Anyway, there very well could be a solid core, last time I did much reading on it they still didn't know.
So the stuff is about as dense on average as pine wood. (Not a boat, just the wood.) Though it's probably particles that are denser than water with gaps.
1 liter is 1000 grams, so a 10x10x10 cm block of water is one kilogram. It would take 1,000 of those blocks to make a cubic meter, thus 1,000 kilograms. So 600 kilograms per cubic meter = 6/10 as dense as water. Or something like that.

Using a new technology to distribute/create/view porn is what puts the dollars on the bottom line of the new product.
In other words, sure VHS might have gotten where it did, but the sex industry drove the market faster than it would for Terrence and Phillip videos or "how to change carborators" learn at home classes.
Once the tech is established somewhat, that's when the other markets open up. (Plus, if VHS was mostly porn, I'd buy a couple Disney movies real quick to have in the living room... that way people don't have the association that the box in the corner is only used for porn... so it drives the rest of the market too.)

Candle wax works OK on CDs too. Warm your hands first, take a sliver, work the wax into a finger and apply and work it in, then polish with a very soft cloth.
Works because the wax stays in there and keeps the laser from being disrupted by sharp scratch edges.
Uhm... Doesn't Section 508 HTML/design standard make it ILLEGAL for a government web site to not follow the standard?
Section 508 has all sorts of stuff that goes beyond W3C to include formatting, layout, table naming, etc. to ensure that a web site is easily browsable by non-sighted users' browser tools. (i.e. Lynx-like)
They can't do what they are saying they want to do without breaking the law.
(It's not that hard to make a compliant web site, you just need to work it in the process from the beginning.)
Well the log files wouldn't have been good enough anyway.
It's pretty clear from the first hand experiences mentioned above in the discussion, that the log files are NEVER going to be good enough for the FBI.
They are ALWAYS going to want physical control of the original hard drives to do their bit-copy, chain of control evidence thing. The only option for an ISP is to make a copy of the drive system, hand over the original and use the copy to run.
This folks, is what is known as "collateral damage", and you may be aware our current justice/administration doesn't give two craps about that.
Where PROPERNAME is the name of the service according to service control manager, type it in a command window.
For example, the following CMD file restarts the DNS client in windows and clears local DNS cache (helpful if you are trying to make sure DNS changes are done correctly)
net stop "DNS Client" net start "DNS Client"
Save as TXT and rename to CMD.
A batch file could easily be made to turn services on off, or even put in the Start menu if you wanted. That way they get started and stopped again, so they come alive when dependancies call them instead of making what you are doing fail.
Oops. I just exposed myself as a Windows junkie.:P
I think the answer lies in how much data we are talking about.
5 gig...
50 gig...
500 gig?
It should be trivially easy to make some weekly scripts that compress, encrypt and FTP your data to a server somewhere.
But if it's 500 gig, you have more of a problem than if it is 5.
You might consider seeing if you can find several of those "$5.95 per month" hosting places with FTP access and just use a web server to back up to.
I have heard of plugins that can mount the Google 1 gig of storage email service as a shared file resource. I am sure you could pick up a couple of dozen Google invites or a couple hundred if need be.
Offsite and online backup should be one consideration in an overall plan though. Redundant hard drives (even just copy to workstations from servers) a backup tape drive you can use to make tapes to keep in your safe or house...
A hurricane is a big disaster, but its about as big as you are going to get in the continental US. Anything bigger or worse than that and you should be worrying about fresh water and survival instead.
I think of data problems like viruses. It almost doesnt matter what you are doing as long as you are doing a VARIETY of things to keep your data safe. Lots and lots of data on tape in a car that gets burned up is useless. But online, local network, and backup tapes make it a lot harder to destroy data.
Another thing you will want to consider is how much down time can you afford? If you can deal with a week as long as you get the database back, thats different than if you loose $1000 per hour of downtime. Spend accordingly.
The video card must be DirectX9.0 compatable. That rules out most of the formerly "decent" video cards such as the gForce4 series and the Radeon 9000 class cards.
Expect to use something like a nVidia 6600GT to get decent performance. For great performance and screenshots like you may have seen, expect to need a $400 video card.
Likewise, a 2.8 gHZ or so CPU, and a Gig of RAM minimum.
BF2 is a "buy a new system" game, not an "upgrade a single component" game for the average BF1942 player.

Just get one with removable glass you can open and clean. Even if you dont smoke (maybe if you cook?) they will fog up on the inside.
If you can clean it, it's a bonus.
Otherwise, expect it to break, get a new one in a year. No biggie.
Heh. I came to read this thread only to find out how long it took before that joke showed up.

My understanding is the law says:
GOVERNMENT RUN WEB SITES are legally bound to Section 508, due to the dissablities act thing.
Private web sites have no such restrictions other than it being a good idea.
Section 508 is less about HTML specifics and more about maintaining compatability. Requiring alt tags on images, plain text links, site map, etc.
As long as the site can be parsed and understood in certain ways (per Section 508) by text readers its OK.
Uhm... Doesn't Section 508 HTML/design standard make it ILLEGAL for a government web site to not follow the standard?

Gimmie a break.
This is a non-issue. The VIN number is just as unique and probably harder to remove than the RFID chip on a vehicle.
The ONLY difference is the chip can be read by waving a wand or a stationary dectector rather than having some border guard monkey write it down.
If anything, the chips will make it easier for people who would ordinarily have to wait in line do their legit business.
