Thank you for posting this guide--very interesting and useful info. I was a little bit surprised to see Storage Spaces used at the levels suggested, though. From what I've read, Storage Spaces were designed more for the SMB market and situations where high throughput wasn't a requirement. The solutions in this document seem to be aimed higher than that market. Has something changed with Storage Spaces since launch, or are the performance characteristics better than previously thought, or...?

Watching this seems like déjà vu! Did anyone happen to see the movie "Stealth" back in 2005? Granted, EDI had a flight deck to make it seem more human, or relatable to humans.

I digress...

It will be really intersting to see UCAS Salty Dog 502 make it's first landings in the coming weeks. I am interested to know whether or not it can capture the 3 wire and, if it missed, know whether or not to bolter.

This bird is the Ictinia Mississippiensis (Mississippi Kite). See www.bing.com/search.

Much better pics than mine at www.bing.com/.../search

It's a joy to watch in the air on our walks.

Some friends and I took a class from your beautiful wife (we are the ones in the picture on her blog dated 5/3/12) and she came up in conversation this weekend. I was attempting to look her up to see about taking another class. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. She was a remarkable woman as I am sure you know. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
