I just went on Amazon. The red is $50 more than the black with the same capacity??!

All I know is the red are certified to be a good batch. The consumer?? You do not know if it is good or bad as Google had a team to know. You do not.

With SAS drives you have 2 data paths written and other enterprise level features in case a chip in the NAS goes out and a backup kicks in that the drive can keep going. Its firmware supports more protocols.

Sorry but the cost argument doesn't fly. To me it is not worth the risk and a $40 premium is a very small price to pay to know that when an outage hits the firmware doesn't lie about whether the data was written or not. Too much risk.

That's socialism!! I signed my pledge not to raise taxes etc

The cost of the drive is not the hardware.

It is how much will an outage cost? A few hundred more is pocket change. A piece of mind too. You claim you hqve data? I have data too. Go google Seagate RMA? Shitty defective drives. Even western digital has bad drive batches. The poster above says seagate and consumer drives failed within his own eyes. Sure if you got a good batch you are good I guess?? Would you bet your job on it?

Firmware for enterprise drives have logging and more advanced features anyway. Same arguments pop up over consumer vs professional cards in flamewars. One is slightly slower and 4x as much. why? It's drivers and firmware are certified to not have visual distortions when making a commercial or bsod on a project. It is worth the cost.

The price difference is not worth it anyway

But the conversation is obsolete as intel and Samsung are introducing enterprise ssds

Also when people think of super massive black holes they think of violent, scary, life suckling masses. Compared to the smaller ones they are tamer as they have such a great surface area that stars near there can stay for away from the event horizon for billions of years due to subtripical force and the fact gas gets pulled from great distances

No privatize in this way is more government. Government creates monopolies. Competition destroys them.

The city owns the sidewalk and can open it up if they want. But it is easier to shake hands with certain companies and hand them a monopoly.

The solution is not more government that created the problem but less every time.

Well why is it that we have illegals in the US crossing the border then? Why aren't Americans willing to do these jobs?

Yes they are lazy and I say this as one. They are unwilling to work or better themselves or keep a job long enough to have that resume to work out into a decent standard of lving.

Lost of people seem to be happy with adblock.
Think of it as as server side adblock, at the very least.

Also, with responsive design and everything, this would be a problem, but not a big one.

Libertarians are opposed to any title. Why can't we instead of creating monopolies who corrupt we can let competitor's come in.

Ignorant view of libertarians.

A libertarian will argue the government created these monopolies in the 1st place. The solution then is not more government. But less where competitors can come in and compete.

Are you sure?
It's hard for me to imagine an awesome CS person who struggles at math. CS is mostly math, or pretty close. Computability, regular expressions, automata, formal proofs, all of those are needed, in my book, to be awesome at CS, and I think you should be at least decent at math to grasp those.

No updating A will cause B to break. Turn off all Windows updates and freeze time march 2013. We will just hire more mcses to clean infections as they come as this is too critical to break etc.

One company a coworker interviewed hasn't ran an update in 5 years as it breaks some add on for exchange. They still run XP too???!

The more pain you make dependencies the greater to resistance to change. Look at IE 6 as an example?

There is a way to expand the model to the internet.

Say you pay a youtube subscription, and you get ad-free youtube, and for the same price, or for an additional, you get ad-free adsense.
That means you won't ever see an adsense ad again. The sites will still have the adsense code, and google will just micro-pay, based on your usage of their site, from your subscription money.

Doesn't look like a bulletproof strategy to me, but something like that might end up happening.

Additionally, those who don't use adsense would be at a disadvantage, because youtube subscribers won't be able to make ads go away.

Of course, the privacy implications of all this are huge, because you would be essentially logged in everywhere, and that's another service that google would be able to provide.

The general theory is the early Jupiter or Saturn entered the sun. Reason being we have a lot of copper and lithium that should not be there. Another large body slammed it into the Sun.

So it's not stealing. It's something else.

And you might want to get your analogy checked, I don't thing it holds. Maybe if it was potato soup + recipe or something like that. In any case, no need for analogies. It's easier to get it without them.

They are not stealing anything from anyone. The users didn't have any source to begin with, for example. They are not entitled to the source. The problem lies in the other end. Ubiquiti is licensing some code, and not complying with the license, by not providing source. This means they are not covered by the license.

This is plain, simple, copyright infringement. Not stealing, something else. And when you do it for profit, most people agree it's a bad thing. At least in the current context.

Let's see sleep finally worked, NT swapamatic o (n) algorithm replaced, indexer which caused disk to swap for hours until baked removed and replaced with instant search, networking smb fixed and almost 5 faster without drops, wddm graphics with aero multitasks where before the hour glass circle would wait with multimedia was fixed, and many others. Vista certainly wasn't ready nor baked
