That's just plain wrong. I've had batches of SCSI drives with high failure rates. When the maker screws up the glue and heads start falling off, scsi versus ide doesn't enter into it. SCSI cabling, termination and a shared bus can also be problematic as can subtle diffs in SCSI protocol implementation.
The drawbacks of IDE have historically been: not offered on the 10-15krpm drives, cruddy cables, can't do >1 drive per channel, many broken implementations, lower qa standards.
Oldtime drives had no digital hardware onboard. It made sense to integrate things to the point where the device can locate its own sectors, but it's arguable that SCSI puts too much on the drive. I'm in favor of the 3ware Escalade style architecture where each drive has an independent channel, and is treated as a relatively dumb device.
With the improved cabling, qa and spindle speeds, I think we're about to see some really rockin' IDE storage systems.
"Find out why publishers are consistantly mistaken for content creators over and over"
Yes. People make that mistake even when they know that the creator is dead. "But Mickey Mouse should always belong to Disney because *Disney* created him. Why should someone else be allowed to profit from *his* work?"
The rodent lives on, so Walt never dies. It's plain Gooofy(tm, fu di$ney).
We live in a faster world, patent and copyright terms *should* be getting shorter instead of longer. But, When I argue against the Rodent Protection Act, I often end up in a stalemate with a person who cannot conceive of a non-Disney-Mickey.
They feel that it's ok to extend copyright terms in order to protect "Disney" despite the fact that the man stopped breathing decades ago. They can never say just how long they think the term should be, just that "Mickey Mouse should always be exclusively Disney". Arguments about Cinderella, the wheel, fire, etc. just bounce off.
It seems that many intelligent people just haven't thought this all the way through. Mickey mouse in the public domain is dissonant to them so they accept the alternative without considering the side effects.
Acceleration and braking are part of the mileage estimate, and despite the increased mass, the chevy turns in the same mileage as the mazda. It's true that the vette has a lower drag coeficient than the mazda, but it's also quite a bit wider so drag is probably about the same.
I have no idea why you would call the Corvette stupid when it's one of the world's best sports cars. C5Rs finished 1st and 4th *overall* in the 24 hour race at Daytona in 2001 against far more exotic (and apparently delicate) machinery.
"fairly - Photoshop on a Mac vs Photoshop on a PC"
The name's the same, but we're talking about assembly level optimizations which necessarily differ between the two platforms. It's a different program for a different machine.
The fair test would be to pit the fastest Mac app against the fastest PC app.

"newer stuff is to the right"
Galeon has an option for drawing the tabs on any of the four sides of the page. Mozilla and Phoenix seem to lack this feature. I hope it's there in the new konq. BTW, I agree with you completely about tabs opening and closing in a consistent manner.
Is this thing directly targetting root/tld servers? Is the worm doing dns lookups as opposed to just picking an ipaddr? Is it the PTR servers which are being hammered by loggers doing reverse lookups?
Did someone jump to a bad conclusion based on ping stats?
Yeah, sometime around '95. I don't think it ever got past beta. When I tried to run it, it immediately crashed the Solaris X server. It was the most concise demo I've ever seen.

But it does complicate things greatly, increasing the chance that it will not work. Fancy bootstrapping is oxymoronic.
And you can rip the graphics card right out and operate it over a serial line.

No, I understood your point just fine. Your a non-American with an inferiority complex.
Acceleration and braking are part of the mileage estimate, and despite the increased mass, the chevy turns in the same mileage as the mazda. It's true that the vette has a lower drag coeficient than the mazda, but it's also quite a bit wider so drag is probably about the same.

"...American cars..."
Everyone figures that a 5 liter engine must get worse mileage than a 2 liter, but they rarely consider the fact that more torque means fewer revs.
A 400hp 5.7Liter Chevrolet Corvette gets the same 28MPG(highway) as a 140hp 1.8Liter Mazda Miata and it weighs an extra 400kg.
