Imagine that , a "power outage " kills 50% of the entire DB including backups on a raid 10 setup ?

I have to say that sounds strange as hell .

Its really not that strange. It happens.

Remember raid is not a backup. This is why you do daily backups of the database and all site data. At any moment this can happen.

In Topic: So is OS X Lion worth it or wait for Mountain Lion ?

I might be the only person that has had a bad experience with Lion, either way , a wasted 30 bucks. And will be removed from my machine as soon as I can take the time.

The longer I use it , the slower it gets. Seriously reminds me of ( what was the last windows rippoff ? ) Where you were expected to have a fresh from the shelve machine or you suffered physical resource issues. Each time the machine is restarted , it takes longer to boot, while streaming HD video from the net, the entire system is literally choppy. Where snow leopard was not.

I suppose when you make the move to the pretties instead of usability , you need more resources , in which is ridiculous.

Have had none of those issues and I have done clean installs and upgrades. What mac are you running it on?

In Topic: what's your favorite browser...

For my favourite i picked IE (IE6)

I like IE6 the best because I can trust its not spying on me.. And it looks the nicest (Last good version)

For my LEAST FAVOURITE i picked CHROME

Theres no doubt with how intrusive google is that they are spying on everyone who uses that browser!!

You do know its not the browser that spys on you, its the website typically with tracking cookies. Since all browsers support cookies you can be tracked using any one.

Hey Addi,

I can't pull my full speeds on 1G lines either... It could be a limitation of the host computer. Realize that for connections as fast as yours... you can't realy max them out here. It's going through your browser so any browser limitations also come into play. I've even noticed that hard drive speed can be a factor in your results here (on really fast connections that becomes noticeable after a SSD upgrade for instance). Your computer has to be able to quickly process the amount of information that's being loaded into the browser. ...This is not just a simple test of your Internet, that's just how it started.

In the future I plan on releasing command line testing utilities that will make testing on those types of connections REALLY accurate.

Thanks for the feedback and support

The hard drive is a big one with really fast connections. But I've also noticed that the NIC can come into play with really fast connections. Even tho they are gigabyte I've noticed that some cheap ones can't manage any kind of sustained transfers at high speed.

In Topic: Could this be a failing storage drive ?

Is this on like a VPS or a dedicated box? If you want to look into see if the drive is having any issues run FSCK on it. But I would look into chucking plesk out the window and replace it with cPanel if you need a control panel.
