Really? Hmm... the connection ran at 6.25Gbps. That's roughly 750MBps. At that speed it would take about 330 seconds, or 5.5 minutes to fill up your HD. Of course, there are some other problems as well (HD speed, etc).

Won a big settlement, most of which went into the pockets of Mike Cerici
He and his buds only got about $250 million. (chump change) The state got $7 - $8 billion.
What I loved about the results of that case was that when the public found out how much money ($250 million) that one little lawyers firm got a lot of people were pretty upset. But our friendly attorney general said that amount was "fair" (I'll give you one guess as to what political party he's affiliated with). I wonder how jealous the state's lawyers were when they saw the millions of dollars that Mr Cerici and his buds got in comparison to their public (albeit still good) wages.
This is actually a really good point. This story, and that x.org story are worthless and don't matter in the grand scheme of things (they're not "Stuff that Matters")
The Bubble Fusion story may affect us all (and not just the 1% - 3% of us who are Mac users).
If you say it dropped 10.56% and it was at 100 before; or, if it was at 20 and dropped 10.56%, they tell a lot more.
Yeah, both stocks dropped 10.56%
I don't think it really matters what the initial price was. A stock dropping that much is bad no matter what the initial price.
You argument works a little bit better if the poster was saying how the stock dropped 5 points (not percent). If the stock was originally at 100 and it dropped 5 points that's not too big of deal. If a stock was at 10 and then dropped 5 points, it might very well be game over.
You're a jackass, plain and simple. If he doesn't have the source just ask him to post it. Your actions are no matter than the fucktard companies and their lawyers suing everyone in sight and, in my opinion, they're worse as most (if not all) slashdot readers should know better.
Posting someones info like that on slashdot is pretty shitty. We already know about the abuse involving the whois db. It doesn't matter that it's freely available via whois. It's not like any of us routinely check out the info on every little site we visit. Now thousands of people are going to have his personal info displayed across their screen.
As a 48 yo grandmother, I am offended that people equate being a grandmother with having a low level of technical competance.
Well, you don't have enough "technical competance" to reply to the right post on slashdot. So, I think you proved the posters point. Good job.
Anyways, I'd be willing to be all of my net worth that over 95% of grandmothers have a very low level of technical competance. You are the exception (and also a fairly young grandmother).
but how about the computers and hardware next to the one that's on fire? And how about the equipment on the floor below the computer that caught on fire?

I always find it exciting to hear about groups of people electing each other and slapping each other on the back.
What exciting news. And how about they do a better job formatting the post? What was with all the line breaks?

I'm no expert but if something's on fire, getting it wet is the least of your worries.
Yep, you are no expert. In many fires by far the most damage is not caused by the fire itself, but by the massive amounts of water used to put it out.

Easier backups from higher capacity might make it more desirable than other less, "error prone" methods.
That would be a interesting way to look at backups.
