  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    GSquared (1/12/2012)


    At least half the time I answer, I didn't have the answer when I started. I read the question, go "I wonder how you'd do that", and start...

  • RE: Coding More Carefully

    GSquared (1/12/2012)


    ...

    Yeah, it's one of those "yes but no" kind of things. I at least partially disagree with myself here.

    As I get older, this is an hourly occurrence with...

  • RE: RAID recomendations

    Perry Whittle (1/12/2012)


    @steve-2 Jones that is, unfortunately a disadvantage of the RAID5. Array rebuild times for R5 and R10 are also a consideration, with lower rebuild times R10 is...

  • RE: Cloud Safety

    The agreement you must sign to use the cloud from a cloud provider is reserving itself for potential changes in the agreements. Or at least so I've read on some...

  • RE: Coding More Carefully

    I agree, but don't agree with you. It's not necessarily about avoiding a tool that can help, but using the tool appropriately. It's potentially a problem with many of today's...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Some people can't be helped, or don't want to. The best thing in that thread, and in others, is to post one answer, then drop it. Don't chime in to...

  • RE: Cloud Safety

    James Stover (1/11/2012)


    Can I do it as well or better?

    Well put, although I don't know if we are training all cloud providers better than the average sysadmin. I'd...

  • RE: RAID recomendations

    Raid 5 has performed great for me in many applications. Many apps where we weren't pushing the envelope on IOPS, and we had much of the needed data in RAM.

    The...

  • RE: Cloud Safety

    That's a good list, and whether they can actually answer all of them is debatable, but the way they answer will say something. If they look at #20 and go...

  • RE: RAID recomendations

    I think there's a limit whereby you are saturating channels, and it would depend on your workload. I think you want to minimize head movement if you have a busy...

  • RE: Censoring the Internet

    Ah, so you can assign our a portion of your copyright. The authors retain copyright for their work published here, but they grant us perpetual publication (distribution) rights on this...

  • RE: Authentication mode in SQL Server

    Dev (1/11/2012)


    If somebody can login to Application Server & read configuration files, he can delete website as well (worst scenario).

    I wouldn't count out some SQL Injection or XSS...

  • RE: Censoring the Internet

    I think reposting a copyrighted work without permission is still copyright. The copyright laws control distribution as a protected right.

    The bigger problem is fair use. There's no provision in there...

  • RE: Authentication mode in SQL Server

    I tend to agree with Jack. Win Auth is more secure and no passwords are stored in any config file. The only passwords are those stored in the services portion...

  • RE: RAID recomendations

    I'd second Gail's advice. R10 if you can, R1 for logs if you can't. R5 for data if you must, but keep a spare drive around, which in most cases...
