The mind is a terrible thing to waste. Sounds like you should take a few history classes and get educated. The NRA is probably the most important...

In which alternative universe is this? Last time I checked, every make and model AMD GPU was selling out as fast as they can produce them, mainly due...

No one is claiming that a one-size-fits-all solution exists. Good grief. Who are you arguing with?? ...

[torsionbar28]

"No one"? The big players (think Google, Amazon, etc.) perform checksum and replication of data in software. They don't give a crap about the...

Ext4 + Mdadm is about as rock solid as it gets. I won't be switching away any time soon....

[torsionbar28]

Who are you arguing with? Perhaps you missed my previous post where I said this:



False. You're wrong on so many levels about...

[torsionbar28]

Not sure how you reached this conclusion. There is effectively zero performance gain to moving your OS from spinning disk to SSD. Zero. I know, I've benchmarked...

[torsionbar28]

Yes it performs well, but at this paltry capacity point, what is the practical use? My PC and servers all boot from spinning hard drives still because...

The layout is a little bizarre. There are not too many x16 PCI-E cards that are half length. Most enterprise expansion cards are x8. Most x16 cards...

Yes, but can it play Tux Racer?

[torsionbar28]

Wrong, wrong, and wrong? You're O for 3. CentOS is based on RHEL, which is supported for 10 years. CentOS 6 and 7 codebases are both still actively maintained...

I think this is the part where many people (myself included) are confused. Fedora Server did not exist until very recently, Fedora 21 or 22 I believe?...

[torsionbar28]

I think Fedora Server's biggest problem is that its an answer in search of a problem. Red Hat already has an open source server OS. It's called Cen...

A Mid-tower ATX case, lol. For $350 I can buy a used iPhone and make phone calls. Can your build make phone calls? Or fit in your pocket?...

You must not have the updated microcode yet (not sure if intel will even be releasing updates for Westmere tho). The updated microcode just released last...
