"Michael Chu, the guy behind Cooking For Engineers and lead architect at Fanpop, writes a lot of pointless stuff on his blog, but, today, he posted an interesting summary of popular RAID configurations. His post is easy to read and fairly well written, plus, as a bonus, he explains how to remap a drive letter in Windows Vista to a specific folder (on his RAID). Hint, it's the same as Windows XP, Windows 9x, and DOS."

"Michael Chu, from Fanpop and Cooking For Engineers, wrote an interesting and thought provoking article on the types of time travel found in literature and movies and how it related to NBC's Heroes. His critique of Heroes? The early episodes involving time travel did it in an intelligent manner with respect to causality, but this week's episode "Five Year Gone" puts them on shaky ground using hackneyed techniques that don't restrict the writers to reality."
