Comment FWIW RAID is not a replacement for backup (Score 1) 393

Figure I should mention this here. Once had a "media" server with RAID 5 across 3 250GB drives. Thought this was pretty resilient to failure until some sort of freakish motherboard event happened, rendering all the drives corrupted. RAID is great for fault tolerance/high availability like keeping a system up in the event of a single drive failure, but a mirrored machine in a remote location is the only thing that really is safe.

Map of Web Content By Perspective 79

An anonymous reader writes "Cruxlux has a perspective-based search engine up. It provides a map of results laid out by viewpoint. For example, querying 'Obama' shows a map with liberal blog posts, articles, and video clumped together, conservative stuff nearby, and nonpolitical sources farther away. It works for nonpolitical queries too (sports, etc.). It also lets you limit results to certain types of views — you can focus on hot 'Obama' content from a liberal angle, for instance."
