    please tell me this parent post was intended as 'funny'

    mtbf's for scsi drives are based on 24 hours/7days

    and the mtbf on scsi still rocks ide.
    for performance, durability, and reliability with harddrives, we use scsi.

    err no. scsi drives are much more durable. these drives are not identical. how do you spin the same hardware twice as fast, without failure? fact is, you can't. remember, scsi drives run at 10000rpm, or 15000 rpm. not 7200.

    think before you post.

    well, my malinformed friend:

    the judges will not do anything about his actions (in spamming). And when the courts wont do anything about a situation that appears legal, and the citizens dont agree, its time to grab the "proverbial pitch fork" and go witch hunting.

    ofcourse, the proverbial "witch hunt". which, in our case, happens to be spam. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.....

    besides, i don't think that even those posts said "do it!!!" they merely provided the vehicle for the individual to make that "independent" decision.

  10. Re:Adobe Is Dead on Sklyarov Case Opens Today · · Score: 5, Insightful

    only from an AC would we get such a silly response (and not normally do I respond to AC's). Adobe leads in so many departments, that it would be "hard" for them to slip away.

    Joe user doesn't have the money for Adobe products, however, Joe Company does. And they do pay for it, and they 'do' use it. Adobe controls the market on both Mac's and PC's --- and before you give me the LInux aspect, remember that it aint used like the other OS's for desktop publishing. Adobe is also a crucial instrument into the Postscript that everyone plus grandma uses.

    acrobat and pdf are only a portion of the pie that they eat.

    so, before you start the elimination rounds early, get your facts straight.

    disclaimer: i dont agree with their decision about Elcomsoft, i am merely looking at this from a desktop publishing environment (from which i am gainfully employed.) so, in essence, adobe will survive long past this silly dmca bs.

    dna should act like computer code because:
    a - computer code is relatively logically.
    b - our bodies are relatively logical
    c - everything scientific thus far in the world has been explained by mathematics or logic.

    in deciphering DNA, we need to "reverse-engineer" the "code" in order to understand its composition.(sounds like computer code to me).

    kind of like programming, in a way.

    from what is explained, exons would be the 'linkers', the introns the actual data. this actually is a very likely concept, which explains the extra dna stuff. in java, (for those who dont know) one makes a 'reference' to an object. the references take very little space, (about 2-3%)compared to the actual data in memory. the reference 'points' to an actual object. the exons may be doing this 'pointing' to the introns....

  22. Re:More pieces is bad on Stopping Killer Asteroids · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i can understand your point of view, but:

    if a large impact - such as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs - happens again, we're beat. No half way about it. However, if we get punished with a dozen impacts 1/12th the size of the original, we may only lose a few countries, maybe upwards of 20 or 30.

    only to go back to your example - that devasting n-medium sized, will not cause the sun to be blocked from earth....whereas one huge impact may push enough sh** into the air causing us to croak.

    isnt losing the sun the biggest problem that we, as a race, would fear from an impact? or are there other ramifications?
