Are you making one big raid partition on each drive and is you booting from this raid partition?
Or do you have still a seperate boot partition, and then the raid partition is seperate and maybe even another seperate swap partition?
I am hoping to do raid but it would be MUCH nicer if all i had was 1 big partition. Or more specifically, if using RAID did not force me into a custom partitioning scheme. Possible?
RAM and non-volatile memory, bka ROM serve 2 different purposes. They are not interchangeable.
First RAM is WAY faster than ROM. Second, ROM has a limited number of writes. If you use it like RAM its gonna die quickly. That is why Flash drives have a limited lifetime.
The only thing I could imagine being ok to sell with respect to voting, is facilitation. But the act of vote counting MUST be transparent. As a result the US government MUST OWN the code that counts the votes. This can never be proprietary.
They can buy communication and data storage and data security products from diebold to protect the voting data and its transmission. But the vote processing portion must always be open for complete public scrutiny.
Honestly, how can there be privacy concerns over carrying another form of ID inside of an ID you are already carrying? The RFID will simply authenticate that the passport is real. Not add any new information.
AND im sure they will have to match a number printed on the passport to one read from the RFID.
I *do* like the trend for passing computationally-expensive chores onto support chips rather than the CPU (ethernet checksums, firewalls, raid checksums etc.) but what I would really like is a raid-5 facility on-board.
Of course, if your NVIDIA or VIA and want to elevate your importance. This is not what AMD or intel or motorola would like. That's why they keep comming up with new junk to stuff on the CPU to claim its going to do more work, ala MMX, 3DNOW, etc..
I know I can run software RAID across the disks, but I'm still more comfortable with h/w solutions... I too have tried software solutions. I have seen past the facade and like you I am willing to pay the extra few bucks to get a true hardware setup. I want to simply pull drive out, insert new drive. I don't want to worry about where the OS is installed, and other non-hardware issues for a hardware failure.
Personally I will be running for a new motherboard when the new BIOS formats arrive and we can do away with this shoddy interrupt system that leaves sound and most other real time applications less than impressive on computers, regardless of their speed.
I use tight on win2k and winxp across cable modem and local network. All across putty (SSH). Never crashed. Does choke up when network gets slow though and I think you have to restart the session sometimes, but its rare.
I just wish I knew how to cut and paste across the VNC to my local computer.
Microsoft and IBM were both at conferences in Detroit about 4 years ago. So I would call this more a response by Linux since MS has a big head start.
That being said, these OSes will only ever make it into entertainment products. They will never make it into functional modules like power seats, body controllers(alarm, lights, lock, etc.), airbags, engin controllers, ABS, security, etc...
True. But it remains to be seen if Google can resist the 'shareholders' so to speak. IF Google does not get a CEO that just want's to use the company to make himself look good so he can get a higher paying job and the expense of the company he left.
Long as the leadership does not change Google is ok.
lol, yea right. This will happen when everyone starts writing good code. When version 1.0 stays 1.0. impossible, software is not even comparable to blacksmithing.
Yea, they kept saying they were expecting him to be funny. All the while I was laughing my ass off. I think they expected HIM to be the joke, but in fact they were the jokes.
I'm sure there's an 'In Soviet Russia' joke in there somewhere, lol.
WOW! I watch the daily show and I think he does favor Kerry. But you could say the same thing about Jay Leno. Comedians tend to roast the guy they have the most materian on. that tends to be the incumbent.
That crossfire episode was brutal. He had those guys sweating and giggling out of nervousness. Its a MUST see. I'd call that comedy any day.
of course if the segway becomes a device for the disabled, there can be no law to stop their usage on sidewalks, or even inside malls, as the American with Disabilities Act would prevent that. In the USA at least.
Seems that thing has an unwieldy failure mode IMHO.
If what you got today aint enough, it never will be...
In any event, multicore will continue to fall short of expected performance since the software cant handle it.
It has always been this way, never go to dual cpu till you maxed out the single one.
Even then you will find that going multi-cpu is the opposite of the way softare companies want to go. They want to pay less to their programmers, but if they go multicore, they will have to pay more for people that can write code to take advantage.
Honestly, code is so bad today that even 2GHz is performing WAY slower than one would have expected for TWO FRIGGIN GIGS!!
You already got em in many car keys of course as a passive security feature.
They only hold about 32 bytes of data. Thats why its called a TAG. Its not meant to hold any data, only to 'identify.'
So I can only imagine that these tags are for people with disorders that can't remember who they are and may wander off. The medical data must be stored somewhere else...

Is hardware supposed to be better? If so, why?
From what I read software is just as good as hardware RAID these days, and sometimes better. But its only what I read, i dont have first hand info.
Yes, and maybe it never occurred to them to change to a more polite rejection message!?

There should be no lock in /wrt vote processing.

I the USA we place great understanding and value on the power of money.
We understand it can motivate people into great things. Sometimes we forget the power of money, and forget to check where one's money is from.
Usually the source of the revenue is who the person receiving it serves.
We have stanky gas, and we still use a gas detector. Its also a CO detector, but I do need to get the RADON test done.
Dont put car batteries inside your home.
What good is it without the picture?

well there is lots of manpower there, so i would expect top speed to be slightly less than a bike, but maybe more, depending on how much it ways.
Plus, helmets are the law in the uS.
Just looks like a nerds orgy.
Indeed, I once saw a 'specially equiped' Sherman A-1 on I-75. Give a man a rope and he wants to be a cowboy... [rolleyes]

This was obvious to me at first, but I read the first reply to your statement. In a one on one, you are correct, cheating always wins.
But in a group competition, you can loose if you never cooperate. So even this basic one is interesting.
Yeeee haaaw!

I don't understand. The website is clearly about what its title would imply.
What is the ethical delima?
