Fellow analyst Greg Schulz of Storage I/O also found the price eye-opening, but said: "If you go by the recent valuation of storage IPOs lately, it is more in line."
Translation: They're all overpriced and the market is a bit overheated.
I also wonder, who's using these storage companies? Is it for backups of corporate data centers?
Remember when hacking into the school's computer system to change grades was considered to be a prank that resulted in maybe at most a suspension. Now, it's literally a Federal Crime. What, in a few years, you'll get the death penalty for hacking grades?
How do you "waive a Constitutional right?", without anyone at least asking you if you mind waiving it?
If they did ask, I bet that most of the US population would just go along with it. Because, Civil Liberties is for "criminals to hide behind", "pinko hippies", "gays", "folks who don't want God anywhere", and any other issue that the ACLU and their sister organizations have taken up.
Why, law abiding citizens do not need Civil Rights!
This country and her Constitution is in trouble my friend.
"And so he finds himself living in his car. Which, for him, seemed the logical thing to do under the circumstances."
When Reiser was picked up for DNA testing, he was carrying his passport and nearly $9,000 in cash.
Yeah, right, he had to live out of his car. He's supposed to be a genius? I guess just in math: not a criminal one.
FTFA: Nope! Somewhere on the page there is a box which is checked that says "Send me this crap for $9.00 a month".
I really hate those things. Many times, when you're filling out some poorly designed form that has information that has to be entered, I usually miss something or enter it the "wrong" way and I end up having to go back and correct my data. Upon going back, guess what, the check-box that "opts-in" to (usually to get spammed by the company) is checked again. Technically, it's "opt-in", but the check box is automatically checked and will be checked again if the page is visited again for any reason. And somtimes, I swear to God, I thinks it's ignored anyway.
I'm getting to the point where unless it's really reputable company that's been around for a while, an online retailer has a snow balls chance of getting business from me.
The results were that postal threats were more extreme than email threats.
Snail mail is much much harder to trace than email. Therefore, the most extreme nutjobs are smarter: they realize that it's easier to be anonymous with snail mail than email.
We all know here that tracing an IP and then bullying an ISP for an identity is quite easy and becoming easier everyday.
It doesn't matter. My point is the NASA folks are pretty bright people who have the ability to fix their stuff. And it amazed me that they can fix their stuff from a distance by changing computer code - regardless of what project it was.
And I know there's going to be a ton of posts implying that the NASA folks should have thought of [insert idea here]. Of course they did.
If there were an easy way to fix this, NASA would have figured it out. Don't forget, these fix rovers millions of miles away by changing computer code. I'm sure any suggestion here on/. has been thought of already.
if all of the negative press the RIAA has received has emboldened folks to stand up to them and also has encouraged greater scrutiny of their legal claims by the general public and legal community.
...how long they can expect consumers to pay $59 for a video game.
I only shop for games in the bargain bins. The most I've ever paid for a game was $10. And I save the cost of having to upgrade my machine every, what, six months.
When I used to work (decades ago) at a convenience store, it was the poorer folks who bought the most tickets: the poorer the more tickets they bought - just an observation and obviously I didn't see their W-2s. The lotteries are basically a tax on poor folks, because, let's face it; the more educated and subsequently, well to do, know that it's not worth it.
FTFA:Berlin-based hacker organization the Chaos Computer Club, which has pledged to find and publicize the first government Trojan.
I hope hacker organizations around the World all do the same, and if possible, do it for folks who live in countries where such activity will get them killed. *ahem*Chine*ahem*
If my installing linux or using an "unapproved" email client upsets someone in IT, that's because THEY are in the wrong not me. I'm not responsible for someone else's shortshighted policies, in fact I have a civic duty to violate them in the most flagrant and obvious way, to shed light on their stupidity.

I can just see a bunch of road warriors on a turbulent flight watching their computer continually reboot every time they try to do something!
The link they give goes to an article about the Newton. I don't mean to be pedantic, but comparing a PDA to a Tablet?

I knew someone who tried to explain how a LP record works to his kids. They were incredulous. Groves recording sound?! It wasn't digital?!? No way!
I can just imagine what kids will say a few years from now: "You carried your computers in bags?! They were that big?!"

Cheaper than hiring a guy.

He won't go far. A LOT of folks liked Nader, but he was kept out of the debates and marginalized by the Dems and Reps.
What ever happened to his lawsuit regarding that?

At that point, you would have the answer to the entire Universe and winning the lottery would be trivial at best.
What's the desktop shown in the screen shots?
I paid $250+tax for a NetVista refurb with very similar specs - (Intel Celeron, everything else same.)
Who wants to bet that, with a name like that, he's a geek who actually gets laid a lot?
Yeah, but who's on the receiving end?
I hope hacker organizations around the World all do the same, and if possible, do it for folks who live in countries where such activity will get them killed. *ahem*Chine*ahem*
You still have a job?
OK That's me.
