The worst part about it was before we got the custom solution, we absorbed an ISP of "elite" Win3.1 users who all had 2 phone lines, so we couldn't ask them to go away and try some setting - they've be all "oh, hang on, I can try that right now". Crappy Win3.1 modem drivers did so much to add to the joyous experience. If USRobotics and ( to a lesser extent ) the other external modem vendors hadn't been so overpriced, they could have done the world a favor and rid us of all those PoS internal modems especially those damned Winmodems and the accursed IBM MWave ( GAAAAAHHHH!!!!)
his software sucked nasty goat balls. I never used it on any of my own machines but had to support it for my then employers' Win 3.1 users. He might have gotten some users online but the fucking crap couldn't keep them there - not for very long. We eventually paid for a custom stack that was much more user-friendly and far more reliable
Which might force you to buy from only a really big ISP. While my DSL reseller has business plans, the rate cannot be an ironclad guarantee because the courts granted the Telco, which also sells to end-users and businesses, the right to traffic shape EVERYONE.
As an atheist, I don't really care what someone's religious beliefs are. But I do object to them demanding special consideration because of it or the imposition of those beliefs upon societies. At that point, that's where I want to see proof and neither scratchmarks on moldy paper nor oral tradition suffices - but they do make great campfire stories.
I don't think that the spinning rust disks can maintain the impressive growth rate we've seen to date. Of course, I'm far from the 1st to say this but I do think we're close to a tipping point for SSDs (finally!!).
Well, instead of saving up for a another big SSD, I'll go buy whatever it is you're smoking!! A petabyte SSD / HDD?? At equal cost? Just the thing I need to store my holodeck scenarios.
It's more about the iPhones and iPads - things that can be taken to a patient bedside, check medicine & dosage and update patient records or the doc can have something light and portable ( and starts up quickly ) that also has enough clarity to view medical images ( the iPad performs tolerably here )
I later got a Kingston V-series which was supposed to have a fixed controller - at first, they didn't admit it was actually a JMicron but a Toshiba. After questioning them, it turned out Kingston, JMicron and Toshiba made some adjustments to the design to mitigate stuttering at the cost of a reduction in read/write speed. It was better but would still stutter under load, just not as often or for quite as long.
Having been a somewhat early adopter of SSDs, I got bitten a couple of time by the JMicron bug - a pox on them. I've decided I won't buy another SSD until I can get a 128 GB drive for $100
on a (rich) consumer SSD. But, while I'm loving all the Marvell / Sandforce / Intel hypersonic speed-worthiness, how about a decently fast, really affordable solid state drive? How much longer will these be 20x the per GB cost of a HDD?
Apparently, 6000 employees and $2 billion in revenue. Based on the bitter experience I've had with McAfee products, they must have one AWESOME team of cocksuckers, er, I mean experienced technical salespeople.
My second-choice x86 vendor is now bonded to my second-to-last choice security suite; unfortunately these are now both the 1st choice of my company. Yay.
Apple is making serious inroads in healthcare largely on the strength of its appeal to tech-savvy doctors and researchers and the clout they have in affecting purchasing decisions.
Haven't we learned by now that "easily fixed in software" means "flipping hack that may or may not do what you think for the 1st 1-3 years, may require a firmware update that may brick your device and will introduce another attack vector that will require an even more intrusive security solution to mitigate"?
Considering that a bunch of momma's-basement-dwellers have cracked one supposedly-uncrackable scheme after another, I don't expect a reliable software fix anytime soon.

You can't expect the judiciary of a great christian nation to not care that you might be jerking off in your bedroom with a giant dildo up your asshole for you aren't truly alone in your bedroom but are a naked offense in the sight of the LORD, the omnipotent omnivoyeur
As someone who's very used to temp extremes, I can tell you that, if your friend can go barefoot in snow, he must have exceptionally good circulation to his extremities. That's innate, although I suppose acclimation from childhood is possible. I highly doubt that an adult could make the same adjustment
It's not that they won a Grammy - it's the category. Jethro Tull was an awesome band back in the day. I'm not familiar with too much of their stuff after the early '80s and not at all with Crest of a Knave but I would never class them as Hard Rock, which is what they won. So new categories, belatedly, were created after something of an uproar.
With the number of laws both at the state and federal level prohibiting protests within 500 ft of a funeral, they'll be inciting the cops. For the Phelps' sake, I hope God hates Tasers, too
When there's so much wasteful spending, why focus on cutting something that may actually pay off, even if not immediately. Roll back the tax cuts for the wealthy, start closing military bases and end the war(s). Start closing the feeding troughs for corn farmers and oil companies. That will free up one hell of a lot of cash. Just half the money spent or slated to be spent in the Middle East wars would have fully funded every major worthwhile ( and even some harebrained ) infrastructure project in the US. And don't get me started on the bailouts ( although some of it, I admit, was necessary )
Exactly. Who needs science when you've got faith. Let those nasty terrorists try to spread their dirty nukes - we'll defeat them with the power of prayer because we believe, the Almighty will protect us, we will lay down our lives because we love Allah,......oh, wait a minute
I remember those halcyon days when a billion dollars was a lot of money. A 10% cut to the combined DOD spending and Homeland Security budget would make this plan almost revenue neutral over the 6 years.
I don't understand why the news about the Saudi oil reserves comes as a shock to anyone. When you constantly claim to have more and more reserves while you deplete them at the rate of 1-2 billion gallons yearly and refuse any request for independent verification and have a clear political and financial motive to prevaricate, clear-headed people should start wondering what the real story is. Also, I read almost 10 years ago that the Saudis were pumping ever-increasing amounts of seawater into Ghawar to keep production up and yet were claiming they could recover an additional 125 billion barrels on top of the 60 billion already pumped.

Hey, that's a great link. Too bad you can only compare 2 at a time

My suggestion to you is to ask a question or two before taking a flying fuck at a rolling assumption. Did you overlook the word "early"?
I bought an OCZ core in 2008 largely based on the (at the time) impressive cost-per-GB and this review: http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=200&Itemid=1&limit=1&limitstart=9

And, of course, this has always been 100% foolproof and has never caused crashes, corruption or been bypassed, right?
If Slashdot is so full of idiots, feel free to stay the hell away - but I think that you feel right at home.
