@skt.smth: Good writing. Especially in the part of Castro not being the best politician, while Batista is of the worst kind.

@CherM2222: Oh, sorry, your logic is undeniable!

@redman042: What is revolutionary about it? Honestly, if you want to praise your toy, go ahead, but don't use such strong terms as 'revolutionary'...

@Joe Stoner: Where did you get this from? Phone is a huge gamble for them, but they are trying to get into the space, while the OS *is* their bread and butter and screwing in that department these days is a very bad idea.

I think it's risky because they've got Windows 7 out there - the most successful and praised version of the OS. So, to spend billions on building a new version while most enterprises are only planning to move to Win 7 is more than risky - will the customers upgrade? Will they stick with current version as most people…

@CaffineFreakUs: Hrmm.. You either a very die hard fan of hardware RAIDs or you didn't look into them much or you have some other reasons for what you're saying. Hardware RAID is actually more failure prone than software, believe it or not. Did you ever have hardware RAID setups? Did you ever see RAID controllers go…

@kazemizuhi: "And it's only 600 million years younger than the universe itself." I think the word "younger" is the key here... Am I wrong? The fact that it's 13 billion light years away from us means that the light we see now has been emitted 13 billion years ago (timewise), and since the latest and greatest…

@sweetelectro: If it'd be infinite, then it wouldn't be expanding, would it? :) But yeah, what is outside of the universe if it is still expanding, huh? Antiverse? :)

@Kobbra: Yes, I know what you mean. If you stop and think about that for a moment, it is mind blowing. Life itself is.

@kazemizuhi: 'Observable'? I don't think this has anything to do with what you can see in one electromagnetic spectrum or another, but rather with time. Since 600 million years is just that - a point in time.

@InsanePenguin: This was the first thing I thought when read original comment... :) It's a view from the 'other' side! ;)

@SEDAGIVE?!: Good one. It's all about greed in the power circles here, no desire to advance and move forward as species. Unfortunately.

@LaziestManOnMars: Why the hatred? Can't you just appreciate the technological marvel and be done with it?

@Johann Schmidt: Both USSR and US were sending probes to Venus. USSR managed to get way further in their research there, afaik, but US did a lot of research of the planet as well.

@Edmund Hershberger: As if nature has nothing to do with genders, gender behavior and roles. Good catch there.

@tomsomething: I think the 'climate' was one of the reasons there - there are too many interesting things happening in that atmosphere. Some say that Venus is researched even more than Earth in many respects.

@CaptainJack: There is a nice piece of software out there - FlexRaid, that does parity calculation on demand and is quite... well, flexible :)

@CaptainJack: When using a vast quantity of any drives I would not recommend any existing RAID solutions. Unless you're building multiple RAID arrays with 5-6 drives at most in each. And even then it's a problem. JBOD with clever parity calculation for data integrity is, in my opinion, is the only way to go.

@Tommy Five: Nice enclosure to keep all those drives will probably cost as much as the drives themselves. You do the economic justification of that.

@CaptainJack: Yeah, sure, you can get better looking file server, but think about the price. This wooden 'case' cost him nothing, but getting a proper case that would hold 50-100 drives would run you thousands.
