As the quality of drives is getting worse, more people will be turning to RAID to protect their desktop storage. It's no coincidence IDE RAID is becoming more common on motherboards, and the hard drive manufacturers aren't going to shed a tear about selling twice as many drives.

now we can finally start working on ECCp-110. Excitement abound.
They state that 'The trousers, to be launched in the UK next year under Levi's Dockers brand, contain mobile phone pockets with "anti-radiation lining to prevent possible health risks".' I guess it's about time we protected 'the boys.'"
most of us geeks are already used to wearing pants that have "anti-copulation" lining, or so it seems
This is really interesting to browse. Quite a large undertaking. I did find one strange thing though. I saw this tablet where I could make out the following message: All your base are belong... then... indecipherable.
Sheesh, it seems like everything is dirtier than toilets nowadays...
Your kitchen cutting board has 200 times more fecal matter than the average toilet seat. Thats why I've started preparing all my meals in the bathroom, using the toilet seat for a cutting board instead (hey, its 200 times cleaner, right?)
Well, this article has convinced me. I'm going to dip my telephone in the toilet once a week for a good cleaning. No more germs for me.
using a combination of white LEDs, pedal generators and rechargable batteries.
Nothing innovative about this, the Professor was using pedal generators to power ALL KINDS OF THINGS while shipwrecked on Gilligan's Island back in the late 60s / early 70s.
As a fun experiment I replaced "Apple" with "Microsoft" and "OS X" with ".Net". The result shows just how hypocritical slashdot visitors are when it comes to Microsoft vs how much they praise Apple/Linux/Whoever for the same thing...
This makes huge sense for Microsoft: their future is.Net and the company has been saying this for some time. I'm glad they are making the cut now, still relatively early in.Net's life cycle. This will help push developers onto the new platform; in turn this is good for end users because the applications they need to run are more likely to appear on.Net.
And again it shows that Microsoft are able to make gutsey decisions and lead the market rather than follow it. Whatever you think of the relative merits of.Net vs. traditional COM applications, this is the kind of bleeding-edge decision making that Microsoft needs if it is to differentiate itself from the other platforms.
Hello.
I am the automated performance monitor for Google AdWords Select. My job is to keep average clickthrough rates at a high level, so that users can consistently count on AdWords ads to help them find products and services.
The last 1,000 ad impressions I served to your campaign(s) received fewer than five clicks. When I see results like this, I significantly reduce the rate at which I show the ads so you can make changes to improve performance.

I am the automated performance monitor for Slashdot. My job is to keep average moderation rates at a high level, so that users can consistently count on Slashdot to help them stay informed on "Stuff that matters."
The last 20 posts you made received a score of zero or lower, and by the way I noticed most of those said something to the effect of "FP" or "Furst PoZt".

So instead of writing secure software in the first place, now we will just give up and say, ok we know this software isn't going to be good enough to last very long, so we're going to timebomb it for you. How nice.
From my experience working in the computer lab, most of the clients who came in weren't very thin at all. Most of them were fat guys with bad haircuts.
Corporations always think they can track what I buy and then use something like the "recommendation engine" they talk about in the article to tell me what else I would like. Sure that seems like a helpful service but it really is a very selfish service, because it does nothing to expose me to new and interesting stuff, it simply herds me along with what 9 out of 10 other people watched after they watched what I just watched. The whole purpose is to get the most of my money the fastest way possible.
OK, so you might say, "you dont have to use the recommendation service". But you see that is not the problem. The problem is that they will eventually produce a much less diverse range of films, music, etc and focus in only on what the majority wants to see. They are already doing that today, but it will get worse with systems like these. Soon your local Blockbuster will not bother stocking your favorite cult film, if they haven't already. My problem with this is that it really homogenizes the population into a bunch of boring drones who are told what to like and what to think.
In addition, the MIPS Alliance Program (MAP) supports the availability of critical hardware and software such as 802.11, Bluetooth, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, audio algorithms, ATM, and others.
Well I think they got all the buzz-word technologies. If they didn't the "and others" should cover it.
If you already are using Windows 2000, just say, "I'm not going to spend $199 to upgrade to Windows XP when there are virtually no new features except for UI enhancements." Really, you can do anything on Win2000 that you can on WinXP.
Of course if you are running Linux you have already foiled product activation.
The real reason is that it takes alot of money in both storage and DBA costs to collect this data. It used to be worth it but with the current state of the economy, this kind of clickstream data is less sought after by advertisers and has pretty much become worthless information.
Sure they want you to think they are just being nice guys, but it is purely an economic decision I assure you.
In Tuesday's motion, the states also asked the judge to appoint a technical expert to help provide "impartial opinions on the complex, highly technical issues raised by the parties."
I hope they plan on having more than one expert to help them analyze the code. I think they underestimate how big of a job it will be. One of two things might happen, either they look at the code and say "we dont see why MS cant split the browser out", or they look at the code, freak out and just take Microsoft's word for it because they dont want to admit they lack the intellectual capacity to understand source code.
During the trial, the government accused Microsoft of using its Windows monopoly to snuff out competitors who make add-on "middleware" products, such as AOL Time Warner's Netscape Navigator browser.
Since when is a web browser considered middleware? This reporter must have been watching too many IBM commercials and wanted to use the new words he learned.

I wonder how long until we hear a story about some teenage kid trying to tip one of these over.
