Of the 10 or so SATA HW RAID controllers I've purchased, at least 5 of them have failed on me. I will not trust another LSI Logic (megaraid) or 3Ware controller, ever again. A quick reboot to swap in/out a new/broken drive is far more preferable to me than the headache of a flaky HW RAID controller.
If you're not spending more than $1,500 USD on a HW RAID controller, cross your fucking fingers:)
God help you, Mr. AC. The Bush family has been doing business with the Sauds for decades. In fact, Junior didn't need his father's money to start his own (failed) businesses, he received millions in funding from the Sauds. But they're not the only ones receiving fucktons of Saudi investment... also on the list... Haliburton.
That doesn't mean I am willing to unlearn everything I've got invested
Considering OS 9 and earlier are completely deprecated, and OS X is only a few years old, just how fucking much of an investment can that possibly be?
That's not meant to detract from your perfectly valid comment, though. This story is not a story. Cory Doctorow? That name sounds familiar, but wtf is that? And I've never even heard the other name.
I'm sure everyone at Apple is terrified... TERRIFIED!!
Another flashpoint? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? When is the last time the U.S. was involved in a serious conflict that wasn't of our own making? It's been a long time my friend.
Don't you mean, rather, "If the current U.S. regime decides to invade another country on false pretense?" Or, "If the U.S. has to clean up another mess of it's own making?" Or, "If the president's approval rating drops too low?"
The American people have a right to know WHY we need to spend more on our military than most of the rest of the world combined, and I'm afraid that if we really knew the truth, we wouldn't like it one bit. Yes, in fact I'm quite certain.
We are only reaping what we have sewn in the violence perpetrated against us. The American public is paying the price for the "leadership" we have chosen.
And folks like yourself, my fellow American, are the reason Americans are becoming(?) so hated and despised by the rest of the world, and even by a large percentage of ourselves.
Why haven't you ported the app to Linux, Solaris, or BSD yet, or better yet, make it easily portable to any Unix variant? Do you not have the source to this app? If not, why did you(or whoever was there before you) allow this situation to happen?
With the level of animosity towards SCO, their lack of support anywhere these days, and absolutely pathetic product lineup, I can't imagine many developers being interested in this. So, I figure I'd have a pretty good shot at that Bimmer or the $100k... which would be sweet. But, frankly, I'd be plain fucking scared to have any sort of relationship with SCO, period. I, personally, wouldn't risk it.
Then there's the problem of ethics, which would also end up preventing me from participating in this.
It would certainly be a huge boon for users using Linux-raid. I switched to using Linux' built-in software raid after having had far too many hardware raid controllers fail. I'm sure more expensive controllers are probably still reliable(ie., $1,000+ SCSI controllers), but these $400-$600 SATA HW Raid controllers are absolute junk.
... as the effects of marijuana have never killed anyone. The effects of gunshots kill thousands of people every year.
Personally, I'm all for people owning firearms, and smoking marijuana. Just please take responsibility for your own actions. Eg., keep your firearms locked up in a safe place, and don't drive while completely baked.
Anyone who is interested in the absolute fucking fiasco that is being perpetrated in the name of keeping drunk drivers off the road should really check out this site: http://www.duiblog.com/.
This is a blog of a former U.S. prosecutor who decided defending the constitution was more important work at this point. Very enlightening, and also quite frightening, IMO.
I've never seen a tech site more full of ignorant classic typical Americans. Any opinion out-of-line with American political views gets completely thrashed. Fucking forget participating at Digg if you're a European, Asian, in fact, if you're anything but a while male American, forget it.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Look buddy, In my original response, I only wanted to turn things around on you so you could do a little introspection. "Just fucking help me." That quote right there I think is the most telling thing here. The people you are asking for help don't owe you anything, and you're saying, "Just fucking help me."
All I did was use your own words against you and I got myself marked a foe for it. And that doesn't strike you as a hint that maybe you too have an attitude problem? Can you not have an argument with someone without writing them off for good(or whatever it is marking some a foe means to you)?
I know shit gets frustrating. I've been there. I've pissed people off while trying to get help. But try not to get bent out of shape when people get pissy with you. You're probably being an asshole too. Judging from your original post, I'd bet on it.
Funny, I was more polite to you than you just were to me. I was not meaning to be offensive. You are the one who opened up with a lot of swearing and namecalling.
Personally, I've never had these problems you are describing, and I've been using Linux and Linux support forums for over 10 years. But, right, I'm sure people like me are the problem, not people like you who are the ones foaming at the mouth on/.
And I was SO offensive as to deserve being marked a foe? Just for questioning your whinging?! Sheesh...
People like you constantly whinge about Linux developers in forums like/., because you don't like the response you're getting to your annoying requests for free support. Yet, somehow, we're to believe that they're the problem, and not you?
Don't assume I haven't read the manual -- just fucking help me. Don't be a twat. The real bitch of this is that "RTFM" is considered a perfectly reasonable response, but if I tell them off for it, it's now a flame.
No offense, but it looks to me like you're the asshole / twat. "Just fucking help me." No fucking thanks.
You're goddamn right man. I copy / paste through ssh with X forwarding all the time. It is by far the quickest way to do certain tasks. Do not FUCK with my X clipboard and selection buffers, under pain of death!
No, it isn't, and it doesn't. There may be something wrong with your machine or your configuration. Have you tried different audio output engines? Some of them aren't very stable, arts in particular has been bad in my experience.

Responsibility... what a concept!

Evil cowardly turds indeed.
