IDE/ATA and PCMCIA are almost the same thing, as is Compact Flash. The electrical signaling is the same, just the form factor of the connector differs. I'm pretty sure that PCMCIA adds some protocol level extentions to drive things that don't act like block addressable devices, hot swaping cards and device identification. But other than that, there isn't much difference.
Your maximum liability is $50. Thats it. You can never be held accountable for more than $50. Thats it. I mean, $50. Its a chunk of change, but its not $500 or $5000 or $50,000. Its only fifty-bucks.
Theft does not create value. If your number is stolen you personally may only be out $50 bucks, but someone is out much more. That money has to come from somewhere, and in the end it means higher interest rates, higher card fees and higher merchant fees (which effect everyone, not just people with credit cards). It is not "only fifty bucks".
QuantumLINK is AOL. Back in the late 80's the people who ran QuantumLINK realized that running a service for a steadily decreasing number of C64 and C128 wasn't a good long term strategy. So they shutdown Qlink and reinvented themselves as AOL. The rest, as they say, is history.
It's been said that Pravda served the people of the Soviet Union far better than CNN and their ilk serve us today, because at least people knew enough not to trust Pravda.
Who said the earth station has to be directly below the satellite. A geostationary satellite can see half the planet. It might be less efficient, but there is no reason why the beam couldn't be aimed above or below the equator.
And, by the way geosyncronous orbits are not over only the equator. By definition, they cross the equator every 12 hours, wandering north and south at the same longitude. A geosynchronous satellite with a 90 degeree inclined orbit sits above a point on the equator - the term for that is geostationary. All geostationary orbits are geosynchronous, not all geosynchronous orbits are geostationary. Verstehen Sie?
The one I posted is a valid code. It's the code for unlimted lives in Contra. Not the most well known one, but hey... (And yes, I put an extra [start] in there - hit submit when I wanted preview, sue me).
Sadly, the IMAP standard does not outline a use of things like md5sums and order lists.
Not true. The IMAP standard says the server has to assign each mail message a unique ID number (UID) that is presistant accross sessions. I well-behaved client can detect any new or deleted messages by requesting a UID list from the server (a very quick operation). Since messages cannot be altered through the IMAP protocol (only deleted and re-appended), a UID list would even catch messages that were edited and resaved (ie. the unsent or drafts folder).
3) On EVERY call I do get, my first words are "I don't want to be called, take me off your list." I believe this really does have some effect.
I've found that this is the single most effective way to cut down on telemarketeing calls (aside from hunting telemarketers for sport, of course). I started doing this about a year and a half ago. At the time I was getting 2 to 3 calls per night (and about a dozen during the day judging by the caller-id box). Now I get one call maybe every six weeks or so. That I can handle.
When I do get a call, I just interrupt them as soon as it's clear that they are a telemarketer. I always use the phrase "place me on your do-not-call list". If you just say "take me off your list", they will - but as soon as they buy some more numbers that happen to include yours your're back on the list. The "Do Not Call List" is different, as once you are on it, you should never get an unsolicited call from that organization again (and all telemarketers are required by law to have such a list).
junkbusters.com has lots of good info on the subject.
the anthrax infections we've been reading about are not the responsibility of terrorists, but just some nutcase somewhere in the country who is trying to scare the hell out of everyone...
Huh? Wouldn't the nutcase you speak of be a terrorist by definition?
My apologies. Upon further insepction I see the stray comment you're talking about. It's pretty far ahead of where the button is defined, and I missed it before. The weird thing is that every other browser besides Mozilla renders the page as if the comment weren't there.

You're talking about the order form here, right? If so, the submit buttons the order form and the credit card verification form are NOT in a comment. The HTML is correct on both pages. Unfortunately, I can't check any pages past that without purchasing another CD, and I'm not going to do that right now.
The rule is usually based around Consideration, Chance, and Compensation. As in - you can have any two, but all three together are an illegal lottery/gambling situation.
Some examples:
Consideration and Compensation - pretty much would mean buying something.
Consideration and Chance - Video Arcade games
Chance and Compensation - Just about every promotional contest out there, thats why, say, McDonald's has to say "Purchase not required." in their Monopoly Game ads. The also have to provide an alternate way of entering the contest besides buying something
NeuLevel was doing all three - you had to pay to enter (consideration), a prize would have been awarded -the domain name (compensation), and they were doing by random drawing (chance). That's a lottery.
Then they would run backwards at times, you would have to pay more money each year for the same watch with the bug fixes, and sometimes it would just stop and you'd have to replace the battery to start it again.
Let's not forget:
You need extra licenses if you want someone besides yourself to read the watch.
Every time you look at the watch a little animated figure pops up and says "Hi. It looks like you're trying to read the time. How can I help?".
EULA prevents you from telling anyone else the time you read off the display. It also prevents you for using the time to disparage Microsoft or MSN.
The watch comes complete with T-1 speed wireless access from anywhere on the planet. However, it only allowed to be used for license compliance tracking.
The watch tells time in decimal and uses the Julian calander. Converting it to anything else violates the DMCA.
That is correct. I keep an Earthlink account for traveling. No problems connecting with Linux - it's just plain old PPP. Their Windows software is just a dialer that knows all the local access numbers, and there are plenty of other ways to get those. I just keep the current list in my Palm.
Wouldn't that "prebuilt" backup power system in an old CO be 48V DC? Now most routers and network gear have 48V DC power options but that hasn't caught on with servers yet. I think you'd probably have to redo that part.
The classes will probably continue, but the Universities, Professors and students will have to be specially licensed to handle non-Certified operating systems. Comp-Sci students will probably have to have periodic FBI background checks to prove that they can be trusted with such dangerous code.
And outside of school, dangerous tools like compilers and debuggers will have to be controlled and licensed as well.
Sorry. I figured that we were trying to find the maximum bandwidth of a 777. Since a DDS-4 tape is the same size and weight as a DDS-3 tape it seemed like a logical way to maximize the bandwidth with a minimum of further research.
And, you posted your correction after I started writing mine. I didn't see it until after I hit submit.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but 481,500 tapes * 20GB per tape(*) = 9,630,000GB = 9404TB = 9.4PB.
How did you get 5.7TB ?
If you could somehow carry the full 8 million tapes, the total data capacity would be 149 Zettabytes.
And the bandwith calculation is suspect too. Even if your capacity estimate is correct, moving 5.7TB in 14 hours requires a bandwidth of 945Mbps. Moving 9.4PB in 14 hours requires a bandwidth of over 1.5Tbps.
I always got the feeling that the so called AI in The Matrix was actually more of an Artificial Malevolence. While it could have (nearly) exterminated humanity at any time, it chose to go use extraordinary means to keep them under its heel for some revenge / retribution / punishment motive that a true AI would not have deemed a logical choice.
Basically, it was insane. And it reminded me a lot of the AI in Harlan Elison's "I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream."

You need to make your week three days long. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It would be great if Friday could start at 5:00pm, too.

It's not, because 7.2 went gold before the 2 bugs were discovered. Updated packages are available already though.
