These drives are supposed to have 750,000 hours MTBF. They are enterprise-class 10k RPM SCSI drives that cost about $850 each when they were new.
The fact that so many have broken to the point that there is a 60-day wait to get them replaced under warranty (IBM is out of spares at the moment) is an absolute outrage.
'Northwood' or not, there is no way that the P4 can outperform the Athlon XP.
I do not believe for a second that the addition of DDR ram to the P4 system increases Quake 3 framerates by 10% or more compared to the Athlon XP. that the P4 outperforms the G4 and Athlon XP Photoshop benchmarks
The owners sold the company to a larger company, that's all -- it's neither good nor evil.
Did CmdrTaco & company "sell out" when they sold Slashdot to Andover? Not really -- they couldn't afford to keep the place running in the way they liked.
For all the noise that's being made about how easy it is to get high-encryption software & how laws cannot or will have no effect on criminal behavior.... Guess what?
It worked. The terrorists used the east easily & readily available tool -- the default windows 40-bit encryption.
I read on indymedia.com that the WTC was actually blown up by friends of Presiden Bush because the trilateral commission did not allow a conspiracy by corporate capitalists to globalize the war in Israel.
Trolleys used to run on city streets and provide alot of the features that this system does.
Trolley tracks used to run on existing streets and provided rail links in congested areas of cities & even intra-city travel.

Netcraft confirms: The X-Files is dying
Yet another
crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered The X-Files community when recently
IDC confirmed that The X-Files accounts for less than a fraction of 1
percent of ratings. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft
survey which plainly states that The X-Files has lost more market share,
this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The X-Files
is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by
failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin
comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com]
to predict The X-Files's future. The hand writing is on the wall: The X-Files
faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for
The X-Files because The X-Files is dying. Things are looking very bad for
The X-Files. As many of us are already aware, The X-Files continues to lose market
share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Scully is the most
endangered character of them all, having lost 93% of its core writers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
The X-Files leader
Chris states that there are 7000 viewers of The X-Files. How many viewers
of The Simpsons are there? Let's see. The number of The X-Files versus The Simpsons
posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are
about 7000/5 = 1400 The Simpsons viewers. That 70's Show posts on Usenet are about
half of the volume of The Simpsons posts. Therefore there are about 700
viewers of That 70's Show. A recent article put Mad TV at about 80 percent
of the The X-Files market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400
Mad TV viewers. This is consistent with the number of Mad TV Usenet
posts.
Due to the troubles of MS-NBC, abysmal sales and
so on, Mad TV went out of business and was taken over by
Fox who sell another troubled OS. Now Fox is also dead,
its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major
surveys show that The X-Files has steadily declined in market share. The X-Files is
very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If The X-Files
is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. The X-Files
continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at
this point in time. For all practical purposes, The X-Files is dead.
Don't think too hard, because you won't be in any office.
Councilmen don't make decisions about PC stuff, civil service people do. This is not a hot-button issue that anyone outside of the IT community cares about one way or another.
The big money in government is spent on professional services during installation -- not software.
You seperate services to maximize uptime & security. DNS has no business running on a database server. A database has no business running on a webserver.
What happens if your DNS box goes down? Whoops, everything is on that box!
There are probaly more fruitcakes like yourself downloading 100mb pr0n movies, warez and mp3s on newsgroups instead of using them legitimately.
The problem with this picture is that you are paying $40-45 alot of bandwith. Your previous provider, @Home used a stock market bubble and fraud to enable them to sell their product at a loss.
No company is going to support criminal activity on that level.
Any search of your property requires a warrant & sherriff or marshall escort. A judge will not issue a warrant without some evidence of criminal activity.
Alot of the language in license agreements is simply crap & unenforceable to boot.
'limited effect' depends on your definition of limited.
The destruction of the World Trade Center and surrounding buildings is resulting in a $5 billion tax shortfall annually for New York state alone.
Consider the econonomic impact of that. 50,000 people were once employed in those buildings. There was as much office space in the WTC as there is in most mid-size to large cities.
Americans feel safer because we are actively pursuing our enemies.
Phillips is merely protecting their intellectual property (ie the CD standard) RIAA member companies were unlawfully violating their licenses of CD-DA technology by labeling non-compliant discs with the Compact Disc logo.

What you need is to build a Mac print cluster.

Macs are faster for floating point operations, and you need good floating point performance for vector printing.
There is an article about it here. http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,50078
If you don't like OS X, try running PPC linux or hurd.
Speed things up by forming a committee?? HAHAHAHA!
Have you ever worked at a real job before?
Duplicate posts would not be a problem if the editors didn't post duplicate stories.

Just had two 18GB IBM SCSI (LZX) drives die after less than a year. Also had 6 bad disks in 5 months on a shark at work.
Never, ever, ever, ever buy IBM storage.

These guys are obviously not Tom's Hardware.
Ethernet cannot utilize nearly as much of it's available bandwith as SCSI (Firewire is essentially a serialized SCSI interface)
When ethernet utilization hits 50%, performance starts to crumble. SCSI can run up to the limit with little trouble.
This is why you see more large scale SAN's networked by Fibre Channel & SCSI rather than Ethernet (although ethernet models are appearing as well)

CRM implementations are known for not working and costing alot of time & money.
Why would you want to implement such a thing?
Ok, did you read the article?

What a fucktard you are.
If Microsoft released an OS with the teething problems found in 2.4, you would be out with your friends gathering pitchforks & torches.
Face it. 2.4 sucks. Even-numbered kernels are supposed to be STABLE. (ie YOU CAN USE THEM SAFELY)
Laws supercede such declarations.
If I made somebody sign a paper that states that I cannot be held accountable for my actions, it is completely irrelevant.

In New York, clauses of that sort are not valid.
In addition, most judges are not fond of extemporous quasi-legal language on leases, and sometimes will even throw the whole lease out.

This is nice, except that the man is living in a fantasy-land.
ISP's are not common-carriers, and never will become common carriers, because they don't want the regulatory overhead that phone companies see.
Resign so your company can replace you with someone competent.
