What does the choice of drive electronics have to do with the reliability of the drive? I think it's a given that either connection will be fast enough for backup purposes.
You need to copy the files to another box and check the checksums there with a known good version of your checksumming binary
You're being ridiculously pedantic about the theoretical limits of security, yet you naiively trust tar/dd/cp/NFS to copy the files correctly? You trust the drive firmware? The machine's BIOS? The CPU?
Either take the security argument to its true limits, or realize that practical choices need to be made and be quiet.
In six months of regular play, we estimate, the cost of batteries will exceed the cost of the toy itself.
That this idea seemed ridiculous at the time is another way the world has changed. I imagine most small battery operated toys have similar economics today.
In another post, someone else mentioned his name is actually "Indigo Montoya", only knowable by reading the book as his name is never said clearly in the movie and sounds like "Inigo".
His name in the movie is "Inigo". It's spelled clearly in the credits. The book may well have been different.
The new guidelines will give vendors thirty days to come up with a fix before disclosure is made... [Sooner if] "the vendor is unresponsive."
So, they give the vendors 30 days to respond -- unless the vendor doesn't respond sooner? Immediately? What's the point of the "30 day" rule if response is required BEFORE then?
Sounds like a completely arbiratry process to me.

You don't drive that far to work then. Most people take the Freeways to work. That usally requires 100km/hr plus speeds.
You don't drive on a freeway at rush hour then. Very few freeways in large cities go anywhere near the speed limit in busy traffic.
I heard once that you could do a fairly accurate job of predicting the weather (better than official meteorological reports, at the time) by just stating that the weather would be the same as the current day.
Now you can predict the stories on slashdot the same way.
Carmacks like four years ahead of the curve as usual..
No. Stipple alpha had been used in computer graphics LONG before then. Heck. the arcade game Hard Drivin' (1989) used it extensively.
Carmack really doesn't innovate a hell of a lot in the graphics techniques he uses, and I think he'd agree. He's just always the first one to do his research, take existing high-end rendering techniques, and implement them really well on the PC.
1) If you're downloading by the internet, then there's a good chance that your name is not real.
There's a good chance that the name on the credit card you have to use to purchase the music is real.
3) Here's a good defense - "Well, I downloaded the music onto my computer, but it just happened to be the folder that Kazaa uses for uploads. How was I to know?"
Ignorance is no defence. "My speedometer isn't working. How was I to know I was going twice the speed limit?"
Kinda destroys the point of a web server, doesn't it?
Well, so does telling the public that it's inappropriate for them to access the machine. They should enforce their desired access policies technically, or STFU.
3. You might have a parachute out there but you're dropping at 2600 fpm in an SR-22.
Wow. I read up a bit on helicopter autorotation during the thread the other day. An unpowered Blackhawk descends at around 1800fpm! And then of course you can pitch up at the end to bring it to 0.
2600fpm is 30mph. If you don't have an ideal landing at that speed, it could still kill you.
I read that it was difficult to get the parachute to open quickly with minimal altitude loss if deployed at low airspeeds, while at the same time limiting the inflation loads to a tolerable level if deployed at high airspeeds
I saw a news story on one variant. It used a really nifty limiter ring around the shroud lines. At high speed, the wind pushed the ring up towards the chute, thus pinching it mostly closed. As the speed reduces, the chute's expansion force overcomes the wind's push on the ring, and it slides forward, allowing full deployment.

I knew that was coming. :) Worth a try.
OK. Thread's over, you can all go home now.

The One True Brace Style is K&R, by definition.

I like RJS, but, huh?
He only includes enough real science to enable his philosophical musing. It's hardly realistic.
For well-researched hard SF, try Clarke, Bear, Egan, or Baxter.
Or as dead.

Was it too much damn trouble to do a simple Google search?
No. When did that happen? Was it anything like when the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapsed?
No. Stipple alpha had been used in computer graphics LONG before then. Heck. the arcade game Hard Drivin' (1989) used it extensively.

So? What's your point? The author was just mentioning in a lighthearted way that computer graphics unrelated to games were getting some attention.
I guess you've never seen someone gut-shot in Soldier of Fortune II. :)
