What is the reason to go with Raid1 for the intel SSDs? My guess would be that the rate of Raid1-catchable failures of these drives is not considerably higher than the rate of, say mainboard failures or other failures that render the whole

Vln does this to a certain degree. They have diesel cars competing with petrol driven ones, they had the crazy delta setup with a narrow front, and now the brilliant front-wheel drive front engine setup with electrical assist on the rear.

Server-side chat logfiles that are distributed to all connecting clients? I've never looked into the protocol, but I'm pretty sure that one is lacking.

Do you see a realistical future for the protocol? How large would the motifications have to be to reflect a "decent" feature set for the current device landscape and user's expectations?

So, I don't do web or software development, let me tell you^W^Wrant about how chat in 2015 feels to use. I'm 27, I grew up on IRC, I know my ICQ UIN by heart. Chat has always replaced SMS for me, and most groupware as well. I was

To tangentially answer your question (with only little relation to the rest of the thread), we're getting old much the way Japan does, and we're doing very little to help it. The average German is 45, ageing to 50 in the next 15 y

Actually part flex during the build process is much more of a problem with milling and sometimes turning. There simply is a set of "forbidden" geometries where the tool would destroy the part, so nobody does them. The difference,

I could imagine more TX power on the balloon (nobody's in the way so it shouldn't do damage), as well as more sensitive RX antennae, since there isn't the same size or weight restriction as on an airplane or a satellite. Come

Not at all. I'm using a GPU via ExpressCard with a single lane. 10 GBit/s is plenty enough. The question is whether it DMAs correctly, and whether it's actively disabled by intel again (as with Thunderbolt).

Even $100B is not a reason to dump money mindlessly. I generally don't trust moves that seem purely driven by money (e.g. facebook's VR hiring spree), and which don't have a clear goal in mind, and a strategy along the way. G

There's still a difference between finding the weakest link in a big chain and then attacking into it, and creating large amounts of features out of thin air. The latter is not any more difficult, but it requires one or two magnitudes

This article certainly resonates with me. For a long time, tablets never made sense to me. I've had 13" laptops for a decade now (iBook G4 12", MacBook 1st Gen Intel, Lenovo X220), and they were always highly portable and had
