I woke up to a dead mirrored RAID disk today... but, that's what mirroring is for. My literal life's work of photography and audio from the remaining RAID disk is being backed up to a second RAID as I type. I'm paranoiacally redundant like that.
Despite the fact that my data seems OK, this plunges me into needing to replace at least one hard disk, possibly the whole RAID. I've been buying [LaCie d2](http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11156) drives because they're inexpensive and individually rack-mountable without needing to buy a big, spendy (and overly deep) dedicated rack mount enclosure. I buy in identical pairs and then stripe them as RAIDs.
In a house with eight of these things lying around, the failures are starting to mount (I'd say 50/50 split between power supplies dying and disks themselves dying) and I'm looking to hear about folks' experience with other brands of drives.

] | They say the difference between RAID 1 and RAID 0 is the number of files you'll be able to recover when a drive fails.
I edit directly off of my computer hard drives. When I am finished with a session, I do a manual backup to two identical WD 1tb MyBook USB drives. Write time is slow, but I just walk away and it's done by the time I'm back to editing. I've had good success with those, and terrible success with Seagate drives. I know people that hate WD and swear by Seagate. I don't trust any hard drive any more and prefer to manually archive everything. It could have the same sort risk as RAID setups, for the reasons EMV said, but the drives are only used briefly for backup and power down. WD MyBooks have a nice little processor that actively manages the drives, so you can have them plugged in at all times and know they're not spinning. | +1 for [Glyphs](http://www.glyphtech.com/) - you can find good deals every now and then. [Tekserve](http://www.tekserve.com/) was recently selling 1TB drives for $200.
I used to love the [G-Technology](http://www.g-technology.com/) drives, but then had a string of them end up in total failure - something in their production must have shifted when they became popular. |

] | The variation in personal experiences makes people's opinion on what is the most reliable drive wildly different. One person can say "I have had 3 samsung disks fail on me in the last year, so I'll only buy Western Digital now" while the next has experienced the exact opposite.
Individual accounts don't say anything.
When deciding how you continue your storage strategy, keep the following in mind:
* Mirrored raid is not backup: both drives are doing the exact same thing – writing, spinning and therefore wearing at the same speed. Both are working every time data is requested. Yes, the chances of two drives failing at the same time are smaller than those of one drive failing, but because the raid disks have so much in common, they can't be seen as independent so the risk of data loss is not halved by using two disks.
* Putting identical drives in raid increases the risk of them simultaneously failing even more. They share the design, come from the same manufacturing batch and are shipped and handled together. Getting same-capacity, but different brand disks might impact performance a bit, but it reduces the risk of double drive failure.
* Consider getting a 'real' backup solution: a separate external disk that is physically located somewhere else (in the house, office, whatever), is only used for writing backups rather than daily access of data, preferably spins down or is turned off altogether when not in use and does automated (daily) backups over ethernet or firewire.
This can be a raid system, just make sure you don't use it as daily storage.
As a side note, [storagereview.com](http://www.storagereview.com/php/survey/survey_mfr.php "storagereview.com") runs a hard drive reliability survey (registration required) which might give a slightly better overview of failure rates than individual stories. | I've had a drive fail in a Glyph Raid box, and was advised by their tech department about a suitable replacement, and when that didn't work I found their service pretty rubbish.

] | Glyph Tech is the way to go. At the moment I'm using only Seagate Barracuda 7200.11's, and I use 500Gb ones.

Choose from the three but be careful about the last choice of the three save that one for last (My personal choice) because of the difficulty. First and the most easist and you can find the second bounty but at the same time it is second to most difficult. After that the last bounty you can have the sniper squaddren to help you kill the target and you get two or five rewards (depending if you want the weapons dropped by the other two bounties) The first reward for helping the NCR is a two way radio and the second big reward is the weapon of the third bounty which is a unique weapon if you want to use a melee weapon. But DON'T KILL ANY NCR SOLDIERS! | in the storyline, if you get popular with the NCR they will send someone to you after you leave the lucky 38. you need a good NCR rep BEFORE entering the lucky 38 for this. |

] | A *flippant remark*.
But seriously, I can’t think of anything. | *Makes no sense* and *adds nothing to the conversation* are two expressions which can be but are not necessarily similar. Here it could be argued that the last statement makes sense but adds nothing to the conversation — it simply points out what has already been said and maybe gives us an insight into Mark’s logical abilities or comprehension.
*Non sequitur* might be allowable but this term has a specific meaning. It literally means *does not follow* and is used in formal logic as a description of a logical fault. For example:
>
> All trees are green, The Hulk is green, therefore The Hulk is a tree.
>
>
>
Although it adds nothing to the conversation, there is no logical fault in the example and I would therefore suggest that *non sequitur* is not the best choice here.
That others have argued that there might be some relationship between Mark’s statement and the proceeding conversation implies that *irrelevant* wouldn’t be appropriate either. If Mark had said *Your name is John*, then that would better fit the meaning of *irrelevant*.
In this example I would probably go with something like *inconsequential*, which fits situations where the statement’s validity does not bear on the issue being discussed even though it might be related to the issue.
I think all the words proffered by other answers could be used and that the right choice of word to describe Mark’s statement would depend on when and to whom you were describing it. |

Firstly, Mark's comment is most definitely **not** "redundant", as that connotes superfluousness due to duplication. Your question is based on the belief that Mark's comment is unrelated or logically unconnected, not excessive.
Following your line of reasoning that Mark's comment is unconnected to the previous statement, then it would be properly labelled, "superfluous", "irrelevant", or "a *non sequitur*".
However, I take exception to your basic premise here, that Mark's comment is unconnected to the previous statement. My reading of the example you give is that John's last statement, "But what if teaching is his only source of income?
Would he not be a 'true' teacher then?" breaks the continuity of the discussion by comparing Mary's generalization about teachers to a hypothetical situation that appears to be contrary to the context. If that is the case, then Mark is justified in pointing this out.
That is, if John giving a free lesson is normal, then he may be a "true teacher" by Mary's definition, and his question about teaching as a source of income is inconsistent with the situation and deserves to be cut short to keep the conversation on topic.
However, if John makes a living charging for chess lessons, but he states in front of Mary that he will give a free lesson, then Mark's comment may be read as a cynical inference that John's motives are suspect. | Picking up on Codex24's insight, but taking it in a different direction:
It's John, not Mark, who takes the conversation off course. Mary's definition of *true teacher* has no bearing on how a teacher earns a livelihood but rather on how deeply (or "truly") that teacher is committed to the art/craft/profession of teaching. Just as a *true artist* might be said to be an artist who creates art regardless of its monetary value, so a *true* practitioner of any a/c/p might be one who feels compelled to practice that a/c/p whether anyone will pay or not, and will offer it, at least occasionally, gratis.
Mark's remark may thus be less a superfluity than an oblique objection to John's seemingly uncomprehending and rebuking reply to Mary. Yes, of course, a *true teacher*, on Mary's definition, may make a living by teaching, but only if that teacher also sometimes teaches "off the clock" because of a deep love of teaching and learning. Ironically, Mary's definition is clearly meant as a compliment to John, who--like many recipients of compliments--promptly rejects it, by challenging the validity of its premise.
On this analysis, the answer to the OP's question might be that Mark's comment, far from being irrelevant (or obtuse, erroneous, picayune, worthless, petty, impertinent, tangential, flippant, inane, or senseless), is actually an attempt to steer the conversation back into the course set by Mary. |

Potential Solutions
--------------------
Based on some quick research there may be two options that may help resolve this. . .
1. Enable the [2-Step Verification](https://myaccount.google.com/signinoptions/two-step-verification/enroll-welcome) functionality and security feature with your [Gmail](https://gmail.com) account and then use the **2-Step Verification** to verify and trust the **Windows Mail** app to have access to your **Gmail** account
2. Enable and use the [Less Secure Apps](https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps) functionality by turning that **ON** and using your usual [Gmail](https://gmail.com) account password with the **Windows Mail** app to authenticate

104,186 | I'm creating a networked game and I have a huge problem understanding how to keep everything in sync. Right now I have a server and a client and the client can log in and move a character around using the keyboard arrows.
When a arrow key is hit I send data to the server, that then sends that data out to all the clients and then it moves the appropriate character in a specific direction.
However if I keep on hitting arrow keys eventually the result on two different clients will look different and they fall out of sync. So what is the best way to stop this from happening?
I've read that 1 method is to send data back and forth to figure out the latency between each client and then to include that into the movement, is that really the best method around at dealing with this? In which case would anyone be kind enough to explain in more detail how that works exactly?

I am following Forms over Data Video Series from Microsoft. However, I am creating a databse, different from the one created in the videos.

Therefore, it doesn't really make sense in a general context to say that one is superior to the other because they have different functions.

My main issue with your solution (a simply side note on the other answer) is the simple fact that your node.js application by design has to be cloud facing, e.g., the internet whereas your Redis or other Databases shouldn't.
It doesn't mean you'll have a security issue by all means, but in my opinion it's a best practice to only expose the hosts you really need to, e.g., the ones usually serving content directly to the user.
By not deploying Redis to an internet facing host you enforce a lot of security constrains simply by the topology design of your network.
**Is it ok to host those services in the same box:**
Yes, do run the benchmarks from time to time to check if you need to scale horizontally or just bump up the flooded hosts.
Check: [Redis deployment configuration - master slave replication](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29131003/redis-deployment-configuration-master-slave-replication/29143905#29143905)
**Will I have security problems by having Redis or another service facing the internet?**
If you know what you are doing - no, you won't have security issues. I still wouldn't do it though. | There is very little speed increase in cutting out the "network bottleneck"; redis is so fast that the latency is negligible. The issue with that approach is that if your box crashes then all of your data held in redis is gone unless you are replicating to a slave. If it goes down any other process not on that machince won't beable to access until it restarts. This may be fine for a staging env but I'd guard against it in production. |

Every job gets a record in simpleDB and a task in SQS. You can put any information you like in SimpleDB like the job creation time. When a worker pulls a job from the queue it can grab the corresponding record from simpleDB to determine it's history. You can see how old the job is, and you can see how many times it has been attempted. Once you're done, you can add worker data to the SimpleDB record (completion time, outcome, logs, errors, stack-trace, whatever) and acknowledge the message from SQS.
I prefer this method because it helps diagnose faults by providing lots of debug info for failed tasks. It also allows workers to handle the job differently depending on how long the job has been queued, how many failures it's had, etc.
It also gives you the ability to query SimpleDB directly and calculate things like average time per task, percent failure rate, etc. | Amazon just released Simple workflow serice (swf) which you can think of as a more sophisticated/flexible version of GAE Task queues.

4,943,270 | I'm implementing a task queue with Amazon SQS ( but i guess the question applies to any task-queue ) , where the workers are expected to take different action depending on how many times the job has been re-tried already ( move it to a different queue, increase visibility timeout, send an alert..etc )
What would be the best way to keep track of failed job count? I'd like to avoid having to keep a centralized db for job:retry-count records. Should i look at time spent in the queue instead in a monitoring process? IMO that would be ugly or un-clean at best, iterating over jobs until i find ancient ones..
thanks!

But I got to this stage where my SQL statements contain complex Switches and WHERE conditions where I have another Selects to update appropriate records. Therefore, I create this SQLs and I simply run it via "CurrentDb.Execute strSQL" and it does everything fine.

No reason. If you can do it in plain SQL you can stick with it.
But in MS Access even the SQL is *often* evaluated on the client, so from the performance perspective there is no big difference.
If you would use SQL Server Database as a backend, then that would make a difference.
Anyway, if your SQL gets too complex to understand (you will need to read it later!, won't you?), then you could really split it in smaller chains and functions. | I don't think I've seen a solution in Access that uses pure SQL to create a Rank or even a row number without using a VBA function. |

I think that's particularly true when complex decisions or parsing must take place line-by-line and a form/report or two will be involved.
If the requirements are known, and the SQL works, then there's no real reason to convert. |
71,732 | I have a series of small images in a scrollView and a way of controlling their opacity with a toggle switch. The toggle has two actions:
1. Set all images to full opacity
2. Set all images to low opacity
Normally I would use a slide switch, but the user is able to toggle opacity for individual images by clicking on them. A slide switch would therefore be misleading since more than two states exist.
I was thinking of having two buttons for the corresponding actions. However, since the buttons and images are arranged in series due to limited space, it looks pretty ugly and wasteful of screen space.
What do you think is a good way to do this? | 2015/01/10 | [

] | Tables and visual noise
-----------------------
Based on the example you shared ( Employees/ Location/Salaries) I would say you should move away from the table format which are quite difficult to manipulate and add too much visual noise.
Luke Wroblewski wrote this interesting piece about reducing visual noise in tables:

Modular Approach
----------------
So, to come back to your issue, you can use a more modular approach whereby all types and subtypes are organised in hierarchical manner within a filterable sortable list of items.
To establish hierarchy and emphasise relative importance of types and subtypes you can play around with font size, icons and spacing and equip each item with the relevant primary and secondary calls to action as in the example below:
 | If you are trying to avoid using extra controls and/or have all the data always visible; you can use a fixed 'x' amount of left padding for a subtype.
Then, if you wanted to add another level of subtypes, you can use 2x left padding for that one and so on. |
320,274 | My girlfriend (we'll call her Mary) recently had a loss in her family, and many friends and family were posting comments to Mary's Facebook page expressing their condolences. However, Mary couldn't help but feel that a lot of those comments were insincere. Many of those who were leaving comments had Mary's personal cell phone number, so she found it somewhat peculiar that they would write on her Facebook page where everyone can see instead of texting her privately. It was Mary's granmda who passed away. A few days prior, one relative had left an angel figurine at her bedside as a gift. When the news broke out that Mary's granmda had passed, that same relative posted on Mary's Facebook page asking somewhat impudently if whether or not the angel figurine was in the same room when it happened. Mary couldn't help but feel as if that relative was trying to be boastful about the figurine.

<http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sycophant> | How about "Job's comforter "?
Job comforter means a person who aggravates distress under the guise of giving comfort. I think this is what is going on in your described situation.
Some background knowledge about this term
"Poor Job. He's the biblical character who endures extraordinary afflictions in a test of his piety. He loses his possessions, his children, and his health. And then, to make matters worse, three friends show up to "comfort" him. These friends turn out to be no comfort at all. Instead, they say that the things that have been happening to him happen to all sinners-and point out a number of his faults. In the mid-18th century, English speakers began using the phrase Job's comforter for anyone who offers similarly unhelpful consolation."
Hope this helps. |

5,821,438 | Currently, I have a ASP.net 3.5 web application for which I currently am working on the UI.I have been out of touch of doing web ui's for a while.
When i last did UI related work (way back in 2007), i used the Ajax Control Toolkit - specially the extenders like MaskedEdit Extender etc for implementing a lot of the UI functionality i.e restricting the user from entering incorrect data / formatting etc.
**Question 1:-**
Is there a newer / better / easier way of implementing the functionality similar to the extenders provided by AjaxToolkit that someone would recommend?
**Question 2**
Also, my current application needs to support multiple cultures in terms of the number / date formatting. In my experience with Ajax extenders, for eg in MaskedEditExtender, I would have to specify the Mask explicitly which defeats the whole purpose of it being able to switch formats depending on the currently selected culture. Is anyone aware of the latest / greatest way in terms of controls etc that I can achieve this?
Note: I am open to lightweight 3rd party controls that could help me do this but would prefer not to touch heavycontrols like infragistics / telerik kinds mainly due to their learning curve / cost. | 2011/04/28 | [

[jQuery Toolkit](http://jquery.codeplex.com/) for ASP.net is supposed to be quite easy but i find that [jQuery UI](http://jqueryui.com/) does everything that you need it to do and doesn't have too much of a learning curve.

] | Thanks for the first draft, I think we’re on a good path already.
Below a few thoughts where I feel a bit of tweaking may make the design better.
1. My knee-jerk reaction was to the flowers: While there are plenty of [tetrameric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merosity) flowers, the majority of flowers have one or multiple circles of three or five petals. For an abstract representation of a blossom, I feel either a simple **five**-petal design (think apple or cherry blossom) or **six** petals (like tulips) would better - it’s what humans tend to primarily associate with “flower”.
2. I share kevinskio’s sentiments re. the shade of brown. It’s too dark, which makes it too sombre and severe. I get the “soil” association, but it nevertheless feels too much. I am fine with brown per se, but am open to other colors - a gentle green perhaps?
3. The green from the color chart could be a hint more yellow, as most plants tend to have warmer (-> yellow) rather than cooler (-> blue) greens. That said, as a **font** color, I think a bit darker overall would noticeably improve readability. I struggled a bit when looking at the sample site, it was just that touch too light to read at a glance. | I prefer mixed case over the all-caps logo - all-caps looks too severe and is NEVER a choice as a headline in technical writing.

I am not convinced that - if we are going for one symbol only - a flower is the best choice. Flowers are one aspect of gardening and landscaping, but not the central one.

I assume by "choke", you mean a significant event, like death or aspiration pneumonia, not merely coughing or gagging. The latter are actually ways to clear the throat (kind of the opposite of choking.)
Without going into too much detail, there are reflexes which work very well to keep us alive. Coughing out and/or swallowing vomitus to keep the airway clear is one of those.
People who die from choking on vomit are those who are neurologically impaired in some way. For example, heroin use, heavy intoxication, unconsciousness (not the same as sleep!), a stroke, or prematurity (born before those reflexes are perfected) can dull that reflex, and that's why that kind of death can happen in those populations.
[Babies who are neurologically intact will clear their airway](https://www1.nichd.nih.gov/sts/about/Pages/faq.aspx#q2), even of copious amounts of vomit, very well.

No. If you're not worried about your spouse choking in their sleep, you needn't worry about your baby, though worrying about babies is very common, normal, and natural.

Usually when babies spit up in their sleep, they simply swallow it or it ends up on the bedsheet/child's collar, etc. No one even wakes up. But if she's having a rough time of it for some reason, her cough/distress should wake you up. If you're sleeping in a different room (**not recommended practice** according to the American Academy of Pediatrics), please use a monitor set on 'loud' to detect distress of any kind. Room sharing done correctly is the recommendation.

] | If a register is clocked with a system clock, it would be considered synchronous.
If that same register were clocked directly from a gate, logic circuit or generally anything besides a system clock it would be asynchronous.
Altera's registers can be clocked from multiple system clocks, or by logic.
You can build whatever type of gate circuitry you desire. . . It's been my experience with most kinds of ASICs or FPGAs that each time it is compiled, something is routed different. Thus propagation delays are always changing. | Depending upon the complexity of your circuit.. If your design is mostly digital, you might look at using Altera's Quartus system. Input your design with graphical and/or VHDL tools using asyncronously clocked registers or use just logic gates. Add dummy buffers, gates, signal pins etc.. as needed to delay signal paths to match whatever you need. (assuming your design is slower than their fastest CPLD gate delays <5 ns)
Many years of designing with their chips, I never found an errant simulator result. Smaller designs can be done with their free tools. |

] | An FPGA is the right hardware. But you won't be able to use the synchronous-focused synthesis software, because it makes the wrong transformations.
For example, an FPGA is perfectly capable of forming an oscillator built with an inverter chain. But if you define that inverter chain in e.g. VHDL and use one of the standard compilers, "NOT-gate pushback" will eliminate inverters pairwise and leave you with only one, and the device won't oscillate.
You may have to write some of your own synthesis software, which will be possible if you get enough information on the bitstream. I'd look into other research efforts that operate on the bitstream rather than the behavioral description -- things like glitch detection and reliability analyses are highly dependent on the mapping chosen by the synthesizer. Probably some work in the area of redundant fault-tolerant logic has already worked out some custom mapping techniques, since common product term elimination is one of the standard transformations performed by a traditional synthesizer, and absolutely destroys a redundant design.
When you control the usage of the FPGA logic element primitives such as lookup tables and local and global interconnect, you'll be able to use the inherent delays to realize your asynchronous design. Your optimization problem is a lot more difficult than fitting with the goal of meeting setup-and-hold times, but that's what makes it research. | Depending upon the complexity of your circuit..

] | The Theseus logic NCL has been mentioned, there was also Handshake systems (Philips spin off) as well as Fulcrum Microsystems and Caltech. There was a asynchronous ARM processor called Amulet as well. And SUN Microsystems had a processor design team for this as well for a clockless SPARC.
I would call these clockless designs to avoid the confusion between logic design like ripple counters and these types of circuits. But in general either term is used.
DC (Design Compiler) from Synopsys as well Merlin from FTL systems also used to be available.
However, if you have a properly designed library of core cells this top level abstraction/description can become trivial. The core issue is that if you've designed a system that allows each cells to propagate forward a signal that says "result good" as well as propagating backwards "system available" the system self clocks and as such can be simply designed very much like software without concern for race conditions or timing for that matter.
So the tools used would be as simple as SPICE for cell level (transistor level) design and C for compiling into a set of primitives to be placed. For the life of me I can't find the C based tool (open source) that was used.
Look to people like Wesley Clark (He passed away recently) as well Ivan Sutherland and Karl Fant (mentioned elsewhere too). | Depending upon the complexity of your circuit..

37,927 | I've read in various Holocaust memoirs that the difference between being a "half-Jew" and "full Jew" could mean life or death. Obviously, Nazi treatment of a "half-Jew" was better than a "full Jew", but to what extent? What are some examples of people surviving because of better treatment by Nazis because they were "half-Jews"? | 2017/05/07 | [

] | Half Jews, with exactly two Jewish grandparents, could qualify as [First Degree Mischlings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischling) (mixed bloods), rather than Jews. In order to do so, they had to AVOID doing the following:
>
> 1) Being a member of the Jewish religious community.
>
> 2) Being married to a full Jew.
>
> 3) Being born to either married or unmarried parents, one of whom was Jewish and one not, after certain dates.
>

This would spare them the death camps, but leave them ineligible for "public" occupations such as teaching, being a government official, or working in the media. After 1942, they could not marry "Aryans," and marrying Jews would make them Jewish, and eligible for death camps. | My understanding is that it could make a big difference. I think circumstances that weighed in the favor of someone considered to be Jewish weighed more so if the person was half-Jewish. So being a half-Jew *plus* being a WW1 veteran might mean better treatment than full-Jew and WW1 vet. There were people of known Jewish ancestry in the SS (in rare, perhaps singular cases) but had that person been a full Jew, vs having a single Jewish grandparent, perhaps that person would not have been given special dispensation as he was. |

Now, this Assassin's Creed game covers the life of Ezio Auditore, an assassin who lived in Italy during the Renaissance period. All the buildings, like the Colosseum, different churches, etc. are all in their correct position in the game. The date and place of death of the Pope (Rodrigo Borgia) in the game is also correct. The buildings in the game and the dresses of different characters, all give a feel of Italy of those times.
**Question:** Does the music in the video, that I linked above, also follow typical Renaissance music structure? | 2016/06/13 | [

] | I believe the tune in that extract is "Ezio's family" by Jesper Kyd, who composed the music for AC 1 and 2
I don't believe the structure or composition techniques of the extract have anything particularly to do with Rennaissance. More about evoking a mood, I think. Renaissance music may evoke a mood, but that isn't usually the primary purpose. So far as I know, Renaissance music has a particular purpose - it's for a choir to sing in a church service, or it's to accompany dancing or entertainment, or it's a song.
So I think the intent and structure have more in common with the 19th C "Romantic" time ("program music"), or the modern day too - film scores etc.
Some examples of Rennaissance music and structure on youtube :
1) Structure - "polyphony" or many parts interweaving, rather than a melody with accompaniment. Usually a text in Latin for use in a religious service
"Qui habitat" by French/Flemish composer Josquin des Prez <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNm9tNZePew>
2) Structure : dance music, with repeated tunes, similar to folk music
Selection of instrumental
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hYwiPmQlD8>
3) Instrumental music. Has its roots in dance music, or songs, which is why individual pieces are named after dances e.g. "Pavane"

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxD8FrR7uco> | Excellent answer from Angst!
On an harmonic perspective, the piece inquired about is also far from typical renaissance music, which tends to be somewhat static or obey to basic tonal progressions.
The piece inquired about uses a descending progression sometimes called Andaluzian progression for its reminiscence of flamenco music. There are a few notable examples of the Andalusian progression in music from the renaissance, but they are isolated cases, not typical of the music of the era.
For those who care, the progression can be seen as part of the Phrygian mode, and modal harmony was sometimes used in renaissance music, as opposed to the classical or romantic periods.
Jazz music is the main responsible for the more generalized use of modal harmony in modern music, but the use has been generalized to all genres of music, so nowadays in you can find examples of chord progressions outside of the more common major and minor tonalities in rock, pop, classical and, perhaps especially in film and game music, as the use of modal harmony helps to establish specific moods and enviroments.
This type of progression, explained in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0izB-ZhuWQ), has been used (battered, I should say) in many many pieces.
One of my favourite examples of the usage of this same progression is from Rick Wakeman's 1973 album the Six Wifes of Henry VIII, in the [beginning of the track "Catherine Parr"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5DemBYmn5g), although the progression here used is only the first 3 chord of the "andaluzian" progression.
Funny, the subject of this album is also about a renaissance character, but unless the composer of Assassins Creed was inspired by the album, that's just a coincidence. |

] | Characters who are knocked down are invulnerable to nearly all attacks. When standing up after being knocked down, you always have a chance to block an incoming attack, although it might be difficult to do correctly if the opponent crosses you up.
After rising up, there is also a very short time frame (2 frames) before a character can be thrown. Against Zangief and throws in general, if you use a reversal move with start-up invincibility (dragon punches, etc.), it is possible to hit them if they try to throw you. You can do this against regular attacks as well, but keep in mind that reversals put you in a bad position if blocked.
In other words, no, you can't do anything while being knocked down, but you always have a chance to block or evade their attack after getting up. It is not always easy, and specific situations might require a bit of practice. Knocking the opponent down is a very advantageous situation exactly because it severely limits their options.
However, if you are knocked down by an attack other than a throw, sweep, super, ultra, or certain specials, it is possible to decrease the knockdown time drastically by doing a tech, also called a quick stand or quick rise. This can be done by hitting two attack buttons or tapping the joystick down just as you are about to hit the ground. While teching makes it more difficult to follow up in most situations, it does not entirely remove the problem related to being knocked down; you still need to anticipate and deal with the opponent's next move.
Also, while it might not be relevant to you, a new mechanic added in the Ultra version allows a player to very slightly delay their wakeup from hard (untechable) knockdown. It is also done by hitting two attack buttons or holding the joystick down, and can be used to throw off an opponent's timing. This can be useful if the opponent tries to time a throw on wakeup, for example.
