As someone who tested drivers with it: OK through about 3.2 then it started to decline. Faster decline around 3.4 3.7 - Who needs NFS anyway? Took until 3.9 to fix that
I have punch cards on my desk at work so I can remember back to a time when computers and software worked reliably. Why read the holes if the keypunch machine printed the characters above the columns?
I also have the heads and voice coil from a 185MB CDC removable disk drive (approx 15" long) in case I have to smack some young whippersnapper upside the head!
There were stories that the CEO of Enron, Ken Lay called the Whitehouse after things collapsed. His call was not taken. Just a few years before he was Uncle Kenny at the BBQs in Crawford, TX. Probably be about the same here.
With two drives you can set up a backup scenario. Put the second drive in an external enclosure and use robocopy on a regular basis. Most data loss is from user error. RAID 0 won't protect you from that. Screw FAT32 and use NTFS. If you need to access it in an emrgency put the drive in an external enclosure.
The ASR 33 terminal in the article was 110 baud. If it's all you have you at the time you deal with it. I just hit the preview button. Considering the number of characters I had typed and the time it took to preview that was about 110 baud. So what has all this new stuff gained for us?
Raise your hand if you've never eaten at a McDonalds or drank a Coke before.
I haven't had McDonalds in 16 years after a bad experience. A couple times I've been with a group and everyone wanted to go to McDonalds. In the past I said I haven't been there in like 8 years and they were easily swayed to go elsewhere.
I started on a very, very cool tech R&D project in April at the age of 50. It's one of those things that is so involved that when anyone starts working there their brain swells up for the first month as it is filled up.
I have said many times why couldn't I be like 30 or 40 when my brain worked better and come across something like this?
I make up for the slowly decreasing short term storage by making a lot of notes. Make short term notes for what you are doing now. Then after the rush is over take a few minutes to flesh them out a little in case you have to do it again in a month and have forgotten what you did. It's not unmanly to make notes if it helps you kick the young whippersnapper's butts.
Don't multi-task as many things at once. This helps even the young. I used to work on six systems at a time. Now I do like two and get them right. If you're going to do things over and over take the time to script and automate if there is a ROI. Share the scripts, etc. with others to help save everyone time.
I draw on my 29 years of professional technical experience. I use the professional maturity gained over the years to spend an appropriate amount of time carefully crafting an important email or document. It ends up saving time in the long run.
Over the years you learn what works in business and what doesn't. Tech knowledge is important but learning how people and business works is important too.
I use my 29 years of IT experience in so many different things to my advantage. Last week I reduced a problem down to system tuning. I used those old skills and made a lot of people happy. In the old days system tuning was a way of life. Younger people who haven't dealt with low horsepower and don't do know things like that.
Use your experience with people and maturity gained over the years. I've got a deck of punch cards of assembly code on my desk to remind me how good I've been over the years. Today people can hardly imagine using assembly much less reading a dump. Might just have to do some of assembly in the future to get stuff to run faster.
From what I remember the way Tivo series 2 works with the broadcast flag is that it will record it but you can't use Tivo2go to transfer the recording to your computer.
You can watch it on the Tivo all you want but that is all you can do with it. If you look at the information about a program recorded with the broadcast flag it should tell you that.
I believe I recorded a show with a broadcast flag a long time ago and it said that. Guess I'll have to record one of these shows just to double check.
Not sure what the Tivo series 3 and Tivo HD do with it. Should be the same.
You are supposed to punch a sequence number into the last six columns. If you dropped it you ran it through a card sorting machine. Sounds like you would have to use more than 6 columns for this amount of data.
My father help design the DC lines from the Northwest to California. One of the big problems they had was that due to the distance the 60 cycle AC would be out of phase even at the speed of light.
Since you want to use free software it might be to save money along with your principles of avoiding M$. Quality may suffer a bit but you can use a DV camcorder (which you could probably borrow) that has analog to digital conversion for the DV bridge mentioned earlier. Hook the VCR analog video to the camcorder. Hopefully you can use S-Video instead of composite. Then firewire from the camcorder to the PC firewire.
This makes it just like a DV camcorder capture which is rather straight forward. No TV capture cards, etc. Let the camcorder do the analog to digital conversion like it is designed to do. Once captured compress using your favorite codec.
It's interesting that Dell doesn't sell XP on the low end machines but it's still available on the mid and high end. Their consumer calls go to India and business calls don't. Are they turning the home users into a large beta test group using the cheaper support resources?
They also have a laptop for $499 which they haven't had in quite a while. It's only available with Vista. Maybe M$ is giving it away (or almost giving it away) to Dell to infect the market?
A quick check of the HP site doesn't seem to have any XP options even on the high end.
They seemed to have kept the Nike+ipod secret until it was released. Didn't even hear any rumors until it was released. The iphone was pretty much a given that someday they would try to make up for the Rokr.
Two large companies like Apple and Nike joining forces (think stock prices) seems like something that people would have wanted to know about.
I'm not a Mac fanboi but I can appreciate them. With the iphone I know a good thing when I see it. If someone thinks the iphone is just another cell phone with a music player they need to go to the Apple web site and go through the whole demo. The interface is way too cool. With OSX underneath it they have a lot of potential for cool things. Plus they can sell you another set of subscriptions for ilife and OSX upgrades.
Macs and the iphone are a bit too expensive for the masses. That isn't their target audience. People have paid a lot to be early adopters of high end cell phones before.

We used to get warnings when a link was a PDF. Thar could be danger thar maties!
Some of us started on paper tape and punch cards. Windows 8, Unity, whatever. It's not going to stay the same forever. Cry me a river!

How many people remember astrotit? Blast those booobs! Condom for a shield!
Same result starting with Audi 25 years ago and many more since then.
Time to start growing my own food to be safe.
During the Vietnam war one of the protest slogans was "War is good business. Invest your son".

I remember it as being 10% of the people (whiners) take up 90% of the support time.
Plus all the molds to make the toys are ready. As Yogurt said in Spaceballs "Merchandising!"
The saying is "If it bleeds, it leads" as in leading story.
