There are a lot of people who would argue with you that the concept of property rights is the biggest problem with western society.

Indeed! I sometimes find it hard to grasp the concept of "owning" a part of the Earth. The conflict around Israel springs to mind, aswell as other various land rights disputes around the world, not to mention most wars that have ever been fought.

I'll say "whoah"... Are you locked into a decade old price or something? We pay 10 Australian cents per MB which would come out to about $AUD1,800 for 18GB, or about $US1,200. And that's Useable RAID-5 (not Raw), including incremental cache and chassis upgrades. The disk is HDS 9960.

On: Openfiler Storage Management Software GPL'd

I'd hardly call this "Storage Management" software. When it can look after Brocade, McData, Inrange and Cisco switches, Emulex, JNI, Qlogic adapters, EMC, HDS and IBM disk, Storagetek, and IBM tape drives... then it will be "Storage Management" software. And as for an "enterprise application", well...yes, bring on the NDMP support, and fibre channel multi-pathing and load balancing.

Yeah, my initial thought when this news broke was "Who would do this? Who would have the most to gain from it?" (other than bragging rights).

Valve's competition maybe.
