Mine comes out at 42 MB/s. Probably a good thing I was already going to RMA the fracking thing (it overheats if you set the jumper to SATA II, even while you just sit in BIOS). That SATA II thing may be something those of you with 'SATA II' Seagates should check on too. the jumper that ships with the thing is very small, and very recessed (I had to use an extraction tool to even get to it).
I wonder how much Newegg will soak me for on a return at this point though, Western Digital is looking better and better.
Ow ow ow.... please don't write GUIs in Python. Or C#, or god forbid Java. I moved to Linux to get *away* from the ridiculous hardware inflation Windows has. (A note to any Firefox developers out there...)
lesse, keylogger, check. Screenshots of my system every 15 seconds, check. Deep packet inspection of my internet activity (on a proxy server that really can't handle the load properly) check. Random drug testing - Check.
Yeah, not much sympathy for the cabbies on my part.
And as far as the medical thing goes. *every* insurance policy requires details of doctors visits. The doctor sends a report out before the insurance company will pay him.
Not only is multi-core the way to go, shortly there will be very little option for 90% of users. Vista without a dual core is... painful. In fact, it's getting difficult to buy a pre-built machine with a single core at all.
See... here's the thing. If they can monitor his traffic from the upstream, then doesn't that make the monitoring software completely redundant, and thus cruel and unnecessary?
I really would love to see what a higher court would make out a of a cruel and unusual (or whatever kind of) appeal though. Doubt he'd win, but still, interesting to see.
Dell will in fact send you a battery in this condition. Call *before* a year is up please. I'm sick of getting calls from people whose batteries died within warranty waiting 6 months and then trying to get a free one. (And quite literally the day after the one year is up, they won't do a thing for you except make sure you're AC adapter is working right, those go bad nearly as often as the batteries)
I get a lot of calls at work from people who don't realize that you're supposed to have an access point. And wonder why suddenly their wireless wants an encryption key.
My favorite had to be the one that was trying to connect from the middle of a Wal-Mart.
The managers at my call center use messengers to great effect for communication with each other. Though the very public very unencrypted messenger service they use seems strange for such a network security paranoid company...
At least you have options, my apartment has choice between Comcast and nothing at all (there's not even a phone line for dial-up). I have a strategy though.
Everybody call Comcast, daily, to bitch about this. Eventually they'll realize that each phone call costs more than they'd save in a month per customer complaining.
I've seen other issues with tracked schools as well. I got cut out of advanced math/science classes because I lacked the skills at Art and Writing at one high school. The one I transfered to to had a more flexible attitude, and i was able to get the things I wanted/was able to do and avoid the others. Of course, the year after I left the principle declared that they were only going to have advanced classes every other year, never mind that they already were short on seats, most of these classes necessitated being a senior... so that school would basically be a nonoption now.
Typically there is a product key on a sticker on OEM machines with which you can legally reinstall XP using any corresponding disk. (The OEM cd's in these cases will just read the product key out of the BIOS, saving the customer the slight hassle of actually looking at the ugly POS they own.)
Of course, if you don't have *any* legit disk and your OEM won't mail you one (frequently they will), then well... bittorent does have copies.
At least at the moment, my understanding is that moonlight is at least as far along as silverlight for the moment. Moonlight is written in c++ instead of c# as well, so the Linux version will probably be faster... Throw that on top of open sourceness for our version, and as long as M$ honors its promise to continue to release the specification we shouldn't see any real problems with using silverlight web functions.
Microsoft will probably close up the spec if Silverlight is ever a huge success. I have a solution to this though. Since Moonlight has a good chance of being faster than Silverlight, then by porting Moonlight to Windows and Mac, we could make a interpreter for the Silverlight spec that could, in theory, become preffered to Microsoft's version. Especially if we can attract the attention of developers that want to build large complex programs that aren't really aren't suitable for a double interpreted language like M$ is building.
Addendum: It's strange.. the Novell-Microsoft agreement may turn out to be a good thing yet. Maybe, hell would have to freeze over and all, but maybe.
It looks more like they're using ionic cooling to replace the heatsink instead of replacing the fan. I have to wonder what kind of cooling you could get if you used all three though.
I seriously doubt that many business owners will be upset at the idea of free advertisement.
Student: Gee sir, I'd like to advertise your business, and all it will cost you is filling out this form ao I know what to tell people. Oh yeah, and if you want the ad to go up, you'll need to verify that the information is accurate, somebody will call to check up on that.'
Business owner: You're tryin' to scam me aren't you?
Mp3 is definitely better than CD in my experience (your mileage may vary.) The best sound quality I've heard is not from CDs, but from MP3s where the music was mixed with MP3 in mind.
That said, what are the industry producers complaining about, they suck at their job, badly. Stop peaking the music and then we'll talk about a reason to avoid sound degradation.

Wouldn't that make it so that there are a negative number of people who RTFA?

So do you want it to look like GNOME or KDE? Either one you pick you'll be outnumbered by the people that want the other, or something else.

Be fair, They actually caught it before anything nasty came through.
.005% of the observable universe though. Which is probably important somehow.
Of course, God is never going to apply the patch until after it's too late.

I feel compelled to comment on your signature.
Running *nix is more like having a lightsaber/blaster/speeder/x-wing/an incomplete (but fully operational) death star in the same device.
And an intruction manual with pages spread all over the galaxy.

Well... they actually managed to implement the Silverlight specs. So there's no way it's as bad as OOXML.

I'm sure the gamer market will be buying those multi million dollar processors in a few more decades.
Shortly thereafter, it will be a necessity in order to run the latest version of Windows.
Dell and HP batteries too. *Everybody* was using the things Sony was selling.
Um, that's nice and all, but if that's the case, how come no anti spyware program, ever, has flagged Firebox as spyware?
