ok, perhaps, maybe, but then it's 17% chance of losing data after a mirror or raid-5 rebuild with 2TB drives, or the double of that if using 4TB drives. That's not very amusing…

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
