If they legit thought it was a bomb, then why didn't they follow proper procedure and evacuate the school? Or did they just want to feel like tough guys and intimidate a kid.

Well they're going to have quite the song written about them.

I'm in the same boat, but Zuckerberg has said multiple times that he wants to connect the world. Making Facebook a pay for service would prevent that from happening.

Back in September after the Fappening scandal, Tim Cook wrote a message that is still present on apple's privacy page.  On that page is a sentence that irked Mark Zuckerberg, "when an online service is free, you’re not the customer. You’re the product."
 
 
 
Two different business philosophies here.  In one hand you make a product and sell it above cost to make some kind of profit.  In the other, you offer a free service and have to find some way of maintaining it and make a profit as well, in this case advertising space tailored to mined data from the users.  That's not to say that Apple doesn't mine data, they just use it differently.  Bottom line is nobody is forced to use Facebook or Google just like nobody is forced to buy Apple products.

Well didn't this thread go to shit. Regardless of PB or PiB it's impressive for a consumer grade SSD.

I thought some of you might be interested in the planning of my new storage server.
 
 
My current server is no longer cutting it for me as it's fallen down to the 10th place on the 10TB + topic so its time for a new server that is "a bit large".
I also want to shrink my amount of chassis to just two chassis for all my servers.
This is why my new server will be using a Supermicro Twin Server.
 
A Supermicro Twin series system has 2 motherboards in one chassis so I can uses one for virtualization and one for storage..
I'm currently looking at this one:
 
SYS-6028TR-DTR
SuperServer 6028TR-DTR

 
It has 2 dual socket 2011 v3 motherboards.
 
 
Motherboard/system 1 (Hypervisor machine) will have the following installed on it / connected to it:
2x Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 (10 core @2,3Ghz)
96GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC Kingston RAM (probably buying 3 "KVR21R15D4K4/64" kits in total for both systems so 96GB in sys1 and 32 in sys2)
4x 480GB Intel Solid State Drive 730 (RAID 10)
(Might add a 400GB or 800GB intel PCI-e 3.0 Solid-State Drive DC P3700 as I would like to try one out.)

Remaining PCI slots are to be filled with NIC's

 
 
Motherboard/system 2 (storage machine) will have the following installed on it / connected to it:
1x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3
32GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC Kingston RAM (see system 1)
2x 240GB Intel Solid State Drive 730 (RAID 1)

 
 
Now,
If you have studied algebra you may have noticed that I'm at least 97TB short of the promised 100TB.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And that is where this baby kicks in:
 
CSE-847E16-RJBOD1
SuperChassis 847E16-RJBOD1
 

 24 Drives in the front.

And 21 in the rear...
 

This 45 bay system comes with redundant PSU SAS expander so all it needs is a HBA or RAID card to control it and some harddrives.
I will most likely use 30 4TB Seagate Barracuda drives (ST4000DM000)
 
I have yet to decide which HBA I'm going to use (probably LSI)
This HBA will of course be installed in system 2 and will connect the 2 chassis together using 2 SFF-8088 cables (the most sexy computer cable ever)

 
That's all I have so far.
ETA for purchase of components is January / February 2015

Not the first or last of anything, It was always the case that Intel nerfed the compiler and the anti competitive behaviour with pc vendors is a separate incidence. Proof below.
 
 
There is plenty of information on it around the net, it's was not because they refused to account for "exotic" AMD instructions, the code actually looked at the vendor ID string and intentionally ran the slowest code for non Intel chips.

The FTC even forced Intel to change it:
 
 
It is a fact that the compiler intentionally crippled non Intel CPUs, this is not disputable but cold hard reality.
 
I really don't know nor understand why anyone would try to argue this didn't happen. 

At least its camera isnt sticking out the back.

VAIO.

Here's a better picture at where they made money and lost money:
 

The left bar is 2013 quarter 2 and right is this years Q2 results.  We want to look at the operating income.
 
edit: Gaming (G&NS) did a lot better than I expected while the mobile segment (MC) is what dragged the company down.
