    LSI Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA HBA and RAID cards)

    If it's an LSI branded MegaRAID controller, then no, RAID 5 and RAID 6 functionality do not require a key. Some OEM branded devices may require a key. As far as RAID migration from SAS1078 to SAS2108, possibly, but this has nothing to do with RAID 6 keys -- the DDF may be different with a...

    LSI Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA HBA and RAID cards)

    That's called band-gap charging and it will increase the life of the battery.

    Now that Haswell is out, I need help finding a new convertible tablet PC

    This is what prevented me from buying Sony's overpriced haswell offering, that and their issues with shipping units. Sony better enjoy the revenue stream for now, as soon as the competition arrives their sales will shrink unless they drop the price to reflect the form factors limitations.

    WANTED:Touchscreen Laptop intel 4th gen

    Wait... Seriously, 4th gen was just announced.. Most vendors will not have a "flagship" offering ready for 3-6 months (some maybe later). If you can't wait, Apple and Sony seem to have units available now (or soonish). Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Razr, Sony, Samsung, and Toshiba have all...

    Laptop with good battery life

    Haswell (Crystalwell, Broadwell and thereafter) will, undoubtedly change the landscape of mobile computing with regards to the dichotomy of power-performance/battery life, but as of yet the options are slim. You may find larger, performance minded laptops (such as Maingear Nomad 17) with 7500...

    The Five Stages of Data Loss Grief

    A few years ago I went through each of these phases, but after that I learned my lesson and now only experince 2 of the 5 steps. :P Seriously, as of today my workstation has a RAID 5 for just my documents, music, movies, photos, and work related materials; I have an external 1.5 TB drive for...

    Census Time Heightens Privacy Concerns

    This is patently false. A 72-year privacy law, part of Title 44 of the U.S. Code, prohibits the census from being publically viewable until April 1, 2082. It has been this way since the 1930's. Really, do most of you just take everything you hear off the tube at face value? Or are you just...

    Census Time Heightens Privacy Concerns

    According to the Constitution? The decennial census was not included in the Constitution until 1790; 3 years after the creation of the “original” Constitution. Several congresses and courts since that time have firmly stated that the census CAN include statistical information—which include race...
