Did you see the numbers on some of those seagate batches?
Now while I admit that 300 or so drives isn't really enough to warrant a sample size when some of their batches are in the tens of thousands, but if you get 300 drives and almost 70 of them die within a year, would you keep buying drives?
"More work is still needed to define policies that would allow array users and manufacturers to detect unusually disk failure rates and take the appropriate actions before any data loss takes place." - Last line in the conclusion.
This implies that not all the spare drives are active and ready to go all the time and that some/most would be kept powered down as cold spares. Of course this same guy is likely to get another paper done where he examines the cost to run the array and how many drives could be left cold and still achieve the 5-9s reliability. Heck, if the software managing the drives is smart, it would rotate active/spare drives in and out, working them in quickly to get them all past the 'first 18 months high failure' rate to the sweet spot, then swap in and out over the lifespan of the array to enable the array to be at highest reliability for longer.
Hrmm, maybe I should look at building such an algorithm, a quick google search doesn't turn any such systems up.
Those are the ones outside of the special viewing room. They look grim and apathetic because they aren't in that room masturbating.
So cute, does your mummy know you use that language?
I run two PCs with three displays. I typically use Synergy to mouse/keyboard share between them but, in case the network has issues, I keep a wireless controller hooked up to the second PC and the mouse/keyboard are in a drawer in the desk.
And such is the fickle nature of the mods.
On topic, people would have to note statistically, every molecule of H2O has at some time been inside a creature. So we are all drinking sewage/waste/carrion water.
Pretty sure those old scopes ran winNT, not 98 (for obvious reasons)
If I remember rightly you could use a mouse/keyboard with them, so controls would be simple.
As for why vectorise it? Why not!
Except they aren't in the middle
Man in the middle means to dupe both ends of the transaction that they are talking to each other correctly while injecting your own data into it.
What they are doing is a redirect to another page that asks you if you would please answer this question so that, when the deadline arrives, they don't have to restrict/disconnect your service.
Typically, when doing such things, you check the user-agent.
Their aim is to ask people a simple question. If the people had already replied to it they wouldn't get the page. If they select an answer they wont get the page in future. At worst it would be considered using a morally ambiguous technology to accomplish a neutral end.
Pfft, of course they are better screws. They are both more expensive and annoying to operate, just like other Apple Iproducts.

The whole point of Thunderbolt (and Firewire before it) was that they didn't put any load on the CPU at all, they would communicate directly to ram, reading and writing data without any load on the very limited resource that is the processor. Of course, there really should have been a boot-time restriction of what memory the bridge has access to, but I guess that would have been too much for the programmers.
That is the issue. Windows on a laptop should specifically ask you if you want to install updates, because when you need to grab your laptop and run, you don't want to wait for twenty minutes of updates first.
I would suggest using Hibernate instead since it powers down the machine, when you see the "I am going to delay you" indicator on the shutdown icon.
Really? Those same engines are tested by firing frozen chickens into them while they are running.
I solve practical problems. Like how do I stop some mean-ol' mother-hubbard from [figuratively] tearing me a structurally superfluous behind?
The answer, is a pun.
And if that don't work... use more pun!
