  1. The missing subtext here is that drives fail, and that (inevitable?) failure should be planned for. To do otherwise seems hubristic.
  2. Because there are only two types of hard drives in the world? Those that have failed. Those that haven't failed. Yet.

  7. Better resource for audio frequency Audio frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Which tells us that someone built A Contrabass that plays a 4Hz Tone Kudos to aerius for being aware of the 16.35Hz B
  8. That P. T. Barnum was an optimist?
  9. Why not just end the debate, and use a software tone generator, say like ►►Test Tone Generator Software for Windows / Function and White Pink Noise Generator and generate tones of the exact frequency you desire, or a series so you can find the threshold of interest. Or, in case your computer hardware is the limiting factor, get a real hardware tone generator, for some real "old school" analog sine waves. You must know some one with access to physics / electronic test gear? Failing that, do you have a Theremin handy?

  11. But surely, the Harbeth logo should be on the outer edge, not the inner edge, of the monitors, if you want to widen the soundstage? Seriously, Sweeeeet rig. And you still get billable work done?

  21. Given that there was a(n internal) definition for Ninja Loans, (No Income, No Job, And no assets) I think we can say that some people were well aware they were engaging in predatory (mortgage) lending, yet still carried on. Commission driven sales tend to motivate the salesperson, not necessarily with the buyers best interests at heart.
  22. So when people make decisions, and they are de-coupled from the consequences of their decisions they have less incentive to care? In economics, this is known as an externality: the cost of a decision that is borne by people other than those taking the decision. For example - politicians who only care about being re-elected. The long term problems they create, are a problem, not for them, but for their successors. Fund managers - driven by quarterly results, and their bonus assessment based on quarterly results. Then jumping ship after getting that fat bonus. It is short term thinking divorced from long term consequences. Buy Now!, pay later. But as John Maynard Keynes said "Long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead."
