Erm, there is a slight difference between a jeep engine, built to be DURABLE and easy to maintain, and a high performance car engine, such as a ferraris. still, 33k does see rather low...
He has completely screwed up the car though, yellow is NOT the colour for a ferrari, and defiling it by putting in a turbo is not nice.
erm, you don't have the highest per capita income fuckwit, or even the highest standards of living
and yes, capitalism, in its purest, most greedy form, is wrong. Your standard of living is only - briefly mind - maintained by raping the rest of the world. When they run out, yer fucked
Hence exceedingly inefficient US car engines for example
Win NT5 can do this, [as well as sofft raid 0], by upgrading to "dynamic" disks
LVM as pointed out is always on unix....windows finally has the ability to mount a disk into a folder, not a drive lette- amazing! only took 20years...

to Copy the GD, you had to run a serial link out the back - that took ~24hours if mem serves
The ps1 on the other hand, at launch, could play ANY DISC YOU GODDAM PUT IN THERE
copying a ps cd? about 8minutes
PS is the biggest console in history, numnutz

The PS1 was/is the most succesful games console in history. IT IS ALSO THE MOST PIRATED!
The truth of the matter is that people have pirated ps1 games, but they are also going out and buying real copies as well, often on the strength of the copy [if i play a game and really like it, i buy it. if not, it doesn't deserve my money and it gets forgotten. a bit like max payne...] or even that once they have the console, spare cash turns up for a new game and people act honourably. If what you are saying is true, then only one copy of each game for the ps would have been sold, as the original ps [the one i had, the mk1] could play ANY discs, no mod chip needed -this DIDN'T happen
Which is such a shame for the rest of the world, I mean, how could linux development continue? I mean, alan cox...oh yeah, he lives in wales...or linus..could move back home....Linux != US only
I think it would be rather amusing if the SSSCA got passed, as US companies would have a very hard time competing outside of the US - "would you like our fantastic SSSCA compliant system, which doesn't let you do anything you actually want to do, or would you rather have this cheaper system that you can do whatever you wish! Please, go for me, i'm american!"
ahem
I can see this being really popular - if MS wanted to compete in none US territories, post SSSCA, it would most likely have to remove DRM [or fall foul of various fair use doctrines in countries], and to do this would require it produce siad non-compliant software. But it couldn't do that in the US, surely? So it would have to hire outside the US in order to keep its grip on the world........
The great thing is, if ML ends up on my computer [in the UK] under the misuse of computers act, 1992 [iirc] I have a lovely target with which to imprison and sue for damages.
roll on the money!
and if they release this, surely it is a "circumvention" device anyway - after all, it is designed to get around security....justa thought or 2
I didn't need a mod chip for my PS, as i had the original MK1...would play anything at all, and had the much better heatsink so no overheating problem either..
if you *tell* anyone that you have had to hand your keys over, you get 5years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ahem, not all a/v software comes from the US, therefore some companies WILL detect it - ohterwise they are deliberately misleadingly selling a product [they claim it knocks out all known, if they know about it and don't knock it out, hey hey that;s fraud] hence them getting sued
Now, whether you can do that in the US is a different matter....
Yes, of course americans invented everything - my god, edison invented the lightbulb!

Although you may think you are the centre of the fucking world, you are not, you are simply one other country, and a beliigerent one at that. And people whine when you agree to something, then don't follow up because *shock* it may cost you something. Like the way the US government is willing to fuck up the entire world just to save a few pennies by not following through on the kyoto agreement

50k, less cos of the "upgrades" he's put on it.
Nope, cos any work you do on the unis systems is owned by them, not you. Check your computer systems agreement with the uni!

Do an "about" and you'll see! was only going to be a service pack, till they realised they could make more money pretending it was a new OS
This case was a case of RTFM
You know, read the instructions, try to do it THEN ask for help?
Now that WOULD be a fight - 200 SAS against 5000 US marines....5:1 against the SAS, any takers? ;-)
Nope...
We have a TV licence so we get the great TV service of BBC1,2 [terrestrial] as well as some pretty good raqdio stations
alll for £100 a year. and no advertising!
Well, click through licences don't hold water in many countries, so just do it there - there are OTHER coders than us citizens out there!

Direct sunlight? Fly above the average cloud height!
Yes, hydrogen and oxygen. So you electrolyse the resulting water and you get...hydrogen and oxygen again, ready to be stored back in the fuel cell.
you see?
now whether it is practical or not is another thing....
