Saves lot of heat too - my NAS does that and it's fan hardly ever moves.
And heat is a killer for electronics as well as bearings - lowers the MTBF from my experience.

Very true...looking forward to trying those supposed 10TB SSD drives that Intel has been bragging about
|
|
|
|
|
Now I'd like four of those in a NAS, set up for RAID5!
But I'd hate the mortgage I'd probably need to get one...

That's for sure! ...prices on SSD's are definitely coming down some, though...was thinking of trying one for my C: drive by imaging the existing stuff off my old one...don't know if that would work or not though.
I'm not quite ready to replace this box yet, but it would be nice to give it a boost.

I know what you mean - my C is 1TB, so I'd need that size to mirror it - currently it's just over £300 for 1TB (Dabs[^]) and that's $550 Canadian.
Probably more than I want to spend upgrading this system - I'll probably want a faster processor, more ram, and Win10 as well when I update next.

I'll never forget trying to trying to teach my father-in-law how to 'browse' the internet. Scrolling was an issue... "why do I click the down arrow to make the page go up?" In general, the laptop was just too difficult for him...so we got him an iPad which he did much better on.

He has a point about the scrolling.

I was writing an application which takes credit card payment and to create a list of months I used
DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo.MonthNames and I got surprised when I got 13 elements as a return. Jan to Dec and an empty month. I wonder why it was done like that ?
string[] allMonths = DateTimeFormatInfo
.InvariantInfo
.MonthNames;
Console.WriteLine("No of Months : {0}", allMonths.Length);
for (int i = 0; i < allMonths.Length; i++) Console.WriteLine("Month {0} {1}", i, allMonths[i]);
Why put 13th element as "" string ?

So a ListBox or similar can show an "unselected" value?
A problem we ran into at one job I had was credit cards with month 00.
|
|
|
|
|
To stay in line with some calendars (Hebrew) that can have a 13th month?
|
|
|
|

TIL that the Hebrew calendar can have an extra month to keep it's lunar cycle in sync with the solar year. Source[^]

Maybe this was converted from unmanaged code (where the length of an array is unknown). You would just iterate over the months until you found an empty string.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Earth's rotation is gradually getting slower and instead of adding an extra day every couple of years it will one day be more convenient to add an extra month.
I guess a good name just hasn't been found yet.

Actually there is a good reason for that. Depending on your locale, some calendars have 13 months. This is especially true for cultures that have the lunar calendar, thus adding an extra month once every so many years.

Sounds about right. I see this often on other web sites, where they don't specify something is required, but you only find out after clicking on Submit.
