blade servers are VERY hot, at least compared to the density. A full rack of blades is nearly impossible, you simply can't cool the rack enough to run it. (most vendors don't tell you this, although IBM recently started admitting that fact)
Have you ever tried running apache on windows? First of all it isn't even CLOSE to being an enterprise class web server, and even for a hobbiest running off a cable modem it barely makes it. That is just a bad combination, unfortunately.
unless recovered by a professional? It takes all of 2 minutes to make a boot disk with atapwd and reset it. Besides, the reason no virus does this is because it needs an operational machine. If you lock out the drive you aren't going to spread yourself very far.
Here is a website that shows how to unlock it, and you don't even have to be a professional!
external battery packs are fairly pricy, if you are cheap like myself, check the voltage rating of laptop. My trusty old toshiba 700 mhz cele runs on a nice 18 volts, which works out to 3 6v sealed UPS type cells. They fit in my travel bag nicely and give incredible runtime! the best part is the cost, it was a grand total of $23 for the setup!
yeah, airport security sometimes look at you when you have a battery pack you soldered together yourself, but no one has stopped me yet.
the government does NOT recycle them! There are only around a billion possible #'s though, so at some point they will have to be recycled. (SSN's are assigned randomly or sequentially, some of the digits mean something.)
How SSN's work
yet another thing your typical slashdotter doesn't get. The general public DOESN'T CARE!! The TSA is doing 'a good thing', they are protecting us from all those nasty terrorists, and if you have a problem with what they are doing, what are you trying to hide?
mildly sweet, but what I want is a true dual proc with different types. (both running concurrently) the OS then could be smart enough to route certain tasks to whichever processor excels in that area, making for one VERY quick machine.
i just spent a couple months on an interview committee for a MS systems admin. we had one saying, skills can be taught, soft skills can't. If you give a good interview and conduct yourself well, demonstrating excellent intrapersonal skills, it will go a LONG ways to cover any inadequicies in your computer skills.
ok, nothing annoys me more then someone renaming a technology, and then everyone jumping on the bandwagon of this new and great thing! it is called a webcast. as in broadcast combined with the web. there is no (i)pod in this stream whatsoever...
guess you haven't pulled apart a PS lately? all 12v lines connect to the same spot, they are soldered into the exact same glob of solder...
so it doesn't really matter if you use a splitter or put them all on seperate lines. hard drives don't draw enough amps for the wiresize to be a concern either.
a couple of regex's on a perl command line string could clean your entire codebase of comments in a couple seconds, well maybe a minute or two for MS code, but anyway, that isn't much of an excuse!!
generally the electricity isn't going to come out of the IT budget anyway, and you probably won't be recognized for cost savings if you write up a nice proggy to automatically put your computers to sleep at a certain time, so why bother on that one...
Instead, do what businesses themselves do. diversify! If your IT department is only responsible for maintaining a users desktop, then develop an interactive web based help system that goes towards that purpose. Now your it department also has programmers, and your mission is expanded (and hopefully your budget will follow!)
just because it is in orbit doesn't mean you can get to it. case in point columbia couldn't have gotten to the iss if it wanted to. fuel and time are the two biggest constraints, lack of either and you are done.
Remember the Web browser war? Way back in the mists of time -- Internet-wise, at least -- there was a battle between a tiny startup company with a piece of software for browsing the Web (Netscape) and a giant software company with a reputation for playing hardball (Microsoft). The software giant won the war, and Internet Explorer now has about 90 per cent of the market for Web browsers.
The story doesn't end there, however. Microsoft's browser won, but along the way it also became a magnet for every advertising popup maker and malicious hacker in the known universe (much like the Windows operating system). For many computer users, Internet Explorer is now so cluttered with spy-ware, advertising-ware, toolbars, popups and home-page hijackers that it has become virtually unusable. But what can anyone do about it?
The good news is that there are solutions for frustrated Internet Explorer users, and one of the most popular is a distant cousin of Netscape. The original company was bought by America Online and its Web browser gradually faded into irrelevance, but a group of programmers took the guts of Netscape and created a new browsing "engine" called Gecko, one that was developed in a co-operative fashion along with the "open-source" software community. That engine forms the basis for a new browser called Firefox, which is free for Windows and Mac users.
One of the best things about this approach is that Firefox doesn't suffer from any of the annoying pop-ups and malware that make using Internet Explorer such a pain. Since the browser uses completely different software, none of the usual tools that hackers have used to infiltrate Internet Explorer work with Firefox. Although this might change as the browser becomes more popular, the open-source nature of the project means that fixes will likely be easier to make and will also be available much faster.
Firefox has a number of features that make it obvious how little Internet Explorer has changed over the past several years. One of the most popular is the use of "tabs," which allow a user to open multiple pages within the same window. You can set Firefox so that when you click on a link it opens that link in a new tab, and the tabs you have open are grouped together in a tab toolbar at the top of your browser window. You can store a group of tabs and open them all when you load Firefox.
Other alternative browsers, such as Opera, have this feature, too, but they don't share one other thing Firefox has going for it -- its adaptability. One benefit of the open-source format is that any programmer who wants to can write a bit of software called an "extension," which adds features to the browser. There are hundreds of these extensions listed already at Firefox's home page (http://getfirefox.com), including everything from a plug-in that lets you play music from your browser toolbar to one that lets you search an on-line dictionary by clicking on a word.
Firefox isn't perfect. It still has some bugs, which isn't surprising considering it only recently came out of "beta" or testing mode. It also can't do much with pages that require features only Internet Explorer has, such as the ability to run Active-X programs. These features are part of the reason IE is so riddled with malware, but they also allow it to interact with certain websites. Until Firefox finds a way around that, you might have to keep Internet Explorer around -- just for emergencies, of course.
ok, it's a theory, I think most of slashdot agrees on that one. now do we need warning stickers on every text book that contains a theory! science books would take on an entire new meaning. half the pages would contain the stickers for the remaining half of the book, containing the forbidden 'theories'
it has been mentioned and it is obviously required that the laser track the cockpit. exactly how has the technology to track the COCKPIT of an airliner moving 200+mph. (pilots mention a constant laser light for 10+ seconds)
tracking the plane is one thing, and even that is tough to do if you are talking laser accuracy, but the cockpit? also, this has to be done several miles out, since the cockpit windows don't have much downward view anyway.
outside of military technology, are there any commercial systems that could even do this?

no sveasoft is still gpl, as it is based on lots of gpl packages. he just doesn't want to play by the gpl.

how about amendment 5 and 6? those have been pretty much tossed out already by bush and company. (gitmo and joseph padilla ring a bell?)

haha, now why would you think that!? (in all actually I gave up my amiga long ago, and just haven't given up the username.)

according to this, only a small number of states have inspections, 19 to be exact. certainly not up to being stated as 'most'

verizon vg 4400 with extended battery. a week of normal use is no problem, i've gotten 10 days+ with minimal use.

maybe you forgot they do NOT need a warrant to search a vehicle, only probable cause. (i'm guessing the same applies to your person.)
great, now i can take off my tin foil hat because I'm going to have to cover my entire vehicle in tinfoil!!
