I've never had trouble returning opened boxes for swaps for duplicate copies due to bad media (sand paper will do that), then returning the un-opened copy...
AMD not of value? Are you insane? Why do you think Intel invests so much in making their chips better/faster? Hint, it's because they have competition...
"In any computer programming book, screenshots and other figures can be most helpful to the reader"... not me, I tend to find the BNF of the grammar the most helpful.
So, you need the machines out on the net to listen and crunch numbers... If you're microsoft, you just sneak a clause into the EULA on the next IE update, and all of a sudden you've got ~25% of the machines on the net at your disposal:-)
Huh, I read it as tossing a notepad at his boss and the notepad had something "bad" written on it. As in, writing down all the reasons you think you boss is a fuckwad on a notepad and then tossing it at his chest/belly area so that it's not painful, easy to catch, but still puts him off.
Well, since I was alluding to the Catholic church, with 1.31 billion members in 2007 (wikipedia) about the child molesting the community isn't that small:-) I gave our Catholic friends shit about the child molestation and asked why they still lent their good name and support to such an organization.
Islam is much less of an organization, but there are still leaders of the 'movement' and if your co-worker were to attend a mosque where such violence is not refuted or is even condoned or incited and he did not speak out against it or leave the mosque, then I would say he is culpable.
As for the US, Americans are responsible (partially) for the actions of our government, more than 50% voted to reelect Bush who engaged in a horrible war of choice. I think Bin Ladin's choice of violence in response to our policies was wrong, but I don't think he's wrong to hold Americans in general responsible for the policies of our government.
Sadly no, no numbers. I'll admit I'm "talking out of my ass" as far as good science is concerned.:-)
On the other hand, non scientifically, unless all the media I'm exposed to is shown to be _very_ biased, I'll continue to believe that there is more violence perpetrated in the name of Islam going on now and in the last 5 or even 10 years, than in the name of any other "single" (I'd count 'christianity' as a single for this) religion. But if evidence comes up and looks reliable, I'll change. I don't have anything in particular against Islam (other than it seems to be more violent), I think all religions are stupid and evil.
Agreed, but there certainly is a continuum of believers and level of indoctrination. The people at the "not so much" end of the spectrum should do more to hold the extremists' feet to the fire. Atheists like me can scream all they want, but since religions have in-built defenses against the "out group", people in the group tend to not "hear" it at all.
Why do people always cry 'racist' when people criticize Islam/Muslims. Belief systems are not "races".
Secondly, if a small community knew of the actions of a serial child rapist and did nothing to stop or punish the perpetrator, and in fact attempted to hide the crimes, would you not decry the actions of the _community_?
Certainly individuals who were in the community, but were ignorant of the crimes are blameless, but those who knew of the crimes and did nothing deserve some criticism. In short, I'm judging the other members of the community by their lack of action to repudiate the actions of the extremists, who at least _claim_ to be members of their community.
While the past is important, I'd like to talk about the present. In the present, muslims are more likely to kill in the name of their religion. I don't think their religion is all that is leading to that, obviously culture and poverty weigh in, but if all those muslims were Jains, I doubt we'd see the level of violence.
I don't think so, if my mail server issues a write to ZFS, and it returns that the data is on 'stable storage' (fsync symantics), then issues the "250 message received" to the client, then immediately crashes; either 1 the message is lost if the data wasn't really on 'stable storage', or 2 ZFS had to wait for the write to complete to the platters or the battery-backed cache on the raid card. I'm guessing just having to get to the battery-backed cache on the raid card would speed things up quite a bit...
If you didn't support legal action against the perpetrators, spoke out against attempts to bring them to justice, etc. then you _would_ be responsible to some extent. I'm not saying that the moderates can prevent all extremists from committing their crimes, but their condemnation of them should be loud and long. The extremists shouldn't be granted "cover under the banner of heaven".
You address this in your post, but your subject's assertion of course depends on your workload and how many spindles and cache you throw at the problem. I'd guess a Sun box with 48 drives and 64GB of memory could keep your network plenty busy, especially if you are just serving up say large archives of video editing projects to local storage @ workstations where all the seeking is going to happen. If you've got less disk than memory, then a "devil's advocate" program could always limit you to the thruput you can get from any individual disk having to seek to any particular block. But in the real world programs aren't like that, and you'll benefit from cache and multiple clients.
(email servers, which I work on, are almost as bad as databases wrt disk loading...:-)
I don't think speed is the right reason to go with a hardware raid card like 3Ware. The real reason to go with a hardware raid card is for the battery backed cache. A UPS can help mitigate that issue, but that doesn't help with kernel panics. You still have to trust the software running on the raid card to do the right thing in the event of a crash of the OS, but being able to trust that the data you sent to memory on the card is on 'stable storage', run the drives with the write cache on (unsure how safe that is, even with the battery backed cache), and still be sure of your data is _huge_.
Oh good, a person with real experience... Do you have any OSX clients? If so, does the AFP implementation/version support the latest version of the protocol? (Long filenames, etc) I tried to find the AFP version on the specs, but it's not listed, and the forum where you can ask pre-sales questions never mailed me my signup info. I assume because of the graylisting my ISP does.
Also, have you tried out any of the email packages? I'm interested in replacing my old NetBSD/Cobalt MIPS server (slow as hell), and so I'd want to install an email server (SMTP & IMAP at least), TMDA, etc.
Also, I wonder if I could move the http server to another port, or just run it on one of the interfaces and run Zope on the other one for external serving.
Basically, would I be happy with it as a general purpose Linux box, that just happens to have a really nice form factor for my purposes:-)

We did, and she's spent her entire life trying to live up to the destructive power of her namesake.
How about a cartoon of Muhammad having sex with his 9 year old bride?
Heh, I was reading and I got to Token Ring and I read it as Tolkien Ring. I thought, I'd totally take one of those "Tolkien Rings" :-)

Are there really any choices, or do we live in a deterministic universe?
If the moderates don't have a choice, do the extremists?
I certainly _feel_ like I have a choice as to whether to write this comment and post it or not.
Right, the filesystem wouldn't be corrupted, but data would be lost. Lots of people find that unacceptable :-)

The survey of young British Muslims seems to belie that statement.
Search for young british muslims support terrorism
No, Blacks and Muslims aren't the same, because Black is not a choice, but Muslim is.

I'd go to 10 drives with RAID6 and a good scheme for testing that all the blocks are good, and a remote backup.

The only shops that actually look at cost/GB as a measuring stick are small shops, or shops with very specific needs.
