First post I made, read it. mhddfs+rsync. Even with "RAIDs redundancy" I'd still be looking to backup all the data on a raid array, so either way I'd still have rsync in the equation. All important stuff at home is rsynced off to multiple offsite locations (incremental backups too, always...

Each drive you add to the array increases the chance of a critical failure and loss of data across ALL drives, not just those that have gone bad. You also have to be somewhat careful and ensure that you pull the right drive from the array, this is often the way people find themselves going from...

And a second failure during rebuild? More common that you'd think, long rebuild times with large arrays, drives from the same batch..... How, it what way?

I'm curious as to why people are using RAID in a home environment? I (personally) know the guy who wrote the original linux kernel IDE drivers and he's a serious low level expert and he wouldn't touch raid (certainly in a home environment) with a bargepole. His solution and recommendation is...

Yeah, I wouldn't get one as a contract upgrade, bit pointless. If I were upgrading on contract and wanted a nexus then I'd get an iPhone, sell it and buy a nexus. Then again, I'd never be on contract. Sim free and rolling contract is the way to go.

In document ready you'd do something like: $('#m1-sum-arg3Field').text("1.50") whatever fields are appropriate.

We've just designed a retrofit radar module for use in a competitors product....their product has a high failure rate so we've been told! May as well make some cash out of their product!

No, I wrote the software for a radar that detects vehicles (VAS use etc) - some models have data collection, so analysis software was also needed to collect, process and analyse the data. If I had the time, I'd give you a hand, but I really don't. Sorry. I can answer the odd casual query, but...

Indeed. I spent a lot of time writing software to generate pretty reports on vehicle speeds including percentiles and stuff.

I'm guessing if you have an interest in this you probably use the 85th percentile of data a lot too?

It's the calculation for how far drivers need to see ahead (of a hazard) so that they can stop (safely) from a given speed.

Replace.

var arg1 = parseFloat($('#m1-sum-arg1Field').val()); var arg2 = parseFloat($('#m1-sum-arg2Field').val()); var arg3 = parseFloat($('#m1-sum-arg3Field').val()); var arg4 = parseFloat($('#m1-sum-arg4Field').val());

parseInt. You can't use that, you need floating point. Edit: Replace them with parseFloat or parseDouble.

This. I was a long term fan of the iPhone, but iOS6 is a joke, it's an embarrassment. The formula should not be Take iOS5, remove some bits, make it a bit worse, label it iOS6, profit! Prior to the beta seeds of iOS6 I'd have said there's nothing that would have taken me away from the...

Yes. Used to have our own mail server, but I migrated us to Google apps a few years ago. I had to write a number of scripts to export our current mail and import it into Google, about 15 years worth of sent and received email from 5 or so accounts. Google apps was free at the time, so we...

I remember doing my work experience at a computer games distributer in the early 90's. Was awesome, they worked with Gonzo games and such like, there were some programmers working on the C64, ST & Amiga versions of "Brides of Dracula". I used to spend all day with them, they were a bunch of...

It should only download the most recent messages anyway, if you scroll down it will download more.

If its downloading old emails then it doesn't sound like you've been using pop anyway, pop removes emails from the server as it downloads them. IMAP keeps the messages on the server but provides sync info, so if you read a message on your phone, then it shows as read on your PC. If you delete a...

To paraphrase my second post, why the f**k are you using pop? Use IMAP.

I made the "step" last november (luckily I managed to get one from the first batch) and I have zero regrets. My N7 convinced me that Android had reached a point where it wasn't a joke, so I pulled the trigger. Roll on key lime pie. Every time I use the wifes iPhone 4 I can't believe how small...

Pop? If you're using POP you're doing it wrong. Use IMAP. imap.virginmedia.com

Nexus 4. End thread.

You'll have to wait till the wife gets home so I can take a picture of it on her iPhone!

Would you like me to post a picture of mine? ;)

Using a forum in a browser makes me want to poke my eyes out with a stick. It's an awful experience! Granted that in the early days Tapatalk crashed so much that it was 50/50 which was the worst experience, but it didn't take long to tip the balance in favour of the App and now it's just a...

Do what it says. As far as I can remember, that message is reported by the drive itself to windows (smart). The drive is seeing an increasing amount of physical errors indicating that it's about to fail.

Yeah, just go into startup disk in mac os system preferences and select the bootcamp partition. Pretty sure you can do it inside bootcamp as well using the bootcamp utility.

If you're that tempted, why not ditch the display and get the iMac instead. You can use the iMac as a thunderbolt display for the MBP but you will also be able to use it as a normal Mac as well.

It feels as quality to hold as my iPhone 4/4S ever did. (I would say any iPhone, but my 3G was a bit plasticky/shoddy by todays high standards)
