  3. Re:Very Useful Software on DRBD To Be Included In Linux Kernel 2.6.33 · · Score: 1

    We use it only for mirroring the Databases, for mirroring files we use Mogilefs and other methods. The problem with DRBD is that once the primary is down, to check both machines and decide if is OK to resync the disks takes a lot of time, And only DB needs the low latency mirroring in our case.

  4. MogileFS on The Technology Behind Last.fm · · Score: 1

    Beyond that, our streamers are all running Linux and using MogileFS -- which is an open-source distributed file system, which is a little bit like a software RAID system.

    They're also not so bright that my SO's keeps me up if she wants to stay awake longer.

    Yes, I use the low watts type, at my bedside too. the best part is that are cool enough, that the lamp fall and stays on, it will not burn the carpet or the bed cloths.

    But the potencial is high with more bright bulbs like this one from Toshiba that are as bright as 40watt incandecent bulbs, in Japan it costs about $90:

  12. Re:Because... on Paid Online News Venture Fails To Get Subscribers · · Score: 1

    The cost simply hasn't been pushed directly onto the consumer, and instead people have gotten used to a strictly indirect approach(ie ads).

    But the newspaper model is the same, the price you pay for a newpaper can not pay the costs. The ADs pay the costs.

  21. Classical definiton of Living Organism on Viruses Infected By Viruses · · Score: 1

    For the classical definition of Living Organism, the virus are not alive; but is that definition correct? Virus contains DNA and reproduce by theyself. Although Don't eat, don't grow. But is not just an death element.

    Well any good definition to Living Organism?.
