Necroposting, but with some good information ... I was debugging a problem where I expected X amount of memory to be allocated, and I saw a few...

I don't know where our current host is, and as far as where it is located I don't really care as long as we don't experience the outages that we have...

We were slow. Then we were down. A ticket was filed and here we are again. And looking for a new host is on the todo list.

No. Do not make requests for copyrighted software here unless you are looking for an original copy that you are looking to purchase. Using our...

Flakiness is a big red flag. Something is being left in a bad state. I don't think your compiler is the cause of the problem though. Do you have...

If you have a "weak" sector on a read the drive probably does not report it. The drive probably makes a note of it, writes the data to a safe place,...

Don't confuse the extended "write & verify" commands with bad sector remapping. Bad sector remapping generally does not happen as a result of a...

We're all adults here. It has never been easier to do research about a product before purchasing it; there really is no excuse for getting suckered...

"You get what you pay for." "Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten." There is nothing to rant about.

Stone - quit the badgering already.
