There was a typical trendy-culture type at my old job wearing a trendy retro/vintage/alterna-culture "Mao" T-shirt. In a fairly packed elevator, I asked him if he was wearing his Hitler T-shirt the next day. He looked at me like I was nuts (as did _everyone_ else in the elevator). I said "Sure, Mao killed millions more than Hitler. Look it up." and got off on my floor.
I was expecting some real hell from HR, since someone told me that this guy was both gay AND Jewish. Instead I got an email from him saying "You're right."
But that's just typical. The left only believes that "genocide" is a right-wing action against gays, blacks, Jews and other "minorities" and that the deaths under various left-wing governments (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot) were merely difficult adjustments when faced with lack of cooperation from Western governments or Western-sponsored insurgencies.
It's actually not that he doesn't write well or cover interesting topics, but he's not journalist or necessarily an expert (defined by extensive experience or professional credentials) on every topic he writes on, so at a certain point you're just reading above-average prose written by some guy with an interesting sounding opinion, no more.
I just can't escape the notion that his opinons are given merit because of who he is ("Paul Graham") and what he is/was ("LISP programmer"), and to me this just adds up to cult-of-personality hero worship.
I don't generally read bloggers; there's too much good mainstream writing (eg, New Yorker, New Republic, Economist) to dig around on the internet for some belly-button gazer.

Most fanboys think that Paul Graham's take on his latest turd is a good read, too.
Which isn't to say that it might not be, but the cult-of-personality surrounding Paul Graham kind of gets old after a while.
The problem I have with NAS boxen is that I feel like I'm buying another computer that I don't need. I figure the best value has to be an existing computer I already have stuffed with SATA drives doing some kind of software RAID. The problem generally ends up being "How many drives can I fit in the case?"
Which leads me to the next problem/question -- are there many E-SATA enclosures and controller cards that support E-SATA interconnects? It seems to me that this might be the next best thing -- external drives in E-SATA enclosures and a controller card that supports E-SATA. It should give you some portability if your server goes meltdown, and with software RAID you should get some data redundancy.
I also kind of wish that there was a USB2 "hub" that was actually a hardware RAID controller; plug in external USB2 drives to the hub and instant, portable RAID. The computer would see just the LUNs created by the controller, not the individual drives.
I've always heard that BMW stood for "Bring Money With", a reflection of poor reliability and expensive parts and repair services. Having never owned one, I don't know for sure. A friend owns a 330i coupe and seems to have had good luck with his, but he doesn't really drive it that hard and has only had it for about 30k miles.
As far as VW build quality goes, my wife had one when we met and we had a number of problems with the electrical system (and the tape deck quit, too), but I think it was otherwise OK, but a little on the chintzy side.
I'm on year 6 of my Honda Accord V6 and couldn't be happier. More than adequate performance for what the speed limit and traffic allow in an urban/suburban freeway system, and totally bulletproof reliability up to this point (70k miles).
I think if I was to "upmarket" my car, it wouldn't be a BMW, but would be an Acura to get the Honda build quality and reliability, which I can only presume (short of some interior doo-dads) would translate to Acuras.
I thought the NSA provided some "assistance" to DES encryption when it was being developed and actually rigged it such that it was compromisable by them.

Some of that may be a regional variation, as I have heard from realtors and others where I live in the Midwestern U.S. that bathrooms and kitchens generally are beneficial for house value (perhaps not *profitable* -- ie, adding more value than they cost), but at least they have some real increase the house's gross value.
Ultimately some updates become necessary because people generally like to move into a house with "updated" stuff like kitchens and baths, and some even pay attention to furnaces, windows. A 1940s house with a 1940s kitchen is a problem.
I replaced my furnace and air conditioning a year after I moved in because I knew they would die within 5 years and I wanted to gain the savings over the 25 year old models installed.
It doens't have to be VMWare, but even if it was, a VMWare VM that provided a proper MacOnIntel VM.
This way people with a significant PC investment or some other obstacle (work, etc) to running Windows on Apple's new Intel-based hardware could still get most of the benefit out of OS X.
Given that you typically pay a 10-20% penalty in a VM anyway, this shouldn't hurt Apple a whole lot since (A) you would have to buy the OS X license anyway, (B) you don't get native speeds and (C) the VM-vendor would be paying some kind of licensing to Apple anyway in order to properly enable the VM for supporting it.
I also think the better way to support Windows on the new Apple hardware is through VM-type emulation as well, since I would prefer to be able to access them simultaneously and dual booting has historically been a nuisance.
Sure you may not get your money back in actual utility bills (although the utility rates always go up) - you will get it back with increased resale value, and possibly tax incentives to boot!
Decreased resale value.
Weird shit added onto houses almost never adds value and frequently erodes value as the people interested in the house generally don't need/want/understand the previous owner's "innovation" and only think of the extra money it will cost fix/upgrade/replace/remove it. It's a liability. And in many cases even people who are interested in it are also knowledgable and opinionated and don't want your specific stuff.
Even swimming pools are seen as liabilities in most places where they cannot be used 365 days a year. Home theaters can be, even.
A neighbor sold his house recently; nice house, but he was trying to sell his home theater setup which he had custom-built enclosures made for. I thought it was nice, but to some people the gear was too complex/expensive and the theater room too inflexible and passed on the house not wanting to buy into his setup.
If you want ROI on a house, remodel the kitchen and bathrooms, replace the carpet and paint the walls. Everything else is a money loser in terms of resale value.
I had a couple of CDs I burned circa 98/99 go bad. Kodak CD-Rs that had the type of dye that makes burned ones obvious. When I went to use them later (2 years?) and couldn't, the dye had visibly faded. Beyond that I haven't had a significant problem with data CDs.
Burned audio CDs have been flawless, despite extermes of cold and heat from a northern climate. I have some audio CDs in my car that I burned back in 2000 that still work. The only problems I've had have been scratches from mishandling, but even that hasn't been that bad considering that they get "stored" in a visor-mounted holder, stacked on each other in the dash, or just generally flung around the car.
I don't know if audio CD longevity has anything to do with data CD longevity, my understanding is that audio CD codecs can do some interpolation that a PC can't, but I also understand that data CDs do have some kind of parity/redundancy at the physical layer.
It's a self-made obstacle, though. The hardware requirement for installation of unbundled drivers is a floppy; you haven't met the hardware requirements, so of course it won't install.
Is it super-extra-hard to write a Windows app that doesn't require the registry and DLLs placed everywhere? Or is that merely the result of developers just using framework that ties their apps to 87 different locations on the filesystem?
I really miss the good ol' days of MacOS apps where you could just copy the stupid App folder (and in some cases JUST the app) and get a complete working copy.
This is kind of the question I was asking myself. Maybe a few years ago, multi-booting was worthwhile, but there are so many other options that make this largely unncessary. VMWare is the first one I thought of -- why bother multi-booting your primary HDD when you could run multiple OS at once?
A lot of modern motherboards will willingly boot off of any drive in the system and you can also look at removeable drive trays as well. And the most obvious one is multiple PCs -- it's hard not to have accumulated a collection of PII/PIIIs that are semi-obsolete for Windows XP but perfectly viable for hobbyist pursuits.
That's probably something you might see once they figure out how to do the projection well, but not a 1st gen device.
I'd consider something that gave me the equivilent quality of a 27" analog set @ 6 ft through both eyes. I figure that success will be defined initially through DVD quality for stationery (planes, trains, etc) viewing of video.
It's probably the killer application for portable computing and video.
I seem to remember that what I'd generally call "sex control" was/is a big deal in communist countries.
Is it a function of the general social tilt of the culture (eg, Russian, Chinese, etc) or is there something about totalitarian communism that's anti-sex?
A met a couple of people from behind the then-iron curtain when I was in college in the 1980s and the impression they gave me was that the general social culture was very accepting of promiscuity and pretty open sexually despite porn being strictly black-market. I did get the impression that it was partly a response to boredom.
I don't doubt that some spam networks are controlled overseas, but I still believe that a lot of the dollars get handled here first, which is why RICO prosecutions would be so effective, since the middlemen would be just as guilty since they are participants in the conspiracy.
When will the FTC/DOJ/FBI/DEA ever get their collective acts together and start jailing people for criminal fraud? Why aren't there RICO prosecutions against the individuals and institutions backing spam enterprises? Can it really be that hard to follow the money trail?
Or is the answer one or more of the following:
1) Too busy trying to find Osama 2) Too busy busting bong makers 3) Too busy watching, er, catching porn makers 4) Spammers are *entreprenuers*, not con men, and this administration is pro-business.. 5) Laura Bush approves of prez's new-found stamina, can't cut off his supply of enhancements..
Seems logical. I'm wondering if it will initially be simpler and more cost effective to just cram two identical drives into one box, at least initially, until they do the work to make dual format drives workable.

How about copy/paste crapping out?
I see this happening after having an instance or two open for a couple of days with 6-12 tabs.
I notice it mostly when using Google Maps; I'll try to copy/paste an address from another tab into maps and vice versa and it seems it has stopped working. Pasting into other apps or going from other apps and pasting into Firefox doesn't work. It affects all tabs and nothing helps but quitting all instances of Firefox and restarting it.
Residential power distribution methods vary, but most single phase lines are about 7200VAC.. 240VAC is supplied to the house via a pair of 120VAC lines, 180degrees out of phase from each other. Breaker panels send one of the feeders to each half of the breakers in the house, which is why it's possible to lose power to only half of your house...
Don't you mean two 120VAC lines in phase? Otherwise we'll have a problem taking two 120VAC lines and getting 240VAC.
which means light, high velocity, jacketed bullets will serve you better in the long run, as long as they're damaging enough to still incapacitate without killing outright.
My understanding is that a lot of the adoption of intermediate rifle cartridges was driven by studies that showed that most soliders weren't shooting at targets more than 2-300 yards away, so a high-power rifle cartridge like the.30-06 capable of killing a man 500-1000 yards away wasn't necessary.
Once you start scaling down the cartridge, you get a whole host of benefits. Smaller rounds weigh less and you can move more rounds on the battlefield per unit of weight -- more ammo per soldier. Smaller rounds recoil less and can be fired more accurately on full-auto or burst-fire, and can probably be fired more accurately on average by a given soldier as well (one thing that makes U.S. troops so effective is their skilled use of aimed fire).
Wounding the enemy may be the academic battlefied doctrine, but I'm not sure it's the battlefield reality. Dead guys don't get back up and fight, and most weapons aren't designed to wound, but to kill. I don't think B-52 strikes, 30mm cannon, Javeline missles, or M2 machine guns really do much wounding.
As for self-defence for civilians, going non-lethal is your best bet to stay free through the aftermath: 12-gauge coarse salt cartridges aren't dead yet.
I would disagree with this. I've never seen the oft-talked about rock salt shotgun load available comercially. It'd be hell on shotgun bores and chokes, even if they were chromed, and probably completely ineffective against anyone wearing heavy clothing or standing more than 10 feet away. And you DO NOT want to fire a weapon at someone and have them get up. If you shoot someone dead, the police only get to hear your side of the story. If you wound them, they get to tell their side of the story. A man wounded by rock salt WILL find someone to sue you.
went into the bank and all they told me was they could put the funds under investigation and it would take up to 90 days to take care of. During that time I wouldn't have my money and that it wasn't likely that anything would happen.
This is why I won't have anything to do with a Visa/MC "debit" card attached to my bank account. All the banks "promise" that they will refund your money right away, yadda yadda, but the bottom line is YOU have to wait for THEM to give you YOUR MONEY back.
With a credit card, the only thing I'm out is a chunk of my credit line. Let the bank chase after their bad debt.
I've always suspected that the region coding had at least as much to do with politics as with profits, or politics for profit.
Why is China it's own region and not part of Region 3? Why are Russia and Eastern Europe not in the European region 2? Why is *Japan* in Region 2 and not 3? South Africa and Egypt in region 2 and not with the rest of African in 5?
Admittedly not all of the region alignments make political ssense -- Africa shares region 5 with the former USSR and Eastern Europe. But considering the DVD region coding "map" was developed at the tail end of the cold war, it strikes me that the region mapping had as much to do with keeping "unwanted" content out, thus enabling studios to sell sanitized versions of movies in markets that might not otherwise accept them.
Obviously there's a pure profit angle as well, keeping US and EU/JP content out of each other's markets, but too much of the rest of it looks like a map based on political boundaries and not based on regional trade patterns.
