My second question: when I create a document with say a font size of 18 (at least that is what the size I prefer while I am in MS Word), but if I then save the document as PDF, I always end up generating a PDF with much smaller font size, at least that is what I can immediately see when I open up the PDF under 100% size (I mean no zooming in or out)-tslim (November 15, 2013, 08:39 AM)
So where you're using Google, it's because, in one way or another, you believe they've got a superior product.-CWuestefeld (November 14, 2013, 04:15 PM)

@ Mouser- IIRC Backblaze uses pretty much nothing but consumer grade hardware in their storage PODs and simply maintains a lot of redundancy and has excess capacity to offset the increased likelihood of hardware failures. More risk management at work.-40hz (November 12, 2013, 06:46 PM)
Here is a list of the drives we have tested and currently use:__________
4 TB drives
Hitachi – HDS5C4040ALE630 (Just starting to use these, but they look good.)
3 TB drives
Hitachi- HDS5C3030ALA630 (low power)
Hitachi – HDS723030ALA640 (high power)
Western Digital – WDC WD30EFRX‑68AX9N0 (RED)
Seagate – ST3000DM001‑9YN166 (slightly higher failure rate)
Types Of Hard Drives In The Analysismy emphasis
Backblaze has standardized on “consumer-grade” hard drives. While hard drive companies say these drives are not designed to work in RAID arrays or the 24×7 workload of a data center environment, Backblaze uses software redundancy to protect data. In a future blog post we will delve into the statistics comparing “consumer” and “enterprise” hard drives.

I was thinking something more along the lines of Talitha Mackenzie'sFair Shoulders - or Fionnaghuala if you speak Gaelic. (I don't!)

- the version I knew growing up was from the Bothy Band - from the album with the wonderful name "Old Hag you have killed me" ;-)I am wondering if the song could have been Irish: Gaudete by Steeleye Span from 1973, here from 2008 but almost a copy of their original version:-Curt (November 11, 2013, 01:22 PM)
- but definitely not Irish -I've had emails from Spotify, Microsoft, Skype, Steam, and some dating site in the last few months that were the result of some f***tard signing up to those services and using a gmail address the same as one of mine but missing a period within it - eg. fred.nurk(a)gmail.com and the emails are for frednurk(a)gmail.com - all because GMail doesn't count an address with a period as different from one without.-4wd (November 10, 2013, 05:33 AM)
I've noticed LP acting slower lately also but wasn’t certain if it was the new version or the change to the iterations setting.-J-Mac (November 09, 2013, 10:21 AM)
Well, I guess it's only logical for it to be slower and it's also using more cpu cycles during encryption since its number of rounds is much bigger now.-lotra (November 09, 2013, 11:14 AM)
