and not to be a tremoundous nit-picker, but for 100% true data protection you can't rely just on what type of RAID set you employe. A tested backup/restore process must be put in place, anything less and you risk data loss.

uhhhhh RAID6 will only support the loss of up to two drives....just like RAID10. RAID6 on the other hand doesn't use as many disks as RAID10.
By far, the Auto Chassis. Rack and pinion steering, v-4 motor with moving pistons, 3-speed gear box, fully independent front and rear suspension, oh and adjustable seats. Was an awesome kit to put together.
While using this as a publicity stunt to drum up more interest is a good idea, they should be careful about the info they release. Release info with out double checking and having to retract statements make you look rather dumb.
Good question. But since servers tend to be protected a bit more than your average home users computer its a bit easier to get 100K of those than 1000 servers. But on very rare occasions a hacker figures out how to have his cake and eat it too.....
Sure they have, its just not a very useful platform to write viruses for since they have such a tiny market share. Hackers for hire use the ideal of "most bang for the buck" style so....windows it is. Turn the tides on market share and I bet you'd see a ton more viruses for OSX than you do now and it probably would be the Windows users saying....looks at all those viruses for OSX...their security sucks.
See thats the thing, the crash ratings for minivans/suvs are typically worse than a smaller cars. And no you can't get away from physics. Typically, smaller cars, with their better crumple-zones/crash ratings, can absorb and disperse the energy of an impact around the passenger compartment better than many SUV's and minivans. Again, not saying anything about specific makes or models, so you can ignore the 'piece of shit' factor. But I bet there is some sort of Consumer Reports article about how on average people that are involved in crashes tend to have a lesser injury rate in smaller cars than those of similar crashes in minivans/SUVs.
I wasn't thinking specifically rollovers, but front end impacts. Lots of SUVs were notorious for massive leg and head injuries, and passenger ejection due to poor management of where the engine goes in a front impact(straight back in to the passenger compartment) and doors not remaining shut and seat belts failing. Yes there is something to be said about the mass of a vehicle and it stands to reason that a smaller car takes more damage when it does battle with a larger SUV, but more times than not, the passenger of the smaller car is less likely to be severly hurt in this type of crash.
I think most people claim they are safer than average drivers, but its those few schmucks out there that(not saying you specifically) that think this way when they actually have no idea how to drive a larger SUV
Repeat after me, "Huge size doesn't mean safer." A small car designed with with good crumple-zones is more likely going to keep the passengers alive in a collision. For years SUV's had horrible crash test ratings,sorry to lazy to google, but kept selling because of this misnomer. If you are concerned about the saftey of your daughter, do the proper research on purchasing a vehicle that has the best crash rating that you can afford, something like a Volvo or a VW Jetta/Passat comes to mind.
Actually this may happen sooner than most think. With gas prices on the climb in the US, more people are re-considering their means of transportation. I'd really hate to own an SUV in the US, you can barely give the things away.
True, and to further expand on the idea, the reason they want a cheaper cost to produce the device is so the price they charge the consumer is cheaper and having us buy said device. Don't blame the corp for trying to stay in business, blame consumers not willing to pay premium prices for devices produced at premium costs.
I'm sorry, but I disagree. While I don't have children of my own, I do have serveral friends with kids as does my sister, so I do have some experience here. Yes, kids are curious and want to play with anything an everything, you will never stop that unless physical security is employed. Doing this for pretty much everything in your house is pretty much impractical. So secure the really important stuff, ie office and its contents, and let the pots and pans be used to make a fort for the kids. But don't let them get away with being little inconsiderate shits that don't put away their toys. Teach them that if they play with something, they need to put it away were it belongs. This takes time and patience, but in the end your kid will be a much more respectful of his toys and yours and treat them with more care.

Wow! That is cool. probably hard to find now.

yeah. who'd a thunk it?
Considering Window 2008 HPC Server is still in beta, I highly doubt it. Give it a few more months.

Tens of millions is still way less than the 100's of millions of Windows computer....

While the discussion has been Apple-centric, I was speaking in more general terms. Sorry for the poor clarification.

Not willing to follow this link, but I bet its not work friendly.
Same here. bye.

So, will Microsoft succumb and make Win7 into a "Vista Release 2"?
No, it will probably be Vista ME.
