Yes. Arrange every software producer by the quality of their releases, and Debian is very likely at or near the top.
"Unstable" is not a release. Don't you think that somebody who specifically installs something called "unstable" is expecting to do a bit of testing? These are people for whom the latest & greatest is worth it.
If you install Debian Stable, it is rock solid. The testing has been done. All the features and polish have already been added; only security updates will be made.
It's not simply a matter of interleaving; independent requests can be executed simultaneously. Read performance, especially seeking, can scale linearly with the number of drives in a RAID1.
RAID5's write performance is so awful because it requires so much reading to do a write.
I have to read from _every drive in the array_ in order to do a write, because the parity has to be calculated. Note that it's not the calculation that's slow, it's getting the data for it. So that's multiple operations to do a simple write.
A write on RAID1 requires writing to all the drives, but only writing. It's a single operation.
RAID1 is definitely faster (or as fast) for seek-heavy, high-concurrency loads, because each drive can be pulling up a different piece of data simultaneously.
Well, I run Linux exclusively, on my desktop at home and my laptop for work. This is probably not the best forum to declare that nobody is using Linux on the desktop.
Also, installing applications and dealing with dependencies are absolutely among Linux's strongest features over Windows, and always have been.
Your points are definitely right; keep at it. One nitpick: the states didn't surrender functions to the feds, they delegated them. In practice it's been more like surrendering, but I think it's important to maintain even the theoretical distinction.
Actually layoffs are pretty much all that do make the news, regardless of what else is being tried first. What you see are "Company X lays of Y workers". You never see "Company X keeps Y workers a little longer than they otherwise might have", nor do you later see headlines like "1 worker gets a job elsewhere" repeated Y times.
Maybe if the US tax policy wasn't insanely out of line with the rest of the world, we wouldn't have this problem. Can you blame these companies for getting away?
Other countries charge income tax based on income earned in that country. The US charges income tax for income earned in any country. Where would you set up your company?
The FairTax would instantly make the US the world's tax haven.
Okay, you said any 2. But why are you imposing your values on everybody? Who gave you the right to say 2 is the magic number? And since we're already saying that marriage has nothing to do with procreation, which we are when we allow homosexual marriage, then why should inbreeding be a concern either?

Or am I just talking out my arse again?

Looks a little one-sided, wouldn't you say?
Cut it out, twitter, really.
...Because if it's aliens, then it won't be interesting?
That's the least page I can remember bearing a "Valid XHTML" logo at the bottom. Ugh.
The latency is generally lower than DDR2, measured in wall-clock time. The advertised latency appears worse only because of the faster clock.
I believe his point was that Allen may sell the company, and then all bets are off.
We're intimate with dilithium crystals??
Is that a gigaquigit or gibiquigit?
Is a "quaternary bit" a "quaternary binary digit"? Doesn't make sense. I think you're after a "quaternary digit", or "quit".
Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
Isn't $50,000 a lot less than $1,900,000? What am I missing?

Is 4 of these in a RAID-1, running a seek-heavy database. Nobody does this benchmark, unfortunately.
One motion! Right off!

The conventional wisdom here is flat-out wrong. At least read a different view, folks!

...not going to happen, under this or any administration I fear.

modulo consanguinity or whatever
Just curious what your reasoning is here. Does this modulo extend to multiple partners? Animals? Why or why not?
suck as Knoppix and Ubuntu.
Hey now, they're not so bad...
That's just as true for port forwarding.
