Combining these factors together you get an organization that is very resistance to change, except from the top.
Hardly even from top. With such groups, extraordinarily reactionary mindset comes as a bonus. As soon as the guy on the top makes a move that doesn't agree with the ideals of the whole group, he will be booted and replaced by and old-school leader.
So, where can I go to find these "traditional" individualists? All I see are a bunch of type-cast automatons who think they're an individual, just like everybody else, because their ego would take a staggering hit if they only realized just how programmable they truly are. It would totally destroy their fantasy that they are self-directed in any way or actually make their own decisions or control their own lives.
Resulting from, and not helping at all, the poor educational system, no doubt.
The case studies all use words like "secure", "MD5", "RSS feeds" and "encryption" to describe the security of The Cloud. I don't know about you, but that sounds damn secure to me! Some Clouds even use SSL and HTTP. That's rock solid in my book.
And there I was trying to make my service actually secure when all I needed to do was sprinkle our blurb with some secure-sounding keywords. Thanks for the tip.:)
Also keep in mind that in some cases, like in case of deviantArt, the license is time-limited to the duration of your usage of the service, which helps. I don't use Dropbox, so I don't know if that's the case with Dropbox. In some cases, it is not possible for service providers to time-limit the license, because the data may need to be available to other users after you leave.
Google, deviantArt, Facebook, et al, they all have very similar or same wording in their TOS's. Point is, if they transfer data from your account to someone else's account, it is considered distribution, performance if they show video to others, etc, etc. So they need you to license your stuff to them so they're permitted to carry out their services. The fact that it, on paper, gives them right to do many other things is worrying, but not at all unusual. Good thing about Dropbox version is that it at least has the "to the extent we think we think it necessary for the Service." That is an improvement.
The SAS 6G and SATA 3 (6Gbps) models of SSD go up to over 500GB now. Reading that in a few minutes is no big deal. Even the SATA II Intel 320 series does 600GB and sequential reads at 270 MB/s, which would be 600GB in (600000/270 seconds) - 2222 seconds or just over 37 minutes. My laptop has a better data rate, but I use off-brand components:-). This is no problem at all.
You have to use Western Digital Caviar Black 3.5" SATA 500GB hard drive (WD5002AALX).
You won't be able to push any more than 18 gigabytes in a minute through SATA-II and that's in theory. So theoretically one could read a 500 GB drive in ~28 minutes, but the drives just aren't nowhere near as fast. Then again, maybe your Barracua is many fold faster than Barracudas. I know my Sonny cassette player was faster than that from Sony.
You should try Sany. Way faster than even Sonny. The only problem I had with it is it would only read the cassette once and then you need a new player... and a new cassette.
What self-respecting conspiracy theorist buys a foil hat? How would you know it isn't defective or hasn't been tampered with?
No, the truly paranoid must make their own hats.
Is it bugged? I'm asking you: IS IT BUGGED?! Why won't you answer me? OMG, maybe the CIA got to you. Shit, I've gotta hide somewhere. But there's nowhere to hide! NOWHERE TO HIDE!
As far as I recall, it lasted about 2½ hours on Windows XP when it was new (early 2004), and somewhat less when running Warty or Breezy.
I'm sure WinXP cannot compare in terms of power consumption to Win7 + latest drivers from hardware vendors. Sadly, in all other aspects, they don't differ by much. I might switch one day if the actual performance becomes on par with Linux. On the other hand, if Linux becomes better in power management, the switch would probably never become an option. (Hm... this reminds of of those Linux vs Windows discussions, with roles slightly reversed.)
It used to like a few months ago. The laptop is practically brand new. I had Win7 as a temporary solution while I was figuring out how to get hybrid graphics working on Linux.

They all provide features that allow users to share content with other users. Legal paranoia says they need a license to do that.
Exactly. Plus Dropbox does add that it's to the extent they deem necessary to provide the services. IIRC, not everybody limits themselves in this way.

He could read it correctly. Rules don't say that you have to write correctly, though.

Or a group of kids or adults with a different set of values and morals than other people.
Are you talking about neocons?
Well maybe if you guys came up with a plan to dispose of the spent fuel from the reactors you wouldn't have this problem.
I thought DU rounds were invented for this purpose...
Wishful thinking made flesh. That's the bitter reality of the legislative process in today's United States.
Problem is that the said legislative process is a black market. Maybe if they used a normal process, it'd not be that bad.
You may want to read the leaked text of ACTA
And look forward to ACTB, the sequel, in which there are no more rules like in ACTA, only ad-hoc executive orders by the main protagonist.
Too bad I posted already, this is definitely a +1 Funny material. Anyone with mod points left?
More like +5 Ignorant.
The frist rule is blah blah blah. The second rule is the same as the first one about it is stated louder! That mean you are break both first rules.
Make perfect sense...
You're correct about the first rule. I'm not sure about the second. And I think you're wrong about both. :D

slightly better than vi
So you're saying Google Apps has Vim? Or did you mean Emacs?
Cool... <center>I'll be <blink>sure</blink> to do that </center><font ARIAL></font><p><br>
Damn it was fun back in those days. :D
This solves the "taking seriously" part. We obviously don't do that.
But then how are we supposed to edit files?
M-x vim-mode
That's right, emacs even has an EDITOR inside of it.
C-x M-c M-butterfly
That's one of the solutions in the blog post referenced. However, the Slashdot summary doesn't mention this (surprised?).
