My view on subscriptions

On: Specs of Salons Subscription System

I don't think I'd subscribe to any site. Some studies(sorry, no link) have shown that people will do without or stop visiting a site rather than pay anything.
You know, I don't own a credit card. I'm not going to mail a money order(no checking account either) which costs 5$ CDN across the border. I honestly think I can do without. Sure I hate advertising, and I see it is getting worse. I could care less about one little ad on /., and I even click on them because I'm curious, but I get cranky when a news site spawns two windows that are tricky to close(Using IE).

I think all hard disks are thermal re-calibrated. That is when you record video on a normal hard drive, you get skipped frames...
AV drives can sense that a continuous transfer is going on so they don't re-calibrate during the write.

Mindcraft would release skewed results with the Windoze machine being optimized and the Mac running 50 extensions.

Didn't you all hear about what Mindcraft did with the Windoze NT vs Linux test?

Ah. Maybe you *were* being sarcastic.
