I feel SATA drives are good because you don't have to worry about a master/slave drive setup where one drive may hog the bus, whether it's another optical or hard disk. I don't think many companies make them and I'd rather get something like the NEC 4550/3550 or Pioneer 110(D). You can always get an adaptor but that would drive up the cost, sometimes 100+% of what the drive costs.
There is a prompt. I tried this under VMWare Player and FF1.0.7 displays a dialog box that asks me if I wanted to use wmffile (default) to display this file. When I click OK it installed the programs.
Not totally true. You lose thumbnails, but you should be able to double-click and launch whatever program set to view/edit your files. Just make sure your filetype association is correct.
If I have financial reports that are due for release or I have the latest procedure on how to treat avian flu stored on my computer and the rootkit bluescreens and corrupts my data, yes, it may kill me or other people. All depends on the criticality of the data I have on my system.
One thing I immediately noticed was the graphics card will not block adjacent slots. With a slight mod (some shroud) you can probably piggyback the main CPU's fan stream and not need a fan on the graphics card.
I'm not so sure. Back when OS X 10.3 was current during late 2004, I was transferring some files from an older OS X box to an iBook and compared to transfer rates between the older OS X box and a Windows Server 2003 box, the iBook had something like 35-50% better throughput than from the Windows box. This was for a very large transfer of around 1GB (100baseT).

Probably a first for a software company. Hewlett-Packard Company (the old one before HP-Agilent split) used to do that, too; recognized that its employees are one of its most valuable assets.
Definitely a pain-in-the-butt, but I wonder if it's easier to remove than its Windows counterpart. Or did this other company modify other system files, which will break OS X if the below is done?
Reboot into single-user mode via Cmd-S They're probably in/System/Library/Extensions, so... cd/System/Library/Extensions mv PhoenixNub*/tmp reboot
The funny thing is that I have a Sony SLV-R5UC S-VHS VCR that had its power supply capacitors fail way back in the mid 1990s. Guess what? These were Nichicons.
If it's for learning and people have root, why put it on this server if you don't want people to learn from it??
Still want to do it? Move this perl code to another box and call it via RPC.
I read that the problem is the pins on the motherboard (although well-protected) are not designed for repeated insertions/extractions. I can see the logic with that, each of the pins have a tiny spring that press against a pad on an LGA CPU.

Stop using cheap (rather than inexpensive, but good) media. Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim are good brands.

Well, I was wrong. :)
Once I rebooted, Preview stopped working.

I suppose one either is too cautious or tend to stick one's head in the sand.

Go away Sony/F4I fanboy/employee.
Does this mean that EULAs are legally binding then?
How about "leaving an invisible land mine"?
A good reputation is difficult to gain, easy to lose.
We should have RIAA/MPAA executives and members of the U.S. government who advocate this brain implant, development, alpha, and beta test the product.

How can you say that? Santa Claus's wealth is "infinite" according to the article.

Trust me, I do it every day at home.
So those guys are pirates. Pirates I tell you!!

/System/Library/Extensions, so ... /System/Library/Extensions /tmp
/tmp/PhoenixNub*
Reboot into single-user mode via Cmd-S
They're probably in
cd
mv PhoenixNub*
reboot
If things work,
rm -fr
But that's the article pertaining the botched espionage capacitors from Taiwan, not these from Japan.

Yup. The first Sony DVD players were top-notch (DVPS-7000 and DVPS-7700). Third-generation and beyond went downhill.

Unfortunately, a defined standard that's not used by everyone doesn't really make it good one. I'm currently using Oracle 9i.
