Fibre Channel is a protocol, not a cable (that's why it's not spelled Fiber). In fact, high end systems DO have copper based FC connections. They are great for shorter runs - the EMC Clariion uses copper cables between it's disk shelves to interconnect them. The CX3 series is running 4GB end-to-end and no issues with copper interconnects.
The problem with those protocols (ATAoE, etc) is using ethernet it's only a broadcast domain - no segmentation or isolation (i.e. any host could connect to any storage). FC Protocol is similar to TCP/IP but much more efficient and better suited to storage.
The biggest problem I've seen using USB drives is they don't spin down, so it shortens their lives. I know a few of the Western Digital external cases do, but most don't.
I was dong some work in Austin, TX two weeks ago and saw it every commercial break during some periods. I couldn't believe it myself - all "political" ads like this just say "don't understand it, just be against it". Sad part is it works.
Take up smoking - then you can have a 20 minute break every hour but be paid for the whole hour. As a bonus you get to piss off us non-smokers that get paid the same as you do for doing 1/3 less work (and that's now you make MORE money!).

I had worked in a large farm before - they name it by location/shelf/customer type. For example, company FOO's web server might be : fooweb2-3-4 (section 2 shelf 3 slot 4).
Why I went with a REPLAY-TV, because why should I have to pay for them to send me the channel listings when they are making money hand-over-fist off of their marketing info. Think about it - they get money from the subscribers and those who want to know what the subscribers are doing. Phleaze..
A friend of mine in High School loved to ride BMX bicycles and worked in the local shop. Lots of young kids used to come in and ask him stupid questions and bug him to try to be cool like they though he was. One day a particular kid was really obnoxious asking all sorts of questions about how he wanted his bike to work just so, to which my friend, getting sick of this kid, finally said, "I know the problem, but we can't fix it. Go to XXX bike shop and tell them there's a nut loose behind the handlebars". Shop XXX was about 3 miles away down very busy roads. The next day he gets a realy nasty call from Shop XXX because apparently the kid didn't catch the joke and went up there to bug those guys.
Ok, a walkman works by mechanical means to rewind/fastforward, and a 32K machine can't store all the pictures. No way to "wire" a walkman to receive a signal to rewind or fast forward, so it's obviously bogus (sorry - had to state the obvious).
they distributed the magizine (enquirer) in California? The concept I don't see mentioned is the fact that the contents of a web site are PULLED TO your browser, not PUSHED TO your browser. So, for anyone in California to see the information on the web site, they have to request FROM THE WEB SERVER the information. Just a thought...

consider non-brand names like segar, prostar, or winbooks. I got a few years ago a top of the line pro-star that had a 14.1", DVD, 128M mem, 466MHZ processor (that was the top) for over $1200 less then the brand names (i.e. DELL, IBM, etc...)
Just because the USB handles higher speed doesn't mean you'll get it - IR is pretty slow. It's like people who pay extra for a 100Mb ethernet printserver - the printer is still connected via a slow <1M parallel connector, and thats how fast the printer will get the info.
No one want to pay for something that they aren't sure of it's quality. I mean, I'd be leary to pay any amount to read an article unless I knew it would be insightful and useful and something I couldn't find else where for free.
And the other thing is, the corporations want to make the net "for pay", but it has always had free commentary/news posted by individuals and probably always will. You can't force a business paradigm on something as open as news.
Unless it's sung, then the RIAA will controll it;)
And somewhat more obviously, attention comes to things that provide real utility. Customers paid plenty of attention to the car...
Another symptom of this "attention deficiency" is the fact that people DON'T pay attention when driving. Yes, they may pay attention to a pretty car, but one of the most troubling things I have seen in my (mumble) 16 years driving is people becoming less and less aware of their surroundings and paying less attention to the act of driving itself.
NPR had a piece talking about how operating cell phones while driving is dangerous and cited a study on how when people focus on one thing they block out other things. The study was they had students watch a basketball game on a TV and told them to watch the people in the yellow shirts. In the middle of the game, a person in an ape suit walked on the court, pounded his chest for about 5 seconds and walked off. The majority of the people never noticed the gorilla because they were intent on watching the game.
Because DNS isn't P2P, it's heiarchial. If one server goes down, you just loose resolution of that domain. With P2P, either all peers would have to have a copy, or it'd be unreliable.

Is there somewhere we could see your thesis? I imagine it'd be much more informative then the review here...
Wow... sunsolve has been "slashdotted". Good thing they're the "dot in dot com" ;)
More like comparing Apples to Orangutans I'd say. Not even the same species of hardware.

$90 for a 2.5" USB-ide drive case, $150 for a 20Gig laptop drive. For $250 for the carrier, get a Neo 25 MP3 player which also acts as a USB drive ;)
