What you describe is RAID 0 (stripping), if i'm not mistaken. You have different levels of RAID, and the kind you describe does not provide data security; you have to mirror to protect your data from the failure of a drive.
With 4x100GB, you could do RAID 0+1, for example, that is stripping+mirroring (2x100GB x2, you'll have 200GB space available and data security).

The screen looks photoshopped in the upper edges, and just putting some USB keyboard in front of it isn't enough. I'd had been impressed if the mod was detailed, but I, too, can claim to put a bi-g5 in my powerbook 100, with just a photo starring said powerbook powered off...
So this law is not that stupid, if you think that the general law that pay back artists for the right of users to make private copies is a good thing.
Well I consider it makes it more stupid. HDs used in appliances like iPod are used like a tape in a walkman, ie not for piracy but rather temporary stockage. Whereas your computer's HD is more likely to have tons of p2p'ed mp3s.
This law is stupid anyway. I don't pirate anything and still have to pay for my monthly/home backup. (ok, I admit i could get myself some CD-RWs)
Have you heard of our last stupid law project here in France ? Our dear legislators wonder whether it would be a good idea in instigate an upload tax. (won't develop on this one, it makes me crazy, as I host my little webserver on my DSL).
French appartments are rent controlled, once you sign the contract your rent can only go up by a minimally, govt approved amount (I think it's 2.5%).
Yes. However, the rate may vary. To be precise, it's revised every year to follow the "indice du cout de la construction". This rate depends on your location, it means your rent will raise faster if you live in the center of a town rather than in rural areas. The rates rarely exceed 5%, though.
Further, people can't be evicted except under extreme circumstances and the elderly and infirm are almost completely exempted from those.
Well, yes, one can be evicted, for not paying the rent or after repeated problems with the neighborhood for example; however, one can't be evicted during winter (november to march). The landlord has the right to decide he wants to live in his appartment, too, but he has to warn the renter six monthes before.
..., and I may be helping some geek nearby look up something on the internet in a hurry.
Or the nearby cracker or pedophile. Well, that's your problem now.
plain text SSL is just to authenticate the site, not to protect the data I suppose... (retarded? maybe..)
As you can see in the article (the what? "article"... what would be that), scammers use plain-text SSL connections just because such connections don't use certificates at all, which is "useful" as it doesn't trigger certificate alerts.
The main reason I use gentoo is bugfixing made easy. emerge your soft, if you find a bug you can fix it yourself quite fast by re-running emerge, stopping the merge when make begins, and hacking in/var/tmp/portage/$soft.
Well, it may not be "fast" if it's a hard bug but it's noticeably faster than with a binary-package distro where you'd have to go get a tgz, figure out the configure options you want, and go into bugfix mode - fucking up your distro's package database by the way.
PC is cheap and fast.
Fast for a while... It tends to slow down as time passes.
Where I work I have a 1+GHz CPU with 640MB of RAM, and a GeForce (why i got a GeForce to do development, i dunno). The only things I installed on top of Windows XP is Eclipse and bzFlag (we play half an hour bzFlag after lunch). When I began to work here I ran bzFlag at full options and it was running at 100+ fps. 6 monthes laters, I have now all options at lowest setting and a whopping 19fps. Didn't touch anything on the computer.
Me. I have a ppc.
(of course I'm not concerned about Centrino stuff this time, but I was when I couldn't buy a powerbook due to lack of 3D, when said powerbooks shipped with nvidia chips).
Ati? HAH, good luck trying to get those drivers to work, open-source or not!
Thanks to my 1337 h4x0r skilz, I had the open-source drivers running fine after invoking the voodoo `emerge xfree` command. That was real hard.
And if you do get them to work, what kind of performance are you getting from them?
1800 fps at glxgears, seems quite correct to me.
But I have no clue what goes on in today's modern multi-processor-controlled engine -- it might as well be a black box to me. Actually, it is -- my car is a tool, a device to get me from point A to point B in reasonable comfort.
What you describe is the car equivalent of the computer-land "develop your own printer/modem/whatever before using it".
"how to use a computer and not click on virus and not mess with My computer/properties" is the equivalent of knowing "which pedal is the gas and which is the brakes and where do i put oil".
Gotta love when updating a piece of software gives you access to even more of the hardware.
That's what happened to me when I bought an iBook G4 and installed Linux on it. cpufreq wasn't supported and the CPU was running at ~ 700MHz.
A few weeks later BenH added cpufreq support for these laptops and the 200MHz speed bump felt good:)
SPF implementation guidelines specify that admins specifying their SPF records should also enable SMTPS authentication. With this you'll be able to send your personal mail from everywhere using your domain's SMTP server.
See step 2 on the "How do I implement SPF" page.
As I don't think this will stop spam (at least not before massive adoption, as others said), I think it can protect us from having a spammer using our email address as From:.
I publish SPF records for my small domain now, and next time some dumb ISP complains getting spam "from me", I'll be able to tell them to go and check my SPF records, and to match these with "my" spam's headers.
Of course, this is for my little domain with few users, all well-educated enough to use authenticated SMTPS to my server.

I still think you do need to treat the cooling system in the G5 like a black box
Or give a look at this driver.

glxgears is next to useless. What about Unreal Tournament? Wolfenstein? Quake3?
Dunno, they don't run on ppc/linux. Quake2 is at about 100fps at 1024x768 (all options maxed out).
Who the hell cares besides RMS?
Me. I have a ppc. (of course I'm not concerned about Centrino stuff this time, but I was when I couldn't buy a powerbook due to lack of 3D, when said powerbooks shipped with nvidia chips).

I guess they asked every netfilter developer if they agreed with this settlement, and they did.

What's the use of a laptop if it's to hook it up a desktop ?
Microsoft (who has never enforced any patents, so some people even think they don't have any)
Never? What was that story about virtualdub's author forced to remove ASF support from his software, then?
This is not about Gates, this is about Microsoft. (but I agree on this part: "England wants to knight him. Strange.").
maybe that's the singular for geek. A gook, some geek.
Or not?
Well, that seems to be true...
