I know that full well, however I do not have the time to look for compatible hardware, find decent prices for it and then put it together. Hence I would prefer an "out of the box" option, where I just need to install stuff and not worry about the "putting it together" part.
So, -7.2% in "physical" sales and +9.2% in digital sales. Overall "growth" was -4.2%. I do not think that there is a reason to complain about that:
Semiconductors lost 12.9%:

Random or sequential data? Do you really need super fast random access? 2 Gbps is doable with regular drives, maybe add some SSD cache just in case. For USD 40k buy something with support, instead of rolling your own. I know that the latter is more fun.
I would love to move my FS to ZFS, however I have a couple of questions:
1. If I wanted to keep "folding" on my Fileserver, I should go with BSD instead of Solaris, shouldn't i?
2. Which ZFS features, if any, do I lose by using BSD vs Solaris?
3. What level of sophistication is required to...
Lovely setup. If you have the time, why don't you write a small how-to for it. I would love to replicate something like that, but I am lacking the time to scavenge together all the knowledge that I would need for such a project.
I was wondering the same thing. If that step is made out of 250 lbs of "very thick glas" I can hardly imagine the size of the snapple bottle required to demolish it...
Not wire fraud
British law doesn't apply in the USA. At least it hasn't for quite a while
On topic: quite amusing call, though I thinks he is fear mongering a bit too much.
Has anyone tried folding -bigadv units on a vmware ESXi server? The free edition only supports 4 CPUs, so I assume that I would need some major overclocking to get it to work?
What are you trying to test? Performance? Data integrity, i.e., does it still work?
What factors would determine "goodness" for the test that you desire?
If I have a flakey HDD, I usually just hook it up to a linux system and see if I can copy data to the entire disk using "dd". If that doesn't...
nope, it was invented so that we could have endless discussions about its benefits in the Disk Storage Systems subforum :D
It does help with "large" linear loads.
Glad to see that I am not going mad. When I first saw the building I thought: That's CMU. And good to know, it is :)
Neat idea, but I am not sure how it is supposed to help drivers unless we have a "boom camera" hanging off the front of the car.
IIRC this definition of broadband has been in existence a while now. I recall taking a class on telco regulation back in 2005 and this is what the FCC called broadband back then.
Seeing that it is a government agency, we all know how slow they are in updating.

What utter rubbish. Most women are not excited about technology, hence they have no interest spending the whole day working with it. Additionally, most IT jobs require the employee to go the extra mile at times; it is not a 9-5 job.
From my impression, IT jobs are often of the type...
From my limited understanding of libraries, you could achieve similar/identical behavior in Linux using symlinks (searches with find would need -L as an option*) or in a previous windows version using shortcuts.
* -L Follow symbolic links. When find examines or prints information...
I am having a hard time understanding the value of libraries. My impression is that they eliminate a couple of clicks when saving a file, since they aggregate multiple locations into a single namespace. I already do this with shortcuts and it works quite well.
Additionally, they add the folders...
Actually, I love email shortcuts, which makes life a lot snapper (e.g., Lotus Notes). However, the whole idea of shortcuts is that you do not need to move your hands off the keyboard in order to perform an action, i.e. a reduction of movement waste. This product, however, increase the amount of...
so there is a new, interesting development on this issue: my card does not work either. I get a ton of mvs_abort_task errors and apparently, I am not alone

While streaming video is nice, I don't think it'll take off until people can rip the streams. The nice thing about DVDs is that I can make a backup and watch the stuff on my time.
