I don't think this would work as a RAID for power reasons. Unless some new battery technology really takes off... how could this be viable? I couldn't imagine if both drives were used at the same time. My laptop is normally plugged in (that's when I use the 2nd HD). But unplugged... it would be a nightmare.
Do you have any evidence to support this? Here ( http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/~mahesri/research/PACS_pa per.pdf) is a fairly thorough paper with the breakdown of laptop component power consumption, and the HDD rarely breaks 5% of total battery consumption. I would gladly double that hit to prevent losing everything in the middle of a two week business excursion.
I don't care much for the smiles and congratulations.... they're few and far between anyway, and then what are they going to say? "Thank you for keeping the network up, like it should be anyway"?
As far as I'm concerned, nobody knows I exist until the network goes down - then they all start to care.
Then you should find a new place to work. I've been an IT manager almost as long as I've been a tech and if anyone who works for me can honestly make that statement, then I'm not doing my job. Good people take pride in their work - it's often the only thing keeping them here - and many times the only thing I can do as a manager is to acknowledge their excellence. If you truly believe that no-one (who matters) knows you exist until there's a problem, then your manager is not marketing you to the rest of the company. Yes, shit rolls downhill, but so should adulation for your expertise. If you're not seeing it, your manager is likely taking credit for all of your success.
No, it's more like the poultry farmer who slaughters his ducks by sending them walking out into the minefield he planted next to his neighbor's house. The neighbor collects the choice bits that land on his porch and gets arrested for theft.
If you need to play it on another device, other then an iPod. Then burn a CD and rip the same CD and then you have a MP3 that you can use on any device. Yea gee you had to go through a few more steps but big deal!
A few more steps which a) take time - a significant expense depending on the speed and quality of your machine b) wastes resources - CDs are cheap, but they still aren't free. One of my biggest reasons for buying an iPod was so I didn't have to deal with CDs anymore. c) degrades quality - the conversion from m4p to wave to mp3 is NOT a lossless conversion, and can be exacerbated by poor quality codecs. d) is completely freakin' unnecessary.
I bought my iPod for use with an iFit workout program. I bought one album from iTunes and I will never buy anything from iTunes again because of the unbelievable hassle it was to get that song into the workout program.
Except that technically, unless your name is "SEE ID", merchants are not allowed to accept your credit card. On every card I've ever seen, it clearly states "Not valid unless signed."
Might be a good time for help desk personal to pencil in a week (or two) of vacation.
You may think that's funny, but I used to work with a guy who was in charge of physical security and badge access for office moves. Every time there was a major office move he would schedule vacation the day it started, leaving all his unprepared underlings to deal with the mess. Hilarity ensued. His sister was married to a big muckety-muck in the company so he got by with it - at least, until the divorce.
Maybe smokers who want to avoid taxes should grow their own tobacco?
Here, here! That's worked out quite nicely for me avoiding all those nasty marijuna taxes. Now if I can only figure out how to keep my Coca plants from wilting...
So, what are you now, 13? You drive around the city following "bad drivers" and then waste expensive and scarce metropolitan resources by calling the 911 EMERGENCY number just so you can get you jollies at watching them get pulled over? THAT is bordering on criminal.
And just exactly what do you tell the police that would make them actually respond to a call like this? Believe me, they aren't going to send out a squad because you tell them you think someone's a "bad driver." In fact, where I live, they'd probably send a cop to your house and kick your ass just for making that phone call. And where in the hell do you live that the drivers are so bad that it deserves an EMERGENCY response?!? The next time my taxes go up to pay for more cops, I'll know who to thank.
I think people really really like saying "tsunami". Too bad most don't even pronounce it the right way.
Especially some of those pompous NPR reporters who insist on pronouncing everything as if they've momentarily forgotten how to speak English. I heard one of those bone-heads pronouncing it "toon-ami". Sounded like he was talking about a disaster at Bikini Bottom.
Anyone got any idea why they'd have an RSS feed at the bottom of the page? I'm sure there is one, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a practical reason for monitoring the content of a search engine result.

I was actually a little afraid to read the article entitled "Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers". There are just some things I don't want to know about...
Get your butt down to the construction site and run coax, network, and speaker wires to all the rooms of the house from this central location.
I see this mistake all the time. Don't bother running ANYTHING right now. You'll waste a lot of money running fairly expensive cable to rooms that may not ever need it. Instead, put 3/4" conduit and a box to (at least) two locations in every room. Have a home run of 2" PVC going from your attic to your basement and cap it off with fire retardent putty so your house passes inspection. If you get in there at the right time, you can usually get the plumbers to run this for you for cash.
Once you decide what you want in each room, dropping the cable through existing conduit is cake. Fiber, CAT5, coax, speaker wire, whatever.
Right now I use a sacrificial lamb VMWare instance running under Windows to disect viruses or suspected trojan horses. Being able to do that under Wine running on Linux might be quicker and minimize the chance of an unintentional host infection.
Since when does using the same name as someone else constitute identity theft? Maybe the cartoon was sent as Ronald Fitch the author. Or Ronald Fitch the ob-gyn specialist from Missouri. Or any one of the other hundred Ronald Fitchs showed up in my google search.
Which is why I call Comcast any time I need my 36" Wega moved. They usually send two guys, neither of whom is usually very smart, and it's generally easy to convince them that for some reason - the "cable" problem goes away if the TV is "over there".

Probably self-aggrandizement and vanity, pretty much like they are now.

The whole thing is moving forward while parts of it are moving backward or standing still at the same time?
:D
Sounds suspiciously like a certain operating system

Saddly, I bet I can guess what she does.
This function of the way our brains are wired is what allows us to feel empathy.
Yeah? Tell that to Congress.

Dude - you need to get the hell out of Madison before your head explodes.
Somehow I don't think it's wise to do such circumvention if you want to stay there short-term/long-term/permanently.
Then again, that might be just the way to stay there long-term/permanently.
