. I recall one meeting where I was being told that a adapting a commercially available battery recharger (for standard rechargable batteries you use every day) for flight aboard the space station (a process often called "flybridizing") would cost $1.5 million. I was not at all pleased to hear this number. This was 1991. I am sure that the cost of making this item flight qualified has not gone down in the past 9 years.
The problem is that alot of these cheap network drives don't have the hard-drives exposed. Some of the ones doing RAID 1 just use a standard IDE controller, too. So you need to remove the system from the rack and take it open it up to get physical access to the drives (unlike, say a Compaq Fibre Array)
I don't know what the case with this particular model is though.
I just had to hot swap a drive and was glad to find out that RAID 5 does indeed work:)
I was just talking about this with a similar product yesterday. It was a disposable rack-mount NFS drive. Of course Raid 5 came up, but we realized the problem is that it's probably not very convienent to hot-swap a drive (where Raid 5 really shines) while the unit is still up and mounted.
Here in the United States there are people who will simply refuse to work for minimum wage. People living below the 'poverty level' have a microwave and cable TV. Some of the contries these workers come from are not so fortunate. Working is not a luxury. Some of them are borderline third world. So what's happening?
We're sending back people who've worked for some of the most cutting edge companies in the world. They've had the opportunity to work with some of the smartest people in the world. It's been stated many times, but the Internet knows no bounds. There's no reason a startup in Silicon Valley couldn't operate out of India.
Hopefully, these people being deported (although I imagine they will experience hard times) will be able to do good things for countries that are not as fortuante as the US. They will be able to start businesses. They will be able to teach at Universities. They will be able to have a serious and fundimental effect on the infrastructure of their countries and help bring them into the 'new economy'. They will be able to raise the standard of living in thier own countries bringing the average person one step closer to what the average US citizen takes for granted.
XML would be the current standard to start with, you'd just need to develop a schema that contains the data you want to share. It'd definately help code repositories.
People seem to think that if we can eliminate the astroid problem, we'll have 5 billion care-free years until the Sun goes nova. But in only 3 billion years our galaxy will collide with Andromeda, and theres a good chance the Solar System won't survive this collision.
I'd just like to ask that everyone out there who plans to transfer their conciousness into indestructable robots to take a moment to think about this, and treat every moment of the 3 billion years they have left preciously.
The RichText Edit control is part of the Operating System. Wordpad (which will read the document) is basically just a wrapper around it, and included in the OS distribution.
And if you want to get into really crazy overclocking, eventually the speed of light plays a factor. At 10 GHz, the electricity can't get further than ~3cm in a clock cycle.
People were yelling about that the first time around, but you can't just say that the LN is colder than Flouronert's freezing point so it will freeze.
For example, the radiator in you car uses air as the coolant. But once your car has been running, the antifreeze's ambient temperature will be higher than the temperature outside on a cold day. If your car was running all the time and kept in a heated garage, you could use straight water in the radiator in sub-zero conditions.
Granted, in this case there was a pretty big difference between the two temperatures, though:)
Slashdot Mirror
just get a dual 850Mhz setup?
It won't help with your Q3A framerate, but it'll be just as good with those high end multi-threaded programs or servers.

You can prove anything on the HoloDecks computer simulations. Then you just tell the computer to do it for real and it works.
You can also go on all kinds of wacky adventures when the writers run out of ideas
So, when you start hitting CTRL+PAGE DOWN, will one monitor shut off while the other instantaneously switches into letterbox mode?

even though it won't be easy for those involved.

A four-bedroom house with a two-stall garage in Bangledesh is about a 1000 times cheaper than one in Silicon Valley.
even better, partners.nytimes.com is working again. A full mirror with no login.
Sounds like a good idea

Don't even most Open Source people agree that taking physical media (CD's, Floppys, CD-ROMs, books, cars, and yes punch tapes) is stealing?
Where exactly does the line get crossed? Someone saw what they wanted and took it. That's just stealing.

We were promised flying cars.

I can't find the link right now, but you've obviously never heard his "dead hooker and that damn midget!" routine.
