Because a lot of people play video games and download music from their DOMAIN CONTROLLER. I don't think so. If someone is doing this, they probably haven't applied a patch in years and I can into their machine using any documented security hole.
#1) Sun's support organization. It is second to none. period, end of story. You have a problem, they fix it. I had a failed disk earlier this week, the support rep's first response was to send a tech on site that day.
I bet you are paying out the nose for support, then. I just have them send the DISK. I'm (on an Intel platform) using RAID5 with an online spare, so when a disk fails, they send a replacement and I send the old one back.
#4) the hardware seems to last forever and ever and ever. And sun supports the stuff for a long time. Every try and get dell to support a six year
old box? yeah, good luck.
Hell, I can't get Dell to support a six MONTH old box, but they didn't build the processor, or the motherboard, or the CDROM, or the hard disk, or the video card, or... must I go on... That being said, I have a 486 that's still running (albeit not quickly).
#3) It just works. I dont get the "what glib are you using", "is that rev XYZ of that nic?" or any of that other crap.
You don't get that with Microsoft!:-)
Don't get me wrong, I like Sun stuff. I even own stock! But there are uses for everything, Intel, Sun, even Macs!
I just find all these platform Jihads humorous.
Lodestone is comprised of iron ore. Lookup Ceramic and you will see it means molded and baked. So if your assertion that ceramics have existed for all time, then we can postulate that humans have existed for all time. This is ludicrous. You got your Masters (in Ceramics? yeah, right) from where? CrakerJack University?
I think you mean I *S* S. International Space Station. IIS is Internet Information Server, which is made by Microsoft. Watch those TLAs. (TLA = Three Letter Acronym)
I think they meant that the surguery could kill you. Anytime you poke something in your brain, it has the potential to turn out bad. They could however, use the MRI to scan for the patterns, just like they used the MRI to record where it was happening, they just need a more sensitive MRI.
If you don't agree with the laws that he broke, that fine... let's discuss that. But here's my argument (see my sig)... I should be able to do just about anything on my PC, but when I start doing things to OTHER people's machines, that's where I am for laws.
OK, he broke the law, he got arrested. If he had been wearing a flag shirt and reading the Wall Street journal, none of us would have seen this. Since his views are anarchistic, he's "being censored" or repressed or whatever media buzzword you want to use to make up a reason to run a story that doesn't matter. Throw him in jail and move on.
All you have to do is buy one of those fuel cell batteries. Except instead of the "clean burning" fuel cell fluid, fill it with diesel.
The only problem is these "quantum afterburners" are probably not going to be light... or small... or cheap... and they'd stop you at the airport and take it apart thinking it was a bomb, and then you'd be out a lot of money. Did you know they sell extra batteries for laptops? Maybe that's a better route!:-)
It can detect even the finest-milled, weapons-grade biohazards from 50 feet, long before the risk of inhalation or cutaneous infection, by testing for the distinctive surface leptins.
Hmm, if there are enough in the air for this imaginary device to detect, then wouldn't I be breathing them in? Especially if it is in a "woman's purse, or a child's backpack."
It's called a server rack. You want to add a web server? Buy a 1U "brick" and plug it in. To get to what you are talking about, all we need is a standardized hot swappable bus that runs along a backplane, so that you plug in a 1U server and it docks (similar to a laptop) and with that one hot swap connection has electricity, network, and KVM connection. That'd be cool, the worst thing about rack servers is going behind them and rummaging through the tangle of wires. A standardized rack bus would be great!
Yes, I remember downloading the "Script" for the Star Trek Generations off the net before it came out. It was so accurate! It seems every big "geek" movie or movies that have a big following have these things pop up that are usually not close to the REAL script. I don't know if it is someone being an ass, or the movie studio trying to create hype, but either way, it's pretty stupid.
How exactly does putting this "copy protection" scheme on the discs circumvent the taxes? If I go into a store and tell them I'm trying to copy these "protected" CDs are they going to refund my taxes? NO. This is an ADDITIONAL method, not a REPLACEMENT method. Not that the DMCA doesn't contradict other laws (i.e. Fair Use) but your premise is flawed.
Me: "Ah... I couldn't do it in less than 3 months captian." Boss: "I need in 2 at the latest!" (6 weeks later) Me: "It was rough, but I'm finished!" Boss: "You're a genius!"
Actually, you tell him the real time, and he assumes you are padding and wants it twice as fast!
I couldn't agree more. I've been using WordPerfect since DOS days, and I've never found anything better. I just wanted to add that (since you have been trying to use Word) WordPerfect does a pretty good job of handling the conversion. Some of the formatting may be lost, but most of it will be fine. I typically write my documents in WordPerfect, then import into Word, fix what it messed up on import, and then save. (Word is a little more prolific.) Also, if I am not mistaken, WP will save as HTML, too.
The theory you speak of...
And how is it, sir, that you know which theory I speak of? Your post assumes there is but one theory of multiverse. This is incorrect. There are many theorys about multiple universes, in fact, the very theory ITSELF, if true, dictates that there MUST be more than one theory of multiverse, because a different conclusion could, and therfore must, exist! Feynman, therefore, is not the end all, be all of multiverse theory.
As for the statement that you "prefer reality to Star Trek," I assume you meant this reality, because, according to a theory of multiverse, there exists a universe where Star Trek IS the reality.:-) Something to ponder!
At my company we have a card printer that we use to make ID badges with. These badges have antenna that work like the alarms on meat at the grocery store or CDs, so when we approach the door, it unlocks. To get in the server room, you swipe your badge and it reads a magnetic strip. For the hourly employees they scan a barcode to clock in/out. We only have the barcoding and magnetic striping options in ours, but there are expansions available for holographic watermarking, 3D barcoding and even embedded smart-chip programming. If they can mass produce them, someone can (and will) forge them. I DO NOT think this is a solution.
Unless you subscribe to the theory of a Multiverse in which there are many dimensions in which every possible event that could have happened did happen. (I think they did it on ST:TNG once with a rift in the space-time continuum.)
But then, that would be silly. Although perhaps a reality exists where it isn't silly.;-)
Ok, point taken.:-) However, if it is clear, they wouldn't NEED to open it up. Actually they are always suspicious of electronics. I always have to turn on my laptop, cell, and digital camera to show they are operational.

Thanks for your intelligent post. It is people like you that really add value to the/. community. As I stated in reply to the first comment, that statement was a humorous remark. But thanks for trolling.

These guys in Nebraska did it. They made plastic magnets, just not very high yield yet.
