In contrast to many of the posts I've read, for me, cutting out caffeine seems to be a trigger. I drink around 4 -6 cups a day and I've found that, whenever I try and quit, the panic attacks hit me. Could be withdrawal though. Lack of sleep is also a trigger for me. Too much alcohol.....planes.... I've always found things like taking deep breaths never work for me. I need to stand up, walk/get out of the place where the attack started and find myself an ice cold drink. Water..or preferably beer:).

14 drives in one RAID 5 set? The larger the RAID set, the more risk of you loosing 2 drives in quick succession before your hot spares redbuild completely. Of course, loosing 2 drives on a RAID 5 means your data is fsck'd. Its not uncommon for drives from the same factory lot to fail in this manner. I usually keep my RAID sets far smaller to negate this risk, even though it does cost me the extra drive for the other array.
Sometimes all you care about is the maximum performance you can get out of a disk subsystem. You might not care about data loss because you've some other means of taking care of it (backups, replication, network raid etc.), or the data is dispensable.
An example is a cluster of high performance database servers, with replication taking care of the data redundancy and a raid 0 disk subsystems because thats the best raw performance you can get.
Why does a successful artist think he/she deserves to be paid hundreds or thousands of times more than people who are highly skilled and perform extremely valuable services to humanity (surgeons, reserach scientists etc.) anyway ?
Maybe its time mainstream media in general realise that their industry cannot continue ripping people off forever like this.
Obviously, with physical media you have high production and distribution costs. But now I can (produce?) redistribute $X copies of a track over the internet for next to nothing. The industry has a far more efficient and cost effective distribution channel. Through this media, their productions costs have gone down dramatically and they can reach many more consumers. But the artists get paid less? How does that work? Surely they would make up for lower prices on volume alone.
They haven't lowered their prices. They continue to charge just as much for digial media as physical media _and_ have added DRM in an attempt to lock it down. All attempts will fail. Data files are not vinyl..they can be easily copied, cracked, converted etc. with no loss of quality. I don't need to get my CDs from a music store/car boot sale/friend anymore. Its all over. The internet has changed things. Get over it. Move on and find something else to suck the life out of.

errr..
Revenue means nothing.
His estimated net worth for 2006 is around $50 billion. I'm sure he'll notice.

I'll stick to my 4 year old thank you.
Is called hyposensitization. Worked great for my dust and pollen allergies.
I don't know. I don't care.
And that's not the point.
And that's exactly whats wrong with everything today.
Really?..How much should it cost? It should be free..... But human greed will never let that happen.
Hmm....
