I'm a programmer and I'm involved in a project of creating something like Dropbox to offer it to the clients of a big company here in my country (online storage space+sync,etc). We are already charging the clients monthly and would like to offer them online storage space for little extra money. We already have a system that offers 98% of continuous electric supply.
I've been asked for hardware requirements, I have an idea of what's needed but would like your help. How many servers, are clusters needed, etc.
I'm also thinking that maybe we can get affiliated with dropbox (or another service) instead of creating something from scratch.
Please, can you answer roughly about the hardware requirements?
I would really appreciate it.

About Me
Enjoying life...
It's a difficult task to write everything about one self.
First I thought to write that I'm an ordinary guy, very Swedish - maybe a bit reserved at first but warm and friendly once I open up.
But then I thought, there's really no such thing as ordinary people. We're all unique and special. So what then is special with me?
I'm an idealist and political junkie, heavily addicted to news and current events. I like to discuss things, the subject doesnât matter too much Iâm flexible. Iâm very curious to my nature, ask a lot of questions, like to learn new things.
Some people would maybe describe me as a workaholic, but I do find time to relax and have fun off from work to. When I do, I like to cook, watch movies, sing (karaoke) and poke around in my garden even though Iâm not great at gardening.
Your Personality is Very Rare (INFP)
Your personality type is dreamy, romantic, elegant, and expressive.
Only about 5% of all people have your personality, including 6% of all women and 4% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving.
How Rare Is Your Personality?
One only live once so one better enjoy it.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I host people when ever I can and I try to surf and meet up other couchsurfers when I travel.
I've had some great experiences hosting Couch Surfers at my home and spending time with Couch Surfers around Stockholm. I've also been surfing couches around Europe, China and Southeast Asia my self.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: I'm open to suggestions but my own collection consists mostly of action, good quality drama and some musicals.
Music: Mostly pop but I'm open to most kinds of music.
Books: Classical literature, historic speeches and poetry (No Iâm not a snob but when I have time to read something I can chose on my own, language and the emotions expressed is more important than content.)
One Amazing Thing I've Done
How can I chose just one...?
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a jack of many trades and a master of none but I probably know more than many others when it comes to politics and I'm happy to share and discuss.

I'd say Jon cost more lives by his stupid solo charge. He could have run back to his lines, or at least been closer to them. Because his army got caught out away from their prepared position, that inward-facing hedgehog was making mincemeat out of them.
Rickon was the youngest, so he would have had the least training. He probably barely got to swinging a padded wooded sword at a target.

I find it a bit odd that some people are complaining about plot armor. The show has already trimmed some characters from the books, and still has killed off a bunch of what characters they included. So if you're not introducing a bunch of replacements, then you're going to be left with some characters with plot armor.
Or everybody dies, Winter buries everything under 20 feet of snow, the White Walkers and their zombie mob seriously cull humanity, and who knows if anybody will manage to survive until Spring comes, and the White Walkers go back north of the Wall.

London - For five centuries, since the time of the Tudors, the shipyard in Portsmouth, England, built warships that helped Britain rule the waves and create an empire. On Wednesday, the yard's workers learned the site will be shut.
BAE Systems, Britain's largest military shipbuilder, announced a restructuring plan that will cut 1,775 jobs. Portsmouth, the home of the Royal Navy's command, will be hit hardest and stop building military ships altogether. Shipyards Glasgow and Rosyth in Scotland will face fewer cuts.
The decision was all the more charged because Scotland, where all of Britain's military shipbuilding will be concentrated, will vote next year on whether to become independent.
Portsmouth took the news hard. The move was a psychological blow to the seaside community that has long plied its fortunes beside the navy and alongside the water. Hundreds of high-paying, skilled jobs are not simple to replace, particularly in a time of economic troubles.
"We're an island nation," said Gerald Vernon-Jackson, a local government leader in Portsmouth. "We depend on sea trade for the food we eat, for the fuel in our cars. If we don't have a navy to make sure the sea lanes stay open, the country's economy will collapse."
Defense Secretary Philip Hammond, who broke the news of the cuts to Parliament, said there was no getting around the fact that times had changed. Shipbuilding is an increasingly competitive market, particularly in the military sector, where governments are cutting down on procurement costs.
It is simply a "fantasy" to think that Britain's ship builders could experience a renaissance, he said.
The decision to close the Portsmouth yard also reflects the country's fading connection to the sea. The rise of container ships concentrated in a few large ports has decreased the visibility of commerce by sea.
Robert Blyth, a senior curator at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, called it "sea blindness."
"We're a very urban population. The major ports have moved away from the major cities. The mass movement of goods that still goes on through shipping is somewhat invisible," he said.
Even so, unlike factories, or call centers or other major employers, shipyard cuts are talked about for a generation, said Guy Anderson, an analyst for Jane's Defence Industry.
He said the shipyards' troubles stemmed from their inability to deal with the fitful nature of the market. Orders for warships provide plenty of work, but only in bursts, followed by long stretches of inactivity for the yards.

The host, working with 2-3 co-hosts, chooses a theme or a region to showcase, and together, prepare a meal for all to share. It does not need to be fancy or a sit-down meal, and it can be something that the guests help put together! The hosts share the cost, and there are lots of hands to help with the clean-up.
If you have not signed up and are interested in participating, you need to send Neenu and Hiba an email to be put on the list. We keep a separate email list for cook group. All members are welcome!

Believing in God and believing God are two distinctly different things.
Christianity is a very narrow path to a relationship with God. It is exclusively inclusive — open to all, yet a straight gate that few choose to enter.
The gate is hinged by truth, grace and faith. It isn't locked, but it only opens one way — in.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth is that gate. It's a hard saying, and impediment for the many who don't want to see God in the God Man.
These same ones will believe many good things about Jesus of Nazareth, they'll call Him prophet, rabbi, good man, even healer; they'll accept Him as a social reformer, revolutionary, philosopher and teacher, but they will not accept Him as Saviour, as Lord. Why not?
Christ's divinity is the most critical and most controversial issue facing each of us. Our salvation hinges on it, on the gospel of Jesus Christ and His millennial kingdom, i.e., belief that He is God manifest in the flesh, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a propitiatory death on our behalf — nailing the law and our sins to His cross — buried in a tomb for three days and nights, arose from death as witnessed by many and ascended into heaven from whence He will return for the believing remnant, His church.
The contentment and happiness we experience in this life and where we spend eternity in the next depends on our belief or unbelief in the divinity of Jesus Christ — of our understanding of His gospel, of His word and will for us.
It is, always has been, and always will be about Christ Jesus alone — nothing, no one else, just Him plain and simple, but people want more.

World Wide Port Name
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In computing, a World Wide Port Name, WWPN, or WWpN, is a World Wide Name assigned to a port in a Fibre Channel fabric. Used on storage area networks, it performs a function equivalent to the MAC address in Ethernet protocol, as it is supposed to be a unique identifier in the network.
A World Wide Node Name, WWNN, or WWnN, is a World Wide Name assigned to a node (an endpoint, a device) in a Fibre Channel fabric. It is valid for the same WWNN to be seen on many different ports (different addresses) on the network, identifying the ports as multiple network interfaces of a single network node.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Understanding Rheumatic Fever
Understanding Rheumatic Fever -- Symptoms
What Are the Symptoms of Rheumatic Fever?
- Swollen, tender, red, and extremely painful joints -- particularly the knees or ankles
- Fever
- A red, raised, lattice-like rash, usually on the chest, back, and abdomen
- Nodules, or small protuberances, over the swollen joints
- Sometimes, weakness and shortness of breath caused by heart involvement
- Sometimes, uncontrolled movements of arms, legs, or facial muscles called chorea
These symptoms often begin two to four weeks after a strep throat infection has appeared to clear up. Sometimes, however, people with rheumatic fever do not recall having had a sore throat.
Call Your Doctor About Rheumatic Fever If:
- You are experiencing the symptoms listed in the symptoms section, particularly if you remember having recently had a sore throat. You may have rheumatic fever and should receive medical attention.
- You have a sore throat without other cold symptoms accompanied by a fever higher than 101 F and swollen glands in your neck. You may have strep throat and should receive medical attention.
- You experience sudden and unexplained joint pain after recovering from strep throat.

Bank of Japan policymakers agreed during their April 3-4 policy-setting meeting that the central bank needed to enter "a new phase of monetary easing," with some members calling for steps that would have an impact on financial markets, the minutes of the meeting showed Thursday.
"Some members expressed the view that it was important for the bank to introduce a policy that would have an impact in terms of scale, so that the markets would perceive that it had decided to take all necessary measures" to attain the 2 percent inflation target, the minutes said.
At its first policy meeting chaired by Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, the BOJ decided to double the monetary base in two years, adopting the monetary base as the main operating target for money market operations instead of the overnight call rate.
Many members expressed the view that it was necessary to reconsider the overall framework of the monetary easing policy conducted by previous Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, saying, there "appeared to have been limitations with regard to policy effects it could further pursue."
Recognizing the need for the central bank to "enter a new phase of monetary easing both in terms of quantity and quality," the members agreed to stop adopting measures incrementally, the minutes said.
The members also concurred on the importance of the bank communicating to the public "in a clear and intelligible manner," with one member saying its policy framework had been complicated and difficult to understand and its communication to the public was "not necessarily effective," undermining policy effects.
Meanwhile, some members pointed out possible side effects of the drastic easing policy, such as restrained returns on investment of institutional investors, such as life insurance companies and pension funds, as well as a rise in speculation that the BOJ was engaged in financing the government's debt.
Policy steps introduced by the BOJ include additional purchases of government bonds and risky financial assets such as exchange-traded funds and real estate investment trusts, aiming to pump a large amount of money into the market.
The members agreed that it was necessary to boost demand by exerting influence on long-term interest rates and asset prices, and to drastically change the existing deflationary expectations of markets and entities in order for the BOJ to attain the 2 percent inflation target in about two years, according to the minutes.
One member, however, noted that uncertainty was high regarding the effects of asset purchases in terms of raising inflation expectations, citing the existing results of quantitative analysis.

Arsenal target Michu after giving up on Rooney and Suarez: The Independent reports that Arsene Wenger will turn his attentions to Swansea's £25m-rated Spanish striker Michu. "Arsenal will have to pay £25million to bring Swansea forward Michu to the club as Arsene Wenger reportedly prepares to unravel his Plan B in the transfer market," the paper reports. "Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has an agreement with Michu that will allow the club to demand £25million for his services, with the Welsh side prepared to play tough with clubs interested in the Spaniard. Arsenal have had bids rejected for Wayne Rooney and Luis Suarez already this summer, and Wenger must be prepared to spend big if he is to please the club's discontent fans."
Paper Round's view: Arsene Wenger claimed after Saturday's defeat that he is working "24 hours a day" to sign new players. And it showed on Saturday: the Gunners looked as if they hadn't had a training or tactical session in weeks. A proper sharpshooter up front is just what they need, however, and paying a bit over the odds for Michu might make sense. After all, a player of his calibre could be the difference between hanging on to that fourth Champions League spot. Plus, Arsenal fans won't want to hear it, but signing a good striker from a mid-table team (rather than a great one from a title-contending side) is precisely their level these days.

Tottenham to steal Willian from under Liverpool's noses: The Daily Mirror writes that Spurs will step in to poach £30m-rated Brazilian playmaker Willian from Anzhi Makhachkala, despite Liverpool having been seen as front runners. The reason? Liverpool stinginess. "The Reds have already agreed terms with the 25-year-old, who has been put up for sale by cost-cutting Russians Anzhi Makhachkala, and had been confident of completing the deal. But the two clubs have not yet agreed a fee, with Anzhi demanding £30million and Liverpool offering only £26m." The Times also reports the same story, claiming that Spurs will "break the bank" to land Willian, but the report is very flimsy, resting on a vague quote from Andre Villas-Boas saying that Willian is "extremely talented".
Paper Round's view: As funny as it would be for neutrals to see Brendan Rodgers denied the signing, this story smacks of shenanigans on Anzhi's part, leaking a story about a highly plausible alternative bid in order to bump up what they receive from the Reds. If it was Arsenal in Liverpool's place you could write off the deal now, but chances are strong that the Reds will still get their man.
Full story in the Mirror and the Times

Gerrard stepped in to broker Suarez peace: The Mirror reports that, "Steven Gerrard brokered the peace deal which is expected to see Luis Suarez stay at Liverpool. It is Gerrard's part in healing the rift between Arsenal target Suarez and manager Brendan Rodgers, that could have the biggest impact on the Reds' season. With Liverpool insisting Suarez will not be sold, either to the Gunners or any other club this summer, the wantaway striker has had no choice but to swallow his pride and apologise."
Paper Round says: The Followers of the United Church of Stevie G might believe such chat, but both Rodgers and Suarez won't be sentimental enough to fall for this sort of thing. We can't see Liverpool selling to a club in the Premier League, but still wouldn't write off a sale to someone on the continent.
- - - -
I still want Roo - Mourinho won't give up on Wayne Rooney: The Sun reports that Jose Mourinho is refusing to admit defeat in his attempts to sign Wayne Rooney from Manchester United. "He made it clear he is still in the market for a top striker," the paper reports. "Rooney, 27, remains his top target even though Mourinho did not mention the Manchester United hitman by name."
Paper Round's view: It seems that the longer this goes on, the less likely Rooney is to leave - the England striker's feelings about United must have been calmed by a 4-1 romp on Saturday which makes it clear that Moyes's side are title contenders again. And with Mourinho making only vague noises about "trying until the end of the transfer window to sign a striker", it's pretty clear that Rooney will be only one of the names on the shortlist.

Winds of 100kmh could hit the region as early as this
morning, with the worst cyclone since Yasi expected to hit
somewhere between Cape Melville and Cape Tribulation tonight.
"It's coming in faster and bigger than we first thought it
was going to," Cook Shire Mayor Peter Scott said while
boarding up windows of his family home on Thursday.
Ita was 285km off the mainland on Thursday night and the
weather bureau says it poses a "significant threat" to far
northern communities.
It's expected to bring gales up to 280 km/h, heavy rain and
storm surges when it hits the coast, with 9000 people
directly in its path.
A cyclone warning is place from Lockhart River to Innisfail,
extending hundreds of kilometres inland, and a cyclone watch
alert is current from Innisfail to Cardwell.
Locals and tourists spent Thursday night in the Cooktown
cyclone shelter, which opened about 12 hours earlier after
the storm was upgraded.
"I've heard it's going to intensify and it's going to get
really scary," Dottie Bostoch told AAP as she made her
makeshift bed in the Cooktown shelter on Thursday night.
Ms Bostoch, 77, who took her dog Leo along to the shelter,
said she feared her house would cave in when the potentially
destructive winds hit.
Bruce Jenkins, 68, also spent the night at the centre with
his cat Busta.
"I get all jittery when there's a cyclone and so does my
cat," he said.
Others in Cooktown spent Thursday boarding up their homes,
clearing yards and stocking up on supplies.
The weather bureau says while Ita was intense, it's a smaller
system and would move slower than category five Cyclone Yasi
in 2011 and category four Cyclone Larry in 2006.

I stayed at Cote Cour only 1 night for a business trip. I picked this place because of my "5 stars hotel fatigue" and its central location. In short: I wanted to be in a cozy place, within walking distance of the Beihai park while enjoying the feel of "old Beijing" & Hutongs. That was the perfect place for it. First, I had a very good contact with the staff on my way from the airport: my taxi didn't know where the hotel was (that's the "hutong's effect"!) and needed guidance. The Girl had flawless English, and was very helpful with my taxi. She was smart enough to push him to enter the hutong, and drop me right at the front door, so I didn't have to walk! The check-in was one of the fastest I ever had. She quickly walked me to my (well-heated) room: I booked a Deluxe and was upgraded to Suite. I was amazed at how beautiful the decoration was: a tasteful combination of Chinese antique and modern design. The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom was awesome, with both rain shower and large bath tub.The rest of the hotel was very lovely too: square traditional court, red lanterns lit at night, and cozy place for meals / drinks upstairs: a large outdoor rooftop terrace with great views of the hutong, as well as an intimate veranda with coffee tables and lots of comfy cushions. Free WIFI everywhere, of course. All Staff without exception were helpful, even the night-guard who helped me to book an airport transfer with the hotel's car, despite the late hour (it was almost 2 AM). Fee for transfer was also quite reasonable: 150 CY. In short, you will love this hotel if you are looking for quality alternative to luxury hotels, and if you are interested to explore a more traditional aspect of Beijing. On the other hand, if you are used to taxi stands right at the front of your hotel and hate walking, probably not your place. A couple of useful tips: 1/ Even if you have a printed map, keep the hotel's phone number handy at all times. Taxis always get confused with hutongs, and they will surely try to "get rid" of you at the main street, when it is actually possible to drive inside the hutong right to the hotel door. 2/ If taxi driver gets grumpy at you for choosing to stay in a hutong, answer him that: "这就是老北京, 师傅! Zhe jiushi lao Beijing, Shifu! (Chill out, man! This is old Beijing after all!) 3/ Eat & drinks: if you don't feel like moving, Cote Cour offers quality local dishes, wine and beers, all very satisfying. There is a mini-bar in your room with complimentary bottled water. If you want to go out: one great under-ground option is to go to the hidden gem Baochao Hutong (10 mn taxi) on Gulou dong Dajie: there are very nice diner options here, like Southern Barbarian and Mr Shi's Dumplings, as well as easy-going bars for drinks (Orchid bar or Cangku). A more upscale option is to go to the Temple's Restaurant on Shatan road, also 10 mn taxi from the hotel: gorgeous contemporary European restaurant sheltered in a gorgeous renovated temple.

Quote:I'll paraphrase describe the SD scenaro for sake of brevity. a narrow walkway. a closed metal gate behind you. fairly thick foliage on both sides of the walkway. in front of you is a 6'2" ex-pro football player wearing gloves and holding a knife, just a few feet in front of you. His 'wife' is laying on the other side of the walkway near the house door, unconscious. He's automatically (and erroneously) accusing you of being there to screw his 'wife'. He's taunting you to attack him, and you are trying to defuse the escallation. He's enraged. The blind, wild-eyed, out his mind, kind of enragement.what can you do? you can't run behind you to the gate and open it without getting attacked in the back. you can't go around him to the house door. The foliage/growth along the path is a thick dead end.a f'ed situation.
Quote: I back up to the gate and see if this triggers increased aggression, or if he holds his position taunting me into violence. If he comes with me and I know for sure I cant get that gate open, then its time to deal with the physical reality of a knife attack. I resign myself to damage to my hands and attempt to take control of the blade (or at least the hand controlling it) and hope I can overpower the guy.
Quote:A pretty disturbing read.
Quote:don't get me wrong Scotty, I have a sense of humor...but this is one of those rare subjects that I fail to find anything funny about.
Quote:Ok in the origonal post it said "Fairly thick foelage on both sides of the walkway"I would try to use the foleage as a barrier or means of escape, it would at least make it harder for him to attack me, and may just even the odds as we would both be fighting in/through the foleage.
Quote:Read my story
Quote: if I'm wearing a very thick jacket I'd wrap it aorund one arm tightly and use it as a sort of shield agaisnt the knife which could at least provide a few slashes worth of protection I'd think. Then attack as aggressively as possible. And probably still die.

The Rich Fabric of Invention
Gogol's 'The Overcoat' has weathered the test of time
In his short, tormented life, the Russian novelist Nikolai Vassilyevich Gogol (1809-1852) managed to write for the ages. His oeuvre is huge. Among the familiar masterworks are "Dead Souls," the first great epic Russian novel; "The Inspector General," a dramatic success; and volumes of Ukrainian and Petersburg tales, rich in folklore and culture with a froth of the supernatural. He is regarded as one of the major influences in the development of realism in Russian literature.
But it is "The Overcoat," the last story that Gogol wrote—perhaps his finest and most famous—that particularly characterizes his legacy. It is a remarkable piece of literary art, displaying Gogol's gift of caricature and imaginative invention. With "The Overcoat," Gogol introduced the short story as a literary form in Russia, providing a new model for other writers of the time. No one said it better than Dostoevsky: "We all came out of Gogol's overcoat."
Gogol, a sickly and delicate infant, was born 200 years ago to parents who were among the countless members of the petty gentry in the Ukraine. Educated at boarding school, he was a poor student but a good mimic. At age 19, he set off for St. Petersburg to make his career and, once there, met Alexander Pushkin, Russia's greatest poet. Three years later, in 1830, he published his first collection of Ukrainian tales, "Evenings on a Farm in Dikanka," which Pushkin was the first to praise. Gogol told Pushkin how his publisher had gone to the shop where the collection was being printed and found the typesetters all laughing merrily as they set the book. Gogol had found an audience.
Through his stories, which contain multitudes, Gogol is principally perceived as a champion of the poor and downtrodden, a writer with an increasingly moralistic point of view. He gave literary life to the "little man," usually a minor official crushed by an insensitive administrative system. This is the theme of "The Overcoat," and Gogol's pathetic little man is Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin, an insignificant copying clerk, wholly dedicated to his work though little appreciated.
The prevalent theme of alienation is closely tied to the story's rendering of the human condition. Akaky has no close friends and is so alienated that he is virtually unable to communicate. He merely wants to copy. He is the subject of derision from his fellow clerks, which he accepts without struggling against it. Akaky's only utterance is poignant: "Let me be. Why do you offend me?" (The translation I use throughout this essay is that of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky in the "Collected Tales" published by Everyman's Library.)
Akaky lives frugally on 400 rubles a year, his only dream to acquire an overcoat to replace the threadbare, irreparable garment he wears against the St. Petersburg winters. He needs a sum equal to one-fifth of that annual income to buy the new coat, and he scrimps and denies himself to obtain the funds. With the one-eyed, drunken tailor Petrovich—a marvelous character who provides the story with some semblance of humor—he selects fine cloth. But there are no perfect moments in Akaky's life, as he must settle for a collar of cat fur instead of marten.
On the day Petrovich delivers the completed coat, Akaky's fellow clerks arrange a party to celebrate the event. He is uncomfortable in the social gathering at his colleague's house and soon leaves in his new coat, which he finds on the floor. On the way home through an unfamiliar district he is attacked, brutally beaten and left unconscious. The longed-for coat—in his possession less than a day—is stolen. The police are ineffective and a fellow clerk advises that he must seek help from an "important personage." His appeal to such an eminence is met with cruel intimidation and summarily ignored. Without hope and vulnerable, he falls gravely ill and days later dies. It is a tale both simple and philosophical, though with a difference. The story has, in Gogol's words, a "fantastic ending"—one of spectral retribution and redemption.
Akaky returns as a phantom and has his revenge. He prowls the dark streets of St. Petersburg, terrifying people and stripping them of their coats. He delights in robbing the "important personage" of his overcoat. The once overbearing personage, now stricken with horror and remorse, redeems himself. The story ends as Akaky's ghost frightens a policeman away with "such a fist, as is not to be found even among the living," and, seemingly taller and more robust, disappears "completely into the darkness of the night."
Some of Gogol's contemporaries interpreted the robbery of the important personage's overcoat by Akaky's ghost as a fate awaiting the unrepentant Russian ruling class—a most prophetic speculation.
"The Overcoat" was begun in 1839, redrafted until 1841. A year later a four-volume edition of Gogol's collected writings was published and "The Overcoat" was included in the third volume. Although Gogol was to live another decade, his creative life—which lasted but 12 years—was virtually over.
The story persists in popular culture, having been adapted in a variety of stage and movie interpretations. Gogol's other works are present in more than 35 films, the most recent being "Taras Bulba," released this year.
Gogol was deeply sensitive, and criticism of his writing from peers drained his spirit. Turning to religion, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1848. Upon his return, greatly depressed, he fell under the influence of the intolerant, fanatical priest Matthew Konstantinovsky. He subjected himself to purgings and bloodletting and a final, fatal fast. He died on May 4, 1852, at age 43, and was buried in Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery.
Vladimir Nabokov allowed that the real Gogol was found only in "The Overcoat." "When he tried to write in the Russian tradition," Nabokov said, "he lost all trace of talent. But in the immortal 'The Overcoat' he let himself go and became the greatest artist that Russia has yet produced."
