If you're looking for something similarly spec'd you could just buy and beef up a Thinkserver TS440. They are pretty inexpensive, have 8 bays for drives, Xeon E3-1225 v3 proc, ECC memory, redundant power supply (only comes with on slot populated), and start off under $500.

I've seem that type of cupcake before, more commonly in the gaming world.
They make wild generalisations about topics they don't quite understand, in the hopes if impressing the old guard who write them off as n00bs

Can be handy to have one of those hot swap USB drive port things.

If you show only one thing, showing something over and over that is 3% of the market is weird.

As you said, it's only weird if you do sell more than just that one thing that is such a small part of the market.

Going with VCs is a dangerous road. Not the first company that I've seen that was going strong try to make some money that route and find that all the company's original values were gone and there was nothing more to be done.

The OpenAoE Project is a great idea, and the inventor of the protocol is involved to supporting the project. Nice work Yacine.

This means that resilvers expected to fail when we look at the math model that only gives has an average (mean) failure rate we get successful resilver after success resilver. This also means that array expansion operations (replacing one drive at a time with a larger drive) would also be far more likely to be successful than expected based solely on the math averages.

And that's how my boss got away with it heheh (well so far)

I'm not necessarily opposed to using 15.04, I've just always stuck with the LTS releases for deployment.

I'm the opposite. Due to stability and patch issues, I would never use LTS for production (only in a lab) except for the time when the LTS release is also the current release. Remember LTS is only a name and does not imply any additional support. Staying on old, out of date, unsupported OS versions is especially bad in production.

We had a physical server change and did a fresh install rather than an upgrade from 6.2 to 6.5 so did not need to do it or I would have had a first hand experience to share. We are on XenServer 6.5 and have been for a bit now. The final product is awesome.

If it is purely the sync option, I believe you can simply remove it. Since it is a sync, everything will be left as it is now.

I've been having issues with the notification section.
I have finally figured out posting (bit slow today) but the notification slide-out is blank 😞

Edit: Only have my Windows Phone on me for the next few days

Edit Edit: Just noticed the WP8.1 thread

No. Just a simple residential router. I'll try from the office tomorrow to see if I can reproduce there.

@nadnerB I just finished coughing and choking on my coffee lol - thanks man

Great! That's what I figured. Thanks Scott.

Yes, that's what I have seen people run into. Using the reserved block and then wanting mobility of the reserved block.

So you're saying I can't have my cake and eat it too?

Pretty much 🙂

@scottalanmiller Before long, our watches will just project a hologram onto our arm (http://cicret.com/wordpress/), another surface(https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/touchjet-pond-turn-any-surface-into-a-touchscreen#/story -- this one isn't a phone, but I like the concept), or into thin air for us to tap and use...

If he insists, tell him to check with Citrix how to do this. He is not paying for support and Citrix does not document how to verify this.

@scottalanmiller I will ask this in another thread
