First, you mean "safe", not "secure". Second,
extend that to safe-as-long-as-only-one-hd-fails-and-you-never-ev er-make-a-mistake. RAID only gives you high availability, but it is by no means a substitute for backups: when important data is deleted by a virus, or accidentally because of a user mistake, even a RAID 1 will just dutifully mirror the deletion.
Always remember: data that is not backed up might as well not be there in the first place!
I saw a TV documentary about it. Tuvalu got the money, a substantial amount of company shares, and a seat in its board of directors. However, not even the guy who holds that seat really understand s what the deal is all about, what a TLD is. They have one computer school with not enough computers so that students spend most of the time memorizing (and reciting in chorus!) manuals...
Technically trivial, perhaps. Administratively, it is extremely non-trivial, and that's just as big a factor. Please get off the "If I can do it in my home network of three machines, it must be just as easy to do for the whole internet" horse.
the 'slashdot community'is against unfair laws , but in favour of good laws.
Of course, we reserve the right to define what are "good laws" and what are "bad laws", and in what cases a particular law that we consider "bad" is suddenly "good" or vice versa...
The HypeHyde does this. It's also brag-a-delically small (little bigger than a matchbox) and runs 6 hours on a single AAA battery. The only downside is that it uses the expensive MMC media.
Too bad it's only sold in Japan. Then again, that just makes it easier to brag with mine...
You mean pie charts are also uses by non-Marketing people???
Well, I suppose it must have been people in the legal department who submitted it, and believe me: Maketroids don't hold a candle to lawyers when it comes to verbal smokescreens!
Generally, if the ghostscript driver for your printer doesn't yield satisfying results, especially in regard to photo printing, you may get lucky with GIMP-Print.
Personally, I got lucky with 2.4.17 (or rather, sometimes after 2.4.13), it can finally handle my USB MO drive without the process freezing. That was my only probelm with the earlier 2.4 kernels.
That's the point exactly: people would like to see this clause be made void. Makers of any other product are required by law to provide some minimum liability and can be sued if the product malfunctions in particularly bad ways. Clauses like the above are automatically void with any other kind of product except software. The question is whether this is justified.
Um, DVDs rarely have bitrates upwards of 8 Megabits. 10 MBit is the upper limit of the spec, but most DVDs have an average rate of 5 MBit and often go well below that value. Especially mastering glitches (such as a cut without an i-frame) can easily produce very visible compression artifacts.
No, Turing only defined how we might be able to tell that it's doing it. That's no contradiction to saying that we will probably have stopped understanding it completely by the point it gets there. Another way I've heard the idea being expressed is "If our brains were simple enough to be understood, we'd be so dumb that we couldn't".
Personally, I think Turing is dead on the money: if we ever manage to create an artificial intelligence on par to our own, it will be in large parts self-organizing in ways that we don't understand.

If you know you want is ASAP, pre-ordering saves you some hassle, and you might get it significantly earlier in cases where the supply is scarce and pre-orders are served first. Additionally, pre-orders often get a discount. Finally, some special-interest products get made at all only after a large enough number of pre-orders guarantees that it will be profitable.

That's South Korea you're thinking of, not Singapore.

This could actually be a simple task. It is currently unknown whether e + pi is in fact rational or irrational.
As soon as you notice it, you put that on record, and any signatures done with that key after that date will be considered invalid.
Presumably a cap to the amount of data you can download in one month. A way to solve the problem of power users/leeches.

Significant digits are not all that matters when you're operating in a real-world scenario where you have many factors that act as a constant noise.

Lots of people for whom broadband either isn't available at all or who just don't need it and thus save some money.
Just don't forget that what it just cut may be you, or rather, your valuable data...

their brand new expensive software with Linux after paying out the ass.
No, but when they realize that they are being harassed even though they paid "out the ass", they might remember this next time they need new software.
Please learn the difference between a wish list and a suggestion for a law that makes sense.

Nope, the majority of humanity lives in countries that are not called "United States of America" and where the above generally proves to be true.
