I believe there was a turntable in the late eighties that did that. The record stayed still while the tonearm tracked linearly from the out side in and rotated the record. Couldn't find anything on google about it though. I think it might have been a Bang & Olufsen.
Of course, I'm just taking a stab - could be wrong.
Actually, because of centrifugal force and gyroscopic forces a spinning disk is inherently stable, and resistant to any turbulence or wobble. Likewise, the aerodynamic crossection of a hardrive platter is pretty negligle. Flywheels often spin at several times the speed of sound, often well over 60,000 rpm using disks measured in feet. Most operate in a vacuum condition, where there is nothing to turbulate. If a flywheel breaks vacuum suddenly the efffects might be catastrophic, The energy released during the failure of a 1 kW-h flywheel is enough to lift a mid-size car 100 feet into the air

Actually I think this is quite clever. For the most part corporate PC's only are using a fraction of the available HD space. Ie. 3.5 gigs out of 20. This systems could allow for multiple copies of all files on multiple computers.
Prohibition has also been wildly successful and popular in other problem domains, including...
* Alcohol
* Marijuana
* Cocaine
* Crack-type Cocaine
* Heroin
* LSD
* Ecstacy
* Child Pornography
* Pornography
* Sex
* Cuban Cigars
You know you are right, lets just legalize any amount of anything... And see how it all works out.
It's probably as good as anything else Russia's government has produced in the last 10 years.
Kinda rude.... Russia has maintained her space program, despite the inability of the government to afford it. We have cut the living shit outta ours also, and Nasa hasn't been having such a great time with it. Mars?
Russia should be commended for trying a cool idea. reusing ICBM's and creating cheap spacecraft seems like a good idea...Too bad
My Linux box reports a number of attacks against the FTP server and Apache each day
Perhaps the reason Linux gets more attacks reported is that Unix has very good logging and nix admins actually read their logs and report attacks. I knew some Nt administrators even in very big operations that never read their log files. Personally I thing the the script kiddies just scan and hit whatever they can. A linux box might be more useful once the it is compromised, but that is another issue.

Scott, I really like Andromeda aand will continue to use it. What I probly will do is put a password on it and take public access away. The only thing that would prevent me from running both publically is bandwidth.
Thanks again Scott, I linked to Andromeda so that people would try it. I recommend every one run the PHP version on top of Apache like me. (in the spirit of open source of course)
Downloaded and tried it a few minutes ago. The system set to default settings found three streams. They all seemed to stream well, I liked the "Soma Tribute" stream alot. All in all everything works as advertised. I'm (easily?) impressed with what they have done. But more content is needed, more people need to put up "stations."
maybe look into something that costs $10 or something Very true, look how much a piece of shareware like winzip gets pirated. But I do wonder if in some cases pirating actually increases sales by increasing the user base of some software. If every copy of pirated office were never to exist if cheapskates would have used something else.
Maybe we should just accept that most people still consider it a victimless crime.
I got an old HP Laserjet II you can take out to a field if you want I have to say, that I like Laserjet II's better than any other other office machine. My old one is still chugging away at my father's office. I once saw one fall out of the back of a van onto concrete and still work, so beating one properpy will take a lot of work. Just like in Office Space, it is the fax machines that have driven me nuts in every office I ever worked at. I have also had some computers I would loved to gice a good beating.
I used to know the owner of a cable company. He used to scream and yell about how everybody was stealing from them, and the government was raping them. Cable companies are super paranoid about losing a dollar anyway. If you have ever seen the cable commercials that ask you to turn you your neighbors in for cable theft. Yet they have managed to raise rates on us, and restrict service further.
Epilogue - He sold his share in the cable company a couple years ago, for 90 million dollars. And this was a "small" cable co. in West-Virginia.
Whatever, I kinda run with that crowd. The Bushes have a place next door to one of my parent's places. Anyway, I would Fuck the shit out of either of GWB's daughters. They are both dumb as rails, but hot as hell. Rich dumb, and from a rich dumb family that will set you up for life, doesn't sound too bad. I sleep with Micheal Bloomberg's daughter on and off, (swear to god) but maybe I should aspire for a presidential daughter. Last thing I need is to get busted bringing one of Bush's kids into a bar.
Well it would be nice to be detached enough from reality, that your grandchildren's grandkids would not have to worry about money. Yet GWB is a crook anyway.....
While I agree that AG really did start shoving spyware down its users throats, you had many alternatives to the "official" AG satellite. The source was free, and there were several third-party satellites that didn't have spyware. I don't think they were really money grubbing as you suggest, but they needed to earn money somehow in order to support the servers and pay thier salaries. AG could have folded long ago due to bankrupcy.
AG was the best system for music, nothing else can match its organization and variety without having a central server. Decentralized P2P can never match centralized P2P.

Did you know that you can reduce the maximum speed of your cdrom drive?
Nero Burning Rom comes with utility to change the speed too.

Jeez real old, I heard about this in March on NPR. Seems like a lame brain publicity stunt.

There will be discounts for residents and exemptions for certain professions.
If I was London right now, I'd join a union.

Then again, maybe their aim is so off that we would have all survived a WW3
This just in, Canada brutalized by Russian nuclear weapons... 10 dead. Film @ 11...

Undoubtably if some Russian engineer had remembered to put batteries in the GPS, the mission would have been a "success."
Losing a spacecraft is bad

I'll be taking down my andromeda server and replacing it with a Peercast stream in the next few days.
Tell you figured out a way for it to play DivX and I will be really impressed.
gene sequences from a mail-order supplier. I wonder if I can find one on Ebay

I used to have a college radio show, we had Denon players that had pitch controls. That was quite a while ago too, 96 or 97.

I ain't witty nough, to sig for ya.
Well, I'm also a little too old for them. And I am not a member of the Mayflower pact.
Didn't say I could, but I would if could.
I always though Dick Clark was born in 1852.
I though Slashdot was boycotting all the reg required sites except for the NYT. Seriously, thanks Ali Jenab, for a working registration. Mod him up.
