Don't be so fast to condemn others for minisformation when your posting is filled with the same
The first digital SLR was the DCS-100 back in 1991. A bit further back than 6 years. Do some research yourself.
(took me 10 seconds and I've been shooting digital professionally for over 10 years)
Firewire on pro digital cameras has been around for at least 6 years. All the current crop of Nikon, Kodak and Canon pro cameras have this. (it was SCSI on the early cameras I used but that proved too fragile for use in anywhere other than a clean room...)
Change the experiment so the shorts wearers are in kilts and then the suits won't get ANY!
Women adore the look. There's the whole Braveheart factor (even if the kilts in that movie were laughably wrong for the period ("Coo-ee Hamish, after you with the steam-iron!") and the intrigue that makes them ALL ask The Question. (How you answer is up to you...)
My wife bought me my latest kilt and she takes advantage of me every time I wear it. Countless other kilt-wearing men (geeks or otherwise) report positive responses, come-ons (try wearing one to a lap-dancing club...) and what would constitute serious sexual assaults if you tried it on a woman in a skirt.
In short, forget trousers/pants. Get a kilt and you'll have to beat them off with a shitty stick.
(hey, come on - if women had an appendage dangling between their legs there's no fscking way they'd EVER wear pants....)
Bullshit. Says who? Underwear is optional and this myth about going commando under a kilt to be a real kilt wearer is just that. A myth. In days of old, you wore a very long (kneelength) shirt with a kilt and coupled with the weight of several square yards of sheep-fat soaked wool, a BFO belt and several weapons this negated the need to wear any. Times have changed.
freaking expensive No they aren't! Where do you buy yours from? Trad kilts can cost up to a grand - so $115 is a bloody bargain. commando What as in naked from the waist down? Do you like prison food?
A pro unit for journalists would transmit over cell phone links, using anything from GSM to Iridium to get through to the photo desk. Yes, absolutely. Been doing just that since 1994/5.
This is a toy. No it isn't a toy. It's a very serious photo-journalism tool. The (optional) add on unit will be ideal for sports photogrsphers working (for example) in basketball or boxing, where they are already using WiFi but having to mount a laptop or PDA with the camera above the basket/ring.
We've been crying out for this since day one in digital newsgathering. The best picture in the world is valueless while it's in the camera. You have to MOVE IT! This will be taken up by everyone in the industry just like digital cameras have been.
ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings. OLD WOMAN: Well, how did you become King, then? ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,...

[singing stops] That is why I am your king!

It's called Shadow Image and True Copy.
Syncronous/asyncronous copying of data at block level in real time. Zero downtime backups. Pretty standard stuff here.
Well, how about 3Pb across the two datacentres here, and another six in the remainder of the project?
Is that enough for your jaw to hit the floor?
150Tb? That's one Oracle cluster around these parts. Hardly worth getting out of bed for...
What kind of fascists do you work for that make you justify an annual leave request with a "reason"?
Hmm. I have 9Pb (yes petabytes) of Hitachi disk storage coming on stream here over the next few months.
;-) )
No sign of any unreliability here but these are 146Gb/15k/FC disks.....and you can only buy them four at a time.
(not a like-for-like comparison I know but I think it's cool

He hasn't been knighted YET. He's been offered, and has accepted a knighthood. He can't be called Sir until Her Majesty dubs him a Sir with the sword.
Yes there is. Open a command prompt and type "msconfig"
See how easy that was?
That wasn't a hidden cost. Linux could have easily handled RAID disk mirroring and striping without the special controllers.
Software RAID on production servers? I don't think so, thank you all the same...

remember: a kilt should be worn without underwear

Do women HAVE to wear underwear under their kirts/dresses?
Like life, it's optional.

He proved it in the opening salvos of WWII when HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales were sunk 3 days after Pearl Harbor.
The opening salvos of WW2 were in December 1941?
