The "Feeling-of-betrayal" and adultery are not necessarily the same thing.
So with this rationalization, I can go out and hump $10 heroin-addicted runaways, all the while calling out my wifes name, as long as she doesn't find out and feel betrayed. Sounds like a President Clit'on defininition of adultery to me.
What's next? "It's not adultery because my actual penis did not make contact with her vagina as I was wearing a condom."The phone or computer or whatever is just a replacement for the condom. Please excuse any mispellings as my keys have been sticking lately.;^)
Every HD crashes. Back in the 80's, HDs crashed so often computers were barely usable. Now, thanks to major increases in reliability, people with little experience don't even consider it a problem. "You young whipper-snappers don't know how lucky you are, why back in my day..."

I always wanted to put up a #2 can of Daisy BB's and a blasting cap. Like you said, too bad its only low Earth orbit, I'd much rather have geosynchronis orbit for my experiment.
Well to start with, you need to be able to change the data rate on a per-track basis. This way you could pack the bits on the disk at the maximum desity. You could do this by either varying the spindle motor speed or by varying the bit-rate. Either case requires modification of the drive electronics (at least). Then half-step the stepper motor to double the number of tracks. Next, you need to change the coercivity of the platter substrate. Do you have a sputtering machine available? And finally, of course you would need to replace the heads with smaller ones. Then the easy part, change the encoding from MFM to GCR, That you may be able to do on the controller. Don't forget to account for the more pronounced precompensation required. I know the ST238 was the same drive as the ST225, only meant to be used with RLL controller.
BTW, Kodak had 10M floppies using some of these techniques over a decade ago, and Victor had floppy drives with four times the storage of the IBM floppy drives back in '83.

I wonder what affect a strong NDA would have on members communications to the press when punks are terrorizing the web. The exploit spreads like wildfire, but members would still keep mum.
"What exactly is the H4X0r doing?"
"I'm not allowed to say."
"Rumor has it he just presses the Windows key at the wrong time."
"No comment."
"What kind of countermeasures can we use."
"Sorry, I'm not allowed to disclose that to non-members."
"When will you have a fix."
"Once all members have implemented their fix and signed off."
"MegaCorp says they have a fix."
"I cannot comment on excumunicated members' press releases."

The military also has a problem getting "smart" people to join. The $25000 ad also serves as a math test. The ones who figure out that signing up for four years to learn something they are interested in (but probably won't be assigned to) to get up to the $25000 matching funds (you basically can't spend what little money they do pay you) if you can get into one of the few selected colleges (otherwise the $25000 becomes more like $10000) all the while having somebody tell you when you can take a shit, probably are too smart to join. They flip burgers and go to a real college.
If you are in California or New York etc. you'll blend right in. I've lived all over the US and if you talk funny, most people just wouldn't be able to understand you. The US is large enough to have several strong regional accents. Sometimes it difficult to understand people from our own country.
"xenophobia", ha! give me a break. PS: I have enslaved a goldfish but he doesn't seem to mind.
Finally, computers and TV's are starting to merge. My grandkids will never know they were ever two seperate boxes. With things like http://www.packetcable.com/ around the corner it looks like Linux has a head start on Microsoft. Hopefully, MS keeps pushing bloated, bug-ridden Wince so that Linux will rule the next century.
And in the case of incurable viri, I think the cat would be outta the bag long before any one of these guys gets a chance to warn the others.
Maybe virus writers should find a way to only target these companies and make this cartel actually serve a purpose.
It may seem to work for the Banking industry... but how could you even tell?
No way will these kind of companies be able to communicate sensitive internal problems with rivals in a timely manner. Management will stifle it every step of the way.
Already done. There are CD-R's with a copy protection bit turned on. These work in the music CD-R writers. These are stand-alone CD-R writers expressly made for composing music. The cost of this "special" CD-R media has always been many times the "computer" CD-R media. So if you want to write your own music, go out and buy a $2000 music CD-R writer and pay through the nose for blanks.
It is about as popular as DAT tape.
Personally, I wish they'd build a chip with 1024 Z80 processors and 64K RAM each. Something along those lines. I wonder how many 8-bit processors could fit into the space of the Pentium chip....off to lookup transistor counts.
It is difficult for me to understand how somebody could build a simulator with enough transistors to create a turing machine large enough to simulate a human brain, when according to Carl Sagan this is a number greater than the number of elementary particles (protons and electrons) in the known universe. I understand that brain is running at a slow frequency, but still, it would take several galaxies worth of matter just to build anything close, using binary architectures.
(today's 32/64-bit CPU's are laughable by comparison)
Anyone who has been a computer scientist and a neuroscientist should have this insight. Real breakthroughs in CPU architectures are awaiting those who can mimic the brain.
The average human brain contains 100 billion neurons each of which have about 10 thousand synapses. How can you even COMPARE that to a binary computer?/me doubts your authenticity
