I think it's the microsoft 's worst os.

I assume you didn't have the joy to do tech support for Windows ME.
I rather have <censored> <censored> with a cactus up my <censored> then to work with ME again.

Been running Server 2008 R2 and 7 RTM for a while now and I have to admit they don't annoy the hell out of me like Vista did.

"It's a ICHx intel solution it's software raid. Now the combination of the Window driver model and RAID 5 kinda gives the same feel as playing russian roulette with 5 bullets in the chamber. (You might want to invest in a UPS)

"R0 = Striping You will get 2 times the smallest drive size with 2 drives. (RTFM)

You can't guarantee anything, if something goes wrong during the rebuild of the array your data is gone.
Also that R5 array isn't going to help if you corrupt the file system or your array gets wiped or killed during a "Oh no!" moment.
Are you sure you want to have a 1.5TB array using a wannabe raid controller?

"Your RAID config doesn't make sense..

R0 = Striping so you will have ~640GB of "do you feel lucky punk" storage.
R5 for the OS sucks ass because your writes will be slow or you should redirect all your temp folders / scrapdisks to the R0 array.

Be sure you get the WD drives that are suitable for a raid setup else you'll be playing TLER roulette with your R5 array.

RAID5 != BACKUP

Completely re-invents the preconception that websites should be static pages with text

Yes, why would we want sites that are actually usable?

It's very nasty to index via a search engine. So unless you are a wallpaper site visiting anime ge.. wait of course I meant a Japanese culture enthusiast, you will never find this site.

It's a perfect interface for a mail order brides like concept, just click at the pwetty pictures and add to basket <grin> but nobody will find your site anyway so why bother.

As male chauvinist pig sadly I am stuck in the fixed standards of gender binary.
But I respect the fact that you have taken it upon yourself to play the role of a moral anarchist willing to express this genderf*ck _*
We really do need more people willing to rattle the system.

So go for it girl !

"If you don't like drinking clearly, you haven't had enough practice.
It took me a while to value the taste of a finely distilled single malt Whiskey.
As with most things in life it's an acquired taste. ;)
Anyway, away with the pleasantries of good spirits.

I started fairly late consuming beverages that contain alcohol, (fyi alcohol is odor- and tasteless) mainly due to the following reasons; Drinking wine strengthens your cardiovascular system and the alcohol does not destroy brain cells but is often associated with improved cognitive functioning.

Though my former theory was(I admit this was philosophized after a few beers) that if alcohol indeed does kill brain cells the weak ones would be the first to go and by natural selection the strong cells survive.

But from what I can read, some of the posters clearly have a pessimistic "the glass is half empty" view of life. Feel free to do so but don't market it as the only righteous way of living.

Steven Spielberg's Adaptation of Ghost in The Shell

"Bla bla bla ... drool drool ... Some more Motoko Bla...
But we all know in the end it will suck.
Simply because there is no actress that can play the Major and there is no storyline compromise possible between the GITS die hards and the average popcorn munching brainless cinema visitor.

Besides we also know that Spielberg will skip the hot lesbian porn scene.. So no Jolie x Beckinsale x Winsles x Cheung... <grin>
