My single computer stands about as much chance of finding the key inside dnet or outside dnet.
'cept that you probably wouldn't write a search client. I know that you seem to be saying that they're nothing and you're something, but *they're actually doing something*.
It appears, though, that there's no contention that it is a derived work. That's why they're releasing it under the GPL -- because they think they legally have to. If they were hiding the fact that they used GPL code, they'd not bother GPLing their product.
Sounds like you made a lot of bad decisions in life, and now you're dealing with them. You got a degree in Spanish? What the hell kind of career is that supposed to prepare someone for? Something which can come close to paying back student loans? I don't think so. Especially Spanish... Bad decision #1.
So you were making $30k, and had a wife and kid... you had a mountain of debt and made a baby. Bad decision #2.
9-hour shifts with no lunch break? Illegal in most states. Or do you just not want to take the lunch break because you'd lose $27.50 a week? Why are you not reporting your employer to the state board of labor if they're really making it a requirement for you to go 9 hours without a break. Bad decision #3.
You picked a school where you can't test out of classes? What kind of moron with enough experience to excel picks a school where they don't have challenge exams? Bad decision #4.
If I were you, I'd learn how to change oil and brake pads and get myself down to an auto repair shop and quit whining. No matter where you are, cars need to be fixed, and you'll make more than $5.50 an hour.
I saw the same thing happen to a Hitachi storage unit. From what I can recall, a lot of the HP storage is relabeled Hitchi with slightly different firmware.
It's only a matter of time until a "terrorist" sends a mean e-mail from a hotmail account on a public connection, and it gets shut down for harboring terrorists.
If I want fast downloads, I'd paypal them a buck or two for a day or two of access to high-speed servers with ISOs. But a monthly fee whether or not I get anything of use to me?
One would presumably use a switch and full-duplex on all connections, eliminating collision domains.
If you've looked at the cost of gigabit switches, though, you'd see that it's not practical for home use.
As far as I can tell, USB2.0/IEEE1394 are not used too much for disk access, though. I think it's for several reasons, an obvious one of which is the fact that it's cheaper to throw an IDE disk into most boxes than attach a device with an enclosure, an interface converter (drives don't speak IEEE1394 natively, do they?) and a driver to access the storage.
So... why would this be any different for gigabit ethernet? I don't see iSCSI hitting the home anytime soon.
Why do nutjobs think that they have the right to change how everyone else lives in a relatively high-population area? They could move to Montana or Utah and be far away from electronic "civilization". Their inherent rights include the right to move away from things that bother them.
Just as importantly, beware what responsibilities you let corporations abdicate. "...but I had my fingers crossed behind my back, and only mentioned that in fine print I made you agree to..." should not be a valid defense against damage caused by software which is patently faulty, which the producer knew about, and which the producer wants to charge you to fix.
Why assume maliciousness?

I don't understand why this was presented as backing down as opposed to a mistake as to which license gets associated with which product.
There's no reason not to believe them that this was an error and had not reflected a conscious effort to change licenses on individual instances.
x.com goes to paypal because there used to be an "internet bank" which went by the name x.com which provided checking accounts, debit cards, and had some mutual funds. They bought PayPal and then stopped their x.com banking crap.
Q is Qwest's ticker symbol. I'd assume that TI and GM are their symbols as well, though HP's is HWP, so...
Which filesystems to use for Linux is becoming far too big of a deal here on Slashdot. Can't we consider it a FAQ and let people do their own research?
Many people use this for backing up to tape. You break the mirror logically, then stream it to tape, then add it back into the mirror and resync. It speeds backups because you back up from a disk which isn't otherwise busy with head seeks to other parts of the disk, and if you're doing it with software RAID, likely off a completely different SCSI controller.

And I only got modded to 1 for the same joke?
50MB/day is not a bandwidth hog.
My Apache logs have me uploading ~500MB/day. *That* may be hoggish. I wonder how much I download.
Excuse me, but boo fucking hoo.

I wonder how much cheaper it would be for MS to fix things before they go out the door vs. the service pack downloads.
I've misplaced SP2 for W2K a few times, downloaded it between 5 and 10 times. That's 500megs to a gig, and that's just me.
Hopefully you're not claiming it in the name of Windows ME. If so, I'm sorry to say it'll be End-of-Lifed when economically advantageous to Microsoft.
Shoulda built a Beowulf cluster of 'em.

Well, crush is strong
No, crush is usual.
It's also orange soda. Yummm.

OK, so there wasn't *really* a point.

You don't have to be running X all the time!
You don't have to be running an X server on the server -- you can manage through a remote X session if you have X-based apps!
X is so much more flexible than the Windows gui in that regard, I don't see room for adequate comparison.
Even worse is the latency. Analog's always sucked for latency. For interactive use, latency is often more important than bandwidth.
Sorry, but any excess capacity will immediately be filled by script-kiddie ping floods.
Anyone ever done a study on what percentage of traffic passing over backbones is ICMP-echo and reply?

Actually, Moore's law isn't about clock speeds, it's about the number of transistors.
42million x 16 (four doublings) = 672 million.
They're planning on slightly outpacing Moore's law, not lagging behind it.
