Not to defend Google or anything, but FTFA in your link: " Google: Pays less than other Silicon Valley tech companies. A system administrator earns around $35,000, which in the San Francisco Bay Area, with its astronomical housing prices and cost of living, might as well be minimum wage."
I don't know what minimum wage is in the Bay Area, but $35k sounds an order of magnitude higher. If you can't make do with $35k then you've either got some serious issues, or you need to contemplate moving out of San Francisco, say to the Mid-west.
"So if you buy a set for RAID one day, the next day they may no longer stock the drive you need and your vital information is put at unnecessary risk because... what, because the hard drive manufacturers can't decide whether they want to screw you out of"
I'd sincerely hope that anyone who is considering building or who is running a RAID array would know what they were doing, at least to the point of getting drives of the same capacity (and preferably from the same manufacturer.)
If they don't whomever is setting up their RAID Array or expanding it should know better and advise them appropriately.
There are several misconceptions among RAID Neophytes that I've commonly heard:
- Being unaware that RAID 0 Striping offers no redundancy whatsoever, if a drive fails, you lose data from the entire array.
- Being unaware that the performance increase from running RAID 0 is usually not more than 5% - 10% and less when using an
onboard non-dedicated RAID Controller. Such performance gains are usually offset in part by the CPU usage of the onboard
controller.
- Running RAID 1 Mirroring is a good way to ensure data integrity over the long term, harddrives have moving parts, all
devices comprising moving parts have a chance of failure and will eventually fail.
- Using the onboard RAID controller is good enough, when it actually is usually a really bad idea, especially with larger arrays,
and especially if you actually care about the data you're storing.
If the motherboard fails, you're going to have to usually find the exact revision of motherboard with the same firmware version,
this it the primary reason I use a Dedicated RAID controller card.
- That 32-Bit Windows XP Pro has a limitation to 2 TB per "physical drive" You need to be running an OS compatible with GPT
to address arrays of over 2 TB.
I contest that anyone who is likely to purchase multiple drives for the purpose of creating a RAID array should know better, or should most definately seek advice, or do their homework before they purchase.

This is the story of the torx screwdriver, as I've been told. its eons old, and I feel no need to question it, it just makes sense.
In the beginning there was nothing, Great Inventor Dude (GID) decided, well this kinda sucks..
GID declared that there be stuff, the first day he created bits and pieces.
GID then decided that bits and pieces still weren't really that cool and created phillips and flathead, that they may rule over all bits and pieces, and should they will it turn, into stuff.
Well to make a long story short, phillips and flathead multiplied and were many, till either or both, populated the earth.
Then phillips and flathead rebelled, and instead of making stuff and honoring GID they started questioning and taking stuff apart.
So in a huge deluge lasting 90 days and 90 nights GID submerged the earth a pool of molten steel.
no phillips or flathead was spared, they were all consumed by the fire and brimstone and high carbon molten steel.
Only one place on earth was safe, atop a mountain, not the highest mountain on earth mind you, but it was that mountain, there lay a forge, and torx was its name.
Henceforth only the righteous torx would remain, to assemble and build stuff as GID willed, never to be taken apart by phillips and flathead..ever again.

That said though, I did spend a fair portion of my life playing Starcraft when it was first released, I had for some reason never really found Warcraft (the RTS) all that appealing, in any of its 3 incarnations.

I wonder if Starcraft 2 will be announced this year..

"The current print edition of 'PC Magazine' (article apparently not on the Web edition) compared Vista to XP on eight common apps/tasks (Photoshop being one of them). IIRC, Vista was faster (significantly, if I recall) on two tasks and slower by anywhere from 7% to 23% on the other six."
I'm no MS apologist, and I'm personally not going anywhere near Vista at least until SP1 is released, but I think its still too early to take current benchmark comparisons between vista and XP seriously, especially for stuff like graphics processing and editing.
Most likely driver support or lack thereof is one of the major problems with vista at the moment. Windows XP had teething issues as well at launch, and many people didn't start migrating to XP until after SP2 was released.
Similarly with Win98 it was kinda crappy until 98SE made it quite a bit less crappy.

Say what? Nearly every US merchant I've come across ships internationally, and I've never come across one who wouldn't accept a non-US credit card.
Some won't accept non-US credit cards, some won't ship outside of the US and some won't ship to addresses other than the billing address, its usually one of these three problems that international buyers face.
Thinkgeek for one, won't ship to Singapore, I know because I've tried.
I don't really care if it takes SD, MiniSD, or MicroSD
I only really point out that is uses SD, because SD Cards are possibly the cheapest type of phone expansion memory cards on the market atm.
MicroSD (Transflash) is among the most expensive cards, they cost double the price of SD for 1GB and up to five or six times the price for 2GB.
I would argue that would be a significant difference..
As for the UI and touch tracking not being up to the same standards, I'd have to say the E6's interface is pretty good, also as the Apple product isn't yet available on the market, its hard to make a direct comparison.

I'm currently running 6x Seagate 300GB 7200.9s in RAID 5. and 2x Seagate 320GB 7200.10s in RAID 0, both arrays are running on a PCIE Highpoint 2320 8 port controller.
I've not had any problems at all so far *knock on wood*
the 7200.9s are made in Singapore, the 7200.10s in Thailand, I heard a few reports of issues with the earlier batches of 7200.10s that were made in China (there were supposed to be issues with the motors), but I've never owned one of those models.
The only times I've had problems with any particular model of hdds were during the IBM Deathstar 75GXPs saga, sporadic batches of Seagate, WD and Maxtor 160GB SATA1 Drives and most recently with 80GB and 160GB Samsung SATA hdds.
Most of these games were released way before LoRD. I spent an ungodly number of hours playing Temple of Apshai and Wizardry on my 8086 with its CGA monitor.. I never really got into Aklabeth or any of the Ultima series until around Ultima III. Ahhh good times.
That said I did enjoy that early morning bit of Tradewars 2002, Barren Realms Elite and Operation Overkill, the connect tones of my first 1200bps modem still haunt my consciousness.
"Lies? Don't tell me the DVD wasn't around during the time of ff7. It was, but it was so EXPENSIVE and UNDERUSED at that time, that it would have been stupid to release a console only to use new discs just so you don't have to swap discs midgame."
Maybe you could do some quick research before making statements like this?
The playstation 1 was released in Japan in JP December 3, 1994
Final Fantasy VII was released in January 31, 1997 (PS1) in Japan. September 7, 1997 (PS1) in North America.
From Wikipedia in regards to the DVD standard: "...DVD specification Version 1.5, announced in 1995 and finalized in September 1996. In May 1997, the DVD Consortium was replaced by the DVD Forum, which is open to all companies.
So um yeah. I believe my argument still stands.
Even if the DVD was around when FF7 was released (which it was, just barely) the standard did not exist at the launch of the PS1 console itself, rendering the point of its availability at the time of FF7 moot.
swapping discs didn't seem to hurt Final Fantasy VII or Metal Gear Solid...
Thats true, but during the time, there was no option of using higher capacity disks. I was arguably the only way they could have done it back then.
Remembering how much the PSX cost at launch I'm glad they stuck to a CD Drive though.
The PS2 and Gen1 Xbox used standard DVD drives, and for the generation the disk space was sufficient (can't think of any multiple DVD PSX/Xbox games offhand)
But with the current generation, especially with MS maintaining the HD-DVD Drive as optional, whilst releasing games that already take up 3 DVDs...doesn't leave me as a potential consumer very encouraged about the future of the format.
