Ha ha. Like my server a couple of years ago that had two mirrored drives (raid1) and both drives failed the same morning. Unfortuately, it is more than likely that you will have two drives fail at the same time and will lose data. Single drive redundancy is not good enough, which is why raid6 is being persued by so many people. But even raid6 is susceptible.
Gige is imperative for any decent network performance, but it's pretty cheap these days, so it's not a huge issue. I wouldn't bother with setting up jumbo frames since you always end up with alignment issues with the iscsi headers + data. And yes, I've been able to easily keep up with most FC hardware, with only sata drives on the backend. I've seen anywhere from 100MB/s (800Mb/s) to 118 MB/s (944 Mb/s) with a couple of fast sata drives on the target, and raided iscsi devices on the initiator (client). And those throughputs are sustained, not bursts.
I think it's only fair though that they use my public key to encrypt as well as their own. George Bush wants to snoop around my personal rrecords, then he can bloody well allow me to do the same to him.
You forgot to mention that it was a piece of crap that Micro$oft silently jsut stopped supporting. Let's just remove the web page and these people will jsut go away. It was the last piece of M$ hardware that I bought, and will remain so. As I recall, I ended up launching it out my front window into an adjacent alley when the shitty software locked up my PC for the last time.
On the bright side, I formatted my hard disk, and installed linux without the option to dual boot for the last time as well.
A flash site to view linux distros in action that cannot be viewed from a linux distro. Quality that. And yes, I know that I can download the ogg theora equivalent and watch that, but I'm lazy, and have grown used to youtube like video on the internets.
When is hell is flash 8 going to be available for linux? Yoohoo, macromedia, anyone home?
Holy shit, so seldom have I been so underwhelmed by a design change. Maybe that's a good thing, but there are a couple of design decisions that are downright horrible. One, your text font should be a serif font, not sans-serif. Second, the light gray bar to the left of the article descriptions is very distracting, and, imho, the design would be much cleaner without this extra deadwood.
Why the hell not make these designs available as themes and let us L^Husers make the choice?
Now who is being the 'asshat' (an annoying conservative attempt at humour if I've ever heard one). You asked a boneheaded question (for someone who has read "darwin" as you allege, note that I suggested that you read "dawkins", close, but not quite the same cigar) and there have been dozens of reasonably good responses, mine included, imho.
Oh yeah, you're a wankstain (seeing as we're flinging insults back and forth).
Somebody mod this guy up, maybe then he'll actually try to read about and understand the issues, rather than just shooting from the hip. This is such a bloody fundamental issue that if you do "firmly believe that evolution occured" (thanks for the vote of confidence, btw) then you are basing that belief on something other than evidence. Humans did not descend from chimps, no one ever said that (no one who knew what they were talking about, anyway). Humans and chimps share a common ancestor, the same as you and your sibling share a common ancestor in your parents, or more interestingly, the way you and your cousins share a common ancestor in your grandparents. Keep going back in time and you and George W Bush share a common ancestor.
Go read The ancestor's tale by Richard Dawkins, if you want to edumacate yourself.
Why are you a christian when there is no god? Doesn't it make you feel foolish to claim association in a group that has absolutely no historical or logical significance?
Of course, the real problem is that of someone on the inside selling the encryption key off to whatever criminal elements (outside of the Blair government, I mean) are interested.
The British really are striving to be America lite (note american spelling, increasingly popular in the UK. Good thing they have at least maintained their sense of humour.
They're just covering their asses for when the inevitable crash to the stock comes. Might as well cash in on the company while its price is still in nevernever land.
I'll work for 1$ a year, and settle for only 200 million in shares, if that's any incentive.
It's ironic that this article is not in the rss feed yet. Try and find the rss link on the slashdot site. I knew it was there, and with this new setup I had to add it again. The idea behind rss is very cool, very cool indeed. But in practice it is not quite yet ready for prime time.
For example, what the hell is up with firefox's use of LiveBookmark? Why is it such an unmitigated pain in the ass to add an rss feed to firefox? What is the problem with firefox's current (1.0.7) implementation of bookmarks? Okay, I guess I'm bitching here a bit about firefox, but its default implementation of rss is not yet there yet. That, and that alone, is the reason why only 2% of users are doing the rss thing.
Besides that, for some sites, clicking on a feed displays a menu with very little information. Slashdot is a good example, I can read a list of article titles via the rss feed (this article still not available), but you know, as with slashdot, I go there and scan the list and read the articles that I'm interested in, increasingly very few.
I don't know how to implement these things to improve the experience for the user, including myself. Someone with more experience in user interface design will surely have more to offer than this.
Erm, I think you'll find that someone who trained 20 years ago (like me) and finished their undergrad (like me) and then went on to grad school (like me) and finally ended up in the real world after many years of slogging in the ivory tower is in their mid-fourties (like me).
Freedom 55 is a lonnnnnnng way off, but 10 years goes by in a flash. To be honest, I don't know what I'll be doing in 10 years. I do know that at 45 it is increasingly difficult to focus on a programming job the way I used to be able to focus. One simply can't keep up those 18 to 20 hour days and stay sane.
We will see which license schemes succumb to their own self-importance. I predict that both Microsoft's and Stallman's extremes in GPL3 will sink to the bottom of the mire of open and closed licensing schemes. And good riddance to both, is what I say.
I have to respectfully disagree with you about ogg, if only because I have about 120GB of my cds ripped as ogg.
And my Neuros audio 128MB player does support ogg;)
BTW, I also expect to see more and more of the kinds of features that the original poster was looking for when the portable linux based hand helds start to become more ubiquitous. Hey, it might even happen.
Saxamaphone, reminds me of avamacado; not sure if that's a Homerism or not... it might have been a character on Coronation Street named Linda, some evil bint who was shacked up with Mike Baldwin for a while, but disappeared and as far as I know has never been found. I'll have to check that out.

Man, you need to take a fucking chill pill.
Read up on computers in the 70s. It was a simpler time.
Not really, it was a drunken time, but that's another story.

I'm happy to live here though, I just don't want you guys all coming up here en masse and discovering what a groovy place Montreal is.
And the women are topless ... oh wait, no, sorry, that's just my wife.
Hmmmm, butter.
