Fusion-IO Launches the Fastest SSD Ever

Fusion-IO managed to take the concept of Solid State Drive to a whole new level through the launch of their new ioDrive able to reach the highest levels of performance ever delivered by a SSD. The new Fusion-IO product does not resemble a standard SSD, either in form or in delivered speed, which is stated to reach 800MB/s for read operations (about four times more speed than the fastest SATA SSD on the market) and about 680MB/s for write. The drive is also able to handle 100,000 random IOPS :)

Nuclear Fusion Will Become Reality by 2011

The only fusion reactions thus far produced by humans to achieve ignition are those which have been created in hydrogen bombs, the first of which, Ivy Mike, is shown here

The concept of nuclear fusion is something that scientists dream about ever since the mid 1940s, after the fission reaction was first obtained, and the first atom bomb was created.

Since then, nuclear energy became a part of our daily lives, with plants being built all across the globe, from Korea to India, the US, China, and Russia. Smaller countries, such as Romania and Bulgaria, also possess nuclear energy, providing electricity to a large percentage of their national grids.

How to Install Compiz Fusion on Ubuntu

The following guide will teach you (step by step) how to install Compiz Fusion on your Ubuntu (Kubuntu) 7.04 operating system. Be aware that Compiz Fusion is still in heavy development, so it may not be very stable. For me (at this moment) it’s pretty stable, as I didn’t encounter any bugs.

Layout Test

This is a sticky post!!! Make sure it sticks!

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

This should then split into another page with images and other things…

Block quotes

Some block quote tests:

Here’s a one line quote.

This part isn’t quoted. Here’s a much longer quote:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. In dapibus. In pretium pede. Donec molestie facilisis ante. Ut a turpis ut ipsum pellentesque tincidunt. Morbi blandit sapien in mauris. Nulla lectus lorem, varius aliquet, auctor vitae, bibendum et, nisl. Fusce pulvinar, risus non euismod varius, ante tortor facilisis lorem, non condimentum diam nisl vel lectus. Nullam vulputate, urna rutrum vulputate molestie, sapien dolor adipiscing nisi, eu malesuada ipsum lectus quis est. Nulla facilisi. Mauris a diam in eros pretium elementum. Vivamus lacinia nisl non orci. Duis ut dolor. Sed sollicitudin cursus libero.

Proin et lorem. Quisque odio. Ut gravida, pede sed convallis facilisis, magna dolor egestas dolor, non pulvinar metus magna in velit. Morbi vitae sem sit amet arcu vehicula gravida. Morbi placerat, est id pulvinar sollicitudin, ante augue vestibulum turpis, eu ultrices pede metus sit amet justo. Suspendisse metus. Mauris convallis mattis risus. Nullam et ipsum eu magna hendrerit pellentesque. Ut malesuada turpis nec orci. Donec at urna imperdiet libero tincidunt lacinia. Phasellus mollis leo pharetra velit. Quisque tortor.
