    I've got 12 WD 120GB 7200rpm special edition drives (8mb cache on each).

    I would show you more but I'm ssh'd in and the power just went out. The 300VA ups running this box while I'm testing it probably just let its smoke out. Doh.

    Anyway I like it. If its not fried. :\

    Visor Edge. Just $169 straight from handspring, free shipping, and a free aluminum hardcase (and a damn fine case IMHO). $160 from amazon w/ free shipping and no case however.

  9. Re:Distinction between single person and a couple. on Slashback: Wal-Modem, Culpability, Misquotes · · Score: 1

    Its a combined limit versus two seperate limits. This isn't complicated.

    If it was $400/person, marge and homer go shopping in Tokyo, and they have to try to evenly split their purchases between each other (especially if dealing with credit cards) to get the most from their $400 limits.

    If its $800/couple, then marge and homer can spend without worrying about who the purchases are associated with, as their limits are combined.

  12. Re:Processor ID/MAC address checks on Distributed.net Cracking Scheme Halted · · Score: 1

    You're missing the point. Why would a hacked or fake client play by the rules and report the correct ID/MAC? They could just make one up and send it out!

    Not to mention than with some cards, you can alter your mac address.

    Anyone who has ever serviced a GX1 or similar full tower dell machine knows this. For those who haven't, check it out...

    They're very well put together machines, you can lock them, and if someone opens the case when you're not there, you are alerted when the machine boots up. "Alert! Cover previously removed!".

  17. Why 10base2... on NASA talking again about manned mission to Mars · · Score: 1

    I'm sure anyone who gave NASA flack about this was just uninformed...

    10base2 can be used with cable which is quite well shielded, and thus less susceptible to interference. (Of course I'm sure you could build a 10baseT cable with similar properties) and whats the last time you saw a BNC connector's retention mechanism break off? The clips on RJ45 can be kind of fragile. And of course, as the previous poster said, you don't need power, and theres no hub/switch to fail. I believe there are some products which offer protection against disconnections/loss of termination by auto terminating the cables somehow, not sure of the specifics.
