    Regardless of whether the disks are inexpensive or not, wouldn't you agree that an array of disks are going to be independent no matter what?

  4. Re:Online banking? Sign me up!!!! on A Look At the CoreFlood Botnet · · Score: 1

    Why would the banks spend more money to be more secure? They don't have to pay when someones money gets stolen.

    My router has an option for WPA2 TKIP, AES and TKIP/AES. *shrugs*

    It would seem logical, that the TKIP/AES uses the TKIP key manager with the AES Cipher, rather than CCMP/AES.

    What are mid-air collisions called? With other aircraft? Or crashes while taxiing? I'd imagine those are less common though....

  12. Re:Interesting... on Steam Cloud Launches This Week · · Score: 1

    If you delete the ClientRegistry.blob before starting steam after you've moved it it makes it so it rereads what is already there. Rather than assuming it's corrupt and forcing a redownload.

  15. Re:Hmm on Windows 7 To Be 256-Core Aware · · Score: 1

    When you run on 36GB SCSI drives, it cost more that $150 for a server to have 1TB drive.

    For the home user efficiency and security isn't as important, they don't know any better. But the Server implementations in general have a number of services and functions disabled because they are silly on a server. For example sound, graphics acceleration and other usability things.

  18. Re:Short straw has to be Ringo! on Rock Band Licenses The Beatles · · Score: 1

    Its fun in the same way that playing horseshoes or boccie ball. You throw the horseshoe/throw the balls/play the notes.

    They are the following:
    1) Something that is competitive. With yourself, and against others.
    2) You have a metric for how well you're playing.
    3) You can improve with practice how close you get to the goal.

    People like to compete, be it with themselves or others. So they can say I'm getting better, or I'm better than you.

    That is why Rock Band is fun for people.

  23. It would be great for stalkers on UK Government Says More Spying Needed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just get a back door, or a government job, and stalk victims with more ease and comfort.
