Heh. I had a 4k+ uid that I lost. It wasn't deleted data, those are trivially recoverable. That specific chapter dealt with off alignment drives, iirc, and the issues it caused.
The old problem with multiple wipes depended on the fact that there were rather large tolerances, but modern drives are very close to limits caused by physics, which means that it's a lot harder to extract wiped data.
Not hard drives - floppy drives. I remember reading deleted data from a floppy disk on my Apple II boxes using Tricky Dick and other disk utilities, and you can set the drive to read to the "side" of each track. The stepper motor was good enough to go quarter tracking.
This is plain bullshit. They could have released the information so that the OSS people can write a patcher for the hard drives. But no. Any timelines "expect an OSX/linux patcher in 3 weeks"? No, no news at all.
If they have competent developers, they could write it in a portable manner, but, I doubt it'll happen.
And, I didn't realize the free software community was equivalent of being a gay, lesbian, bisexul or transexual. I thought we were just communists.
More importantly - threads are very difficult to get right, lots of races, etc. Guess what's going to happen when the bad guys start attacking? Lots of broken crap. Wheeeeeeee.
Then shouldn't you be looking at an atom or an older P3? P4 suck serious juice, and when the first one came out, the ranking went like this, in terms of performance: 1Ghz Athlon > 1Ghz P3 > 1.6Ghz P4
Withholding is not taxes. What you "feel" and what is true are not necessarily the same, and if you base your decisions on feelings instead of what is true, well, you get those damned flat earth people and "dinosaurs lived with humans" liars.
Oh boo hoo hoo. You got called out on a stupid mistake, and now you're all whiny about it. Cry me a fucking river.
Your original point was about tax brackets, so stop trying to squirm your way out about threshold and other crap. Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Are people really that stupid? A simple google search turns up:
For single filers (this is slashdot after all): (Tax Rate Schedule X)
* 10% on income between $0 and $8,025
* 15% on the income between $8,025 and $32,550; plus $802.50
* 25% on the income between $32,550 and $78,850; plus $4,481.25
* 28% on the income between $78,850 and $164,550; plus $16,056.25
* 33% on the income between $164,550 and $357,700; plus $40,052.25
* 35% on the income over $357,700; plus $103,791.75
Do you understand what the fuck that means? If you make less than $8025, you get taxed 10%. If you make between $8025 and $32550, that means you pay 10% on the first $8025, and 15% on the rest. That means the effective tax rate at $32550 is 13.77%.
At which fucking point can you come out ahead while making less money?!
the government's documented savings is US$10mil last year. And there are numerous undocumented savings, as well as followons, schools are now putting OSS in, etc etc.
Important note: Before I go any further I feel I need to make a point, and make it clear. The build I'm testing of Windows 7 (build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400) is a beta build, and as a rule beta builds are usually more geared towards stability than performance.
So, that's why Google keeps releasing betas, as they don't need the performance, and Microsoft keeps trying to get us to buy new RTM releases to help us improve the performance. Now I Get It.
We know/. is a labor of love, so the editors don't get paid, but isn't ZDNet commercial, and should be paying some filthy lucre to get people who can actually write?
Where the heck did you get Wasteland from? I succumbed to nostalgia, and downloaded some MS-DOS versions of wasteland. Holy Mother of God, CGA graphics sucked big time compared to Apple II Hi-Res. I played Wasteland on my Apple ][GS, and don't remember it sucking that much.
So, when the Catholics and Protestants were shooting and bombing each other, and bombing London, we should be suspicious of all Catholics and Protestants?
Other browsers can be installed but that is unsupported and might result in a call from the security department on why you use unauthorized software on your machine.
That's OK. Since I run the Security Department, I can just tell them that it is now authorized, and they should go bother someone else.
You are very stupid, aren't you? I can't say this in my staff meeting because someone else said that previously? My god, quick, someone, anyone, go ban all books on quotes.

Didn't Disney pay codeweavers a bunch of money to make photoshop work well under wine?
If you can't make the fucking effort to go read the article and follow the links, why should we do it for you?
Wait - emergency patch? Not tested? It can fail?

Isn't that the message coming from Seagate?

Atoms are just another version of the P3, afaik.
Silly person. That's why we have Vista, to take up the other cores. Haven't you heard? What Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away?
Yeah, but yours is just a duplex issue, been known about for years, and easily fixed.
That's because you're not transferring data between yourself and another thread.
Another moron who flunked math and reading

"If you make more money, you have to pay extra taxes on the additional money you make"
Took the 5 year old a bit to understand that. The 9 year old caught it immediately.
Happy now?

Look at what's happening across the world:

I got you beat man.

So, when has families of Arab people been hijacking planes?

What a Fucking Moron.
OK, damn, one of the few times I wished for mod points :)
