<i>Maybe they'll someday succeed in having the courts rewrite the MP3 standard to use just zeroes, instead of 0s and 1s.</i><br><br> You know MP3 is not a "standard" per se. <a href="http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/amm/licensing/i ndex.html">MP3 is a patented technology</a> in Germany. If you made a change to their specification, you would probably have to license their technology... Assuming you wanted to call your change an MP3, and use those copies of/dev/null in a country that recognizes the patent.
Here is your optimal MPEG Layer III compliant (almost zero length file): -----cut begin---- ÿû°d ------cut end----- (ÿû°d)
Because really if we are going to have all zeroes, you might as well make it an optimal size through compression.
This is definitely a good recommendation. ATA over Ethernet has comparable performance to a similar SCSI configuration. Additionally the price tag is not quite as hefty. Coraid's prices range from $2,000 for 2 Terabytes - $4,000 for 7.5 Terabytes. That does not include the price of a NAS server. Like the parent said you should be able to homebrew this. You could possibly set it up on the Mac G5 you currently use. Making the assumption that you can easily set up an NFS server in Mac OSX.
If storing all that data was important to my livelihood, it would be hard for me to not justify this investment.
Other options, are optical storage, which is not working out for you currently. Of course, you could drop a couple thousand on a good tape-drive, and spend several hours backing up, and restoring. Then you have to deal with worn tapes, and eventually a worn out tape drive. Of course, you may outgrow your tape solution and have to invest a few more thousand in a larger capacity tape-drive.
On the other hand, the biggest problem in a fault-tolerant RAID is taking a few seconds to unplug a dead drive, and replace it.
Ghost 4 Unix Pros: 1) It's free. 2) You don't have to start the cloning process over if one machine fails. 3) Some versions of Norton Ghost do not catch the boot sector. This can be a problem when you want to have a boot loader on the MBR. 4) It does an actual disk dump. No proprietary format here.
Ghost 4 Unix Cons: 1) In some cases, it is not fast. Hey, it's faster than piping this over a SSH connection. 2) It doesn't do multicast, a benefit of Norton Ghost. Which lets you send the image out as a broadcast to all the machines.
My experiences with Norton Ghost: The multicast feature can crash some networking equipment. There is nothing more annoying than getting 97% done and having to start over on one or all of the machines. Norton Ghost can bring a large network to it's knees. You may need to carry the Ghost server around with you. Especially if your network spans more than one building or floor.
My experiences with Ghost for Unix: I setup an FTP server in the lab I was working in. There is no special server software, just a plain old FTP server. Dumped the master image on the FTP server. Started about 20 clients imaging. Go and grab a lunch or two. Come back and start any failed downloads later. It worked even on a dusty old switch known to crash with Norton Ghost. How cool is that?
Having target machines was included in the demonstration at the last event. Microsoft employees watched as the systems were compromised. This article did not give any technical details of the activities of this year's event.
Article sounds like it was just a regular old trade show. The article mentions a social mixer, a meeting for executives, and a meeting for engineers. Surely there was something more interesting than this that happened, but it isn't in this article.
You'll have to excuse me for starting a flamewar. I don't mean to disagree with you. My original point though, since I did not state it clearly to begin with... Children's actions are censored every day, because someone decides for them what is right and wrong. Which means an adult has to exercise that right for them. Children don't hold any exclusive rights or freedoms because there has to be a guardian responsible. Like I said before, they have the right to not be abused (or the right to a responsible guardian).
So as long as it is not vulgar, indecent, or disruptive, then they have freedom of speech. As soon as a parent or school official gets offended by evolution, religion, or "Harry Potter" the subject matter becomes indecent or vulgar to the beholder. The modern day example of course is Evolution vs. Intelligent Design. In addition to deciding what actions of children are appropriate, adults often decide what content is appropriate for them. Which is more on topic than actually censoring them or a child's freedom of speech. See how those are exclusive?
Ok, so I will give you and the ACLU this. Schools shouldn't have to censor or dumb down things for kids if they have educational value. Something being offensive is too vague, because of political correctness.
Seriously, do you see putting a bold 18 sticker on the game Grand Theft Auto having anything to do with anyone's Freedom of Speech? What educational value does Grand Theft Auto have? I suppose beating a prostitute to a bloody pulp with a golf club could be used to teach them a lesson about biology or perhaps anti-social psychological disorders.
How does preventing minors getting a hold of a game designed for adults infringe on the freedoms and rights of children? Isn't this in the same ballpark as Big Tobacco marketing the cartoon camel to children? If the game is designed for adults, then only adults should be permitted to purchase it. If the game contains gratuitous violence then maybe it should be illegal to market it to young children.
...It's not like a child mouthing off is going to bring down the world.
I didn't say that it would. Children do not have the right to vote, so it follows that they have no say in how they get censored. So the First Amendment/Free Speech does not apply in this argument about video games being censored for the sake of children. As a matter of fact there are laws that censor and restrict children's rights already in place.
The Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a good example, which is supposed to protect those under the age of 13 from online predators. This keeps some children out of forums and websites that actually respect that law. Although, it's kind of a joke since it is just a matter of a checkbox. Yahoo takes it a step further and requires a Credit Card verification for new accounts. We have Television ratings, Music ratings, Movie ratings, and Game ratings in place to protect children. The game ratings didn't really work out so well, because they were either never enforced or parents didn't really care. They have been putting Explicit Advisories on music for how long, now?
I am all for freedom of speech. You know Wal-Mart censors audio CD's for the sake of kids. I get carded at the movies for the sake of the kids. Libraries have banned book lists for the sake of the kids. I really don't care if they throw a big bold 18 sticker on Grand Theft Auto. It's a game for adults. I don't expect kids to have access to certain things like alcohol, tobacco, and pornography (exception of Internet porn) without proof of age. Why should games be any different.
Seriously, it bothers me more that Catcher in the Rye is scarce in High School libraries. If you want to fight for Freedom of Speech there are better things to fight for than Grand Theft Auto.
Children have the right to not be abused, and the right to a state funded education. They do not have the right to vote, or the freedom of speech for that matter.
I read the article, and looked at their webpage. I do not recall anything about them not wanting to be desirable or objectified. Perhaps you came up with that feminist stereotype on your own or I just missed that part. If men can't take women seriously when they (women) look good that is the man's hangup not the woman's.
Do you take a man more seriously if he is wearing tattered jeans and wrinkled tee-shirt or a business suit?
I agree that PMS is a corny name for a clan. But gaming isn't all that serious of an endeavor. It is no sillier than a FART clan or . It reminded me of the bumper sticker quote, "I have PMS and a handgun, any questions?". So hey, I think it's funny in an off color way.
Since you're such an idealist with only Wikipedia's best interests at heart, and she apparently will not edit the page, why don't you do the rest of us a favor and make the change yourself? Or would that detract from your self-righteousness?
I never claimed to be an expert of opals. I admit to knowing nothing about opals. The OP does claim to be an expert, and chances are they know more about opals than I. If there are inaccuracies in wikipedia, anyone can improve the entry. So pretty please, fix it. It would be better for everyone if someone who knew better changed the entry, than post about it on Slashdot.

Microsoft to ship new Malware Production Utility, codename Vista.
Vista, Microsoft's innovative new Malware Production Utility, allows partners and advertisers to easily create Malware with their "easy to use" software development toolkit and utilities.
Vista is guaranteed to provide you with a lower standard of security, and the slow system response you have come to expect from the Microsoft product line. Microsoft claims Vista will increase your chances of a "sensitive information leak", while providing the end user with a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than Linux. Microsoft expects Vista will be ready for production, and will begin shipping August 2010.
I had a Lexar Jumpdrive (Secure). Specifically the model with the rubber grips on the sides. It had been through the washer and dryer and survived this abuse. A few months later I dropped my keys after getting out of the car and it finally died. A small capacitor inside had been knocked loose rendering it unusable. I kept it for a while after this happened...
Finally, one late night I cracked it open and carefully soldered the capacitor back in place. Then I clumsily superglued it back together, and it worked without a hitch! All my data was in tact. So I backed up everything to my hard drive. Since, I had it "rigged" back together in such a clumsy fashion, the capacitor finally worked it's way loose a couple weeks later. At this point, I just decided to get a new one, with twice as much capacity. Same model, and I still have this one.
As far as durability this one will last through some heavy duty abuse. However, if you are looking for security DO NOT rely on their software as it has been demonstrated to be insecure. Encrypt important data with something like PGP or GPG. Someone will need your private key and your passphrase (choose a strong one) in order to decrypt the data. So the security aspect of that is something you have, and something you know.

Why not say it's the scheduled to attack on the 91st anniversary of the French blowing up 1/2 a mile of German trenches?
Because the Sober worm originated in Germany. Furthermore, I don't think this incident you mention is something the Germans are likely to commemorate.
In this, you can see they use a dial and button to use it - nobody actually used a dial for a game since then I believe.

I recently purchased one of Dell's N series for a client. It came with a complimentary copy of Windows XP Professional and no FreeDOS in the box.
Hmm, contoso.com. Dan Holme or Orin Thomas, I presume?
Unless that is just meant to be an MCSE inside joke.
I thought, perhaps you were just incredibly stupid. By the way, dshield, sans, and TrustedSource have no reports of abuse against you.
However, I get the joke.
http://gotohell.com Thanks in advance.
My question is this. Will it run on my boss?
Gonad was the first thing that came to my mind as well.
Profit or Doom...
Doom, that is something I can apt-get.
Using same thing as parent poster, and the flash page in question works fine for me.
