Step 1. Create imaginary bogeymen -- "terrorists", "pedophiles"
Step 2. Create hysteria that gives the false impression that said bogeymen are common, rather than, in reality, very rare.
Step 3. Create economic crisis to fan the flames of hatred and jealousy.
Step 0 : Create technological fads with useless gadgetoids to make the general public admit without resistance RFIDs, Biometry, CCTV and all other police crap because "it's the future, it' cool" .
Ahr, then let's just *pretend* it solves the problem and still sell thousands of units to corrupted governements. And weapons, too. They help bring peace to the world.

Yep, that's it: loads of useless data, produced by a society barely able to perform some relatively weak techno tricks while completly failing to solve basic issues. Something is wrong in this biometric cash flow production model.
You need to knwow the actual layout on the SAN's physical disk, that is how many spindles are available for each of your servers and which servers use the same set of spindles.
The most likely cause of bad performance is that the same spindles are overloaded while some other do nothing, as it is very rare to have the link elements (fibre and cards) over loaded. As one other poster noted you need to know the load on your disk to decide if the link may be in cause, for example are you doing more than 1 Gb/s IO on one card ? But most likely it's the physical layout on the SAN that's in cause, and in that case you will need to redesign it : adding more spindles is one solution, or you could reorganise the SAN by moving LUNs around different sets of disks.
Regarding defrag, it makes no sense to me at the SAN level, as it could only mean moving LUNs around a set of disk, which is used to consolidate continuous space but does not impact performance. Defrag at the filesystem level makes sense, as with a standard DAS.
if for some reason they want you as you are then go for it.
else, fuck 'em !
when the so called elite decides of something, there no reasoning.
you'll be better off somewhere you're wanted !
And also there is PAR.
It works really great now, and i frequently deliver to clients pp exe files that do run-once treatements.
It's much easier than vbs for file processing, will leave no footprint on the server, and is still very easy to maintain as the exe is nothing but a compressed archive with the source code easily accessible
I know ours would blow this away without even blinking, and we're out of space and have already broken ground to double our size. supersized as it is, one datacenter is nothing when it's alone:)
come back when you have multi site workload balancing coupled with a full activity recovery plan !
focus your blame on those that deserve it and buy your media from sources that don't promote it.
Agreed.
Movies are better in a real theatre anyway, and even more in the few indie ones where we can also escape the blocbuster brainwashing since someone actually thinks out a real thematic program with movies that you didn't even know existed...And going to the movies is fun too. Much better than forever sitting at home.
And as for music, well i never gave a fuck about this mainstream bullshit anyways, i go buy the records of the bands that play the pubs of my town and support the local scene. I don't see a single valid point in buying a music file, that's braindead. And there are no DRM on vynils:)
I know accountants who still use Lotus 123 because they don't trust Excel.
Although i sometimes hate microsoft inner logics, i must say this is completly ridiculous : i've worked in several fortune 500 companies where, at many levels, the acounting jobs were done with excel macros. How can you "not trust" excel ? This must be one of the most silly arguments against excel i've ever read, and god knows there are many that stand !
As a believer in liberty, limited government, and rule of law, I'm no fan of the Democrats (...) Fewer obstacles are placed in the path of economic growth and prosperity
Ah ah ah, this economic growth you like so much is bringing the whole world down to its knees. This so called growth, which is really only a small minority of the richest getting richer while 80% of the population dwells in its misery is in fact what needs to be regulated. This liberty you gloat about is only the freedom for some of the fattest pigs to abuse the natural ressources.
You can't grow forever in a finite world, period. Regulate it or die from exhaustion .
Not that your "democrats" will make any difference tho...
If the EU gets the same access to US databases im a ok with this. Somehow i suspect the US would never bend over and take it like that. Only the EU is so cowardly bent over for their new puppet lors.
Well, it's either that or EU citizens won't be allowed to travel to the USA. It's the same with the Biometric Passports, and I don't think the EU has much of a choice here...
AMAZINGLY, people of different races have physical differences. Cosmetically different - (...) Calling that racism is a step too far.
Hmm, i do agree with you here but the problem is that he talks about "something in the blood" . That's typical racist rubish, since, as I'm sure you know, "the blood" is one of the most constistent feature of the human species .
Stating that there are blood differences between races , and using some "street truth" like "yeah latinas are hot dancers" to make the people swallow it is typical racist venom that Arnold Scharzensomthing and his right wing kind comonly use.
it's 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas and is subject to eathquakes...
It's a problem for tourism, it'a problem for future generations, it's a security problem terrorism wise, it just one big nuclear waste dump. What a great plan...
Your rant contains more insults than facts, as you provide almost no external source. You will note that i quoted exclusively mainstream news material but still you chose to answer what arranges you most. We still lack your deepfull analysis of nuclear security on this one.
In the end you are the delluded one, calling everything you can up to "good old forth of july" to justify your insanity. You realize that the pro nuclear stand is way dominant in the mass media, don't you ? So who's disinformed here : the one that reaches to mutliple sources of information or the one that spits out pro nuke tv talk show arguments ? Nonetheless i will note that in your last post you finally acknowledge the fact that nuclear has non zero risk, which is quite different from your first answer. Keep on thinking, maybe logic still can reach you.
I will answer one point. As almost all nuclear mongers you threaten that it is either nuclear power or the end of our life style, describing me as a fear monger retrograd . This is typical and i hope you realize completly dellusional. There is a hudge gap between a rational energy consumption and the piggy oil burning & mox chewing attitude we are having right now. Please note also that this wonderfull lifestyle you brag about is not completly shared by the whole human race, unlike your wonderfull nuclear wastes.
Moreover, and this will answer your last question, it is the blind nuclear advocates that are keeping the whole of humanity from going forward. The insane amount of nuclear investements are keeping us from developping cleaner energy sources and a more rational use of that energy.
But in time it will change, as many european countries are leaving nuclear behind and we realize that the risk is not worth the payload. What are your interests in this pro nuke stand ? Why not stand for progress and reason instead ?
But you are right. These are not facts. Let's keep our eyes wide shut.
One could argue that the fact that we find these disfunctions is proof positive that the nuclear safety process is working, but the truth is that there is a hudge gap between the reality of the danger and the supposed nuclear safety : it's only because of various counter powers that these disfunctions are known. The nuclear industries are closely linked to the military industries and to say the least the field lacks in transparency
I should also point that if you sticked to a scientific and factual approach of the problem, you would certainly realize that defining something as safe once and for all clearly is not a good safety procedure. Err , let's just hope you are not in charge here !
Proliferation of nuclear power will lead to chernobyl like problems, if not only statistically then in the same way that the US power grid is failing : safety brings no short term profit.
But in all your arrogance and pride for your technology i doubt that you can stand back from this nuclear fiction, untill a disaster happens. In your backyard maybe ?
Security processes have no zero default, and you know it. Nuclear safety is a myth. What is the risk ? Don't ask. What are the benefits ? Trust us. The reality is that we shall leave our fate in the hands of the nuclear goons, despite the wastes, despites the risk, despite the damage already done but most of all despite the fact that this energy is over used and wasted in mainly illogicals and ineficient ways. Only the fake sense of safe and infinite energy that the nuclear industries promess permits such a waste of energy, and this has other dramatic effects. One simple example : excessive packaging. Very expensive energy wise, very destructive (plastics, heavy metals in paints, chemical tratement of paper et al), mostly useless.
And keep the insults to yourself, nuclear monger, because be it reason or unfortunately disaster, time is on my side.
I have noted that in every nuclear intensive country the level of awareness against nuclear power is way higher than in the US. Lies about nuclear energy are well seen through.
It is not cheap although it sometimes appears to be through heavy governemental subventions.
It is not safe, and without even touching the waste problem, warnings come on a regular basis to remind us this fact.
And of course it won't last forever.
To the problem of energy and the closely linked water consumption, there is but one solution : to lower and rationalize.

Any country with enough land and population, provides a place for anyone to hide comfortably
Yes that's a problem. Truly, the population should be implanted RFIDs at birth and all parcell of land CCTVed 24/7.
Only that way can we be completly safe from murder.
Was it so hard to call 911 before cell phones ?
And the blocking device could be turned off, too.
I think it's a right to declare a zone "cell free".

honestly I don't see how you could "grow" meat.
It's coming . They do it already .
My guess tho is that the "final product", once "processed" with the apropriate "barbecue taste" chemicals is not going to taste too good.
that is what i'm saying : clean and progressive technology, not one that generate ever lasting wastes .
