  2. Re:More than scientific learning on LHC Success! · · Score: 1
    You wont now, but you will in a few million years.

    The (last) "big bang" was actually only the result of a similar LHC being turned on millions of years ago.

    The universe is actually just in an infinite loop.

  4. Re:CD Hook-on Files on Storage System for Thousands of CDs and DVDs? · · Score: 1
    at 85$ per 100 CDs, this gets very expensive, very fast.

    The concept though, is what we have implemented here for ca. 20'000 CDs for a lot cheaper
    A LEGAL size hanging folder will store 6 CDs pretty nicely. A special hole-punch cuts an inversed V-notch on one side of the folder. Hang CDs on the V-notch, file the nahging folder in a filing cabinet.
    With 2 horizontal filing cabinets (LEGAL size depth) which are 6 feet wide and three shelves high, we have about 10'000 CDs per filing cabinet.

    Major advantage: can be moved easily. Remoting 10'000 CDs offsite is as easy as getting a dolly and lifting the filing cabinet ;-)

    Cost was about 100$ for the special hole-punch, the filing cabinets we routinely "inherit" from early morning raids into the legal dept ;-)
    A couple of $/hr for the intern(student) doing the hole-punching and filing ;-)

    some people's interrupt routines for phone calls are very short just because of this.

  7. Re:bad idea on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1
    easy: worms.
    If you look at the latest worms going around, you can count between 41 and 77kb per message. Let's split the difference and assume 60Kb per message.

    906MB == 927744Kb => 15462 messages.
    for a GMail account opened in May2004, that's 7 months @ 3865/month
    3865/30 = 129messages/day

    I am currently (on my super-secret shadow account i never give anyone) averaging 40/day.

    Give your GMail address away freely to the wrong (infected) contact(s), and you're smoked (regardless of WHAT you're smoking)

  17. perspective? on Linux Most Attacked Server? · · Score: 1
    as usual, those are just numbers, and numbers mean NOTHING without perspective.

    a self-respecting "survey" would at *least* put the numbers found against a total server population to form a RATIO comparison.

    same goes for many of us i think... i've seen it repeatedly also, but keep having arguments with friends about fienr details, stuff that you don't necessarily notice when watching... in that case, getting a bootleg just to ffwd to the scene is no big deal imo.
    Sort of like an index... even though the index to many books is made readily available online, i still buy the book to read it.
