Somebody should then explain to you how "Write offs" work. You can only deduct the money spent from taxable income. You save ~30% of the cost or you can amortize it over a multi year cycle depending on certain criteria. Doing so does not save you more money than the new computer costs.
The issues with a new computer cost more than the outlay cost as the migration of data, new software (as needed) as well as configuration cost time and money. However, over the course of a computer's life cycle, older systems often become more problematic and cause unplanned work interruptions, which can especially, over the course of time, cost more than the outlay for new equipment as well as the configuration, if planned appropriately.
Why does anybody have to back up "I don't like it." Nobody owes you any reason for not liking it. They don't have to back it up. If you don't like his comment, don't read it. Move on and discuss OSes.
Get over yourself. When somebody suggests they try something they have already tried and did not like, they don't owe you anything at all. If you like it, have fun with it, file your bug reports, use your package manager, do your work. Thats how I behave with my F/OSS OS of choice.
size in capacity is only the beginning of what makes a SAN a superior investment. I would love to see how many 4GB fiber connections a x4500 can maintain with decent throughput. They compete in very few overlapping markets. If you tried to run a Gemstone/S database on a x4500 I would laugh.
That being said, I love the x4600s for running VMware/Linux.
You should not put a filesystem on the SAN but rather the presented LUN. Also, if you are using a battery backed up SAN you should really turn fsync off for the ZFS filesystem and get some performance back. Also, research ARC buffer sizes as well as tuning the read block and write block size for your applications.
You could also try SLES. Their init scripts are not the SYS V style, and do have dependency abilities. You don't get ZFS, but I have found that it is a finicky beast and needs lots of kernel tuning for certain roles (Databases especially, unless you don't care about system allocation and performance). There are Linux virtualization tools that work like zones. However, do what works for you. Just figured you could save some migration pains.
Why is a differing opinion always a troll? Maybe he doesn't like it AND doesn't want to have to defend himself. Linux is about choice. He/She chose to not like it. Move along.
Unlike you, I don't simply consider myself anybody's better until I have sufficient proof. You do not. I "LIVE" in the real world. I work for a major corp, on the UNIX/Linux side.
I also don't go around calling those who contribute to the things I use "Freetards."
Good for you. I have still seen the work he has done to fragment the OSS community. He may have contributed a lot of code, but still works against many of the concepts of F/OSS. He seems to cuddle up to MS at every opportunity and frankly, I could care less if Gnome were to die. The code is already out and it can be forked (The POINT of F/OSS). He loves to control things and recreate the MS universe.
You go ahead and try that. Go have an issue where a certified driver causes corruption and sue them for it. Go see if Apple, MS, or any other major vendor will actually do anything besides point to their disclaimer of reduced liability.
It is way more simple than you are making it out. Either you are/were willing to pony up the $10 for the "Last Action Hero2" and go watch it, or you were never going to in the first place.
Therefor, they lost $0 from you not buying a ticket.
However, if you say "Man, that movie was funny as shit" to some friends maybe THEY will go see it. Otherwise, you download it, watch 3 minutes of it, vomit all over yourself and delete the file and go "Glad I was too smart to buy that shit as an experience."
Well.... Lets see. If he has 0 incentive to pay, and would not have paid for it, then the studio cannot consider it a loss. The loss only stems from the fact that money they would have otherwise gotten is somehow taken from them.
The stuff from bluearc is waaaay more than the $200K range. The disk arrays cost in the near $500K range. If you want throughput, you want more than "enough disk to store my stuff on" as well as needing slack space, edit space, etc. You need spindles to make data fly. Figure 2 or 3 of those $500K arrays and each NAS head was about $90K last I looked. I'd want at least 4 heads MIN per array.
The voice acting could hardly be worse if they tried (OOOH here's something fresh, a repetitive cockney accent...) The quests were contrived and did not really lend themselves to allowing you to be the type of character you wanted to be (The stealthy requirement for entering twin blade's encampment was a pain in the ass for a kickass warrior/mage).
The story was "OK" but was missing huge parts. It felt dumbed down to the point I gave up on it.
It had a lot going for it, but missed the mark in too many places to be an epic game. For one, and I realize it is a nitpick, the scars were a stupid addition, especially with how easily they were earned.
The guild you joined was the "Hero Guild?" Seriously? THAT is the best you can do?.......and it allows "evil" heroes too....O...k. That wasn't just dumped in after a whole 8 seconds of thought.
I liked the demon doors, I liked the combat system, to a degree, but the stupid orbs for experience were a waste of time. Why not just give me more experience based on combo kills?
In some ways, yes. Time will tell, as I have been a "theorycrafter" for a while. A lot of the conventions for tanking will change. We will have to stock block value for viability in threat (our shield slam) but then if we block too much, we won't get enough mana return from Spiritual Attunement. We will need a spell damage weapon for AoE threat (Consecrate won't be our only threat mechanic anymore) and then also need a DPS/tank type weapon for our new judgment based threat. I can see a lot of weapon twisting going on. Stamina will be stacked as that gives a 30% increase in spell power. I'm also extra glad I went mining and jewel crafting. Those both have high stamina returns available.
Oh, I am aware of the changes. However, there is no official ruling as to whether there will be any more gear with spellpower on it. From screen shots of some of the alpha blues, it looks like they were at least toying with the idea of it. However, there ARE still bosses that have crushing blows.
Even so, the point was that I had an issue with the only "real" tanks being druids and warriors. The DKs are there as the "anti magic" tank. They are going to have a lot of DPS and versatility and not the stigma that Paladins have had since they had limited viability in pre BC and had to fight tooth and nail after BC. I am an "end game" tankadin (ZA/T5) and I have had good success. People who think that Pallies cannot tank are either fooling themselves or pick apart some gimmick fights like Maiden or Mother. Guild/server/world first kills involved paladins tanking the bosses. They are not the ONLY tanks, but they are perfectly viable, regardless of what the OP said.
You left out paladins. Druids cannot block. There are fights that still have crushing blows. Also, with the latest buffs from the released specs on Paladins, it looks like their successes will only continue.
Perfect is not the enemy of the good. Evil is the enemy of the good. Perfect is the aspiration of the good. The laws of men are being bent for the furthering of the few who control the laws.
Freedoms are NOT to be restored, granted or removed. Many of the Freedoms they are discussing are our inalienable rights. THEY DO NOT control them. They do not grant them, and as such they cannot take them away. The Constitution is not an enumeration of our rights, but the government's limitations and recognition of the rights or the people.
People have given up their sovereignty to a government that promises them things. The problem is that they promise them things they either don't deliver, or deliver so resoundingly poorly as to be sad. The worst part is that they promise things done with our own money, but with such graft, greed and inefficiency as to be laughable if it weren't so seriously screwed up.

Btw, Miguel is still a shit.

I like Novell and SUSE, but Miguel is generally an ass clown who loves to further himself, not open source, as well as his own aggrandizement
You could just hire somebody familiar with X Windowing systems and the code at hand (or pay current devs on the project) to do what it is you wanted.
Often times it is considered "A feature."

I would vote for some high speed NAS heads covering the arrays. These tend to get a lot of use, though they are really just LSI engenios. http://www.bluearc.com/html/products/titan-3000.shtml
