The advantages of open source software RAID

In light of a recent entry , I feel likesinging the praises of software RAID, especially open source softwareRAID. For the moment, let's set aside the performance and cost issues of software RAID versus hardware RAID, becauseit's honestly not what I really care most about.

Software RAID in general has two major advantages:

  • much more of what is going on is exposed, instead of being lockedaway inside a black box. For example, you are guaranteed to seethe raw disk status and error

千呼萬喚之後

聖誕節真是一個神奇的日子,甚麼人都可以在這一日,找到他需要的東西。比方說一個基督徒理所當然將此日作為佈道的機會,即使其實大家都知道,這一日並不是耶穌出世的日子,而最重要的是,對於信徒來說,耶穌不但出了

點樣令一隻Uncool的產品變番Cool?

「Hip-hop啦。」Formula通常就是這樣的,客戶會叫廣告公司或者廣告公司會建議客戶,搵阿MC YAN呀MC JIN呀MC DING呀MC THING呀如此類推,叫佢地出嚟攞住個產品Rap兩咀就諗住會—「得咗」。

道長得道之前

梁文道是中港台文化界的紅人,雖不算文采燦然,下筆大多清通多姿;他的文章見解獨到、題材多樣,從政治、時事、社會現象到電影、音樂、飲食和讀書心得,長寫長有,而且能保持水準,更難得的是字裏行間透發出的誠意。

Another demonstration of SSL Certification Authority (in)competence

Every so often, another SSL CA provides a demonstration that they arerun by baboons, and not very smart ones at that. Past demonstrationshave involved security, or the lack of it ; the currentone involves terrible business practices, which is arguably worse (atleast in terms of how large a failure it is).

Lady First 專欄(69)- 等待愛情

好多嘢可以用錢解決到,好多事可以憑努力去成就出嚟,但係,愛情係唯一嘅例外。

錢買佢唔到,努力亦唔係大晒,愛情唔肯現身,你做咩都冇用。

Yann Martel's Life of Pi chronicles the tale of a 16-year-old Indian boy moving to Canada.
