    Sounds fishy to me.

    Assuming, you live in the US, I don't think you know the meaning of the word treason. I'd mod you into oblivion as flamebait, but I sorta like my funny comment earlier.

    Hiya Jonathon Pater. You won't be able to hide behind Cowboy Neal anymore on WoW forums ;)

    Yeah but is Julia Gillard as hot as Sarah Palin? I think not.

    And I'm still in contact with the person who first trained me 35 years ago. Ancedotal material doesn't count.

  12. Re:Backup to tape? on 10 Tips For Boosting Network Performance · · Score: 1

    We replaced IBM's robot tape system with STK(now SUN) SL8500s. Two of them, miles apart. But mirroring hard drives miles apart works best imho. Manual mount tape drives aren't cost effective and other than for HSM, the STK robots are to keep customers who have their JCL coded for tapes.

    Slightly off-topic but oh well. Leave your home PC signed into gmail. When at work, sign onto gmail, and at the bottom of the screen it will tell you the IP address of anywhere else you are signed on (and the history under Details). Saves time looking up and writing down the IP address, and I don't have to ask my wife to look it up when I'm at work.

    It's what we tell all our relatives to do, but don't do ourselves.

    The British navy actually invented a similar concept during WWI. It wasn't successful for long. All it would take is one or two tries and the defenders would be watching out for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-ship

    I go to the Times weekly, just for Jeremy Clarkson's column. He has a monthly one at BBC as well, but a weekly dose is fun to read, but not worth paying that much for a subscription.

    Seems this committee might be relevant, and if you check the 2nd link in Google, there are quite a few doctors on it:

    Perhaps there are other factors or committees involved who ignored medical advice.

    China seems to play the game differently.

    "China joined the W.T.O. in 2001 and in its first seven years filed only three cases. But it has stepped up its pace recently, and has filed four of the 15 cases in the last year: two against the United States, on poultry and tires, and two against the European Union, on steel fasteners and poultry."

    from http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/15/business/global/15yuan.html

    China seems to be throwing their weight around lately, I guess because the US is busy with 2 wars, and the West's economy is in trouble.

    Thanks again for helping make Slashdot great!"

    I actually didn't mind slashdot's ads when I used to see them years ago. And it could be amusing when the company advertising was being trashed in the comments. But it's just plain good security to run adblock and noscript. But as others have stated, unobtrusive ads I don't mind, and some sites I go to I still see some of those when the author has taken the care to design his site that way (makes me even click on them too).
