4/27 GOP purges itself of RINOs, gives Democrats filibuster proof majority: link:www.mercurynews.com/topstories/ci_12245273 \_ THis is not coming up for me. \_ Sorry, fixed. Mercury moves their stories, I should stop posting links to them. \_ Calling Specter a RINO is bullshit. \_ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2239675/posts The Freepers would beg to differ with you. \_ And the dude who sleeps on the empty lot outside my window screams about how the government is watching him. Insane people are insane! Shocking! \_ It is too convenient to label your political opponents as "insane." The Freepers and their fellow travelers are running the GOP now. \_ That's just because there's a massive power vacuum. This will change, probably within 2-4 years. Until then it will be some seriously dark times for the GOP. \_ Dark times for America, too. I voted for Obama, but it is not good that there is no credible opposition right now. Too bad we don't have a Lib Dem party, like the Brits. \_ The Democrats are their own opposition. If you don't like what Congress is doing, write to Obama. If you don't like what Obama's doing, write Congress. \_ Those Freepers are awesome. You can smell the spittle from here. |

4/28 Anyone here have experience with solid state drives in the server environment? I am mostly worried about reliability, longevity, and performance. I've read a couple of articles saying that OSes really need to be SSD optimized before this can be considered truly viable and yet every vendor from Dell to Sun to Apple is shipping these. Are they ready for prime-time on an important production server? \_ Theres been a lot fo advances in SSD recently toward load levelling (to spread the erase cycle wear) an overall endurance. They're actually a viable (if expensive) option now. Theres been some good work looking at using them for ZFS logs for zvols involving lots of slower storage. If you're looking at using htem now they'll probably be replaced due to obsolescence before they 'go bad'. -ERic \_ I'd still be a bit wary of using them for something like a high write db server, but yeah for user stuff go for it. |
