The peak rate for Southern California Edison (anything a residence uses over about an average of 300kWh per month) is now about 33cents USD per kWh. (I just got first 2006 summer bill)
WOW!
That's just under $3 per watt per year. A 200watt fileserver for instance is $600 a year to keep running. A 120watt torrent machine is $360 a year to keep online (plus cost of cable/dsl modem). Most network routers and switches cost more in a couple years of electric use than their purchase price.
But is it illegal if you take that 2nd copy of your music, and leave it at a friends house, offline?
What if you fill up a few 500GB drives (the sweet spot (on sale) if you consider the side costs of drives, hot swap bays, controllers, power, percentage of server cost), and just keep them at a friends home, sitting on a shelf. How can that be illegal?
Consider:
1. It's not illegal to make up your own mix cd. 2. It's not illegal to keep that copy in your car. 3. It's not illegal to drive around with that copy in your car. 4. It's not illegal for others to listen to that cd in your car.
So it is legal for someone to listen to your physical copy that you still own, in least in some cases.
1. It's not illegal to copy CDs you own to an iPod. 2. It's not illegal to carry that iPod around and listen elsewhere. 3. It's not illegal for others to listen to your iPod.
What if you loan that iPod to someone? Is that illegal? If not, how is that different from keeping a harddrive full of music (where you still own the harddrive) at a friends home.
After almost loosing (TWICE) my entire ripped CD collection (EAC Secure TEST/COPY into FLAC), I finally really heard what I had been told over and over but never believed.
RAID IS NOT BACKUP!
If you think having a parity drive makes your data safe, you WILL regret it. Even RAID1 won't save you when your power supply fails violently trashing multiple drives.
My solution? I built up a new RAID server with higher capacity drives, and leave the original server turned off as a mirror that I sync once every month or two. I occasionally compare every file to ensure no data corruption. It takes days to compare terabytes over a LAN, but then I know ahead of time about bad/failing hardware.
And if you actually care about burners, read the reviews from a quality site that actually reviews virtually all the models, does far more exhaustive tests, and has a very active technical forum. CDR Info.
You are absolutely wrong about no downloadable program guide before TiVo.
There were both StarSight and VideoGuide, both sold in the mid 1990s before TiVo.
VideoGuide actually had a nice GUI interface with a comfortable simple remote. Except for the limitations of Tape (no random access, no way to delete shows or know what was on which tape), it was quite comparable to TiVo. It downloaded program guide data via a wireless interface (based on a pager network). You could buy the units at any RadioShack.

Anyone can hookup a bunch of CD-ROM drives to a PC and rip multiple CDs at once.
The hard part is getting perfect rips with correct tags so you NEVER have to rip those CDs again.
Perfect means EAC (Exact Audio Copy), with Secure, no C2, no buffering, and using TEST/COPY. Using FLAC (or other lossless) format. Who wants to ever do this much work again? Rip to lossless and never rip again.
You can run multiple copies of EAC at once, it works with external USB drives. I've seen people rip 12 CDs at the same time. Fill up the drives, start them all up, and walk away.
Yes, TEST/COPY takes twice as long, but with a stack of drives running, who cares, the important part is catching errors, and TEST/COPY will catch errors you would miss otherwise!
The truely time consuming part is tagging and problematic CDs (ones with scratches, or bad pressings). Ever type in tags on a complex CD? Takes time. Then there are those precious CDs that won't rip without errors no matter how many times you swap drives, or grind it down with a DiskDoctor.
If you are willing to go slightly larger you can avoid the whole yucky slow VIA C3 platform, and go with an Athlon.
There are the shuttle cube type systems which have dropped drasticly in price.

Reminds me a delightful (and dark) book from 1952 called "The Space Merchants" by Frederik Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth. The main character ends up working at an offshore turkey breast factory where they grow a giant turkey breast tumour from cancerous turkey issue.
They just carve off hunks as it grows.
The texture is lacking the grain of real turkey breast, but lots of people seem to like ground turkey, or turkey loaf, or turkey hotdogs.
There is a mention of it in the Wikipedia article on vat grown meat.
I did software RAID5 using onboard IDE and a couple Promise controllers (Ultra100 and Ultra133 since they screw up if you use two Ultra133s in the machine at once).
Yes, software raid sucks in many ways. The drivers from Promise REALLY suck, in particular the lack of error detection or notification, no support for S.M.A.R.T. from Promise and so on. But I couldn't find an affordable RAID controller than handled over 2TB.
No matter how large you make it... you will fill it up, and RAID5 does not support adding more drives, so make it BIG to start with.
Even if you don't believe the test was rigged, the fact that it was very tiny in scope shows that they couldn't have gotten accurate results even if they were trying.
Do you think the results from DVDHELP are also rigged? They give pro DVD-R results as well.

Of course it matters, if you want to buy new drives to read the discs, why use a backwards compatable format at all?
The whole idea is burning discs others can read. Or are you going to buy all your clients, relatives, friends or customers new DVD drives when they cannot read your DVD+R discs?
The review was much more negative about DVD+R than the upfront review numbers say. The consumer DVD players that wouldn't read DVD+R were not obscure, but some of the most popular brands!
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 23:29:38 -0500 From: Craig Hunter Subject: G4 vs. P4 performance
I have been following the discussion of Rob Galbraith's benchmarks with much interest, as I have spent a good deal of time testing, optimizing, and benchmarking software for the G4 (OS X) and P4 (Linux).
The first thing to realize is that there are numerous benchmarks that show the P4 is faster, and there are numerous benchmarks that show the G4 is faster. What matters? Well, probably the benchmarks that apply to the kind of work you do. For people doing photo processing with the software Rob tested, his results are extremely relevant. But, someone working with a program optimized for AltiVec and dual processors might have a completely opposite experience.
Just to give an example of a benchmark that goes the other way, see this chart.
(You're welcome to mirror this benchmark image, since my web site may not handle a lot of traffic). These real-world results come from the Jet3D computational fluid dynamics noise prediction software, which I developed for my doctoral thesis and currently use in my work at NASA. Jet3D is written in a combination of FORTRAN 77, FORTRAN 90, and C, and is optimized for AltiVec and dual processors on G4 hardware. When compiled on Linux using Intel's ifc compiler tools, Jet3D also becomes optimized for the P4 (using the various SIMD extensions available on the P4).
As you can see, the G4 does quite well here. A dual processor 1.25GHz G4 system is more than 3.5X faster than a single processor 2GHz P4 system. Though it's not shown on the chart, a single 1.25GHz G4 processor benchmarks at about 1589 MFLOPS, 1.9X faster than the P4. If you look at MFLOPS per MHz for a single processor, the G4 comes in at 1.27 MFLOPS/MHz, while the P4 comes in at 0.42 MFLOPS/MHz. If you want a good example of the MHz myth, look at the Cray, which comes in at 1.78 MFLOPS/MHz with only a 500MHz processor, beating both the G4 and P4.
Without AltiVec, the Jet3D benchmark would be about 794 MFLOPS on the dual-1.25GHz G4, which erases the performance lead over the P4. And then, using only a single processor, the 1.25GHz G4 benchmarks at about 418 MFLOPS, which is about half as fast as the P4. And all of a sudden, the G4 doesn't look very compelling. For the Jet3D benchmark, AltiVec and dual processors are key (AltiVec more so than dual procs). This is true for most benchmarks I have looked at; thus numerically intensive applications that can't use AltiVec and/or dual processors are likely to suffer on the G4.
In the case of Jet3D, it was easy to optimize for AltiVec. I was able to hand-vectorize about 10 lines of code within the guts of the FORTRAN algorithm and convert the computations to C for easy access to AltiVec hardware instructions. It had a huge effect for not a lot of work. For other more complicated cases, it may be possible to use the VAST compiler tools to automatically vectorize and tie in with AltiVec (VAST has parallel tools also). But in some cases, vectorization is not possible or feasible. In those instances, you're stuck with the processor's scalar performance, and the P4 generally has better scalar performance than the G4 in my experience. One final note: these are my personal views, and do not represent the views of NASA Langley Research Center, NASA, or the United States Government, nor do they constitute an endorsement by NASA Langley Research Center, NASA, or the United States Government
CompactFlash isn't that much larger given how large this unit is. Yet it's available in FAR higher capacities, and is FAR cheaper than SD/MMC in the useful capacities. According to DealRAM.com:
256mb CF is $49 512mb CF is $107 1gb CF is $211
256mb SD is $70 512mb SD is $250 There is no 1gb!!
1. I had zero coasters in previous batchs I've purchased.
2. I have had zero disc failures after burning even when giving the discs to relatives and friends.
3. The bright white lacquer coating is tough and works great with both markers and labels.
4. The price is impressively low (but then all 1X media has DRASTICLY dropped in price, it's HARD to pay over $1 for 1X DVD-R media).
5. The place I buy from has sold a LOT of Princo, and has a good repuation with me, I've done business with them for at least 5 years. They sell only CD/DVD media, holders and labels. If I had a problem they'd gladly refund my money or swap me for another brand.
I don't care if Princo has legal troubles selling CDR media in the USA, their DVD media has worked very well for me.
Also this talk about "20 years", we are talking DIGITAL media you can copy loslessly!! In 10 years you can copy your entire DVD collection onto a single ***** disc or organic memory drive or whatever comes along.
First you can easily fit 2 hours of video on a DVD-R. Remember, it's 4.7GB. You were considering VCD yet you could fit 6 hours of SVCD quality video on a single DVD-R!
Second, blank 1X DVD-R discs are 58cents in quantity 100. I picked up 200 Princo DVD-R blanks last month, they work fine in several DVD players I've tried.
I shop at a local clone/junk store that sells tons of refurbished monitors. They are hooked up so you can look at them. Generally the large brand name (like NEC) monitors seem to hold up well.
Maybe not as sharp or flat as some newer monitors, but they seem to last forever and are relatively cheap (less than a new noname piece of junk).
A friend and I have built 6 of these things, had no problems. Works fine, but then I'm not talking enterprise servers, more like a fax machine, or a linux router.
Anyway, here is virtually the same board from ECS (or as we call it, Extra Cheap Shit), for $59.
You can find the Zalman northbridge heatsink at NewEgg for $6 (but shipping sucks). The regular VIA C3 heatsinks won't work since there is no Socket to hook onto.
The peak rate for Southern California Edison (anything a residence uses over about an average of 300kWh per month) is now about 33cents USD per kWh. (I just got first 2006 summer bill)
