mike_c: kakobrekla: sorry, i meant techcrunch has been confirmed fucked for a long time :)

joecool: kakobrekla: i thought it was the case for a couple years now, or is this a case of rumors turning into fact?

asciilifeform: essentially everyone i know who gives a damn about retaining whatever bits on his workstation has some form of raid
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it isn't a backup or whatever strategy, it's a 'you can't buy disks that aren't garbage for years now' strategy.

BingoBoingo: RAID is not a backup or data protection strategy
mircea_popescu: that's a summary of 80% or so of what the power rangers have to say
