Until and unless you can get any power generation technology simple enough that it rivals a toaster in complexity, I will take centralized facilities any day.
Think about how many people electrocute themselves when trying to retrieve bread from a toaster with a fork.

How about the fact that reading an analogue clock requires the brain to be able to translate symbols into information. This is not a bad thing. Wherease digital gives it straight and doesn't require you to use your brain for anything other than thinking "oooohh pretty".
Numbers aren't symbols any more? I never got that memo.
Another issue you have to think about, when dealing with a 10 year time frame for hard drives, is the interface issue. After all, could *you* actually read a disk from 10 years ago, when MFM, RLL and ESDI drives were popular? Can you even buy a controller for those drive types anywhere?
I bought a WD Caviar 2120 with a manufacture date of 11/23/1992 a few weeks ago. I shut down my computer, installed the drive, powered it up, and it appeared just fine.
My Win2k workstation has 31 days 7 hours 33mins of uptime as of this point. Would have been 53days except for that damn power outage. A solid month and Morrowind. What more can I ask for?:)
Its never been IF the drives fail (I've hung lots of opened up drives on my cubicle wall,) but WHEN. And nobody has EVER addressed that issue properly.
As long as hard drives have moving parts, they're going to fail. Think about it. Everything that moves is eventually going to fail. Washing machines eat your clothes and die, cars break down, people get old, even the Earth's rotation is slowing. Untill we get solid state hard drives, it's allways going to be a matter of when
Regardless of size, the next hard drive I get will be "full" (at 90% of capacity) within the next 5 months.
I've seen this with every hard drive I've owned from the 500MB hard drive that came with my 486, to the 20GB hard drive I bought last December. And nothing stops it either. The best CD-RW did was slow it some. You start getting files that you just *can't* bear to take off the disk and the disk, so the disk fills up. So I'm quite sure that I'll find some way to fill a 120TB hard drive within 5 months.
On a loudspeaker, only one song can be played at any one time.
::loads an audio CD into his CD-RW drive:: ::loads another audio CD into his DVD drive:: ::hooks up the line in cable to his CD-RW drive:: ::starts playing both CD's::
I have a horrible noise that sounds like two songs playing at the same time coming over my speakers that would like to disagree with you on that.
Since you'll be indistinguishable from a clone, how are you going to identify the rightfull owner of your DNA ? Oh that's easy. I'd be at least 19+(n+0.75)[where n is the age of the clone]years older then my clone was. Remember: Life is not like Star Trek. I can't just have a transporter accident and have an instant duplicate of myself whipped up.

You did, and it was comcast
Don't worry, there's no such thing as two.
This is probably why they're not more popular.
More popular than what?
The preventative for cancer is to have cells that replicate perfectly, or to not have cells that replicate.
So what you're really trying to say is that vampirism is a viable means to prevent cancer.
I think you mean, "slow down cowboy"

Currently B, F, H, and M-roots have IPv6 addresses.
But lets see, to get my own domain address, at least $75[...]
You need to stop shopping in 1998. Prices have gone down since then.

Looking at the SOA, it's a week before "." expires and B through M stop answering with authority for the root zone.
anyway, I hate people that are angry about telemarketers... just tell them "put me on your do not call list" before they have a chance to bother you
Please enlighten me on how to do this before they start calling. By the time the phone starts ringing, they have already started bothering me.
Apple has used AMD chips even before that. My Macintosh SE (from 1987) has an AMD SCSI controller in it.
If you use a modem, you get 250ms of lag straight away.

Or...you can use the clipboard. It accepts handwriting input with 100% efficiency and no interpretation errors.
That's because the interpretation errors come later. (At least with my handwriting.)

CD's need to be dissolved in acid to be truly unrecoverable and Zip disks are relatively difficult to break into.
Acid? All you really need is a microwave.
Well, it's not something he's going to have to worry about, since there is no such thing as 'negative distance'.
There are no moving parts in todays keybeards.
There are, however, moving parts in today's keyboards. (Or at least the keys seem to move up and down as I press them.)
