These days it is getting harder for administrators to make the right choices. Only a couple of years ago, you could either eke out the budget for a sophisticated SCSI RAID solution, or put together something rather simple using ATA products. However, the first ATA solutions were hopelessly inferior when compared to any SCSI products. The SATA revolution has changed this dramatically, and today the latest SATA II armada of powerful and cost effective solutions is about to sound the death knell for the vast majority of classic SCSI domains.

Sounds good to me, SCSI Disk drives are just ungodly expensive. I think we have the choice of filling out the disk space in our DL380’s -or- we could buy a couple more ata servers for the same price. Complete.

Google
Base made an appearance yesterday and then quickly went dark. This new
Google service is going to be offering some interesting database type
services, which I am predict just from a quick look of a screen shot
that was captured may compete with Craigslist and other social
applications.

Ahhh Quotes…
Usually they are meant to inspire. Some do some don’t. As I bump into worthy quotes, good, humorous or what not I’ll post them here.
“A vision without the ability to execute is a hallucination.” - AOL’s Steve Case
“Great firms don’t try to be good at everything, they choose where to dominate the competition.” - R.C.
“There is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals.†Some wise man said that, a Judge I think.
“Some say Google is God. Others say Google is Satan. But if they think Google is too powerful, remember that with search engines unlike other companies, all it takes is a single click to go to another search engine.”
-Sergey Brin
“Everywhere is walking distance if you’ve got the time.” - Steven Wright
“There is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals” - Justice Felix FrankFurter
I still have friends who persist in pointing out how fantastic GIMP is. GIMP is not fantastic. GIMP is “free”; “Free” is not (contrary to popular belief) the same as “good”. Herpes, for instance, is generally free (unless you got it from a hooker or your ex-husband/wife, then you most likely paid for it one way or another). Herpes is generally not too useful for anything, people are usually not to happy about getting it and coincidentally, herpes flare-up is just about as erratic as GIMP’s stability.

Trying to build a RAID array out of IDE drives is like auto racing Yugos. Sure, you can do it, but it doesn’t impress anyone and it’s not very fun to watch.
- David McNett Nugget’s Law: 95% of the time when a Linux user says “Linux” they really mean “Unix”. The other 5% of the time they’re referring to an aspect that only applies to their particular distribution
Leto’s Corollary: 95% of the time when a Unix user says “Linux”, they really mean “RedHat”.
