I'm glad you came up with this insightful and UNIQUE contribution to this story. You know, instead of DISCUSSING the SUBJECT MATTER, you bitch about the writeup. No one else brought this to our attention, and I'm now sure that Ramanujan can finally rest.
Do you *ACTUALLY* think that the partition layout has anything to do with actual bits of oxide on the platter? Seriously, now. When you 'partition' your disk, all you're doing is setting up a logical structure that the OS can interact with, it has absolutely nothing to do with the physical disk. The controller decides where to put bits on the disk, nothing else.
You must be a professional Windows administrator. And by professional, I mean you have a pirated WinXP box at home. If you don't see problems, then obviously NO ONE else would see problems... You know, because you're a professional and you know what you're talking about.
Point the second: The atkins diet has been used for ages to control seizures by reducing the amount of glycogen in the brain. It just wasn't called that.
Who says it's not a fad diet? I don't believe these seizure victims were as interested in losing weight as they were stopping seizures. I don't see where you could assert your statement given the evidence you presented.
What 'bare metal' was the author actually banging on? Seems to me he was just banging on a DOS GPIB device driver. Not much different than this Linux GPIB device driver.
Do you get made fun of a lot in school? You've got a hell of a lot of animosity towards people who are causing you no harm at all.
Hey man, just cause you're not as cool as the Linux guys who smoke pot and cut class doesn't mean that you have to take it out on them. Go back and play with LDA^H^H^H Active Directory and reboot your server a few more times.
Great, hooray for the special ed kids. I'm sure it makes everyone feel all warm and gushy inside to know they're helping the special ed kids who form a very, very, very minute minority.
What about the millons of 'non-special' urban youths who are getting fucked due to NCLB? Have a chat with a public school teacher from Newark, Watts, the Bronx, or Washington DC. Ask them what NCLB has done for their students! Until you do that, it's difficult to realize that you're giving validation to a rather fucked up plan because a very small number of students are being helped by it.
Show me a professor who isn't somehow paid off by the neocons who supports supply side (voodoo) economics and thinks it's responsible fiscal policy. I dare you.
What drives people to do cool things like this, and then run the damn thing under DOS? Is it actually easier to hack on that old OS than Linux or INSERT FAVORITE OS HERE?
Nice logic. Wouldn't more users yield more money, which yields more resources for more servers, therefore reducing the overloaded server issue? Or did someone fuck up their budget?
Did you expect anything less from the same administration that brought you 'let's blow up iraq for its oil' and 'let's ignore those colored folks getting killed in affica because they have no oil'? Please, they started this war to make money, not to have soldiers be able to call home.
Look at the 'antenna' of the new cell phones that don't have the aerial sticking out the top. They look surprisingly like the 'antenna extender' stickers. They're not magic, but yes, it is possible for them to assist in reception.
How does Firefox assign and keep track of memory? Last I checked, it used system calls, which are part of the OS. Hardly something for MSFT to get worried about.
Ever think of working for a Uni? I work for a large (50,000+ enrollment) state university on the east coast, and the work conditions here are exactly what you're looking for. I'm making about $6k less than if I had accepted the entry-level equiv. job on wall street, but I get free tuition and amazing benefits. Except for the odd emergency (Less than 4-5 a year), I pull a 38.5 hour work week, with overtime being reimbursed with my choice of paid time off or $$.
Might be worth checking out the local Universities. They tend to take more chances on hiring 'non-traditional' staff.
As an added bonus, if you're working for the state, it's almost impossible to get fired!
Please, for the love of god, if you're not going to back your array up, MAKE SURE IT HAS SOME SORT OF REDUNDANCY! Merely striping the data is going to get you really pissed off when a disk fails. Note I said when, not if. I replace hard drives in our NetApps at work with frightening regularity. I no longer trust hard drives.
Alarms go off in a web browser when a certificate is not signed by a 'trusted' CA. This has nothing to do with encryption or anything else. If the site's cert, whether the data is encrypted in plaintext or quantum bits, is not blessed (signed by Thawte or whomever), user gets the Scary Box.

Alps is some sort of dog food, you idiot. You obviously have no concept of geogramaphy.
Who wants to see TV shows about Wallabys and Kangaroos?
Parent is correct, here. Most of the money for network infrastructure and bandwidth, at a public institution, comes from grants.

No, you're wrong. That's never appropriate.
Two more words:
Not anymore.
Hey, I didn't vote for the idiot.

Yes. And the people who talk like that are morons.

When one drinks the koolaid, these things make a lot more sense.

PACKAGING? Great! Now I get to pay for the privledge of filling the landfills with useless shit!

That the neocons are big fans of the free market.
