In fairness, for the spec, they are pretty reasonably priced. Compare them to the equivalents from say HP, the Z420 and they are in fact cheaper. Obviously if you're building your own then you'll save a hell of a lot, but if you&#

> Graphing is not useful for monitoring, its useful for postmortems and planning. I'm sorry, I have to completely disagree with this point. Graphing is a fantastic way of visualising information to show trends, such as disk space gr

The manufacturer has some good information about the statistical likelihood of your drive failing within a certain time period and tunes the warranty accordingly. They do not know exactly when your specific drive will fail as this would req

In the case where you are able to make a choice about which job you take then yes you definitely should be held to account for that choice. Because it is a moral one. You had the choice of hacking for the good of people or you could join fo

I think its a politeness thing really - 9 times out of 10 the lecturer does not want to be there, rehashing the same boring old material again and again, and would much rather be working on their latest project. But they have to be there -

It certainly doesn't excuse your profound and distressing ignorance and belligerence. The facts are that you are not a pilot, were not there, have not received an official statement from the parties involved and are merely voicing an o

Are you actually kidding? "But until the probe returns data do not publish any papers purporting to know what the edge of the solar system looks like." I'm pretty sure that no decent scientist ever 'purports to know&#x27

Actually I think you'll find it makes use of hard links to files. Its basically a reimplementation of rdiff-backup, or it might be the other way round. I can assure you that no directories get hard linked, and I'm sure someone wil

Buggy is not nearly strong enough - supporting lots of mixed environments has given me ragequit levels of stress, precisely because Apple dropped samba and decided to write their own.

If nothing is worth anything then by definition everything is worth whatever you want it to be worth. My life is inconsequential from the perspective of the universe but from my point of view its pretty important. Also, you certainly do hav

Ah you guys. This is precisely the attitude that the article is talking about. The fact that you conflate most of the world with the tiny proportion of the world that has both money and internet and also the even tinier proportion that care

I think here you appear to be missing the tenor somewhat - I read the post as someone being so astounded by such a trivial and incompetent mistake in a product that touts itself as being anything but that he was reduced to a gibbering wreck

I can't help but feel that this is such an 'engineers' solution to something that isn't really a problem - whilst I agree that a cheap, reliable and efficient way to feed a lot of people is something that the world is sorely in need of, I c
