Lame attitude. It is important to know what you are talking about when trying to diagnose a problem or use something complicated like a computer. If people use a car, they had better know the basics or they may end up putting motor oil in the windshield wiper fluid reservoir like my mother did. If you don't, you sound either uninformed or like an idiot or you risk doing something stupid that might cost you a lot of money.
Take the time to know the basics of the system you are using.
I used to stock thermoses with rancid milk to clear out class at Catholic school. Just let them sit in the back of the class locker for 3 months and pop one when you need one less Religion class to deal with in your life.
Why is this? When I first used my Drobo, I was getting 50 MBpS from the internal drive in my iMac to the Drobo. 13 MBpS is common. Yet, I have seen data transfer rates that drop down to 200 KBpS at times.
Do you have any idea why?
Be this as it is, my data is backed up and that's mainly what matters, though I would like to know what contributes to the occasional slowness.
I had a friend who runs a video codec company bragging to me about his RAID-5, until it died. I told him about my luck with the Drobo and he now has 2.
OH. And I had one drive in the Drobo fail and it told me that all my data was safe, just replace the failed drive. I did and everything was good again.
I get MASSIVE amounts of spam from the United Arab Emirates.
I have never been there and never intend to go there.
Do you think I opted in EVEN ONCE to these people who are claiming that I did?
If given the opportunity, I would volunteer to put a bullet in the heads of the people selling these lists and the people using them.
In no way do I want anyone who I do not know or anyone who I do know that I have not given permission to to email me with their solicitations for crap I never asked for.
Email is generally our daily conversations. If you were walking up and down the street talking to your friends and 10 people came up to you trying to sell their own crap to you, and then 10 more and then 10 more, pretty soon, you'd want to kill these people.
This type if communication/solicitation is presumptuous, rude, offensive, annoying and COMPLETELY UNWANTED.
I love some companies who feel the need to start emailing you simply after you bought something there once - and they never ask you if it's ok.
I wonder if some wingnut comes down with Explosive Ebola, I wouldn't be surprised if he identified the locations of Snotty Scotty and the like and mortars their houses.
Knowing America, I'm surprised it hasn't happened here already.
Opting out only validates that your email address is valid. It is a sucker bet.
These people are not honest. And even if 19 of them are and 1 is not, guess what he will do? Add your address to a list and sell his list of valid addresses for 49 dollars to all takers.
It doesn't make me a hypocrite. You can end a sentence with a preposition under certain circumstances. I did proof my work. If there is a problem with what I wrote, please point it out.
Examples follow: Please print that out. Is the radio on? Please point it out.
It's not high an mighty, it is simply paying attention to the details. You do pay attention to the details in your code don't you?
Lame. I'll bet you pronounce nuclear just like Bush as new-que-lurr. Look, if you don't pay attention to at least adhering to a simple standard, you'll look like sloppy to the people who do. Mastering grammar school English composition is a commendable achievement. But if you're going to be sloppy and not pay attention to the details, you inflict your lack of standards on everyone who has to read your work. It's a case of "if you want to look like a sloppy person who does not even proofread his own work, that's fine, but please keep it away from us who don't want to see your lack of attention to detail." Remember that you're penning/typing your message not for yourself but for others to read, you should at least be respectful of the people reading and proof your own work.
This is why I suggested a business minor, not a full fledged degree. I've been in software for 20 years and if I had a better grasp of the requirements of funding, the running of the business I would have had a distinct advantage during the '90s over just being the guy with all the technical solutions.

That's the executive summary I was looking for. Thanks much.
And this means what?
And in English, this means what exactly?
In parts of Africa, GPS coordinates in Google Earth are off by hundreds of miles.
GPF in Rainfall.exe. Abort, retry or ignore?
I'm so so so happy about this.
was it anything created by the Dharma Initiative?

Yes, it is because a dog smells like a dog. Dogs have supreme sniffing sensors when compared to ours.

Just FYI.

Drobo.

I have 2 of them and one has saved my butt.
After losing 7 hard drives behind a cheap surge protector after a lightning strike, I now have serial APS surge protectors and a 4.5 TB Drobo.
Format it for 8 TB and you can swap drives in and out as you need to move up in storage capacity.
It's pretty brainless to use. You just plug it in and let it do its job. Get the fast SATA drives.
New Nikons have VR and AF lenses.
Step 3?
PROFIT!
If you can build this in a Mac, you're a better person than I.
FYI, the required make file (/make-macosx-ub.sh) is in the download but not in the SVN branch, so the instructions for building fail for the Mac.
What if someone has forged the BofA email headers? Or the Yahoo headers. I've seen this all too often.
I get MASSIVE amounts of spam from the United Arab Emirates.

Thank you for that two year old news flash. I'm all caught up now on what happened in May of 2007
