    exactly. people should have backup plans in case something is done. Lots of companys have down time and they live with it because they have backup plans to deal with it. I work in the computer industry but I have backups plans in case something fails. there is always a phone and pen and paper. if you dont have that then find them and use them when all else fails.

    Yes consumers want it but only because the soft drink companys have said they needed it. Same as with coffee. Please believe they need it and therefor become hooked on it. I for one know this first hand. I am an addict of caffeine and if i dont have it i don't perform well. I have read serveral books that rated caffeine as high as cocaine on an addiction factor.

    I personally would love to see them have to put there caffiene amounts on everything that contains it except fresh roasted coffee (for the simple fact that it would be difficult to rate different blends of coffee)

    where did you get the idea that pico was better than VI? How do you manage large documents and go to the line of your choice? How about searching inside the file quickly? vi/vim does it so much nicer without having to deal with any menus. for me vim is king over pico. emacs has some nice features for coding but simple text editing ill chose vim Qua

    of course i can. because they are being rewritten to be prioparitary. smp, cdp (cisco's discovery protocol). and i can see in the future a music sharing system that encodes everything and difficult to reverse engineer. if no one does anything or cares about we will have all prioparitary transfer protocols and the like. no more TCP/IP, etc.

    I am not sure of your sound setup but 112 or 96 VBR only sound mildly better than 128bps and still sounds like crap. I will normally try to get 160+ and i still have problems because people encode with half-assed encoders. Lame does a very nice job better than most(all?) others. Qua

  14. Re:What about B/W printers? on LCD Display Questions - Longevity and Monochrome? · · Score: 1

    never... Go look at some old HP deskjets. Some of them ran for ages on one toner cart. Newer ones do not run as long. Why? It wasn't cost effective when you can make a printer that wastes more toner and you sell more toner. Same way with current inkjet. if they really wanted to make something more cost effetive they could but they dont want to when people will buy more carts. HP, epson, etc make most of there money this way. Not from the printers.

    While you state those are "Simple instructions" which they are for a *nix world but if you ask any Mac Graphic Designer who works with Photoshop, Quark, Freehand, Illustrator and tell them to do those things they will probally get kinda lost and wonder what the hell they are really doing. and all this for a program that isn't even as well designed as Photoshop?.

    about half of all Mac users are simple people who wants something that they can just do in a rush. Like open up an image in photoshop, create an oval shape, invert, delete, edit layer properies and add some effects. There done. a nice little frame around an image. They don't want to mess with doing startx --rootless and then opening up the gimp and then learning it. As soon as the Gimp has PMS, dutone, tritone, lab, CMKY then people might look into it. but until then its just a cult app.

  18. next P2P application on Security Through Varying IPs · · Score: 1

    Could something like this work as a P2P app? where you connect to another machine (VPN_ and uses its inet connection to view other pages/ftp but with everyone having a VPN connection. No logs stored so no way to trace the true source. Seems like it might work but you might get some slow connections but if you need a secure connection you probally are not asking for a high speed T3 line to bounce your traffic to/from.

    Just an idea.

    But once the power comes back on you waste power to spin the HDs, Turn on Video, etc. For Worstations Great. Servers NEVER!. Put the monitor into sleep mode or use a KVM for 10 servers sure. When power goes out you want to be there to check the status of the UPS and if needed have it turn off when the juice is low (which should not happen). Besides Servers are still going to be used when the power is out.

    Some power management is good for Workstations. (turning off hard drives after an hour, monitor after 15)

    Power management for servers is not a good idea. Monitor would be ok but NEVER hard drives.
