What I'm curious about is how gracefully the browser fails if the cloud ever fails. Oh, silly me! The cloud NEVER fails! EC2 has five 9's uptime, doesn't it?
I think an argon gas mixture is what the Declaration of Independence is stored in at the National Archives. No idea if it would also help with magnetic media.
Myself, I just bought a 3 TB external drive, my plan is to build a Hackintosh with 3 TB internal RAID that uses Time Machine to back up to external media, I'll then alternate two or three 3 TB drives. An 18 megapixel camera shooting RAW + JPEG and then adding Photoshop layers can eat up a lot of space. I'll probably convert the original RAWs to DNGs and hope for the best.
I really liked the Photonic Inductions video of erasing a CD using extreme high voltage, I always wondered if the same technique would apply to hard drive platters
Yeah, I wouldn't think a home oven would be high enough. I say take the platters out of the drive and use a belt sander or grinder and just strip off the oxide.
Aren't MRI fields constant? Just going in to proximity of the machine would rip the drives out of your hands and glue them to the machine. It takes hours, if not days, for them to fully spin up or shut down the magnetic field.
sudo Mod You Up. I can't find the article, but the amount of CFCs in inhalers is purely negligible compared to natural (and other artificial) sources of CFCs. It's a pure money-grab for certain pharma companies.
What I don't like is my albuterol inhaler had a nice little counter to tell you how many hits you'd taken, my new ones don't.
I read the OP title as the open source community investing in HP, which I don't think is going to happen. HP is doomed, I don't think they'll be much more than a memory in 10 years.
My likelihood of buying a Sony product is pretty much zero. I sold their electronics for a few years and overall it was overrated crap. I have a vague interest in a couple of their MMO's, but I'm just not going to bother with them. I'll never own a Play Station because of structural difficulties of my right hand making console game controls painful to use. Using your food analogy, unless you buy 100% organic and never eat in restaurants, you're supporting Monsanto at some level, and they are pretty high up on the evil food pyramid along with ADM.
A certain amount of evil in your life is unavoidable if you live a modern lifestyle. Sony/EA aren't going to miss my dollars because they weren't going to get them in the first place, my post was meant as humor. And you're absolutely right, writing to my congresscritter would be much more effective, it's something that I really should do on a more regular basis. I actually got to insult one of my congresscritters to his face, that was a very fun day at work!
They didn't when I took a polygraph to work for the police department. But that was also 20 years ago.
The thing that's scary is people are going to think these things are infallible when they say only 2/3rds of the time. This thing is garbage, they've discovered a casual relationship.
Funny story about being on immune globin infusions for the rest of my life. When I was in the process of initial diagnosis for hypogammaglobulinemia, or common variable immune deficiency, one potential cause of my immune problem was cancer of my spleen. I'd just had pneumonia four times in five months and my lymphatic system was working overtime to clean itself, thus I had an enlarged spleen. Had I had that form of cancer, assuming it hadn't spread, removing my spleen might have resolved my CVID and I wouldn't need IgG infusions.
It's kind of odd hoping for cancer. 4 needles in your abdomen for about 2 hours twice a week isn't a heck of a lot of fun. In fact, I'll be infusing later tonight, I'm coming up on my 200th infusion. Which is not to say that having advanced stage cancer is a lot of fun, both of my in-laws died of cancer and I've lost several friends and relatives from it.
My wife works at a 3.5 meter telescope. Whenever the mirror (around 3 tons) is lifted out of the mirror cell (the telescope base), her boss, the guy pretty much in charge of the telescope, stands beneath it. His rationale: if the mirror drops, he doesn't want to live to see it.
There was one recently installed at the Border Patrol station on US 70 east-bound between Las Cruces and Alamogordo, NM, went in within the last couple of months or so. I didn't see one at the one on west-bound I-10 between Las Cruces and Demming, though.
The very first time that I flew since those scanners went online, El Paso -> Reagan National, I was selected for it. As I already have an immunological disorder which represents genetic damage, I opted out and had to be groped. At Reagan flying home, sailed right through: no scan, no pat-down, just the magnetometer.
Funny, I had almost the exact same experience. A married couple invited us to a Mensa party (at least my friend and I went in eyes-open). Biggest bunch of idiots that I've ever met.
If I were a Kiwi I'd locate all the government officials that I could and download some really horrible music off their WiFi, stuff that'd cause a lot of laughs if the list were released in public. How can they expect average people to actively monitor their internet connection?

So say we all.
Using a non-admin account for your day-to-day use would help a bit.

I want my inhaler propellants to be helium, that would be awesome! Of course, we're not really making any new helium, so that might be a problem.

If he was indeed a Nazi SS cat, then THEIR GENETICS PROGRAMS WORKED! That cat is like 70 years old!
I barely get 1 meg downstream. The disadvantage living in a national forest at 9000'.
My dad's house, however, they just got their cable ends re-done by Cox and now get 10-16.

YES! I would instantly buy a PPV package to watch this!
Age 64. 64 squares on a chess board. Coincidence? I don't think so.
I think Michael Bay would be a bigger threat.

I wonder if there's a chemically-neutral high-density plastic that would react to these vans....
