  1. Re:But why... on If Windows Came to PPC, Would You Switch? · · Score: 0

    Yes, ridiculus question.
    I have to play with windows (all part of the rent/beer equasion). No great love, but that's what I get paid to know.
    Windows needs to fix what's there, not start porting crap to other platforms.

    Sorry, I had points this morning. Couldn't wait to get rid of them, one of my daughters had a baby or puppy, can't remember. The one that accuses me of not paying attention, or something.

    Seriously, as in the running of the government, everyone should feel free to peacefuly change the processes that are important to us. /serious

    Why is it not art. Like a sunset at a sertain time/day, or the incredible chalk art done on sidewalks in California and Italy, if you are not there within a day, 99.9% of people won't see it.

    Kinda make me feel lucky to be one of those whose job is to look into them once in a while.

    You have your off days. A couple of wweks ago, during a rare slow work period, I hit random a few time, and 6 out of 10 were of British nature, places, history, etc.

    Tried again last week and today, seems more random.

    Exactly. How many times a month will this story come out?

    "Engadget shows 57% non-IE users, therefore, that's 57% of all users of the internet."

    Not a good basis for plotting a trend, IMHO.

  21. EIDE RAID 5 on Which RAID for a Personal Fileserver? · · Score: 0

    IANAAE (I am not an Adaptec Emp.), just wanna share.
    I just had a very good experience with the Adaptec 2400 EIDE RAID card ($350). Configured it for RAID-5, after a month diags told me I lost a drive (NO data loss). By the time I got a replacement, the RAID had repaired the drive unit. It's been 6 weeks and no new errors, but I have the spare on hand.
    (BTW, just for giggles, I boot with a SCSI drive.)
