Buy a 3Ware Escalade RAID card. The real money is going to go to hard drives anyway; you're not going to save much by buying cheap-ass featureless controllers. At least, with real hardware RAID you're getting some resiliency.
Unfortunately, by reinventing the wheel, all you've succeeded in doing is confusing the hell out of anyone who has to maintain your code in the future.
I hope you commented real-world uses of this profusely, otherwise you may start receiving suspicious packages in the mail from those who take over for you some day.
this person notices that these locks are in use at a government building. fearing that any criminal could get in, he rounds up a government official and a reporter and shows them how easy it is for anyone to get in. he then gets arrested for breaking and entering.
I don't have a problem with this. Why do you?

What he did was stupid.

He sounds like a "security professional" who "demonstrates a flaw in the system" to a potential client. This is not the smartest way to win clients. It is embarassing.
Had he called their IT director, described the flaw to him in private, he chose to take it to the press first. He might actually have won business from the IT director had he been a little more professional about it.
Unfortunately, he chose to try and shock not only them, but the public as well.
He pulled an incredibly stupid stunt: did something illegal and told people about it. Don't you think he should've been arrested, too?
Does this offend you, or are you scared? You say you're irritated -- why? Because he doesn't play by "the rules of western society"? The same society which would decide arbitrarily what a man can and cannot ingest, inhale, or inject into his own body, without backing their decisions up with anything "real" either? Should he sit calmly in his corner like the rest of us, being little more than an unthinking automaton?
He's different. This pisses you off.
I think you're the one who needs to adapt. Or simply be quiet.
If it's morally questionable (and, please, don't tell me that chipping your PS2 so you can play pirated games on it isn't at least morally questionable), it just might be illegal, too!
Just look for hardware RAID cards with Windows 2000 compatibility. A monkey could do this for you, if you feel like training the monkey for a few hours.
Trouble is, there is no PNG-like alternate that's widely accepted, not yet.
You mean, something like PNG? It works in every browser I've tried it in (including the horribly antiquated, why-do-fuckers-still-use-this Netscape 4.7x).
No company can stay in business by continuing to fix flaws in software that people bought and paid for long ago. At some point, you have to draw the line and say, ``Okay, OS X 10.1 is finished. It's time to move on to 10.2.''
Really? Weird. I can still get current service packs for Windows NT 4 for free.

Take your pick.
If you think it costs nothing to run a network, and all the subscriber money is gravy.... well, then, you're smoking some kind, kind bud, my friend.

Jesus! You people whine too much. At least they're not charging per bit, like just about every other country on the planet does.
For better service, in the real world, you do have to pay more. To me, this sounds like a good deal.

It's an innovative way to market a product. Why on earth is this article so negative about it, almost like it's a morally reprehensible thing to do?

That's right; the adult way to convince corporation/government office/anyone over the age of 20, is with green things.
And no, I'm not talking about grass.
Do you mean we should score Hilary Rosen some kind bud?

Yeah, Taco's grammar, spelling, punctuation, and fact-checking abilities are severely impaired by all the Linux Bong-Hits he's been doing.
When he returns on Monday, he'll be back in top form!

Please stop with the all your base shit. It stopped being funny about 15 minutes after the shockwave file was released.
Thx.

He didn't know it was a crime?
He should've checked.

Here is what my monkey found.
Can we find this person, and "educate" them?

Slashbots...not funny anymore? Are you sure you know where you are?
This would, of course, require slashbots to have been funny at one point.

I'd probably just play games with it.
Linux on my computer, where it belongs.
Games on my Gamecube, where they belong.
What is the point of anything else?

...do you ever get sick of hearing the sounds you created being used over and over again in lame techno/trance songs?
Case in point: The concussion bomb in Episode 2, which has been showing up in a bunch of crappy songs lately...

There are no plans for residential coverage.
So before you all start dancing like retards because you'll finally be able to get rid of evil Time Warner Cable, or whatever, let that sink in.
You're still fucked. (Please read next time, though.)

"Linux is only free if you don't value your time."
The same is true with any "free" software. It's only a bargain some of the time. Too many people here don't realize that.

2.0, a kernel whose last revision was out in January of 2001, "continues to be maintained", according to you?
Something that hasn't been updated in a year and a half counts as "maintained" in your book?
2.0 is pretty much dead.
