Now when I say my peak rates are less than 25% of broadband speed, maybe I can get some sympathy

The spare platter strategy does nothing to reduce this failure mode. In fact, all modern disks already have spare space for bad block relocation.
Including pretty much everything with an onboard controller. "Modern" is understating the case.
If I were expecting an array to last a long time without being touched, I would expect it to have a whole bunch of spares that never even got heated up until they were needed, just sat there in the box enjoying living in a relatively temperature-constant environment. Sure, there's fluctuations, but they'll all be within the operating temperature range of the drives.
It's not all about you. I'm talking about
...so it's all about you?
How'd you get a blank post past the lameness filter?
My point is that the "year of the Linux desktop" won't be because of "normal" Linux, but rather Chrome OS.
A cellphone phone is a thing and it's usually connected to the internet. An internet of things no less.
I'm pretty sure that you know that these "things" are things which have a purpose other than being a computer, which a cellphone doesn't. (POTS being obsolete today, though still useful)
Or maybe people just used the term "embedded" previously and are now using "IoT" because of it being fashionable
Many of those embedded systems don't even have network interfaces, let alone are capable of participating on an internetwork using TCP/IP.
Smart, but if we're going to substitute the jobs of editors with Google then maybe we should go all out. Instead we're paying useless editors
Who is this 'we'? I run adblock (and I'm eligible to have ads disabled anyway) and I don't recall ever cutting Slashdot a check.
As if "the internet of things" is somehow more special than the idea that as the tech gets cheaper, more and more things will connect to wireless networks.
Yes, the idea is that this time has come. It hasn't, but believing that it has will usher it in as the increased demand produces the parts we need to actually do the thing. In the meantime a lot of startups will rise and asplode.
I output Toast.
...pooh-pooh the entire idea, but then I realized a recent project of mine was putting various aspects of my salt aquarium's systems on my LAN using an RPi+.
So I'll just crawl back in my hole now.
At least I became aware of a new (to me) acronym.
c'mon man, don't mess it up
it's called the IoT of Things
I was saying that it makes a lot of sense for Facebook not to allow pictures of Mohammad in Turkey. Just like they don't allow boobies in the USA.
It doesn't "make sense", it simply retards social progress by keeping neurotics from considering the darker corners of their own thought processes. I mean, seriously. "Boobies bad"? That's just... pitiful. I am perfectly ready to describe anyone who isn't pleased by the sight of a nice pair of boobies in any neutral, humorous, peaceful, appreciative or loving context as a broken human being. One for whom I have sympathy and pity, but in no way does this engender any urge to force the world into a form that serves to insulate them from the toxic processes of their own twisted psyches.
As for drawing Mohammad, your assertion that there is no purpose but offense is wrong out of the gate. Art is one reason, political commentary is another, historical illustration is another, simple choice is another, and yes, offense is one but that doesn't make it an invalid use.
