ZFS uses block-level checksumming for every block. The auto healing can be used when there is a second copy or another way to rebuild that block, read Raid-Z. So you get the auto healing already when using mirror.
Painful truth on why venture capital firms reject startups
I have used zfs-native on Ubuntu and Fedora a year or so ago for less than a month and found it to be unusable at best - I couldn't even copy my data from source to the backup ZFS disks - just went into a loop with high CPU. That may have changed a bit with later releases but I just don't think getting ZFS to scale and run reliably on different OS is going to happen anytime soon given how much effort and skills it would take.

What I am looking at doing is getting/building Solaris compatible box for my backup needs - that is a daunting task. But if I could do that I can run one of the OSS variants of Solaris - Joyent SmartOS, Nexenta etc..
The old FUSE driver used to perform pretty poorly but I havent used it in a while.

I've been using the native linux kernel driver (obv not in-tree but easy to install) and it's fantastic, I see no slowdowns at all. Whatever performance hit is there if any is worth the benefits :)
Neither is a bad choice. I'm partial to Clojure, specifically because it does integrate well with every Java library known to man. Starting out, there's a real Pavlovian benefit in being able to do something cool that "just works", and figure out the underlying principles later. It's fairly easy to take Clojure and integrate it with your machine learning library of choice, or a web framework, or Hadoop. Haskell has some of those libraries as well, but the advantage is that from the beginning you're exposing yourself to polyglot programming and it's easier to mix in some raw Java, or JRuby, or Jython...
I don't understand why putting "OK" first makes it a more deliberate choice. Why does it take more effort to get there? If a numb user's objective is to make it go away as quickly as possible they will become trained to where the "OK" button is and click it without reading anything else.

There was a Top Gear episode that looked at the history of the location of the pedals, and tried to find the first auto that laid them out the way we are used to today.

What was shocking is the enormous variety before then. Just about any of our familiar controls (including some others before we really got a good transmission system) could be on any of your 4 limbs.
Cool. I plan on doing something similar in future. One thing though:

Running the FS off a USB stick is a bad idea. No write leveling so its only a question of time before it bombs out.
Ah, there go my hopes, dashed. Thanks for the input, I'll try it on a disk I don't need and see if it's unusable, thanks again.
This actually is reasonable since US is the only country with `america' in its name. Other countries have fancier names that can be used to easily recognize them.

Recently read http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/economics/it-all-began-with-a... where Yanis Varoufakis, an economist, is studying in-game economies. And now this where South Korea bans trading virtual goods since "The main purpose of the games is for entertainment... item farming for commercial gain is a “serious hindrance” to a “healthy gaming culture”".

Isn't it same as banning sale of alcohols/drugs since they can be harmful? It will push the activity to go underground.
Sounds very complicated compared to the UK. You can set up a company (limited liability), here, over the internet, for about £15. If you're in Europe that's usually the preferred approach for a lot of small businesses; indeed, it is the most tax efficient way of operating for businesses that're in the UK as it shelters your person from creditors and liabilities compared with a simple sole trader arrangement. A lot of accountants will do a monthly package deal to manage your company's books and the accounts for you if it is simple, which it invariably is for most IT shops.
I have about the same setup, but i built my server from scratch have 62TB and I run FreeBSD 9 (plus SSD for os). OS reliability wise and ZFS maturity FreeBSD > Ubuntu. You'll have virtualisation through virtualbox if you'd like to too.
But I prefer to separate the storage and virtualisation platforms (do one thing etc).
In some ways BSD is easier and more logical in it's setup and administration, plus you'll have better documentation on the site and higher signal-to-noise ratio in the forums, if you need help.
Arguably, though, what makes a default "sensible" depends on how the technology is being used. I'm speculating here, but it could be that there are settings that greatly increase performance with < 1000 connections, but greatly degrade performance with > 3000 connections. In that case, would it not be a sensible default to start out with the fast, lower scale option?
Actually, 12.04.1 comes out on August 23rd, and LTS users are encouraged to upgrade to the first point release (which would presumably have some useful fixes). Indeed, update-manager tells you that there is no upgrade available if you tell it to look for LTS releases only.

My dev machines are running 12.04, though, and haven't run into any major issues yet (knock on wood); my daily driver netbook runs 12.10 because I like it like that.

2 Stoic Practices, for a better life
There are a few grammar mistakes sure, but it makes sense to me.

tl;dr:

In order to realize the transition from Internet to Autonomous Internet, each partition of current Internet should first realize possible self-government and gradually reduce its dependence on the foreign domain names, such as COM, NET et al. Then to each AIP network, we can establish a new autonomous DNS, or Upgrade one part of current Internet DNS (core part or non core part) to a new autonomous DNS.

Go right ahead guys, anybody can configure their name resolvers that way if they want to. The part that they're not saying is that in order to force this upon their users they will have to block DNS packets from traversing across their border.

I can't imagine the IETF is going to go for this.

Could anyone explain to me why some of the rows don't add up to 10k attempted connections?

For example, looking at the raw data for Haskell and java, and adding up connections, disconnects, crashes, and timeouts doesn't give anywhere near 10k. What happened to the rest of the connections? Were they simply not attempted? Was the port closed? Or am i just missing a relevant field in the output? It's not clear to me from the description.

If you don't qualify for an SSN you can get an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) that can be used for some things in place of an SSN, but it's not a "first class" identifier. I think an ITIN is fine for setting up a bank account, but it's been a while since I did it.
It's not that different in the US. OP explained the case in which you're setting up a company for VC investment. It is only slightly more complicated than an LLC. In fact the time consumed by the whole process of setting up a company is negligible compared with the time spent fundraising.

Anyone who's been around long enough or has read Jobs' biography has known this to be the modus operandi (and/or "vision") of Apple since, well, Apple was founded. One of the first real company disagreements between Woz and Jobs was the inclusion of expansion slots in the II. They WANT it not to be serviceable; they always have.
The way mathematics is generally taught, once you fall behind you're basically done. If you get really lost in 5th grade math, you'll spend the next 5-7 years (depending on whether your school system requires you to take a math class every year of high school) barely scraping by and getting promoted every year to a new math class while falling ever further behind. Finally, you'll reach the happy point where despite 10-12 of mathematical instruction, you basically don't know any mathematics past basic operations. Much better to adapt to the level of the learner and the speed they can work at - I'd rather have someone genuinely understand all the material that they've nominally learned than get barely passing grades on what looks like more material on paper. Unfortunately, a system of discrete math classes broken up by grade doesn't work any better for slow math learners than for gifted math learners.

Purely as an anecdotal data point, I'm a developer so due to constant compiling and other side-effects of my position, I suspect I work my SSD's harder on the write side than average. Using consumer grade SSD's I haven't had any more failures than I did with platters.
Perhaps. Now what about OpenBSD and NetBSD, or whatever else? If they provide specs then they don't have to write drivers, but they don't get to bless or withhold their blessing.

There was a stink a while back where Adaptec had been providing drivers for FreeBSD, but then stopped. People were stuck either not upgrading their boxes (bad!) or moving off their RAID setup (painful, expensive!). It's ugly. With specs, there is not this issue.

The (pervasive) idea that vendors providing drivers for your system of choice, for the time being is being open source friendly is something the vendor promotes, but it's not actually friendly.

Does anyone remember how to do long division by hand today? I certainly can't

But math is much more than your "grocery shopping math"

You don't need a calculator for most of math. And I really find it difficult to correlate "how to do long division" in success in areas like statistics, number theory and even calculus, because it's mostly concepts, not "1+1"

Most of the web works fine, in that the content is readable (which is really all I care about 90% of the time). Things like comments are often readable but rarely can be made without javascript. Twitter and blogger are the worst offenders in terms of no content whatsoever without javascript (I have twitter whitelisted but not blogger, and will often not bother to temporary whitelist it if I follow a link to it). I usually wind up whitelisting the bare minimum to get the features I want enabled on websites I frequent.

The legal benefits go even deeper than that: Delaware has great, extremely well tested laws around corporations (no surprises) and a judicial system that is highly familiar with corporate matters.

See how it's ALWAYS about politics and never about technology?

I say that for hackers that believe that political action doesn't matter, and that technology will just liberate us every time, because we can always "find workarounds for closed systems, surveillance technologies, DRM" etc...

Will it do much good for you to be able to use some obscure technical workaround, when 99% of your country's population cannot or fears to get to the outside "internet", including all your friends and relatives?

Not to mention, that would only work for your private computer use. I mean, let's say (a contrived example) your country forbids standard SMTP. OK, you can still use it over SSL, over a proxy, etc. But would you be able to use the same workarounds also in your business? Would you be able to give your employees the same ability? What if one of them rats you out to the police?
No way should you have to pay 10k+ to setup a corporation in Delaware. That's way too much.
Vizio reboots the PC: a quiet American success story
I've mentioned before here that I have taught college, high school, and elementary school. Also adult remedial education. The findings here are well known and have been for a long time, they come up all the time in the placement exams used in community colleges. Most people can do addition, subtraction and some multiplication. Fractions, long division, and everything that follows is a complete void for the majority of american adults.

Their conclusions are wrong though. It's not that they weren't taught fractions well enough. It's that the educational system is broken. Kids start doing badly in math at fifth grade. The reason is that's the age where they are old enough to start to realize on some level their time is being wasted, the schools are exhausting and the materials probably useless. Too much time is spent in school pandering to the slowest student. Classes are no longer segregated by ability. Fast students become bored, slow students never catch up, and the rest just misbehave or check out mentally.

To fix the problem, you don't need to push fractions and long division (which, true, most elementary school teachers do not really understand) harder, you need to prevent the students from burning out and losing interest by age 10.

We don't see these results in adults in other countries because they don't burn out their students at such an early age.

The US schools are unlikely to reform for bureaucratic and political reasons. Some argument will be contrived to link fractions to pay, or require higher salaries and funding in order to teach fractions properly. Perhaps yet more computers in the classroom will be proposed as the answer: truckloads of iPads for everyone! This will not solve the problem though.

If you want your kids to learn math properly, tools like Khan Academy are good, especially their web based hierarchical exercise software. This allows students to proceed at exactly the pace they need, independently of every other student.

If you are starting from the beginning, use a sensible curriculum like the Singapore Math series. By fourth grade though you should have a teacher who understands math better than the average american to assist students with it as needed. This is not possible to have in most school districts and is not going to change since people are unwilling to basically burn the schools to the ground and start over (fire everyone and requiring teachers to pass competency exams before rehiring, also eliminate 90% of bureaucracy and rules that impose restrictions on teaching). So things will continue as they are in the schools.
What newspapers have is the trust of a powerful local brand--even Google gives local newspapers some of the highest PRs in these markets.

Smaller the market; better the brand. No one else has this and that's what Buffet is buying.

How does increased amounts of online chatting lead to a diagnosis of depressive symptoms? To be honest, my brain is so slowed down by depression, I can't muster much energy to chat or comment excessively online.

Besides, in my opinion, having 20+ tabs of news and information etc helps stave off depression. It sure beats sitting staring blankly at a wall or wallowing in it by reading self-help books.
I run OpenIndiana (and OpenSolaris before that) on mine, and I tend to agree - Linux ZFS is unlikely to ever be as mature as either the Illumos kerneled distros (OpenIndiana, Nexenta, SmartOS), or FreeBSD (and derived systems like FreeNAS), both of which ship ZFS in the kernel as a primary filesystem.
So long as there's significant penalty to participating as a seller in this market for those actually writing the software then I don't see why it can't be public. I don't think it would be a good idea to allow without penalty someone who is writing the software to be cashing in on million+ dollar bonuses for back doors he writes himself however. That seems analogous to insider trading.

Forfeiture of all money gained as such and a stiff jail sentence should be enough to discourage any but those who are already doing this without public knowledge of the market.
