That's Edmund? I nearly didn't recognise him - Robert, you've got to get a higher resolution camera Smiley

Sorry for getting that wrong and sorry about the low quality of the picture. These cell phone cameras aren't very good and indoors are easy to make blurry due to camera motion.

What do they do with that much storage?

The blob in the upper right hand corner is my dog

That could give you 45,500 Gig of storage (depending on how it is setup). I think I could fill that up Wink

That's a lot of spindles. How many IOPS? Current/Max? Does ISTG have a WP?

I was wondering what performance would you get if those drives were on a RAID 0 ? Tongue Out

ok off topic but somebody's HTML formatting is off and causing Firefox to render the post content beyond the horizontal viewport.

Oh wait, it seems my post fixed it.... Smiley

Tell MSFT not to abandon its gay employess

I am an Microsoft ex-employee, 1993-1997. In my last year I was a manager and programmer in the

Research Dept’s Virtual Worlds Group.

I used to be proud of Microsoft as a tech leader and a Civil Rights leader. Now they are siding with

the Christian Taliban against our gay and lesbian friends.

Please read the articles at:
http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/04/take-action-microsoft-abandons-gays.html
and
http://thestranger.com

I am disabled so I can’t picket like I did during the Civil Rights struggle of the 60’s. I am a

keyboard activist.

Urge Microsoft to do the right thing.

I am terribly ashamed of my old company.

Doug Sharp

********** TAKE ACTION **********

1. Call Microsoft's director of Government Relations, Jack Krumholtz, at tel. 202-263-5900 and tell

him:

- You know about Microsoft secretly pulling its support for the Washington state gay rights bill, and

you're not happy about Microsoft kissing up to anti-gay bigots.

- You demand that Microsoft IMMEDIATELY and PUBLICLY endorse the gay rights bill in Washington state,

and demand that Microsoft publicly repudiate its new policy of backing-off of support for the civil

rights of gays and lesbians and other Americans.

- Tell him that if the Washington state gay rights bill dies on Friday, Microsoft's reputation goes

down with it.

2. Contact these other contacts for Microsoft and its public relations reps and tell them the same

thing:

- Jim Desler,

2. Demand that Microsoft return the award it received from the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center. We

don't give corporate bigots awards, and we don't expect them to keep such awards under false pretenses.

If Microsoft has now rethunk its position on defending civil rights, then give back the damn award:

Per Microsoft's own Web site:
Microsoft has been honored for its pioneering work on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and

transgender community with the annual Corporate Vision Award of the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center.
Yeah, I don't think so.
