Squeal a bit. Email the money gurus at work for a recommendation of a brilliant financial planner. Tell the planner to distribute 1mil to each immediate family member, in a method of their choosing....

Here's a related question: If that person wanted to have as many children as possible, what would be the most effective way to make it happen? (my guess: a baby farm in a low-cost-of-living country)
- Paul Buchheit

Hire a trusted financial advisor. Pay my parents back. Scout which European country I want to move to. Start an artists' colony. Start an endowment to conduct research into cures for various RSIs. Start an organization to hook up mentors with adults who had no mentors when they were young. Etc. Etc. As long as I invest wisely, I could hopefully help existing charities or start charities for people who are underserved because they're not normally thought of as needing help.

Paul, I think Genghis Khan had a pretty effective strategy to have as many children as possible, but I'm not sure it modernizes very well. I also think men have more options to make lots of babies than women because there part in the process doesn't take as long. However, with technology, women could have baby farms too. Yeah technology ;)

Panasonic Lumix GF1 Field Test — 16 Days in the Himalayas - http://craigmod.com/journal...

"The GF1 is a near perfect travel camera. For 16 days I lived with it strapped to me as I climbed through the valleys of central Nepal up to Annapurna Base Camp at 4,200 meters. I covered the camera in sweat. I hit it against rocks (unintentionally). The air was often dusty and this dust, by the end of the trip, had worked its way into every nook of the GF1. And yet it performed flawlessly. Never once did it stutter or complain or fail to take an image when I asked it to. And only rarely did it take the wrong image."

Also, I love the FreeBSD ports collection (which Gentoo tried to imitate). cd /usr/ports/devel/git; make install will fetch git, build it, and install it, and automatically deal with any dependencies as they arrive.
- Tudor Bosman
Another option is pkg_add -r git which will install a binary package compiled with default options, and resolve dependencies.
- Scott Ludwig
from iPhone
Okay, nested dependencies work just fine until you find a package that depends on TeX. Why does my little storage box need latex and amstex and mkfontdir and dvips and...?
- Tudor Bosman
Because you need PDFs of the documentation, of course!

In many languages, apparently. /usr/ports/print/latex-cjk/scripts/installt1enc.sh arb5sung arb5sung.ttf Bg5 Generating Type 1 subfonts arb5sung from arb5sung.ttf [Bg5 planes: 1-55]:

This is apparently all caused by updating the freebsd-doc-en package, which regenerates all forms of documentation from scratch.
- Tudor Bosman
One of my disks appears bad, hopefully it's the cable.ad8: FAILURE - READ_DMA48 timed out LBA=766744255
- Tudor Bosman
Yep, RMAing now.
- Tudor Bosman
Two more disks are showing read errors, including the boot disk. This is not good at all. Maybe WD actually qualifies RAID-level drives, and rebrands the crappy ones (with bad sectors which auto-remap) as consumer-level. With auto-remapping turned off, errors start creeping in within days.
- Tudor Bosman
I'll investigate this more, of course, by mounting the bad disks into a different machine and looking at SMART output, but so far it smells of a bad batch of drives.
- Tudor Bosman
How hot are they getting? (It's in the SMART data) ... We had a fan go out on a drive tower (and the 'dead fan' alarm didn't sound -- wonderful) and we smoked at least three drives before figuring out what was going on.
- Eric Borisch
Eric: While trying to stress the disks with a few dd commands running in parallel, I can't get them to heat up above 26 degrees Celsius. I'd say that cooling inside my box works well. The two newly failed disks have 5 UNCorrectable sectors each -- and that's just because the SMART buffer only remembers the last 5 errors.
- Tudor Bosman
Maybe I just got a bad batch, but at this point I would recommend against using WD20EADS drives for anything.
- Tudor Bosman
yeah, the EADS aren't so good. The ABYS series have been super reliable in comparison, but I don't think they go up to that many TB.
- Private Sanjeev
incidentally the drives are physically different (the mechanicals are more vibration-resistant on enterprise drives), so WD doesn't just rebrand flaky drives.
- Private Sanjeev
Any opinions on the new, 4-platter WD RE4 RAID edition drives? They're 2TB, expensive as hell, but there may be deals to be had. Alternatively, the Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB.
- Tudor Bosman
I have a bunch of EADS drives (4x1TB, 4x1.5TB) and I haven't seen any problems. Might just be a bad batch.
- Joe Beda ()
Currently leading the pack: Hitachi 7K2000.
- Tudor Bosman
I only have experience with ABYS and EADS in production :(.
- Private Sanjeev
I have 24 A7K1000s that have been going great for over a year. (Knocks on wood)
- Eric Borisch
Okay, I ordered 5 7K2000s. Let's see how this goes.
- Tudor Bosman
The box is back up with the 5 Hitachi 7K2000 drives. I copied all the data over again, and "zpool scrub" now completes without errors. I'll update this post after 2 or 3 days of burn-in.
- Tudor Bosman
Hint: Read the man page. The "--batch" option to portupgrade is supremely useful. portupgrade -vaP --batch: upgrade all installed FreeBSD packages, prefer to use precompiled packages if available (-P), don't ask questions (use default configuration options).
- Tudor Bosman
A few scrubs later, still zero errors, and normal smartctl output. I now deem the box ready for production use (that is, the main storage device in the Bosman household).
- Tudor Bosman
Does anybody sell a BSD/ZFS raid box that is all ready to go?
- Peng-Toh
For small boxes, you could consider a self-contained box like a MSI Wind PC ($139).
- Scott Ludwig
from iPhone
I mean something that comes with all software (BSD/ZFS) installed, an UI and no "hacking" required. Something for a non-techie.
- Peng-Toh
my EADS results: 2/6 failed so far (free RMA replacement). no data loss though.
- Michael Herf
Tudor: FWIW, random activity is much more stressful (and power consuming = heat producing) than the contiguous reads/writes you get from dd. Try bonnie++ or iozone if you'd like to really hit the system. Glad to hear you're up and running - ZFS is fantastic stuff.
- Eric Borisch
Michael: Yes, I had 3 out of 5 EADS drives fail within a week. I returned all 5 and got Hitachi 7K2000.
- Tudor Bosman
Peng-Toh: There's FreeNAS, http://freenas.org/, but I'd wait until they upgrade to FreeBSD 8, probably in a couple of months (the FreeBSD folks didn't consider ZFS to be production quality until FreeBSD 8.0).
