	Corporate raid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corporate raids became the hallmark of a handful of investors in the 1970s and 80s who built up large lines of credit and were able to purchase huge companies for little or no cash, often through the issuance of junk bonds.
		Proponents of the corporate raid argue that companies which have huge assets and low stock prices are not managing their money well and should either attempt to regain market confidence (thereby boosting their share prices) or else liquidate some of their assets and return the money to their shareholders.
		Some believe that one side effect of the corporate raiding era is that companies are much more defensive, which many argue is not a good thing for the economy.

	RAID[sup.n]: a revolutionary alternative to expensive, unreliable RAID Computer Technology Review - Find Articles
		The idea of RAID is to combine multiple, inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives that appears to the computer as a single drive.
		RAID 1 is commonly used to protect critical information by mirroring all data on one drive to another drive to provide higher availability for mission-critical data.
		RAID 5+1 is designed to overcome the limitations of RAID 1+0 and RAID 5 by combining the two.

		In general RAID is oriented more toward commercial/corporate applications, where the loss of a hard drive on a server would be extremely costly.
		Depending on the RAID type used, in most cases the hard drive can simply be replaced, and the data on it is still mirrored on another disk.

		Throughout the 1990s, corporations used the rising stock market to fatten pension accounts rather than contributing profits to provide a more adequate cushion.
		The corporation's potential liability for pension payouts in 2001 alone was its largest ever, $3.6 trillion.
		This is as large as the total combined new liabilities it took on from 1993 to 2000.

		Whenever U. corporations shift production process, or create downturns and crisis in the economy, or perceive a threat to their social authority, then schools come under the gun.
		Corporations now want workers who can fill temporary, or part-time positions, come in and complete a project, or function in the service industries with a minimum of supervision.

	RAID Data Recovery and Critical Server Data Salvaging Services Guide
		RAID 0 doesn't offer data redundancy and requires a minimum of two hard drives to be totally restored as a requirement for completing a successful RAID recovery.
		Although RAID 5 does stripe all available drives into a single large volume, space equal to one of its hard drives is used to store parity data.
		Total RAID capacity is calculated by subtracting the space of two drives from the sum of all the hard drives.

	Acronis Resource Center :: Tips & Tricks :: Raid 0 for Better Performance
		RAID 0, also known as "striping," breaks files into chunks and saves the chunks across two or more disks.
		For protection from drive problems you can use other RAID levels, such as RAID 5 or RAID 10, which combine data protection with striping at the cost of performance and disk capacity.
		RAID 0 can be implemented either in hardware with a special disk controller, or in software.

		Rapid corporate evolution and frequent restructuring - including downsizing, rightsizing and outsourcing - mean an employee can no longer rely upon a "job for life." We believe that those who have the ability to learn and apply new skills are most likely to achieve career success and personal fulfillment.
		Corporate culture claims to solve the problems of schooling by remaking the school in the image of the corporation.
		Incontrovertibly, the corporate media trust is selling the public on privatization through news and entertainment which portrays privatization as the only option, which equates capitalism with democracy and which actively depoliticizes citizens.

		So while "Corporate Raid" isn't nearly all bad, enough of it is. Though the Phalanx show potential on "Make Moves," "Another Rampage," and "Divorce," they just aren't able to keep up that good impression for an entire album, which is a shame.

		The decision to use RAID depends on your reliability and performance requirements, your budget, and your ability to deal with the complexity of the setup.
		Possible ways of using RAID range from simply duplicating the contents of one drive on another (called "mirroring"), which provides an instantly available, working copy if one of the drives fails; to splitting data bits across multiple drives (called "striping"), which increases writing and reading performance; to a mixture of both features.
		RAID mirroring will not protect you if, for example, you delete important files from a mirrored RAID setup: You'll delete files from both drives.
