Similar question: Which would you rather have: software RAID or hardware RAID? On Linux, software RAID is usually faster, cheaper, more reliable, less buggy & fuller featured.
You're joking, right? Last time I checked, the MD system wasn't big on adding drives / swapping drives for larger drives / replacing bad drives online with no disruption, and offers no way of visually indicating bad disks for local hands to remove. I also couldn't find any agreement on how the system should discover MD volumes, and there seemed to be some bizarre recommendation of having an extra device for metadata or something.
In the continued absence of ZFS, I'll stick with HP's HBA RAID for now.
Lightroom indeed does 90% of what I'd like to do, but the touchup tools are lacking: eg. one can only clone/heal in circles. This often works okay for zits, but not for anything shaped irregularly. This presumably is so that there's a reason for people to buy Photoshop too.
I don't know if you are sarcastic or not, but I for one am thankful for the maintainers of Fedora.
These days I have to type in passwords that are akin to random letters.
I get more annoyed with sites that *wont* let me us @#$%* chars, enforcing only [A-Za-z0-9].
I am ok with that. BUT it is BLOODY EFFEN HARD to type in the password into the text field. And if the text field hides the text it becomes annoying to have to input the data again.
I always compose the new password in my management tool then cut/paste into the text field. Doesn't everyone?
There's also the way that Squaretrade's term starts with purchase, where one would reasonably expect it to start after the manufacturer's warranty ends. This is IMHO deceptive.
Solaris 10 introduced both a default quiet startup and SMF. RHEL 7 in 2H2013will have systemd which AIUI at least partly does the parallel startups that SMF did in 2005.
No signs of a postbellum filesystem, though - still running Solaris here for ZFS compression.
... not to be confused with Melanie Chartoff of course.
TFA claims that backscatter machines are being phased out. Last I read this was not true, they were being shifted to less-prominent airports.
There's FTTN here, except that the node is 11000 feet away, so the best *DSL I could get is like 2/512. Comcast gets me 22/6. Since my neighborhood isn't really close to any Google facility, they won't be rolling out service here anytime soon.
Why did you want to chop up your disk/SSD like that in the first place, and limit yourself to only running one or the other? VMware Fusion can be had for $30 if you try, and works great for running an MSW VM. You mention a Linux VM, so you've got some sort of VM application -- I just don't get the Boot Camp hassle, it has no advantages over using a VM.
Well, you're a grownup, probably neurotypical. I need all the content (and whatever the future brings) for my autistic son -- if one device's battery dies mid-flight eg., it will be a very bad trip for everyone on the plane. Most people of course don't have my constraints, and at home content that isn't for my son lives on a system that shares it out over the net, but for leaving the house with my son having the capacity on my phone is priceless.
Our iPad / iPhones are using about 30GB right now for content for our son. Streaming in no way is a substitute for having local copies: no reliance on an unmetered, always-available, always-fast cell-network connection - which are not to be found on airplanes and rural highways. No reliance on the external provider keeping the content available forever.
I doubt many people would put up with waiting for every app they want to run to be downloaded over the air every time. My son sure wouldn't cope with it for his 250MB apps.
There is only competition if Google a) covers more than a privileged small fraction of an area with a service that's usable and b) doesn't decide a couple of years later that they're bored and abandon the whole thing.
The former remains to be seen; the latter we've seen time and again.
Yeah, WTF is the point of a yacht that burns hydrocarbons as primary power? Sails ftw.

In my experience they completely kick Dell's butt, and give IBM a real run for their money, at much lower cost. I evaluated a ProLiant Gen8 and the manageability features were pretty impressive. The thing can update it's [sic] firmware and send SNMP traps, etc, from bare metal, without an OS.
Those have been fairly standard service processor features, actually, for a number of years. The SNMP trap thing is slightly annoying, in that everyone seems to assume that some application that can handle traps is available. The latest iLO 4 firmware introduces the ability to syslog (which is somewhat broken still - and something Sun did years ago) and send email (also done by Sun years ago). Unlike IBM and Dell and Cisco's UCS servers, HP Gen 8 systems with iLO 4 >1.05 have serial consoles that work right out of the box for bootstrapping (also done by Sun years ago). iLO also has the ability to mount an ISO image over the net via an HTTP URL, which is quite handy at times. The HP Gen 8 systems (with iLO 4) really are a distinct step above the G7 systems in a number of ways, eg. PXE booting doesn't inexplicably force the console to 115200 bps, lack of the bizarre MCE issues that some G7 systems had, much better iLO, etc. Mid 2012 they finally came out with 25SFF / 10SFF chassis so that a decent number of internal disks can be provisioned, with SAS expanders embedded in the backplane. And most notably, at one point I complained to HP about their Smart Array HBA's not being able to do 3-way mirroring. I dunno for sure if they took my RFE personally, but the Gen 8 series of HBA's actually has that ability, something valuable I had not seen on products from Adaptec and LSI.
Granted, HP had some crappy CEOs, and on the low-end consumer stuff they race to the bottom with everyone else, but their servers are serious and arguably industry-leading.
Given the current product line, sure -- but the G5 / G6 / G7 systems had their share of suckage, including iLO systems that were painfully underpowered and sluggish. I demo'd a G5 system at one point and was incredulous that the PCI riser was attached to the chassis lid, such that opening the lid entailed ripping cards out of their slots. I think G5 and earlier systems also didn't come with the serial console working out of the box, which was a non-starter.
HP, Dell, and IBM systems still share a bit of anachronistic suckage: the serial console is a DB9, straight out of 1990. Sun's systems have used RJ45 connectors for *years*. HP refuses to even include or even spec an adapter for their DB9 consoles -- we had to try a bunch of different models to see what worked, then I bought 50 of the things.
OR, simply have the blind member join in a word or two after everyone else starts. These elaborate "solutions" bring to mind the whole NASA pen / Soviet pencil bit.
My ex and I once accepted an invitation to stay overnight from an acquaintance couple, when we were traveling to a city a few hours away from home for other reasons. They in fact did have a sex slave living with them (padlocked chain around her neck, always sat on the floor, submissive, etc), and the room they put us up in was the sex dungeon, with a massage-type table and an anonymous but securely-locked cabinet for the paraphernalia.
The wife's two sons thought the slave was the housekeeper.
So the next time you watch Portlandia, know that much of what's presented is real.
Also, every single time I've let someone use my browser session, they've immediately gone to the kill-window button when done and blown away what I was doing. Time and again, even after I explicitly told them NOT to, so I stopped letting anyone do it. OSX guest account works fine for my BIL, everyone else has brought their own device.

Proof that separation of church and state is a good idea.
Network throughput is almost always expressed in terms of bits, so assuming that unit is reasonable.
sudo is for lemmings, the sort who actually still use vi.
I would think that his best solutions would be to a) Use a chopper, surely he can afford one or b) Move back to Salt Lake City

So in other words, it should do what Solaris 10 did years ago?

Both of what? There's no antecedent to your post.

Monsanto sure feels that way, and their impact is a hell of a lot bigger than some lame niche company that makes games for kids.
