Firefox 3 was driving me nuts navigating away from pages while I was typing into a form like this one. I finally figured out what was causing it today.
We had an extended A/C failure in our little server room, with portable units we were running up to 90F ambient or so... We did lose a few more disks during that time than we would have otherwise.
The expected life is not linear with temperature though... if you went from 80 to 81 you might see a lot more failures than someone moving from 70 to 71.
NMA is a lobbying organization, they are supposed to be biased. The study wasn't commissioned or run by them though. All the studies they link to are done by universities and transportation authorities.
If you already tried to resign, accepting counter offers is a pretty bad idea. Sure you could work there for another 6 months or a year, but they will always be trying to replace you.
I also have a complaint response here on my desk (against the "This is your second notice that your warranty has expired" people). Somehow the FCC thinks this clear cut violation of multiple telemarketing laws is somehow not a violation.
They have called my cell phone about 4 or 5 times with their recorded message, ignored the do not call list, and violated the laws on recorded telemarketing even if it were not a cell phone. And yet the FCC somehow says that isn't a violation.
It destroys a larger amount of wealth than it creates, necessarily. The people who the money was stolen from would have spent said money on things that were more valuable to them than the infrastructure was.
The only time wealth can be created is when two people mutually agree to exchange consideration. Unilateral economic actions always lead to reduced wealth.
When you steal from one person to give to another person, nothing is created, it's only destroyed. So no, jobs won't be created, wealth will simply be redistributed.
They could, but that's not why they sell hardware. Hardware to Apple is only a glorified copy protection dongle. They make it shiney and metal and the fucktard Apple users eat it up.

Unless you have amazing ventilation, 100F ambient is going to mean up to 140F inside the cases. You'll cook your chips.
Not any more.
Instead, the answer is to use a proper small database like sqllite for application registries
Yeah, linux should totally put in a Windows style registry. What the fuck is this guy on.
None of those things are happening today. There's no net neutrality today. Where do you people come up with this stuff?

Yes it is the auto warranty brokers. They are spoofing caller ID anyway apparently, so it won't help you too much.

500,000 Apple users with a bad case of cognitive dissonance doesn't change 30 years of UI research and development.

CSV is fine.

don't believe this is correct. If you explicitly and validly release a copyrighted work into public domain, then it leaves your control permanently.
This is not a settled legal question, and may vary from country to country.
Go look at wikipedia's PD template, it says "in case this is not possible", for this reason.
"That stuff'll ruin your ambition."
"Not when your ambition is to get high and watch TV."
It's important to note that this sort of collision is not taking advantage of any of the known weaknesses in MD5, rather it's brute force.
This is just to head off the inevitable screaming of "MD5 is broken for everything anyway!!!".

The NYTimes ran a story this week about a group of scientists who have built a neonatal incubator out of automobile parts
I think you have scientist confused with engineer.
At least the Windows PE format will be well documented 10,000 years from now, when they discover massive deposits of AOL disks all over the world.
Except that all orbits decay without station keeping. Geostationary should last a pretty long time though, or maybe in orbit around the moon.
Because college is the only way to learn something, right?
As if they aren't taxing the hell out of electricity too. I'd be surprised if watt-for-watt the taxes on electricity aren't higher.
