I hear this all the time, and I have the same response: on an ordinary road, 4WD provides almost ZERO advantage in the snow over FWD. None. Zip. Zilch.
If you've lost front traction on a flat, featureless road, chances are you've lost rear traction as well. On a bumpy road, 4 drive wheels means you (basically) double your chance of rubber meeting road. On a featureless snowy road, that chance approaches zero because there is little or no variation in surface.
If you drive into a ditch or median you may have a better chance of getting out, or if you snap your struts on a curb you might be able to limp better than a 4WD, but those advantages are marginal and by then you're already in trouble anyway.
A recent episode had what seemed like interstellar terrorists on it. The theme was a sort-of "with us or against us" thing, as if the episode had come straight out of a propaganda machine. I don't need my Star Trek telling me what to think. I want my Star Trek making me think.
So instead of being told to think about something, you'd rather be made to think about something? I don't get it.
Sure Emperor Bush would love this episode from his own narrow perspective, but on the whole wasn't the point of the ep about freedom of thought for everyone?
A more general theme of the show is letting people live out their lives as long as no one's freedom is being infringed upon. This goes against the US' foreign policy realpolitik, so you might want to reconsider your assessment of the show as propaganda.
at least, the klingons were like the russians we were led to believe existed - expansionist conquerers. the romulans are a better match - a little more paranoid and an arms race to boot.
the middle east isn't a coherent political entity, therefore it can't be much of an enemy (much like drugs or terrorists).
if you paid attention to the eprise episode, though, you'd see that fundamentalism was the enemy, with freedom of thought as champion.
despite its faults, i would be really disappointed if it was canceled this early. enterprise is a great tool for assimilating my son into geekdom.
i haven't seen many negative comments here that explain why they hate enterprise. if given a chance, you can find some very good episodes in a sea of mediocre ones - not unlike TNG, and much better than crappy "reality" TV.
There is room for improvement, but hidden in all the crap are good characters (Shran & Phlox, in particular), and more solid actors (compare to Voyager crew) - if you can stand the moderate deviations from long-established trek canon and mythologoy. Consider that much of that is due to past inconsistency in the other series.
See http://nx01.us/torrent for eps. Particularly good are 101/102, 107, 126/201, 202, 203, 215, 217, 223, 224, 226, most of 3rd season except for a few (the Xindi arc needs to be tighter - I don't like being strung along). There was a stretch when B&B were on hiatus and the shows got a bit better.
All in all, if I wasn't complaining, I wouldn't care. Tune in and give it another chance. This week's show promises to be entertaining.
or maybe part of him really wanted to know if he could squeeze a few quid out of The Enemy. Everyone seems sure he's innocent of this rather understandable human indulgence, when the email he admits to sending is at least indicative of a desire to get $10,000 from MS.
mike's friends say "d00d your name is mike rowe, and that sounds like mic-ro-soft. you should register the domain." and he was all "yeah, and i'll make it something generic and innocuous like a w3 authoring business, and if ms asks for it they'll pay 10 grand for it."
lawyer letters freak out kid, who falls back on the "web authoring business defense."
or maybe he really is a totally innocent entrepreneur, who knows.
me too... probably because those damn venera pictures are the only real glimpse if you don't count the radar maps. more mystery == more allure. at least for me;)
i'm not sure i have a firm opinion on it yet, but i'm open to it as a potential solution.
just because YOU think it's wrong (without citing any substantive reason, btw) doesn't make it wrong any more than a wiki def makes it right.
my main gripe with posts that complain about the problem is that they blame it on marketers (who have their legitimate role) and don't bother to cite a solution. this is a recurring theme on/. and it is tiresome.
if taking SI literally is wrong (like the aforementioned hard drive marketers are accused of doing) and proposing a set of definitive prefixes is wrong, then what, praytell, is right?
i'll lean toward tebi unless i hear a better idea from you whining geeks:)
because it does nfs and cifs - as an example, not a recommendation.
are you talking about 2003 and 2k servers as cifs clients or as domain/AD controllers? the latest versions of data ontap support kerberos, AD as well as good old NTLM.
if your filer was at 100% utilization then it was misconfigured or undersized. NetApp's autosupport feature is great, but it doesn't save you if you are not familiar with how to administer the filer.
using dell servers and debian is a nice solution also. samba is much more flexible than data ontap's cifs implementation. whatever works for you...
Network Appliance is a company that provides NAS products. I was answering the question as to whether or not there was a NAS solution that reliably did NFS and CIFS. to be precise:)
It's pretty chilling - when you're faced with it, it feels just like it did when armed national guardsment starting patrolling NYC and airports - I got that same surreal feeling of dystopia when I went to a bank for a loan last week, and they recited a disclaimer about non-disclosed release of information to law enforcement if required by a "terrorism" investigation. Given how broad that term is, I think it's plain how easily this can be abused.

> incredible work done in Voyager.
voyager stomped more trek canon, had poorer dialougue, and the worst acting in general - of all the series, including the animated one.
i still liked it more than friends, though.

i think i know what you mean, but i think it's presumptuous to assume that the way you see things is the way they are.
but his name is mike rowe not mike rowe soft

why do you hope that poor male college students get screwed? maybe you could just attend more frat parties and do it yourself.

science is certainly LARGER than any one person, but its importance is completely relative to the person or entity evaluating it.
newsflash: science is not everyone's religion. the parent post is the opposite of insightful.
maybe the original one.

The parent's reasoning is flawed, and probably a troll, but here goes:
I know several idiots with college degrees.
The same skills that make one a brilliant theorist, artisan, thinker, etc. are not necessarily the ones that help you complete a degree program.
