RAID 5 is a compromise... there are more appropriate... less complex and easier to deal with RAID arrays that are more suitable to the cheap availability of storage these days.
Could you elaborate, please? I'm in the process of setting up a RAID server, and studied the definitions at before choosing RAID 5 - it honestly seemed to be the simplest to me.
I don't know if configuration of software RAID might make level 5 more complicated, as my system is a secondhand Proliant with hardware RAID, and setup was 2 minutes in a GUI. RAID 1.5 or 15 looks promising, but I don't remember being aware of that previously - the definition says it's a "nested level", so I'm guessing it's not one of the simple options my SCSI controller does automagically??
We destroyed their way of life and now they are stealing from our grandparents.
They never had a "way of life" - Eastern European people were generally poor under the Tsars [1], poor under communism, and are now poor under their current wild-west, developing democracy.
It's probably more true to say that in many ways the way of life of Eastern European people has been largely unchanged over centuries - I dare say that under communism there were occasional sunny days, that people went to the beach, raised families and were sometimes happy, sometimes sad & stuff. What "democracy" has given Eastern Europe is the influence of the west and of companies who want to sell more mobile phones into emerging markets. Globalisation may be to the advantage of countries where labour is currently cheap & skills undervalued.
As far as "stealing from our grandparents" is concerned, this is simply a matter of the internet empowering petty criminals to operate internationally, same as it has empowered everyone else to operate internationally. That's what the article is about! The matter of Eastern European criminals preying on Western folks is simply explained by the fact that poorer Easter European criminals have more to gain and, because of the difficulties of international enforcement, less to lose than Western criminals.
Tell me: when a member of the Native American community steals your car, do you remark on the irony of that? Is that somehow like Black Elk's revenge?
So he has a PHD in CS and he decided to change based on a comment? Not the actual code mind you but the comment?
I think that's a bit of an unfair characterisation. If the bloke's bothered to read the code, I'd expect him to have looked beyond the comments - considering the tone of TFA you can have no idea that he hasn't. He probably gave that as an example, as part of a much longer statement - if that was highly technical, would you be surprised that a journalist cut it?
There's no point in acting all surprised about it!

All the planning charts and digital rights management orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centuri for 50 of your Earth years, so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complains and it's far too late to making a fuss about it now!
1: Offer fast TV downloads for free, or offer legal torrents.
2: Include the advertisements in the shows, and track how many people download them.
3: Profit!!!
I wondered what Google were going to come up with next.
Apple didn't sue over the leaked copy of Tiger. They watermarked it...
Actually, they demanded a copy of the server logs from the BitTorrent tracker & matched up the IP address of the seeder with the IP he'd used when logging on to Apple's own support site.
The summary misses out one point which is particularly important in this case:
"This violation by Fortinet is especially egregious since the vendor not only violated the GPL, but actively tried to hide that violation," said Harald Welte, Linux Kernel developer and founder of the gpl-violations.org project.
(I read this in the mailing-list post about this yesterday)
I don't see the problem myself, and would be grateful if someone could explain the situation.
Well, instead of, for instance, a useful directory of local hookers, http://sex.pro/ includes "favourite categories" links including life insurance & Christian dating. Well, where else would one look? I assume this means that, say, http://clarisse.sex.pro/ is unavailable for registration?
You have to provide proof of your profession to buy such a domain. Now that's probably the reason why I've never seen a spam advertising a.pro domain.
In that case you may enjoy http://www.network.pro/. And I'm disappointed to find that instead of a directory of local hookers, http://sex.pro/ includes "favourite categories" links including life insurance & Christian dating. Well, where else would one look?
It seems to me there's no point in pretending these are quality, respectable and accredited domain names if shenannigans like that is going on. *sigh*
I made the mistake of quoting the "as long as you don't break it" rumour to a colleague recently. He's clearly more observant than I am, replying:
I think it will invalidate your warranty, I read the article you refer to, but check the small print on the Apple tech spec for the mini,
it states:
5. Memory upgrade must be performed by an Apple Authorized Service provider.
Interestingly, on the US site it says even more:
5. Memory, AirPort Extreme and internal Bluetooth upgrades must be performed by an Apple Authorized Service provider; fees may apply.

Apparently Multimap thinks that size isn't important.

For posting to Slashdot, lam3r!
