Take them outside, and throw them as high into the air as possible. Then watch them land on concrete.
I think that render the drive useless. =)
Probably not. Most commercial harddrives are rated for at least 50gs of acceleration. My Deskstar is good for up to 100. You might dent the outer case, but it'll probably still work.
You realize that if they do keep IE from using these standards, MSFT will just come up with something worse and declare it a standard, then ban the use of Eolas' components in all versions of Windows?
THE WORST... Honestly, for a professional website you'd think they'd hire better writers. No mention of the honeypot until the second to last paragraph, and even then it came out of the blue.
The trick is just finding a good company. As many other folks have said, you really can't be independent online. The trick is to be as independent as possible. Personaly, we use http://www.virtuaserve.net to host our site. They've been really great.
Isn't the most useful part of the black box the voice recorder? I don't think anyone is going to say "hmm...I think I may have been going a little too fast on that ice patch back there, and that's why I am in this uncontrolled spin"
Even if we do change over, where are we going to get the energy to liberate the hydrogen from where is is sitting now? Fossil Fuels, maybe?

Considering all the crap I already have crammed into my pockets and laptop case (Cell phone, Palm, mp3 player, RIM) this thing is a godsend. To have all that stuff combined into one unit is spectacular. Add in an HTML and Javascript enabled browser and you'd have one very happy techboy. Might be a little expensive, but that's what tax write-offs are for. Can't wait till it hops the pond.
It seemed like a normal day, I was sitting in the datacenter of a major dot-com building a server, and waiting for Windoze NT 4 (-POS) to install. The company had....
ONLY 1 LINUX BOX!!!!!!
and it was being used for JUNK MAILINGS!!!!
but that's not the scariest part...
I had commandered another Dell PowerEdge that was waiting to be shipped out to Austin, TX for web surfing, ICQ, IRC and AIM and was reading Slashdot when the story about CODE RED catches my eye. "Hmm..." I say "good thing our IIS is patched up to the....newest...vers...." At this moment I take glance back at the Server I was building (workstations rock) and check the version of IIS I'm installing. As I said, my bosses were a little behind the times. "Uh-oh" I said, remebering the memo I'd gotten about a couple of our firewall boxes going down...
needless to say there was A LOT of checking and patching going on that day...and night...and early morning...
Canada got into the whole telecommunications game late, and so the entire country is strung with much newer Fiberoptics, rather than the USA's crappy copper. You probably have a fiberloop down the street.
(oh yeah, I get 1.5Mbps)
on the one hand this is a far more effective way to advertise, and with the death of so many banner ad comanies in the last couple of months, I can't say i don't understand it.
However, I personally perfer going online, to watching TV precisly because I don't have to wait 2 out of every 15 mins for some crap to flash on my screen...
personally i don't like it...
should i pay movie comapnies when i buy a VCr in case I copy a tape from blockbuster, or record something off of HBO?
I've really had enouch with the record companies whining like wusses, their saales are higher than ever, and yet they still bitch and moan...jesus..
amazon really can't claim to hold a patent on something so basic...
it was around for a long time before they got around to "patenting" it
now if only we could get a positive Napster ruling too...
are either of you worried about possibly erroneous submitions, whether it be a made up encyclopedia article, or badly translated public domain texts?
In addition, what will the final forms of both of your products be? CD/DVD or internet? If internet will there be some kind of registration required?
No...
to an observer outside the solar system, the radio activity around the sun is hundreds of times higher than it should be.
Consider this: If the sun were more powerful than the radio broadcasts, radio transmissions would be dorwned out. They aren't so it isn't.
Why isn't earth putting out laser messsages?
It's not like they're not looking for us too.
In the article, it says that we are able to put out pulses of light to other stars that would appear many times brighter than the sun.
So why aren't we?
what about installations on systems w/o a net connection?
would it just check every day or something?
Microsoft, more ways to make your life difficult

Just what I needed!

I think nVidia has the right idea by combining EVERYTHING into one package. And we'll finally get onboard video that doesn't suck.
If it needs to be kept online, it'll probably be cheaper and certainly faster to just buy a couple of 100gb harddrives.
THE WORST...

This is why you have to pay a bunch more if you order Cable internet access and don't already have basic cable. They basically have to give it away.
