I had to deal with an Indexing Service security issue last week.
Seems the guy that handles the website content got upset when Indexer, well, Indexed the website, finding some content that was a little more sensitive then he wanted out there.
(It's what happens when your contractor migrates your data, then neglects to remove the temp data when the migration is done, I guess.)
I doubt that's an issue. My Xbox can rescale video on the fly and play surround sound. That's, effectively, a 700 Mhz Celeron with a 100 mb/s network wire.
You need to see what else is running on your powerbook as my 1ghz G4 iBook has no issues doing this.
Shaking aereates the mix. You don't want to do that with gin as you lose all the nifty stuff that makes it gin to the atmosphere. You wanna keep it in the drink.
Of course, Martinis are such [wonderfully] hideous things that if you manage to develop a taste for it one way, you may not like it the other.
I kicking jackasses like you in the proverbial crotch.
Kick higher, you're hittin' my shins. I made the same claims 6 months before I bought the iBook. Afterwards, I noted that it's not that bad. I like using a scroll mouse on the laptop, but I can function very well without it so I don't have to lug one around. Golly, a second mouse button on a laptop...sounds like what the command button IS, only in a different place.
I'd have already purchased a Powerbook if the gherkin jerks at Apple would offer a two button option in lieu of the normal single button lunacy.
Pity you're missing out on a good laptop for one single idiosyncrasy. Somehow, I doubt Apple cares about your opinion. And don't go translatin' for me, you don't know me well enough.
I know this is a joke, but are there any good arguments FOR the one-button mouse?
This is obviously a comment from someone who hasn't tried it.
I spent the first two or three weeks with my iBook using just the one button trackpad and the keyboard. Chording Command and Ctrl has become second nature and it really IS a good way to get around the OS.
As big a deal as people make about a 'one button mouse' just shows they haven't made the attempt to try it and are thus talking from an ill-informed position.
This isn't limited to microsoft 'tho. As an IT admin and security officer, it's a CONSTANT battle to get the custom app developers to do the RIGHT thing, rather than the EASY thing.
I can't tell you how many times http://server/application talks to the database with username: application, password: application.
It'd actually be used more for 'near-line' storage than direct editing. There's no reason to keep Virtual PC images, all pictures, and video on the main drive when it can be pushed off to the iPod when necessary.
I've noticed that the iPod runs much more efficiently on the iBook than it does hooked up to Firewire on a PC...it doesn't generate near the heat. (and is powered by the bus, which is a bonus.)
HD in the ibook IS upgradable, it's just a PITA, and will wait til this thing's out of warrantee and I _really_ need the space. It currently floats between 15 and 5 gb free out of 30.
I'd LOVE to use my 10gb-er as additional storage, as it's always in my bag with the iBook (which runs close to out of space if I'm video editing on the bus) But it's full of music. So, I'd imagine the ipod would do double duty, the more free space it's got.
Having dark capacity isn't surprising when you look at the economics.
1. Cost of laying a single strand of fiber: $12,000,000 NewYenRubles
2. Cost of laying 24 strands of fiber: $12,000,001 NewYenRubles
At the time I worked for the local DOT, they laid 22 odd strands of fiber down the major highways in town, and used the revenue generated from selling off fiber to halp fund the project. It's good for the DOT as it lowers costs, and it's good for Telco/ISP/whoever because they don't have to dig a seonc trench, obtain permission, rip up roads again, etc.
many many bandwidth issues that were HTML related were solved by incorporating proxys between the viewers and servers, I fail to see why you couldn't do the same with index.xml

They do that to update the store...aaaaand to not steal Steve's thunder.

Rule #0: If you're planning on screwing over your employer (an ethical conundrum all by itself), try not to use the employers resources to do so.
That means: keep the bits off their infrastructure. ALL of it.

Um Nooooo. You stir a _gin_ martini so as not to release the volatile oils that give it its flavor.
Vodka does not HAVE those oils, so you might as well shake away to enhance the thermodynamic transfer.
Try ordering two gin martinis, one shake and one stirred if ya don't believe me.

My Owner is a nearsighted, absentminded, prig.
I'll agree with everything you're saying EXCEPT:
Without Spike, I wouldn't have be exposed to Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.
I have NEVER laughed so hard.
FWIW, Spike's doing good with the automotive shows they're producing. (Yes, I'm serious.)

415 KB/sec...after 35 comments on Slashdot!
I was assuming it was really a 1.2 Tb box, not a 1.6Tb as the article stated.
And four times the chance of hardware failure!
Black Friday, CompUSA had 400 Gb drives for $290 after rebates. That's about $900. So is an external case worth an additional _2_grand?
So, do you still beat your wife? (Note to mods: read the parent, this isn't a troll.)
So, how does it feel to be one of the few that get asked to do a SECOND interview with Slashdot?
(I think i speak for a lot of us here that take great pleasure in watching your continued successes, keep up the outstanding work.)
