This tells you very little about the relative performance of the drives since image processing is typically not disk bound.
Actually, the author of the article made it disk bound, by forcing Photoshop to go into swap space with an image much larger than the available memory. And you missed the HD testing pictures, measuring high throughput (sp?) and unbelievable low latency.
...some think it's actually a star that just wasn't big enough to have it's own mass crush it's innards to the point where nuclear fusion occurs and the star is born
For nuclear fusion to start you need about 80 times the mass of Jupiter. (and that would be a really really tiny star. Our one is about 1000 times jupiter, and it's only average).
Look at a star with a good telescope, and note its position with respect to the nearby stars. Now look at the same star 6 months after. If the star you selected is near, it will have moved by a measurable amount (but fairly small). This is because the Earth is now 300 million km away from the previous position. The movement of the star is called its "parallax". Repeat with other stars, and you can literally draw the Earth orbit.
Prove neutrons exist.
Neutrons do not exist. They are a good model to predict the behaviour of chemistry and atomic bombs, and a bunch of other things. The "God exists" model has the same theoretical validity, if you can make *predictions* out of it. The model that makes the bigger amount of correct predictions wins.
Prove NASA *didn't* fake the moon landings.
I got the photos. A photo is generally accepted in court, unless shown to be a fake. No one ever made a good argument that the moon landing photos are fake. Now have the non-believer prove that NASA faked the moon landing. He won't be able to do that.
Prove computers work by electricity, and not magic.
You need first to define electricity. If you agree on a definition like "something that gives you shock", demonstrate how a computer works only when the main switch is on. Now have the non-believer hold the wires in his hands while you turn the switch on and off...
Now, tell me again about proving religious beliefs.
Simple, they say all the time that God, Allah, Zeus and Skywalker can make miracles. Show me one and I'm convinced. Heck, show a good scientist an evident, genuine miracle and he will embrace the "god" theory in an instant.
I detest MDI apps and refuse to use them. I tried the Opera demo version years ago and upon seeing the MDI user interface, I promptly quit and erased Opera from my hard drive. Likewise StarOffice 5.2, or whatever their last MDI version was.
Granted. But remember that your point of view is not necessarily the one of the rest of the world. I love MDI/tabbed browsers like Opera and Mozilla, and I absolutely hate Office2000 for *removing* the MDI support (without any option, fuck them!)
The real problem with Opera is that no one, and I mean no one wants to actually pay for a web browser. The only people I know who use Opera are using a cracked copy.
I paid an Opera license back in the 3.xx version. Now i downloaded the 6.03 version, but my registration codes work no more. At least I don't feel guilty downloading the crack:-)
For example flipdog.com, a really cool jobsearch tool, doesn't support mozilla/netscape's browser and because they have faulty code from an old version of dreamweaver (so turning it in to bugzilla doesn't work) mozilla won't work (ironically it's only two lines of javascript that need to be changed!).
You can use a filtering proxy to change those javascript lines on the fly. On Windows, the Proxomitron is really good. It's mainly an ad-removing proxy, but can search&replace for any string you want inside html pages.
Each year, more petroleum seeps up from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico into the world's oceans than in every human-caused oil spill in history combined.
There are entire ecosystems near these oil seeps whose primary source of energy is not solar photosynthesis, but breaking down petroleum and natural gas.
Great, this is really interesting. Do you have some URLs for that?
While they are rebuffed by scientists - does that make these things "fake" or non-science?
This is a very easy question: if it follows the scientific method, it's science. Otherwise, it's something different (if it's better or worse it's an entirely different question).
MSIE 6 image autoresizing, and the small floating toolbar above images to save, e-mail to someone else, resize, etc. This has allowed me to make MSIE my primary image *viewer* instead of Photoshop which takes insanely longer to load. For editing of course, I still use PS or PSP, but I don't have to load 300+ plugins to look at the latest picture of some computer hardware, a digital pic from my friend, or other stuff.
There's no point in running either PSP or a full IE browser window just to look at an image. Try out IrfanView, a little but really good freeware app. It reads more or less every image format on the planet, it's blazing fast and have some edit capabilities.
I don't have any hard numbers, but being an avid bicyclist, I would imagine that a bicycle at 14mph could stop in 15 feet, and possibly less.
I use my bicycle often, and abuse its brakes even more. Any bike with good brakes can stop from 14mph in less than 10 feet, I usually do it in 6-7 feets, ending upward on the front wheel. (ALWAYS use the front wheel brake, the rear one is useless).
Your statement is a lie. The September 1997 issue of the Lancet published a metastudy which summarised 89 double-blind trials of homeopathic medicine and concluded that it was not possible to dismiss the results as chance.
If you reference an article, you should read it. Some quotes from that 1997 study:
"The results of our meta-analysis are not compatible with the hypothesis that the clinical effects of homeopathy are completely due to placebo. However, we found insufficient evidence from these studies that homeopathy is clearly efficacious for any single clinical condition."
"Our study has no major implications for clinical practice because we found little evidence of effectiveness of any single homeopathic approach on any single clinical condition."
Not exactly the homeopathic confirm that you make it appear.

I found that Watt numbers on the power supply are quite a bit more than the real consumption. The number is the maximum allowed, and is reached only during start-up, if ever.
To make an example, I admin a small Linux cluster with 6 PCs. Each of them is a 1.3 Ghz Thunderbird, with 1.5 gigs of PC133 RAM, an average HD, and a 300W power supply. Most of the time the processors are at 100% load. All 6 machines are powered with a 2000 VA UPS. An UPS like that is capable of delivering around 1600 Watts, but the load indicator never surpassed the mid level. So I would say that 150 Watts are more than enough for an average PC to operate. The 300-400 watts are for booting the things and spinning the drives up.

It still doesn't work. I searched for my name and I find myself 2nd.
With google, I am 1st.
Well, it's clear which is bringing more justice to the world.

For nuclear fusion to start you need about 80 times the mass of Jupiter. (and that would be a really really tiny star. Our one is about 1000 times jupiter, and it's only average).
The moon is about 1/4 of Earth's diameter, but only 1/81 of its mass (in other words, it's really a huge moon for our planet).
In an absolute sense, it's quite big: its size is similar to that of the biggest Jupiter satellites (Io, Europa, Ganimede, Callisto).
In the solar systems, there are over 50 moons, and our Moon is in the top 5 or so.
Personally I wouldnt mind having say a one cubic metres big box somewhere hidden in my room
Dude, your bedroom must be bigger than an airport hangar!

Grande and Venti are Italian words:
grande = large, big
venti = twenty (20)
Train - 12 hours, 25 bux.
Auto - 4:30 hours, 25-40 bux in gas.
Trains must have some serious problem in the US. Here's some stats from EU:
short trip (300km), high-speed train:
Train - 1 hour 30 minutes
Car - 3 hours
longer trip (800km), normal train
Train - 7/8 hours
Car - 8 hours (including stops, etc)

An EU directive is not effective in a member state, until that state makes it a local law. Thus the European DMCA is not effective yet.

Great, this is really interesting. Do you have some URLs for that?
You find dozons of pages [google.com] about it on the web.
Let's see:
Google answer: Results 1 - 10 of about 388.
So we have
1 dozon = 388
since 100/12 = 8,3333
1 hundrod = 388*8,3333 = 3,233
1 thousond = 32,330
1 million = 32,330,000
I think this is a very interesting math discovery. Entire industries could grow on this. I'm heading to the patent office...

Actually, my mp3 collection is still intact, so no one is stealing anything. Looking at the bandwith monitor I see that there's a lot of copying.
