Maxtor has similar plans with their MaxLine II P + SATA Drives. Not quite as impressive as WD promises, 7200 Max RPM, 3 year warantee, but a claimed MTBF that is as high as their SCSI line.
MaxLine II should be less vapor than the WD offering at least, they had planned to have it out 1Q 2003, but it seems they are still hard to find. Some places are accepting orders, however.
Come on man. In 1992 you might have said "Who would ever need more than 16 MB of RAM on the desktop?!?!" (Back then, 4MB was high end) It would have been just as short sighted then as now.
I don't know what the Powerbook's battery terminals are like, but I suspect it'd be inconvenient to hook up to.
If it's Lithium Ion, better be careful charging it. They can and will explode if not used with a proper charger setup. Other types of battery are much more tolerant of dumb chargers.
And a pretty large capacitor if they really need DC. The output from a diode bridge looks more like a McDonalds logo than DC power. Of course, the batteries might be capable of using the pulsed DC directly, and the battery itself would tend to smooth out the power as long as the battery was in circuit.
If you look at the thousands of MS or IBM patents, you'd see why. Most of the time, these companies get away with this stuff. It's only by Bill's grace that he doesn't use the MS patent portfolio in an offensive way, but it's always there, their ace in the hole.
You can usually also be jailed for small amounts if it isn't your first offense.
Also, small amounts is a relative term. I regularly keep three one pound bags of tobacco for rolling cigarettes for personal use. Lasts me about a month or two.
However, the threshold in most areas for being considered a drug dealer is 1/2 ounce of MJ or so. If I smoked pot, I'd probably keep at least an ounce around for personal use, much more if I grew it myself for personal use (oops can't grow it, since that is "manufacturing")...
So yeah, I agree, generally you can do lots of jail time for pot, even if you are just a normal user.
I guess. I work at a printing company, all our digital stuff is generally 300dpi, with 150lpi line screen.
I can't say I've ever tried to output a proof at 100dpi to compare, I just though it would be noticably degraded. Hey, if your customers are happy with it, that's pretty much all that matters.
I suggested here that we ditch pantone special colors in favor of hexachrome and see how many customers would actually notice. I bet it wouldn't be many.:)
I tried to install freenet, but it was written in Java, and hence was total crap and wouldn't even run. Something about a CLASSPATH that would have taken me hours to research and fix. I just ran something else instead.
I hear rdiff-backup is good, but I still mainly use rsync with the incremental rsync type scripts that use hardlinks for versioning. We use it here to backup over 2TB of data over a 512kbit link. Since you never need to do a "full" backup, the bandwidth is plenty.
the problem is that most people don't really care, and don't have any idea what so ever what w3c is, and why their rules should be followed.. no browser will take IE's place untill that happens (or untill microsoft corp. drops dead)
Yeah, which is why so many ecommerce sites use ActiveX and VBScripted web pages, right??? (In fact, I can't name even one major site that uses MS only proprietary web stuff).
On a related funny note, Mozilla was much more stable than IE6 when I was attempting to file my taxes on the web through TurboTax's site. IE also rendered a lot of stuff badly that Moz handled. That site is one of the most complex sites I have ever used.
Slashdot Mirror
Two words: Protected Wetlands.
The desert idea would work, but anything marshy is likely to fall under lefty liberal big brother control.
Except that a lot of the reply-tos are fake, and the links point to shared hosting sites that many other people use.
This idea has been hashed over many many times, the conclusion almost always it that there is too much collateral damage.
yes
I agree with your intent, but your argument is dangerously flawed.
One could use the same argument to say that no one should run anything but IE.
Cmon people, if you want to look at a web site that was done with CSS, has flash, etc., then RUN IE

OHHHH Shock And Awe...
Man, All this time I was wondering why this Shockinaw Indian tribe was such a good fighter, and why I hadn't heard of them before.

Wanna party like it's 1993? Just: Use mozilla
But can it insert "Under Construction" signs on every page, and reformat every page to use way too many frames??
Maybe spam is useful after all. Wow.
To whomever you know who actually asked the "If Saddam is fair, is Bush?"
It was asked of Ari Fleischer at a recent news conference.
Is that a fetus on your head, or are you just happy to see me? ;)
I just wonder why no one wanted to ask these hard questions when the "War on terrorism" or the "war on drugs" started.
Stuff like I have heard asked today:
"What is the benchmark for success in this war?"
"If Saddam is a fair target, is Bush also a fair target?"
etc...
What the fuck is an mpa file?
If the New World Order doesn't come in plain ASCII or HTML, count me out.

Then you better tell that to all the employers that still put a practical value on a university degree.

I've blown 6MP images up to 20"x30". They look great.
Really? That's only 100 dpi.
Yeah, but the question is, when will all the idiotic universities figure that out?
