).
EFI with GPT does solve the problem once and for all, it's just not common yet since Windows 7 was the first common desktop OS to support EFI.

This would be in violation of the Berne Convention.
