Except, of course, for an actual bullet made of silver.

I went AMD very recently when building a cheap home server, because AMD motherboards tend to have higher SATA port counts on consumer level hardware. They also don't make a habit of over-zealously disabling key features from the CPU like Intel does to differentiate their pricing structure (the lack of VT-X bit me pretty hard when my P7450 laptop arrived, and Intel documentation hadn't been released indicating the lack of VT-X at the time I purchased it). The Intel CPUs are faster, but that didn't mean much to me when the motherboard only has 2 SATA3 ports, and 2 maybe 4 SATA2 ports.

You should check out the Vaio Z with the Power Media Dock.

That may have been the original point, but these days RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks as they're most commonly used for uptime and performance using expensive equipment.

Spinrite doesn't appear to work on drives larger than 500GB as it uses a 16bit integer to count the number of cylinders. I'm in the process right now of trying to get data off one of my dying WD15EARS drives, and have confirmed that crash right when the cylinder count rolls over. HDD Regenerator seems to run, but has wrong numbers in the sector counts because it (apparently) uses signed 32bit integers.

I disagree. Daylight savings turnover has two possible UTC values for a given localtime during one of the transitions. During the other transition, there's an invalid localtime which doesn't map to UTC. The idea of attempting it is inherently flawed.

Refer to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal
Disclaimer, it's not without its own set of issues.

They do support using UTC for the hardware clock, but it's not the default. There's also been a long history of bugs with their implementation of it, I think it was really only reliably usable on Windows 7 era systems (patch backported to Vista SP2).

With that level of incoordination, I wouldn't want you on the road on a bike to start with... also, what's so special about the bike that makes you drop your keys that you don't ever drop when using a car?

I've been very disappointed with the WDTV. There's been a fair few firmware updates, but for each update that fixes one issue I've had, it breaks two more. The latest firmware actually causes my unit to lock up when playing about half of my media library (had to revert to an older firmware) and it appears the device has been EOL'ed so there's probably no more updates coming.

Hopefully SpaceX will eventually patent their technology so it isn't lost forever if/when the company goes out of business.
