Well, trust me, any areas where TWC is using *telconameremovedbecauseimnotallowedtotalkaboutthe companyiworkfor* to provide phone numbers / switching, you're providing 911 service.:-)
Of course, software RAID is only 95% as fast as hardware raid if you're doing nothing with the data. If your primary CPU is 100% in use by a high priority task, you may find that the HD speed suffers under SW RAID.
That's the way (roughly) TimeWarner's 911 service works. You register a physical address for response in case of 911 calls and the phone provider they work with registers this with the number in the ILEC's 911 database for that area. When you dial 911, the address associated with your number pops up. Just like when you dial with a landline. You just better tell them if you're not at home. (don't ask me how I know this)
Um, no, it does not have to do with waste but with individual interest (short term) being in conflict with the common good (long term). Most often in the abuse of resources. The tragedy of the commons tells us that "when individuals use a public good, they do not bear the entire cost of their actions. If each seeks to maximize individual utility, he ignores the costs borne by others." The economy in general (your small-town's local economy) is public property. Essentially what I was saying is that we shop at WalMart because we do not weigh the entire cost to us and others in the long term when we do so. We do not take care of the economy (public property) because it belongs to everyone so it is someone else's problem.
To be honest, it's NOT WalMart that causes this (if it even really happens). It is the customers who do it to themselves. If we are all so price-conscious (read: cheap) that we shut down all the local shops in our home town... let's just say that we reap what we sow. The tragedy of the commons and all that jazz.
Nope, this won't end passwords. For security, you have the following 3 options: something you have (smart card, signature), something you know (password, passphrase, PIN) and something you are (fingerprint, retina scan). For non-vital information (your hotmail account), choose one. For important information (medical, financial) choose two. For vital information (mission-critical applications, ICBM firing mechanisms) use all 3.
Since we're statistically likely for these 3 to have average ability they'd still be far ahead of the cast.
Just kidding, of course. Seriously though, instead of offering the roles to winners they could offer them to something like make-a-wish. Make them standing walk-on roles.
When my HS put new security software on their computers I got around it with a bit of social engineering. I created a fake company email address and emailed the creators of the software. I told them that I was interested in how to temporarily disable their software without shutting off the computer because we used the software at my business and I occassionally needed to bypass the security. They told me a back door. Simple as that.
Good idea but there's a much better solution than building self-mirroring drives. Do you really want to put 2 entirely seperate platter stacks, interfaces, ATA sockets, power connectors, motors, etc in a single drive? You've still introduced a single point of failure in the "internal interface that allows one to mirror the other." Why not just start creating stackable 1/2 height drives? It is essentially the same thing except I can buy just 1 if I want and additionally I can have odd numbers (possibly for RAID 3, 5, 30, 50).
Yeah, I moved to OH a few years back and I really miss the 24/7 Autozone back in Buffalo, NY where I used to live. Nothing like being able to run out at 3:00AM when you have just diagnosed the bad starter on the car you have to drive to work in the morning.
I've got 3.0.2 and I still get 20-30 spam/day. What am I doing wrong? I've got Bayes turned on and pretty much all the rules at their defaults (except a few where I turned up the score because they would definitely be SPAM). It's checking spamcop, DCC, Pyzor, Razor and I still get a fair amount of spam (especially Rolex stuff). Any suggestions?
Hey, I'm not saying it's not a good thing - just telling it like it is (actually, I'm likely to be Jim Urbanite moving to the country in 3-5 years when I sell my city home). Personally, I wish the FCC would approve some of the reliable wireless link hardware so that we could all save some money on providing service to people way out in nowheresville (me included it that so happens) - and they'd get their service installed faster too.
Yes, and it does. That's where the "Federal Grants" the parent speaks of come from. They aren't actually grants - it is a fund into which we all pay and from which telcos dip to provide Jim Urbanite who moved 30 miles out in the middle of nowhere and now demands phone service with a $500K copper loop.

If i'm an average joe, my first question is 'why should i use open-source?" not where do i get it from?
Wrong answer. If you're average Joe then your first question is "How much does it cost?" That is followed by "Is it really free?" followed by either "Cool" if you understand or "I don't trust them" if you don't. People don't need a thing in order to want it. It simply has to exist (at least in the consumer market we live in today).
If you improve some GPL software (even if you don't) you can sell it for profit but you must include the source and the GPL license with every copy (or an offer to provide said items). You do not need to give anything to the original authors (though they would probably appreciate a donation). If anyone buys the software from you they can then sell it just like you are selling yours (or they can give it away for free).
I would think that calling it a firing mechanism rather than a trigger would indicate that I'm talking about something like an intercontinental ballistic missle - not your shotgun. Perhaps with all the morons promoting "gun control" these days that was a foolish assumption. Obviously, the need to immediately defend ones self outweighs the possiblity of unauthorized use when talking about a personal firearm. The opposite is true for a 25-megaton nuclear warhead.
Just make a direct connection to anyone before you say anything you don't want recorded. And use a client like Trillian (require they use the same) and turn on SecureIM so it is encrypted. Now, if he has logging on it's still on his computer so you're still in trouble but at least a middle-man isn't in the mix.

Heck, if these anti-theft devices force you to return the cart to one of those cart corals instead of leaving it where the wind or an anoying kid are going to bang it into my car and dent it, I'm all for them. I've never had my car hit by a cart at Aldi Grocery Store because there's a $.25 deposit to get a cart. Woohoo - shopping without dents!
Well, $50mil and essentially first shot at $1B in contracts... yeah, that's enough of a prize. Yes, they may select someone other than the winner to give their $1B in contracts too but if the competitors are as far apart as they were on the X Prize, that probably won't happen.

I suppose one way or the other, you're bound to win.
