10 seconds to recover from hibernation - by which time networking is up. But even that was just a quick guess... It could easily be less than that, I've never used a stopwatch.
What is weird (to me) about my vista pc, is that I can be streaming radio, lock the keyboard, (I do this at work when I have to step away) and it only breaks the network connection when I unlock it again.
Or they could just try hibernating their existing OS and get the same effect.
I 100% agree.
Except that waking my (brand new 2.0 Centrino core 2 duo w/2GB ram Vista Premium Vaio) laptop - or even just unlocking the keyboard causes the wireless connection to go apeshit. It takes up to a minute or even two to re-establish connection on my home network. And yes it is set to auto connect.
I do blame most of this on Vista, because my girlfriends Mac takes less than 10 seconds (same router).
It comes down to hiring good ethical employees and keeping them happy, that is all that is going to save you.
Exactly, but I would add that hiring good ethical employees, sadly, doesn't mean you really have to keep them happy. By their nature, the worst they will do if unhappy is leave. It may seem like an odd point, but I am in this boat myself. To illustrate:
Sure there are offsite backups but guess who creates those?
I create those. And a little hint, I'm nowhere near being CIO. Working for a web-hosting co, I have root access to literally thousands of servers. Yeah, those clients that pay us for triple redundant, globally load balanced servers with multiple instances of off site backups? rm -rf / ring a bell? Not only could I delete entire servers at a whim, remotely, I create all their backups and it would take me seconds to delete any record of them. I'm quite sure there are many others in this position as well.
Luckily for all involved, if I was ever that unhappy, I would just find a new job.
Moore's Law has nothing to do with storage? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moores_law Yes I know there are many variations on the original theme, but then, those were not postulated by Moore, were they?
Very true, but if we put our resources into developing technology to better utilize what is there, I am quite confident we could come up with something that would work without destroying the air quality or leaving radioactive waste for future generations to deal with.

Does that break the bank? And yes, I am aware, he may have to buy slightly more expensive memory to be compatible with his system. But you get my point, no?
That was the comment I was waiting to read, thanks. Just downloaded, installed, and I have to agree much faster so far for me as well. In particular I just tested closing multiple tabs and I am astounded. Eight tabs from pages filled with multimedia content load in under two seconds, where 2.0 would often hang with a dialog box asking if I wish to 'stop the script that is not responding' for even as little as two tabs.
Haven't had it running long enough to check for the memory use, but at this point I doubt I will ever look back, even if the extensions I lost never return.
My first cell phone is my only 'home' phone. No land line needed. The second one is paid for by my employer. Like hell am I going to do work email and be on call with a blackberry *I* pay for.
Interestingly enough many of my friends (and my girlfriend) are the same way. And my friends are adults (30's, 40's mostly).
TFA is titled "The ten most addictive online flash games ever made" Why then are three of the ten rated 2 out of 5 on their own addictiveness scale? A fourth is rated only 3/5... Maybe they should have called it "the first ten flash games we found links to"?
Not to disagree with your point at all... but I'm not convinced SF cable cars are an example that fit in with the rest. They run on cables. The motors are not in the cars at all. The conductor increases speed by "grabbing" the cable (which is constantly running at a fixed speed under the ground) with varying degrees of force. If you generated power by the braking action - it would not be able to be used by anything.
stopped every train, plane, and automobile in the entire country
you would NOT REDUCE emissions by 30%?
I tried reading all the responses to your comment, and one made some interesting points about coal use (among other things) in Canada. These seem like valid points, and I'm sure this was at least part of the point of whomever "quite simply told you" this.
My point would be this: whoever thinks 100% of the cars trains and planes don't make up 30% of the emissions in Canada is smoking CRACK.
My point was not about a *single company* data center with perhaps 10 or 20 servers. And certainly not implying people will not buy or use these drives. The GP was saying they would be priced high and aimed at data centers. In my experience working for a company with tens of thousands of servers is that the type of drive in TFA is not used by the market he thinks.
I did say it was my experience, obviously YMMV. And who said anything about buying the things?;) On the scale I am speaking of, everything is leased directly form the manufacturer...
A) These drives were basically designed for datacenters, so you can look at paying out the teeth for them.
Actually I doubt that. From TFA, they are 7200rpm SATA drives. In data centers this is really not what you will find. All servers in data centers are running 15000rpm these days. Mostly SCSI until recently, in my experience.
1. Are you serious?
assuming yes, then for how long. A butler of the caliber residents such as these desire in NYC on 24/7 notice can't be that cheap. (avg yearly salary * number of years expected residency + cost of paperwork involved with keeping said employee and other hassles)
2. Seriously? these are not mansions. they may be *expensive* for your tastes, but not too much above the price range of the area, and there are no butler quarters in any of the floor plans I saw.

Alas I did not know you were referring to his user name.
