Blasphemous as it may be to suggest this on a techie site... maybe the money could have been better spent finding and training up more people who can recognise faces better than other mere mortals, seems a very freaky skill to someone like me who can barely remember anyone!
He wasn't 100% there towards the end and apparently had concerns his work was crap and didn't want anyone digging it up and publishing it when he was gone.. fair enough:-)
Maybe if Mark Hurd (aka "That greedy self-serving cunt") hadn't made most of the EDS staffers redundant (or just chased away by the horribly unethical/evil/greedy HR practices of HP) then they'd have still had the EDS staff with the skills to make the transition ?
EDS was (for all its other faults) quite a good vendor agnostic service provider... HP isn't.. EDS could have completed the project.
You dismantle the neighbourhood cats and dogs to make yourself a Labrapussy and they chuck you in the nut house.. but if I was a "Doctor" I'd be praised for my work!
Maybe people modded it up because they agree with me ?
Actually why am I replying to an AC who is criticising my writing style ? this is/. who writes proper here ? Let me go turn on the TV and see what e-sports are currently playing... oh look.. feck all!! Cause they are boring to watch!:-)
What a fecking dumb idea, who wants to watch sweaty geeks with over "developed" wrists play computer games ?!?! Half of them wouldn't be able to make it up the steps to get their medal!
I get the feeling that if you were to brush those little tubes off of the surface they were grown on they'd make asbestos seem like candy floss in comparison!
I'm glad they are gone, as the Haast's Eagle would still be here if they were around... and I'm not keen on walking about while a bird of prey with a 3 meter wingspan looked down on me as a snack!
What's the point in joining in ? To me it's obvious you have no clue about data storage and magnetic media in general, so no matter what I say you won't agree, I only chipped in earlier because I thought your statement was so funny!
Bitrot is a myth in modern times. Floppies and cheap-ass tape drives from the 90s had this problem, but anything reasonably modern (GMR) will read what you wrote until mechanical failure.
Well fingers crossed you are not the storage admin for anyone I deal with!
RAID10 and similar systems are two RAID5 systems which are independent and regularly compare data; These can detect which system is inconsistent, so you will always have at least one copy of your data in a consistent state.
You were doing quite well up until you said that sentance.....
Oooh I remember that stuff in school! Fecking awful! It just moved "stuff" about on your arse, you'd have more luck (and fun) wiping clean by dragging your bum across the floor!

Whenever I see someone creating things like this it makes me realise how dumb I am in comparison! :-)

I hope his uber speed connection has some decent security if he has access to peoples medical data from home.

I click the link and get sent back to the /. article so I click the link again and back again to /. ... help!!! How do I make it stop?????

I can't wait!!! They sound soooo much fun!!!!
Not sure if mildly funny or just an asshole.
Not sure if you have no sense of humour or just stupid. :-)

So just because you didn't see them, means they don't exist? How do you pee?

Ahhh .. you must be one of those "poor people" I hear so much about ? ;-)
But then you could always make use of the power saving functions computers have had for the past 15 years or so :-)
You turn off your computers ?
