Submission + - Computer Science Master's -- M.C.S or M.S.? 3

Submitted by spiffmastercow
spiffmastercow writes: After discovering that my Computer Science BS basically only qualifies me to code web apps (at least in the eyes of employers), I have decided to go back to school for a Master's. I have two options available to me: an online M.C.S degree program (associated with a brick and mortar school), or an Applied Mathmatics M.S. degree from a local school, where I will have to take about a year and a half of classes just to meet the entrance requirements. So my question is. do employers care about the difference between M.C.S. and M.S.? Is the M.C.S. a detriment if I decide to continue on to get a Ph.D.?

Submission + - SSDs in a SAN

Submitted by spiffmastercow
spiffmastercow writes: The company I work for has decided to upgrade our database to a clustered system, and we need a SAN. The database is fairly small (~30GB), but is built in such a way that searches are very IO intensive. We're considering SSDs for the drives. Has anyone had any experience using SSDs in a RAID or ZFS array? How well does it work? What are the drawbacks? Is drive wear as big of a problem as it once was with SSDs?
