But the second unit had failed in the identical manner a few milliseconds before. And why not? It was running the same software.
I have read that story before on a different site. Everybody keep this in mind before you assume redundant systems can protect you against software errors.
If you install Linux on your gateway - you void the warrenty.
Do you believe what they say? I wouldn't. I have actually experienced a computer shop where I was told, that there was a law against selling a computer without Windows preinstalled. And when confronted with the number of shops selling computers without any software, they said all the other shops were breaking the law.
Don't listen to anonymous cowards telling you to mod something down. If moderators follow such anonymous sugestions, the moderation system is eventually going to break down.
I've seen several posts by you in this article, and all of them are basically you being an asshole.
I noticed a long time ago, that
Overly Critical Guy (663429) often behaves like an asshole. He knows what he is doing and probably enjoys doing so. How he manages to do so without getting modded down to -1 each time is a mystery to me. But trust me, this guys every move needs to be watched very closely.
Let the moderators do their work in the background, they don't need direction, it just adds to the noise.
I see a problem here. A moderator actually made an incorrect moderation, and it was pointed out. As long as moderators do a good job I think it is fine to let them work in the background, but that was not the case here. Now one thing that is worse than moderators making mistakes is people like you posting anonymously requesting comments to be moderated down. It is no surprise you got modded down yourself, the only problem is, that because you were posting anonymously moderating you down doesn't help the least bit. Personally I normally only see comments with score at least 1, because otherwise I see all those Anonymous Troll comments, which doesn't always get a -1 score simply because there are more trolls than moderators. Occationally I follow the below threshold links, but most of the time I regret I did, because 90% of the time moderators were right in moding something down. However in this particular case you were responsible for a perfectly valid point getting modded down. Moderators please don't listen to Anonymous Cowards requesting registred users comments to be modded down.

Too bad everyone knows about your bonch account.
Everyone? I don't know about it.

SCO sues Nasa for using Linux. Darl McBride ...
In yet other news, Darl McBride is now so afraid how NASA is going to respond, that he have hired a couple of bodyguards.
Parent says grandparent links to goatse, that is a lie.

Parent post is NOT insightful!
I have always wondered how that guy was able to post shit time after time and yet get moderated insightful.
For someone who calls himself "Overly Critical Guy", you sure suck up to Microsoft a lot.
His real name was already taken.
Look on parents moderation (Score:5, Flamebait), now that is some moderation.
