So what was the eventual cost of the PSN call? Is it cost-effective to route all our company's product support calls to them instead of Microsoft like we've been doing?
I've had some problems with Access too. It doesn't handle the list that I keep very well.
What would be the most acute arc achievable on the pogo? With that piece of material just sticking out in front, I'd be worried about it snapping and taking out several coeds.
As soon as possible, helmet laws should be enacted to prevent head injuries as a result of misuse of the mega-pogo stick. Laws requiring neck braces should probably be enacted also, but seeing as how neck braces are not as commonly available as helmets we can put off passing that law for a while.
At 1cm^3, you could probably just put it in a bag and wipe the disk clean with a hammer. Then scatter the remnants across the highway during the high-speed pursuit.
See that big rectangular thing with the small round handle-like thing on the side embedded in the wall? Go turn the round thing and either push or pull. You will discover another world just beyond the wall. It's called reality! And there are real, honest to goodness females out there. They don't just exist in Everquest!
You could probably just rely on WindowsXP to handle the storage for you. These files will go to "My Pictures", these to "My Music", these to "My Documents", these to "My Applications", and these to "My Secret Stash of Porn - Password Protected".
Besides hard drive space, the larger and more bloated a program gets, the more RAM it begins to take up. I have no problem with picking up a larger HD for a couple hundred bucks, but here at the North Pole RAM prices are still fairly expensive.
C'mon SI, you know that's because they couldn't use reel to reel tapes as a futuristic storage medium. Do you think the creators of the Superman movie were also visionaries?
It's certainly smaller than anything I'd leave under your Christmas tree.
When will we see these things cheap enough to buy off the shelf? Even if the prices stay high, the ability to store that much capacity in such a small space will be a boon to the remote storage peddlers.

Free beer is something I'd quickly agree to.
Open beer? How do I know you're not pissing in the can? Of course, I wouldn't be able to tell if you were offering an American beer.

It will cost you a lot more in time and resources to come up with your own embedded solution instead of buying a solution from someone else.
Is there any reason you want to limit yourself to Linux? There are several other embedded system providers out there which could give you similar functionality.
What incentive does a company have for GPL'ing work that you do that benefits *them*? Obviously, if you work in your spare time on a project like Apache and your company produces children's educational software then a contract that allows (or doesn't disallow) GPL'ing of your software makes sense. But if you work on Apache by night and IIS by day, I think your employer would be very foolish to allow you to do so.

Did I say 1cm^2? I meant 1cm^3.
Sorry for any confusion.

It shouldn't be that heavy, being 1cm^2. You could probably just nudge it a little.
