Abstract: A RAID controller stores data in a hybrid asymmetric mix of a RAID 1 mirror and a parity-based RAID array, wherein a first side of the RAID 1 mirror includes a single data storage device storing an operating system image and a second side of the RAID 1 mirror includes a plurality of data storage devices forming a parity-based RAID array. The RAID controller normally calculates parity using data from both the single data storage device and the plurality of data storage devices. However, in response to a user command, the RAID controller recalculates parity stripes on each of the plurality of data storage devices using a predetermined data pattern for a logical data storage device logically replacing the single data storage device storing the operating system. Accordingly, the same stripe count is maintained and the parity-based RAID array maintains redundancy despite physical separation of the single data storage device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for social network crowd translation. A method for social network crowd translation includes selecting a source document to be translated into a specific target language from a source language and parsing the document to determine a context for the source document. The method also includes querying a social network for different individuals with profile data indicating proficiency with the target language and including keywords mapping to the context of the document. Thereafter, in response to locating an individual in the social network having profile data which indicates proficiency with the target language and including keywords mapping to the context of the document, the located individual is notified of a request to translate the document.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving the quality of the posts in a social network. A topic of a post to a social network environment is identified using natural language processing. The tense of the post directed to the identified topic is detected using natural language processing. The post is transformed to a suggested post of a second tense directed to the same topic to the user using natural language processing. A suggested message to be posted by the user to the social network in a third tense (e.g., past tense) based on the posts directed to the identified topic in the first and second tenses (e.g., future and present tenses) is generated using natural language processing thereby forming a past/present/future pairing of posts. By forming a past/present/future pairing of posts, a more complete and understandable view of the user's personal history may be obtained.

Abstract: Configuring a computing system to delay a system update, including: receiving, by an update management module, an update descriptor associated with an available system update, the update descriptor including information identifying a targeted system configuration to be updated by the available system update; determining, by the update management module, whether the available system update should be blocked; responsive to determining that the available system update should be blocked, determining, by the update management module, whether the computing system can be reconfigured such that the computing system does not operate using the targeted system configuration; and responsive to determining that the computing system can be reconfigured such that the computing system does not operate using the targeted system configuration, reconfiguring, by the update management module, the computing system to operate without using the targeted system configuration.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for data routing alteration to avoid a specified end user. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for data re-routing for specific end user avoidance includes receiving a request to route a file to a primary location and identifying an end user excluded from accessing the document. The method also includes computing a likelihood that the excluded end user may contemporaneously access the primary location. Finally, the method includes responding to a determination that the excluded end user is likely to contemporaneously access the primary location by taking corrective measures to re-route the file to an alternate location.

Abstract: A method for organizing messages may include detecting, by a processor, receipt of each new message of an activity stream comprising a group of messages and determining, by the processor, a tense associated with each new message. The method may also include associating, by the processor, the tense with each new message. At least the tense may be used for organizing the group of messages of the activity stream. The method may additionally include adding, by the processor, each new message and the associated tense of the message to the activity stream.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are RAID backup management systems and methods. According to an aspect, a method may include identifying portions of data in each of multiple storage units of a RAID system. The method may also include backing up data in the identified portions to a hot spare. Further, the method may include allocating storage space in the hot spare for the backup based on detection of errors among the storage units.

Abstract: A method is provided including running an application on a computer having a display, wherein the application requires external network access. The method further includes determining a number of people gathered around the computer, and automatically changing the network priority of the application as a function of the number of people determined to be gathered around the computer.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product enables the sharing of an overlapping area on a shared projection. A system detects an overlapping area on a shared projection, which presents content from a first projection and a second projection. A computing device identifies any redundant resources, which perform the same function as one another, in the first projection and the second projection. A consolidated resource, which provides the same function as the redundant resources, is defined and/or created, and then displayed in the overlapping area.
