I dunno...all three of them had some obscene number of seeders (and a large number of downloaders) and I'm barely getting any throughput, well at least not downstream - plenty of people are using my upstream.
Oddly though - when I first started, I was getting 44kbps+ and then it dwindled off. I would have thought I would be getting better performance...perhaps I am just getting unlucky and getting slow seeders:(
I believe his idea was to have an IDE drive with a power connector and an ethernet connector. That way you don't need another computer holding the drives running the hyperSCSI server.
Right now buying something online is a little bit cheaper because I don't pay the sales task. If I buy a $10 book from amazon, I'm saving about $0.70. For bigger items it would add up.
BUT...would the lack of a brick&mortar store (or at least chain of them) be able to offset that cost?
And would this hurt all "e-tailers" equally? I'm thinking about the stuff I've bought online. There were two big purchases (minDV cam and telescope) that I am grateful there were no sales tax. However, I had no local option to buy those from, so I would have either had to mail-order it or buy it online. Other, smaller, cheaper things I've bought online were similar items - stuff that you just can't find in the mass-market stores around here. Books that noone carries, a Scooby wall clock for the kid that you can't find in stores, etc...
So a tax may not be the greatest for stores selling the same crap you can go down the street to get, as the price will be just about the same, and you have to pay shipping and wait for it. But for stuff outside the mass market merchandise, I don't think it'll make too much of a difference.
Also, you gotta wonder how many people will not even include sales tax in a purchase thought and get hit by it as an "oh shit" afterthought.
Which goes to what it said about the supremes saying a state can only impose the tax if the business has a physical presence in the state. Barnes & Noble probably has a store in every state, so it would be liable. Amazon doesn't...so only in a handful of states.
Interesting if you colocate servers...wonder how that works.
I was like that too...tons of DVD's lined up. The last season wasn't bad. It was a bit odd in some places, but some interesting stories - except for Survival, which was too much like The Greatest Show in the Galaxy..."We have the tardis and a rock quary - come up with a script."
Guess I forgot it was a "childrens" show to begin with. I see where a 5 year old could be frightened...though my kids would probably love them. Hmmm...something to try this weekend.
Well, I'll take a planet where it rains all the time (ie. shooting in Wales) over the Voyager/Enterprise outside sets anyday. How many planets in the universe have little dwellings in the middle of a desert? A lot of them I guess. Then again, I remember the old days when the Doctor visited planets other than Earth on a regular basis.
I like Pertwee the best, though like most American's, Tom Baker is the one that I saw first.
However, Colin Baker I think provided quite a breath of fresh air. In a lot of ways he actually reminded me of Hartnell's Doctor...rough, but caring underneath - just a little darker.
Amen - I was so happy to finally get BBC America to find that everytime I turn it on, they are in someones garden trying to make a 20x20' backyard look better.
Kinda like turning on SCI-Fi and getting scare tactics and crossing over.
Makes for the more realistic counterstrike...not only are you running around with an MP5, but your running on one as well. Perhaps you could add some gyro mouse to your mp5 so you use it to aim as well:)
Sounds like we have found someone else who has been making money one way and think they have a right to continue their current business model instead of moving with the times.

I like NYC, but driving though there one time right after getting married, I though "I'd never want to live here with a family."
My best friend used to live there. Like you said, no room for quite a bit of rent. He had a tiny fridge, just to keep a couple things cold, as he would eat out all the time (that's gotta hurt the wallet). His window looked into a small area full of overgrown brush and then another building 10' away. For such a small place, the bathroom was unusually large. Plus your life is somewhat at the mercy of how your neighboors behave, etc... At least he was on the top floor and had a second locked door besides the entrance before you got to his section of the apartment. And you had little storage space, and a communal storage space in the basement (he said a neighboor found a homemade porno of another couple in the building.)
But, I digress - didn't you read the part of the article where Joel talks about having the programmers wanna live in the apartment:)
Here are my DHCP logs which show the MAC of the user using that IP at that time. Have fun tracking them down.
Sure...it probably wouldn't fly much better than a brick, but it'd be worth a try. Step B would be to forge your MAC to be different than the one in your machine to prove that it couldn't have been you since it's a fact that MAC's are unique to cards;)
Fix a potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing. This problem
is not exploitable in the default sendmail configuration;
only if non-standard rulesets recipient (2), final (4), or
mailer-specific envelope recipients rulesets are used then
a problem may occur. Problem noted by Timo Sirainen
If it had been a MS bug, then almost every computer on the net would be vulnerable to it thus causing a helluva lot more unneeded worm traffic.
Because we know a sendmail worm couldn't kill the net...well...uh...okay...that was a long time ago:)
but Britney Spears does. So do all the other talentless hacks out there. If anything, the Record Companies won't want anything to do with anyone with genuine talent. If Britney gets uppitty, she can be replaced. She has no leverage at all.
That just made me think of Led Zeppelin. Of course they were HUGE. The record company knew it, and they knew it as well. Of course, you could't do like Britney and just replace them with someone else.
That gave Led Zeppelin a lot of leverage to dictate how their contract was going to be done...which gave them a helluva lot more of the sales than most artists. I really can't think of an artist today that would have that kind of pull. Perhaps Dave Matthews - then again I'm a living anacronism, stuck in the 80's.
Damn...too bad their desktop OS's aren't as concerned about security. I guess they don't have a bad business model there, just bad practices so they don't need to circle the wagons as tight.

before I got a TiVo, I would web-surf during the ads
Of course, there was that period (adcritic.com) where people would web-surf for the ads.

I always hear the Daleks refered to like that - watching behind the couch.
Has anyone here ever been scared of the daleks? I think I was more scarred of some of the fuzzy CSO from the Pertwee era.
(CSO - Color Serpation Overlay - ie blue-screen)

What does this thing use for power? I'm assuming the one blue connector is the power hookup, but what does one hookup to it?
Translation: how do I put one of these in my car and get juice to it?
I take it you've not seen Red Dwarf, otherwise you'd know how dangerous it is to add any kind of CPU to a toaster :)

mising the point - he may look like luke or anakin, but nothing like vader.
What horrid casting - they guy looks nothing like Vader.
It's not about what Sony/Take-Two may have done or not...it's about the fact that sony has money, the parents of the killers do not.

Aw...shoot...I'll settle for more A-Team

Forget modding...I just take a bit of electrical tape and stick it over the LED's. Room is much darker now.
:) Time to tape up the blow holes.
Probably shouldn't have got thant Antec PS with the blue LED's though
