So if I breathe hot choking cigar fumes in your face, from my fat, dirty cigarillo, that's not assault? After all, all I'm doing is sending massive amounts of particulates (traffic) to make you choke...

See?! The rich get the edge on everybody else by getting the latest tech sooner. Lousy 1%'ers, priming the tech pump for the rest of us.

Let me guess, you're also a cage fighter, 6'6" tall, and have a 10 inch wang?

And all the other *Kits - for making things fancy and GUI and creating a generation of Linux admins who don't actually know how things work.

Did slashdot just die and silently come back up? I was getting 503's and "offline mode", logged in and out for ages, then suddenly its just working again. Anybody else experience anything like that?

Seriously, insightful?? Sarcastic, funny maybe, but I was definitely not being insightful! Next I'll be accused of having sock puppets!

You need to move all of those tables and chairs, I am trying to land...

I really, really hope apk will come on and tell me how "manly" I'm looking these days!

What, so in your own words, Mars shows no signs of life, except for farting, and Venus is very stormy and no-one can touch (land on) her? Sounds about right!

Maybe they'll do something neat like putting in one non-shingle platter.... (yeah yeah, cylinders, but still...) Or maybe everyone will do something really neat at the driver/OS level like putting one regular drive or one SSD in the array of shingle drives, and let zfs handle the optimization.

Personally, a 10TB drive would be perfect for many of us for the collections of .... stuff .... we have, that is write once and never write ever again, or if we do we don't really care about write speed. Any random read/write loads I have goes onto an SSD.
