The only places I can think of that would benefit from this are supercomputing institutes We have been in the design phase for a storage solution that would provide scalability up to an exabyte (on paper, in theory, with some dark magic and light kludges). The only thing that has amazed me to this point is not the fact we can do it, its the number of applications that require (and the others that logically should require if they were not stuck in the 90's) a serious storage solution.
SHAMELESS PLUG BELOW: However the main problem is not how to store and retrieve the data in a seamless fasion, its power and the the fact that, for most applications, you rarely need the drives spinning...

Oh, that and 'dial in your own reliability' this last is my phrase.
I will forgo the usual bad joke for this thought: Someone should pick this up as an opportunity to create a commercial certification such as in MSA, UL, or to a much less and more stupid extent, A+. e.g. Certified to be factual by Sarlon (its made up I hope). With that they get the right to put the big ol' Sarlon stamp on the cover and in the publishers disclaimer. As with all certifications, whose without are obviously sub-par and not to be trusted. I am only partially joking.
Some people tend to look at better sites than others, who do you think is going to pay for this? huh? tell me!. You cant can you. Its the little guy thats who, the poor little Bell.
For instance, if an OS needs a firewall in order to be secure, that OS should be deemed 'insecure' until there is no longer a need (i.e. the problems fixed), but it does in no way indicate that all OSes need a firewall to be secure.
If there were a market for such tools for the MAC OS, people would buy and use them (its a curcular arguement, but thats economics for ya). Instead I would measure the relative security of the MAC OS by the lack of need for such tools for day-to-day operation. Just because one OS has a severe need for such third party tools, it should not indicate all OSes have the same need.
Becouse they moved the "artifacts" a long time ago. No one looks for where they are now since the government keeps saying they are definately not stored at area-51, thereby convincing everyone that they really are.
its just that properly set up and configured with regard to Windows is more of an artifact of the OS teaching you how to behave rather than the other way around and setting it up is more of an art form that strives to induce stability. The content of the artform is rather subjective at times.
Looking at the picture the system seems devoid of harddisk and the CD rom cables seem to be non-existant. I didnt quite make out a physical network connection so how is this thing booting? Or is it simply not?
"At one point, JT refers to Microsoft's Flight Simulator as a training simulator for the 9/11 terrorists"
Like railroad tycoon teaches you how to tycoon. Nintindogs teaches youi how to train a killer attack poodle. In fact, to carry this rediculous point way to far, its exactly like the way Diablo 2 teaches you how to raise the dead and jump to an inhuman yet comical distance in order to umm, the things you normally do with undead.
I missed this one: If I want an opinion on windows or linux I will damn well use them both and figure out which one I prefer.
And then please, post the results on your blog.
I too do not give a rats ass what this guy thinks about Linux or Windows. But I also know that there are some here who do, and I have the option to ignore this article.
Look, this whole unbiased reporting thing is a load of crap. Newspapers started and functioned for years as weekly open political statements all packaged up for constituents to read. Both left wing and right. Everyone knew what they were and what the motivations were. It was only after pandering to the eventual advertisers that it was decided a more balanced approach was needed, neither to left and not too right. Water it down some more and perfect, we have a load of crap that cannot offend anyone becouse this crap has no smell. Except by the mear fact that they pander to the advertisers pretty much makes them biased by definition. I do not care about Windows Vs. Linux so much, but I do like to see this method of statement get some attention. It may not be unbiased or balanced, but its far more honest and his political agenda is in clear text.
CmdrTaco, we all know the MGP doesnt lie. You should just admit there is a little Styx and Def Leppard in each and every one of us. The object is to suppress this tendency and desire lest loved ones get hurt by it.
Like the blue colar machinist in the '70s everyone wants to be a geek or know one or make movies about them and claim they know one. Who can blaim them? Its a glamourous job. But excuse me, I have to go test the tensile streangth of the firewall and make sure she can still hold the load. After that I have to crank out about a dozen scripts for the backup server as the old ones are getting old and brittle. Exciting stuff. I am sure there is a mainstream movie in here someplace...
transferring such a mutation from a single cell organism to a mammal may lead to unforseen consequences.
Im guessing thats why they are looking for volunteer mice.

Only cooks, mechanics, loggers, carpenters and sysadmins use anything but metric. The scientific community uses metric. Unless your building a space probe, then you use both.

Only tax it. Such as in the way they havent quite eliminated in with hotmail. There are those spammers allowed to spam after paying the hotmail tax.

Since we are talking pie in the sky, I will bite:
It would be a major portion of the cost of a cheap PC.
downloading, are not typically time-sensitive anyway
I guess I typically download atypical things then. A few megabit per second is getting painfully slow for me.

It gracefully "cycles" your process so you have your memory leaks. If only other apps were coded for memory leaks.
However masturbating while drinking coffee can lead to other forms of illness. Or maybe it caused by other forms of illness, I forget which.

I solemnly swear, we will only mock you when its funny.

The whole concept that usage can be dictated in such a fasion is frightening and probably destructive overall.
