Now have you got an XP driver for me that will read/write HFS+ extended (jourmaled) and HFS+ extended (case-sensitive, journaled)? Or an OSX driver that will let me read/write NTFS?
The closest I can get to any of that is the read-only NTFS support that's supposed to be in Tiger, but I've never tested that because none of my USB or FireWire drives are NTFS-formatted.
Going the other way, some quick googling turned up MacDrive. It says it supports HFS+ read/write on Windows and it looks like the disk would just show up as another drive letter, but there was nothing I could find that says it supports journaled HFS+. That's something you'd want to ask them. It's not free, either (as in beer, let alone as in speech).
For what values of fine is putting 32GB of data on a FAT32 file system a good idea?
When you've got 32GB of data you want to share between your Windows install and your Linux install. Say, your MP3 collection?
Put this on your Windows install and make your common data-storage area ext2 or ext3 instead. If you start slinging around large (>2GB) files on a regular basis like I do, you won't have to worry about splitting/combining files.
...that the submitter (and editors, if the submitter forgets) put in a brief explanation of what Facebook is, and why we (the readers) should care about it? I have a vague idea of what SimplyHired is/does (it's kinda obvious from the name) and the article does manage to refer to Visible Path as a "social networking site." As it stands, the article is about as useless as a post about a new version of $OBSCURE_SOFTWARE_PACKAGE that doesn't bother saying what $OBSCURE_SOFTWARE_PACKAGE is or what it does.
Some of the earlier posts indicate that it's yet another social-networking type of site, aimed at college students. For those of us who now work for a living, would it have been too much to ask to mention that in the article?
Have a neighbor that bought the plasma and upgraded to Cox digital, not Cox HiDef, Cox digital. He's spent and doesn't want to go through with any hassle anymore
It's not like it's that much of a hassle: you go to the nearest office and swap out the SD box for an HD box. They even throw in a component-video cable (12', IIRC) in case you don't already have one. The box also has DVI and FireWire outputs; the latter is what I use to feed HD to MythTV.
www.handango.com (I assume it's everywhere, Tulsa gets a lot of things dead last) Buy movie tickets online
You meant fandango, not handango, right? handango.com sells Palm OS apps. fandango.com sells movie tickets.
(I don't know how that's supposed to work on your phone, though. On your computer, it generates a ticket to print out and take with you. Most cell phones, last time I checked, don't have built-in printers.)
Try and put a good Cisco WiFi card in the mini-pci slot of a HP, Compaq, or IBM laptop. "Unauthorized wireless network card detected. System halted..."
What? I have a perfectly good Cisco WiFi card in the mini-PCI slot of my IBM laptop. It has always worked perfectly. Please elaborate.
I tried swapping out the Broadcom-based WiFi NIC in my HP L2000 with an Atheros-based NIC I bought from an eBay seller. I wanted to get WiFi working under Linux, and neither ndiswrapper nor the native Broadcom driver work worth a damn. I have an Atheros-based CardBus NIC for my old notebook, and madwifi works well with it, so I figured madwifi would work with a MiniPCI NIC in the newer notebook.
With the Atheros NIC installed, the machine wouldn't even POST. With the Broadcom NIC (or no NIC) installed, it fires right up.
Now that I have CardBus working on the L2000, I can use the CardBus NIC in it under Linux and the built-in NIC under Windows, but I'd rather have one NIC that works with both.
Excepting a handful of latitudes, anyone who can afford a heat pump and doesn't get one ought to do the rest of us a favor and just off themselves right now
Heat pumps can only maintain at most a 30-degree (or so) difference between indoor and outdoor temperature. When the outdoor temperature goes much below 30 or above 110 (one or the other of these is likely nearly anywhere you go), you're going to be pretty miserable if you're stuck with a heat pump.
The Sony Ericsson series of cellphone-cameras have always been of excellent quality.
All of them? The camera on my T610 was pretty crappy...poor contrast, poor low-light performance, and fuzzy details (though that last one might've just been a function of the camera's low resolution--352x288, or some similar oddball number).
I have a DI-624, "C" revision. I read the article, but it doesn't give enough detail as to the extent of the affected devices.
I'd assume that all versions of the named devices are affected. My parents have a rev. E DI-604. Under the Tools tab in the web interface, there's a Time section. The default setting is to sync with an NTP server from the built-in list every hour. You can plug in the name of an alternate NTP server to use (such as us.pool.ntp.org) and select a different sync interval (such as 24 hours) to fix this.
The better option, of course, would be for D-Link to have more sensible settings as defaults in its products. I just fixed the settings on my parents' router a few minutes ago after reading this article. It's probably just as well that I didn't buy another DI-604 to replace the el-cheapo router I had been using at home (I ended up getting a Linksys WRT54GL instead).
You could also end up with junk faxes (or any other kind of call) by someone else with a different number transposing two digits and handing out your phone number. I keep getting calls from some collection agency for someone I've never heard of. I've had my phone number for nearly 16 years. A flubbed phone number is about all I can think of that would explain the calls.

This guy works for Google, and he didn't use Googlemail?
Isn't that like working for GM and you drive a Ford? Or how about you work for Toyota and you drive a 1957 Belair because "I hate fuel injection".
I've just learned that modern versions of the wrt54G are vxworks based, but the old versions are still out there that are linux based
That old version is still sold new as the WRT54GL. I just bought one yesterday, after a little in-store googling to figure out the differences between all of the WRT54G* models.
...especially for a dinky little tin-can hybrid. Unless it has the turn radius of a Mack truck, I'd expect it should be easy to park one of those anywhere. It would make more sense to put a system like this on a larger vehicle.
Totally wrong! Heard of kevlar? Five times stronger than steel for the same total weight.
Yes, I've heard of it. How much more expensive would it be to produce, though? Could body panels, chassis components, etc. be made of Kevlar in a cost-effective manner and in sufficient quantities for your average automaker to continue pumping out anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of cars per year at a price most people can afford?
One of steel's production advantages is that it can be quickly stamped into complex shapes. I suspect that Kevlar would have to be laid up in a mold, like fiberglass or carbon composites. That might work for a high-dollar, low-production-volume vehicle like the Corvette (which has used a fiberglass body since its introduction in the early '50s), but I'd have doubts over whether it could scale sufficiently for your average grocery-getter.
I'd love a car that can go 100 MPG, travel at less than the current max speeds (who the hell goes at 160mph?!) and not cost me $2000 in repairs for a fender bender.
Good luck with that...you have contradictory goals there. You're only getting to 100 mpg if you make nearly the entire car out of plastic, but a car that's made that way falls apart if you just look at it funny.
I was out and about in my '77 Olds a few months ago when I was sideswiped by a late-model Nissan. The only damage to my car was some scuffed paint, which I fixed with a $16 clay bar and some elbow grease. The other car had its right rear quarter panel bashed in; that'll cost considerably more than $16 to fix.
Where's your URL? Are you too lazy to google for it, or are we supposed to just take you at your word? Besides, my own cite (also from BLS) said otherwise.
YOU FAIL IT.
As of February 2006, unemployment was at 4.8%.
Meaning 4.8% of the workforce is drawing unemployment benefits.
If your mindset wasn't of the glass-half-empty variety, you would see that as 95.2% of the working-age population is gainfully employed. There's almost always some number of people between jobs (career changes or whatever), and then there are jobsworths like you who wonder why they can't keep a job for any length of time.
Fifty percent of working-age adults in the U.S. are not employed in full-time "permanent" jobs.
As the AC said, where's your source? As of February 2006, unemployment was at 4.8%. My source is here. Put up or shut up.

BSG isn't available in HD. SciFi doesn't have an HD feed, AFAIK.
Your VCR doesn't automatically adjust itself when a show changes timeslots.
Your VCR doesn't know the difference between a new episode and a rerun.
Your VCR doesn't know that some shows appear on multiple channels.
Your VCR doesn't delete old shows to make room for new recordings.
In short, your VCR is old and busted. PVRs like TiVo and MythTV are the new hotness.
Cygwin would've fixed that, and it would override Windows ping's nasty habit of stopping after four pings (unless you included the -t option).
Define "nobody." It played just fine here, on an AMD64 Linux box with mplayer and Firefox's mplayer plugin.
