It's not even a matter of trust, some people will follow instructions without asking why they are doing this. So your trick could be used to spam people and you'll get a lot of people that will do what you ask. It's even easier if you can tell people that the link goes somewhere that they might want to go, like cheap software, porn, cheap medicine, etc.
Not all 15k hard drives are loud, I think for a while, Storage Review's quietest drives were a couple Savvio 15k drives. I have one in each of two computers and the only thing I hear is the seek noise where the head moves. My 10k hard drives are a different story. The transition to fluid bearings might have been between the two models.
How much in a server room is actually water cooled? Server rooms seem to be the place where the people buying the hardware don't really care how loud it is.
Anyway, proper cooling doesn't mean loud. If you need a personal system, try silent PC review.
Right now, I have a Mac Pro with four 7200RPM hard drives, sitting three feet away, and I really don't hear the thing at all.
I think that's the way it should be. Particularly when eBay says that a bid is a contract in many localities. There's two sidees to the contract then, if the bidder is held to the demand that they must pay the said price for said item, then that demand doesn't make sense unless the item has to go for the bid price if it meets the reserve.
Specific fonts (or, correctly, "typefaces" - a given font is a particular incarnation of a typeface, including size, so Comic Sans 10pt is a different font to Comic Sans 12pt) shouldn't be necessary - families of typefaces maybe, if you're trying to achieve a particular style, but not fonts or even necessarily typefaces.
That ship has sailed. The only place that distinction really matters is where style designers like to talk their jargon. Unfortunately, languages change and it's not likely that profession can reverse the change.
Cleartype? Is that the only antialiasing that Windows has? Cleartype is rainbow-making even when "properly" set up. I don't like it, even after playing with the TweakUI settings that handle ClearType. Subpixel rendering like that just turns the edges of a font to random colors rather than let them be normal colors, that being red on one edge and blue on the other edge into a series of red, green and blue colors, depending on where the edge falls.
Refusing to set a prorated policy and refusing to educate theater managers is tantamount to extremism and saying that theater managers are supposed to be dumb.
I really wonder about that. A lot of movies don't get a distributorship, it's a basic fact of the industry, even more so with indie films.
Anyways, "blurring the line between fair use and piracy" is a red flag to me. I really won't agree with an argument that somehow fair use can be blurred to the extend that distributing entire works (entire songs, entire albums, entire movies, entire TV episodes) to potentially millions of people is somehow fair use. Fair use has usually been interpreted as short clippings, parodies, making a personal copy of a work that you legitimately have and so on.
It's not just testing, there is a LOT of money involved here. Maybe Apple only paid to test the Intel version, there is little reason for them to pay to test a legacy (for them) architecture, the newest PPC models are now nearing two years old now.

I think there are enough Japanese DVDs with subtitles to make an American fan broke, but that's not saying much given that movies can cost as much as $150. But the selection isn't huge. There is one minor US distributor that's actually a subsidiary of a major distributor that is selling the same disc to both markets.

Last I heard, the Internet is not there yet. Seriously. I heard an analysis on the Digital Production Buzz that distribution of a top selling movies like Cars or Shrek is not possible with the current backbones that's available, where the amount of data on plastic & aluminum discs of the sales of just ONE movie in the first week of sales exceeded the aggregate backbone capacity several fold for the same period on the Internet. And lots of new movies are released every week.
A better codec will shrink that down, but you aren't going to cut it down by more than half without losing picture quality. I really love how HD movies look, 1080p movies on a 1080p large projected screen is exceedingly nice. I'm not going to like anything that's bitrate starved to save on bandwidth. Disney's Pirates of the Carribean regularly exceeded 20Mbps, and that was with H.264 AVC.
The *real* next-generation media is when there is no media at all.
I think "next" generation kind of falls apart here, it really applies to both HD discs and internet downloads, though I Internet movies to be the final victor in the long run. I expect that there will be DVD, HD disc and internet streaming & downloads (with several formats within that) to coexist for some time.
Aren't going to happen until artists in the medium, 'good' artists rather, decide to start working for free the same way coders do. Some artists will work for publicity alone, bu they seem to be by far in the minority.
I really don't think that's fair or accurate for either programming or art. A lot of artists give away at least some of their work on the Internet, and a lot of programmers don't do that. Whether it's more prevalent in one field or another, that's a question that can't be definitively answered.
I wasn't aware that toner dust was being emitted. I was aware that the printers do emit ozone though, I smell a faint hint of it from time to time. It might be a double-whammy, though the toner seems minuscule to non-existent in comparison.
I don't know how much members of an open source software oriented site can say about those kinds of arguments without looking hypocritical at the same time. vi vs. emacs, command line vs. GUI, BSD vs GPL, BSD vs Linux, the language arguments and so on. I think getting beyond the arguments is the mature thing to do, but that's not an easy thing either.
The neoconservative label has been around for at least a few years in public political circles, I heard Mrs. Clinton use it in the 2004 elections, I think during the DNC. The origin of the term is something to label the "Reagan Democrats". It's an ideology that looks to me to justify hedgemonism and an extremely active and aggressive role in global activities.
I think seeing a show dedicated just to them would beat the (mild) fan out of me. I don't think there is a whole lot of variation in the cars unless you get some heathen that's painted his. Even adding the Bricklins in to the mix wouldn't seem to do it.
I guess I just don't get the single car model shows, maybe one has to be very dedicated to that model to even put up with it.
Sounds like a solution in search of users who misunderstand the problem.
The number of people that understand security/encryption/related is very small. I don't think I qualify as being knowledgeable. Anyways, it's a big potential market out there, those that don't know any better.
The original post said that HFS+ was case insensitive, and if that's the reason to reject it, then I think it's a bad reason, unless there is no Linux or Windows support for case sensitivity. Mac OS X Disc Utility offers case sensitivity, but it looks like you have to set it when you do the partitioning.
Personally, I just set up a "server" that shares drives by SAMBA. Then there's not as many problems sharing the actual files between platforms.
If it helps, the orbiters are among the safest vehicles on a per passenger mile basis. It doesn't help that it moves at nearly 18,000 miles per hour though, picking up over 100k passenger miles an hour, so you really clock up the miles on a mission.

I thought 30db was people 10 meters away whispering. 25dB is a LOT quieter than that, possibly equivalent to nearly 20 meters away.

Space flight isn't alchemy or a black art, it's possible for a major corporation to do it, but it still requires a lot of energy and money.

The legality of the demand doesn't mean it's not outrageous. That is close to suggesting that morality is equal to legality.

Satire of the politician is fine, however showing images of them picking their nose isn't...
I don't understand your statement in this context:
2.Coverage of proceedings must not be used in any medium for--
satire, ridicule or denigration
Satire looks to be a no-go, and the farting would appear to fall under this as well.
