Ooh, sweet! Reminds me of the time I saw the load master cut away an ambulance hummer because it started to yaw to one side, threatening to destabilize the helicopter that was carrying it.

IBM 120GXP Revisited

· Score: 1
I could add evidence to this. One (non-IBM) 2GB HD I owned failed after a long service life, and due to a heat/cold problem. (If I booted up, I could get about 15 minutes of drive use, and then it would eventually heat up and fail. After allowing it to cool, I could do it again to get about 15 more minutes of file transfer.)
At any rate, after I got all of the data from the drive, I thought it would be an interesting thing to open up the drive and hook it all up (the HHD window mod minus the window). The drive worked with the top off, and while I was holding it in my hand. The OS booted, I screwed around with some read/writes, and then shut it down. After shutting down, the arm controlling the read head swung to the park position and made an audible 'tick'.
(I seem to remember the involvement of a Dremel after that...)
Actually, you're right, until we get an option to pay any way other than via PayPal. There're already other comments on this story about how PayPal isn't trustworthy. For any other information try out paypalwarning.com
...the number of wget attempts we get on our Apache web server from China Telecom is amazing. 99.9% of them are attempted proxy gets for some hits-for-money thing. Somehow we got on a list of hopeful open proxy servers (which we aren't) that 3 geniuses run through 17 - 20 times a day.
Do they really hurt us? No, not really. It simply clutters up our weblogs. Does it follow any acceptable use of the pay-per-impression system? Nope, not at all. It's annoying to pay real money for my service so some foreign kiddie can (attempt) to abuse it.
Consequently, the only domains we allow any sort of port 80 access from Asia/Pacific are the Aussies and Japan.
With the 40GB HD and the ethernet, wouldn't it be a small matter to get your PS2 on your home LAN and simply copy MAME and the ROMS over to the PS2's HD and run it from there?
I see the convenience of having a MAME DVD -a one-stop old school solution for your console for the people with no LAN.
Getting into a MAME distro with the ROMS included would most likely get into some sort of legal tar pit because of the whole "don't run this rom unless you own the firmware" deal that goes along with it.
While most research journals cost quite a lot, look at it this way:
1. Libraries have budgets for such things.
2. Grants are written at research universities to cover journals.
3. Bio-Tech companies have deep pockets.
As a researcher, there seems to be a more pressing issue that's passed over when comparing this to the RIAA/Money issue. In the research world, you either publish or parish. If you're an excellent professor (in the teaching sense), but you're unpublished, you're unknown. Your movement up the faculty ladder will stop simply because there won't be any more rungs for you to grasp.
When a Ph.D. submits a paper to a journal, many times he looses the ability to publish the paper in other journals. If you want to post it on your web site you've got to go to the journal and request it. If you want an article extract from the journal, you pay for it even if it's yours. There's even issues citing large parts of your previous papers as supporting evidence in future papers if you don't get permission from the journal who now owns the rights to your paper.
I write the grants for the project.
My graduate students' gain insight and knowledge by being pushed to think in new directions.
My undergraduate assistants spend long hours at the bench, doing PCR after PCR to collect data.
I simply don't see it where anyone but the authors on the paper should have any controlling rights to that paper.
I guess no one has ever heard of a temperature sensitive failure? Anyone? Bueller?
Have you ever had a computer crash due to some hardware failure, only to reboot and run for a short time after cooling off? I've had a couple of hard drives over the course of the last 14 years that cracked up like that, only to be revived for a short time if you cooled them down.
I haven't had any problems with my 60 or 75GXP IBM drives, and this may not be helpful in this particular failure method, but this has more validity than it sounds.
The Linux-IDE site has already been mentioned, but I thought it interesting to point out a particular part of it that hasn't been mentioned. This also follows up some of the "don't download 2.4.10 until proper credit is given" whiners.
Foreign Affairs is a mag that I recently subscribed to, and it covers not only foreign politics, but the implications.
I was unaware that they had an online version until a few moments ago. They have placed all of their articles pertaining to the politics of the attack in one area, and have made the full text free to non-subscribers. (link below)

One might propose that it is a "1.5," as in "1.5 Mbit/s." Isn't that the bandwidth for a T1?

I doubt you need a permit to do harm to yourself or your family.
You would probably need a permit and some safety inspections if you were to open it to the public.
I would imagine that it would fall under the same lines as the rides at a state fair would.
