Hmmm. Perhaps, but I was also under the impression that once you put the disc inside a caddy, or enclosed cartridge environment the disc was unable to be steadily spun as fast, with as little margin of accuracy as without the case. *shrug* maybe not though, because Magneto-Optical discs have a cartridge shell. I would be interested in a technical perspective from any so qualified person.
Forget E-Bay then =) Start a SlashAuction =P Each new bid higher than the last can go as a reply to the last high bid comment. You could get quite a bit for it. But no Shilling! *grin*
Remember caddies? Remember how we bitched? Remember how the cd-rom manufacturers removed them? My bet is that a cartridge would make a helluva cry again.
*sigh*... the day a slashdot user reads previous posts before posting their "insightful" comment on the issue ("This has been done in a lower bandwidth, therefore you are wrong to want higher bandwidth!" or "I dont need higher bandwidth, why the hell should you") I will keel over and die from a heart attack. (The excitement that some geek actually learned some social skills would send me into a fatal cardiac arrest).
fm6, he said he wanted to play VIDEO over ethernet. VIDEO. not "a small amount of data from a T3". Try that over serial, why dont you. He wants to have his box far far away from everything else, not right next to his TV. try that over serial, why dont you. Without a "complicated kludge" external repeater. Please, PLEASE read previous posts before passing judgement on what someone else wants. and consider.. if he wants ethernet "just because"... then that's a perfectly reasonable reason for him to work out how to GET ethernet. Nobody said that *you* had to use ethernet, or that since ethernet can be added that your serial link is useless, outdated, archaic, and no longer cool. *however*, if you think that, and dont know how to wire up an ethernet connection, and feel bad because of it, that's no reason to belittle what they accomplished.
Please think about it, even for only a second; hey?
And so to boil it down the only people that this book will REALLY help are:
FileMaker Pro Owners
Linux Newbies with MySQL who think that alone makes them a DBA
Microsoft SQL Server Owners. Mandatory Microsoft Dig
Come on.. this book is hardly ground breaking, describes very little which is not basic knowledge. What use could a review of it on a tech website possibly have?
So I was thinking "Of course he's read about the fish...".. given that you must have used it before and seen The Link. Oh, wait... The HyperLink on altavista's page... oops webpage which explains all about the fish.. damn.. the babelfish and its origins. it's a fish. It translates. the type of fish? Babel I guess. It's a babelfish. Calling it 'the fish' is not a bad thing. get over it.
Its stories like these which REALLY make me wish someone could use ALL of their moderation points on a STORY and set -5: Lies; -5 Deception and -5 Advertisement. Really... this is nothing more than advertising.
Its a shame that some of the more pressing issues werent taken up for by the request for comments. It would appear that the entire thing was rigged from above; merely to serve as a 'But we asked!' for later when political complaint arises.
so instead of hyping up benchmarks to absolute best case indications, then maybe change them to 'this was BEST case, dont expect it all the time, this was WORST case, you'll get at LEAST this." I want to know real numbers. I want to know what they got, every time. Not what they got 'after running it a few times, it increased to...' I dont want a medium, its deceptive. I dont *want* to go home and find it slower to start up, but get very fast later if the sales person or benchmark said 'its average speed'.
The goal of a benchmark shouldnt be a best case scenario. Maybe I'm wrong, but when I see a benchmark, I want to be able to think 'this is the least I will get out of product XYZ'. I dont want to see benchmarks which have had every extra.0001 tweaked out of it. If I see a benchmark exceptionally high, only to get the product home, and see it low, what has the product gained, other than my dissatisfaction?
Why perform the benchmarks on non-virgin chips? I mean really, benchmarks should be about worst case scenarios, not best case. Best case benchmarks only disappoint people later when performance decreases.
it would just be nice for a change to see a story saying instead of "Novell Is Dying!!!" or "RedHat Linux.0 is buggy!" to say "Novell is trying hard despite the odds, is it enough?" or "RedHat Aims High but Misses the Mark"... why is every story posted seem to be a negative post unless its a 'hot' ("Transmeta Benchmarks Dont Add Up, but They're Still REALLY GOOD!!!") topic?
As a hobbyist programmer I often find myself gaping at the coding styles of other programmers. I started my programming life as a visual basic programmer (cut the flames), but my instructor (well, person who I went to when BIG problems arose) was a C programmer. As such, he refused to help me unless my coding was explicitly set out in a specific way. Everything had to be named right, in the right files, called the right way. And THEN he would look at my work, and say "Should of done this in C CyberKnet... this is quite nice". I never inherrited the sloppy coding that is common to visual basic programmers. Just thought I'd air a public thanks to good C programmers everywhere, and great project administrators. When they do their job well, it makes things SO much easier to maintain.
Since so many technology service providers (although not the majority) rely on microsoft written operating systems (and thus microsoft written TCP/IP Stacks) does this mean that there will be a microsoft enforced 'mandate' on when IP v6 should come into play? I find it distressing at the least that microsoft could be in a position to dictate when IPv6 should be activated on a wide spread basis. At the _least_.
Does anyone know the reason nobody is doing a mass rollout of IP v6? It was my belief that it was supposed to present a heap more address space; even my web hosting company told me they couldnt give me a real IP for my domain because of "Arin's restrictions" referring there to arin.net. I was told a year ago that v6 was "almost here" however everyone seems reticent to incur a mass rollout... why?
A company has every right to withhold their copyright once they stop trying to "sell" a game. Nobody ever said they _had_ to sell you that game in the first place. Nobody ever said you _had_ to buy it (or access to it). Why on _earth_ should they be required to release their property to you just because they dont USE it? That's like saying your neighbor should give you his 67 mustang just because he doesnt use it any more, and after all, he let you drive it once or twice for a couple of bucks.
This business model patent covers the expediting of greencard issuance to individuals who do not posess US Citizenship; and said individuals whom also do not qualify for US Residency.
The system first uses a complex proprietry algorithm to determine the indivuals personal characteristics, and then takes this information, and places it in a relational database. The database is then queried for like matches of other individuals whom are already US Citizens, or qualify for US Residency.
Once matches have been found, an ID number is associated to the query, and stored for later use. The matches are then pulled into a temporary table, and photographs of said matches are then displayed on a web page for the original individual to view. The individual then rates the matches with a visual acceptability percentage next to the computer generated personality acceptability percentage, and results are then generated based upon these numbers.
When the final results are viewed, the individual is asked to make a final decision, at which point in time, a monetary amount is arranged. The money is then divided exactly in a 2/3 to 1/3 ratio, with the larger amount being deposited in the final matches bank account. This amount should be no less than USD$100,000. When said money is successfully retrieved, a state authorised person shall marry said couple, and Greencard issuance should ensue within six months. Citizenship is typically granted after a period of four to six years, at which point in time the business relationship shall terminate, and the individual can arrange to bring his family, and original wife into the country.
This patent covers the serving of dynamic news related content via obfuscated CGI scripts written in perl to be delivered to geek news reading masses. Patent #18524 covers the practice of receiving end user information input via web based forms. Patent #18525 covers the moderation of any such comments so as to filter out any unwanted/undesirable comments, and raise attention to comments which are insightful, informational, funny, etc. Respective patent #18526 covers the business practice named 'Karma Whoring' (of which the author is obviously innocent).

I was recently visiting a friend in Chicago, and he informed me that the ONLY way he could get rid of the LD carriers calling him was to tell them he worked for their opposition, and that there was no WAY they could beat the rates he was offered as part of his compensation package. Also bringing into play the respective laws which could be broken, he said he had his lines go from 3 calls a night (from different providers) to 1 call a month. not a bad scam.
