  1. Re:Depends on usage patterns on Hardware RAID 5 Performance Configurations? · · Score: 1

    IIRC during write you have to read from just two disks: the one where the data goes and the one with parity. Using the difference from the old data and the new data you can recalculate parity without reading the other disks. So for each write on RAID you need two disks read and two disks write.

  2. Re:Well....From the TFA- on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    It was a design error on the S2 unit. We just lost the Korean branch of NERV, :-)

  3. Re:Some info on APR ... on APR 1.0.0 Goes Gold · · Score: 2, Informative

    Another interesting site is Accelerating Apache Project. I don't know why this approach was rejected by the Apache Group. I used their State Threads Library with success.

  4. Re: getting better on MS admits Newsbot Biased Towards MSNBC · · Score: 1

    The use of cookies to track the news you selected is a good ideia as it can fine tune your preferences.

  5. Re:Here's one way to get the most from it on Is A Catch-All Address Worth The Spam? · · Score: 1

    I think you can do even better than this. Use valid user e-mails for your domain and feed the catch-add address to train spamassassin what is spam :-)

    It works great!

  6. Re:Spamgourmet (antichef) and SpamSieve on Spamassassin Beats CRM-114 In Anti-Spam Shootout · · Score: 1

    Some sites, even online newspapers, refuses address from spamgourmet.com :-(

  7. Re:Why don't people use catch-all accounts? on Spamassassin Beats CRM-114 In Anti-Spam Shootout · · Score: 1

    Delegate it to someone else.

    For years I used user+site@acm.org as my main e-mail address. When a spam came I just had to block the +site address.

    Since <A HREF="http://www.acm.org/">ACM</A> is a big organization they have the resources to handle most of the e-mail for me. They block spam and virus and for free since I am an ACM member :-)

    P.S.: <A HREF="http://www.ieee.org/">IEEE</A> does the same!

  8. Re:They didn't just randomly delete stuff on Debugging The Spirit Rover · · Score: 2, Informative

    It seems to have two differente flashes: a larger for new files and a smaller one for programs. This would make it easier to manage.

    "...Separately, about 230 Mbytes are used to implement a flash file system..."

  9. Re:2.0 can still have its uses on 'Moss-covered Tortoise' 2.0.40 Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    The chances a HD survive the deceleration/impact phase of the journey are slim. Maybe, and a BIG maybe, a tape drive could survive.

  10. Re:Anything broken? IP Masquerading. on Meet Linux Kernel 2.6.2, 'Feisty Dunnart' · · Score: 5, Informative

    I had the same problem. The patches found at http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes solved the problems.

    I intend to send a "minimal" patch to Marcelo soon.

  11. Brace for impact... on Armageddon... in 2014. Almost. · · Score: 1

    if we survive, I am looking forward for the third impact in 2015 (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

  12. Re:8 Years?? on Samba Exploit Discovered, Fixed · · Score: 1

    I think this is *THE* major point of Open Software quality. This is not anonymous code. Someone is proud enough to put his/her name on it.

    Use the mighty lynx...

  14. Re:Corn is one source. Direct synthesis is another on Ethanol Not A Total Loss · · Score: 1

    Methanol may be easier to produce but it is toxic.
    But you can drink ethanol (and some people do).

  15. Re:Used since 1996! on The Future Of The 2.0 Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who still uses Windows 3.11! He has so many (old) softwares that he can afford to upgrade them.

    Nowadays his most used software on this machine is an X11 emulator to his linux machine :)

  16. The Kobayashi Maru on James Doohan Not In A Coma and Likely To Survive · · Score: 1

    As a world class engineer, Scotty has the best solution to The Kobayashi Maru. It is worth reading. Really funny.

  17. Don't forget the lights! on The Computer History Simulation Project · · Score: 1

    My first machine was a PDP-11/40. All those twinkling lights. Just loved it! What a pleasure to program in assembler! What a shame I can't find the original OS (DOS/BATCH) for it.

    Join us at the PUPS to save this beautiful little machines from extinction!
