Shorter release cycles also means less radical changes from release to release. So, add-on developers should in theory have to do less work with each new version as compared to 3->4. The same goes for web developers, I doubt any radical changes will be done to Gecko in release cycles as short as 6 weeks.

I've been using 8 x 2TB WD Green disks in RAID 5 (mdadm) on a JBOD controller for a while now and I've never had this happen. Maybe the controller keeps them spun up at all times or that WD has fixed it in firmware (since all these disks were manufactured in June 2010 or later). Either way, disks never drop out of the RAID and sequential read/write easily exceeds 300MB/s.

Infinity Ward Lead Developers Axed Unexpectedly 276

Posted by Soulskill from the let's-blame-the-dedicated-server-fiasco dept.
RogueyWon writes "Kotaku is reporting that Infinity Ward, the development studio behind Modern Warfare 2, has been at the center of strange events recently. Jason West and Vince Zampella, two lead developers, have been fired by parent company Activision for 'breaches of contract and insubordination.' Speculation is rife as to the reasons behind this; following Modern Warfare 2's spectacular sales figures, it seems unlikely that the studio's performance could be to blame."

Submission + - Playstation 3 glitch fixed; due to erroneous leap (itworld.com)

An anonymous reader writes: A quick update on the widespread Playstation 3 glitch. As of tonight (Monday, March 1st) the problem has resolved itself. I powered up the PS3 to find the clock was set to April 29th, 2020, but once I went into the system menu and and set the system to set the date and time via the internet I got an accurate date. That seems to be the test of whether your PS3 is 'fixed' or not; Sony says you should be all set.

Set up a server at home or rent one where you can run OpenVPN and/or SSH and tunnel your traffic through it. OpenVPN supports LZO compression aswell, which might help a bit when you're low on bandwidth. I would also suggest that you encrypt the drive on your netbook with TrueCrypt or similar software in case you loose it.
