by default syslogd calls fsync() after every log file update
This behavior should be disabled, when possible, because the security gain is mostly imaginary -- it's rare for a system to fail such that buffers aren't flushed, yet you still have time to explicitly sync -- while the performance hit is not.
In an article posted by BBC, a scientist has suggested that two "unassociated" seismic events that occurred earlier this afternoon were actually strange Beef matter passing through his GI tract at a speed of perhaps 250 miles per second. A spec of strange Meat the size of a human cell is said to be so dense that it could weigh a tonne! Also, the scientist commented, 'what the fuck do they put in that stuff? It tastes like meat paste, but it's greyish-beige!!? I won't fall for that again."
fireproof (as defined by manufacturers) doesn't really mean 'compatible with magnetic media',... [those that are] were not as affordable
This is not consistent with reality. A "fireproof" safe is one that delays heat transfer across its walls. Actual fireproofedness is, of course, not possible.
If media fails at temps of (say) 250F, and you buy a safe that can keep temps below 450F for one hour, then that safe will keep temps below 250F for 1 hour, minus X. If you upgrade to a four-hour safe, then you're good for 4 hours minus Y ( > 1hr - X ). Heat transfer is a well-understood phenomenon; you can approximate X or Y, given reasonable values for inner temperature, burning-room temperature, some graph paper and a physics book.
You don't need a "data-grade" safe. Buy a regular paper-grade safe, with a rating of however long you need, plus a cushion.
Just because your badge reader only works from a few inches away doesn't mean anyone's reader will. If all I need to do to get access to your entire corporate infrastructure is sit in the lobby "waiting for someone" as your CEO strolls by, you don't actually have a security system. You just have doors:-)...
I've noticed that two stacked cards won't work; you need to present them to the reader one at a time. Will that prevent 'sniffing' like you describe? Then you could just issue employees two cards (for two different doors) and plastic holders.
There was an article in Wired a couple of years ago about this: they use a "manufacturing contractor" (not sure if that's the right term). MS does the design, they take the plans to Flextronics in Mexico, who recommends small changes (use a different-size screw here, etc.), quotes a per-unit manufacturing price, and then builds and packages the gear.
The OP claimed the U.S. is more dispersed than Canada, and that's why DSL is so poor there.
I pointed out that even in remote regions, our service is superior to the densest parts of the U.S. Number of roads, phones, planes, or Jesus stickers per resident doesn't change that.
Addressing the dispersal question, though:
CIA factbook says 85% of Canada's population lives within 300km of the U.S. border, whose length (excluding the Alaskan border) is 6416km. So to bolster the OP's claim, we'll exclude the 4/5ths of Canada that isn't in that strip -- i.e., all except the most dense part. That gives us a population of ~27million in ~2million km^2: 13.5 residents per km^2.
Now compare to the U.S.: Just for fun, we'll ignore the populations of NYC (16.6M) and LA (13.1M) since these mega-cities skew the density upward just as Canada's great white north skews it downward.
The result? ~248M people in a little under 10M km^2 or 24.8 residents per; double that of Canada's most dense region.

Is it meat, or is it Memorex?
Of course, that's not to say you can't make a film entirely from deteriorating digital footage.

False. Both IE and Mozilla provide a global style sheet, in which you may say: h1 { font-size: 18px !important } to obtain pleasantly-sized headers.
Sounds like you have some "unfinished business" to address, first.

No, he has not! And another so-called "joke" is deftly foiled... with facts!
Thanks, and please tune in tomorrow, when our game will be "Intellectual Property Law: Who's most ignorant?"
I don't think uptime is the problem. He was complaining about the load average.
I, for one, look forward to the advent of ping music. Ludwig van's been rendered on some pretty fancy instuments, none so expensive as an OC-192.
Fascinating, but cut to the chase, man: who should I kill?
You have an 8-bedroom house?

WTF? I am being robbed here. That there is comedy gold, people, solid fucking gold. Get on it.

Good for them. I myself just released 2.10, for a can of pop and bag of chips. That comes on the heels of a 1.30 release, into a parking meter.
Here are a few more mirrors, with similarly irrelevant content:
1. The Onion: America's Finest News Source!
2. id's homepage
3. Geocities: you never know what you'll find!
On the other hand, I also found this, which has a lot of good info.
Enjoy, fuckers!
Dear Timothy,
1. Do you understand what the word 'launch' means?
2. Are you aware it is not yet February 2003?

That would be pretty cool, even without ICQ.
