There! I claim it in the name of the third dupe!
So we've already had a dupe and a tripe, perhaps we call this...hmm, what's a good name for a fourth dupe?
As we all know, the more data on a drive, the heavier the unit. This was first demonstrated on the old "Maytag" style drives. The experiments demonstrated it wasn't so much the state of the bits, it was merely the data that increased the weight. Yes, a 1 bit can increase the weight of a single byte, but in the long run the effect is delta. You will *probably* have to worry when they start coming out with exobyte RAIDs, but who needs one of those?
If you are really concerned, you will have to make sure the driver is going to write all data evenly to a drive. FAT, naturally, is a non-option due to its fragmentous nature, so perhaps anotehr file system that doesn't require frequent defragmentation - EXT2, EXT3, JFS, or (God Forbid) OS/2's HPFS.
Well... you'll know it's a problem if they post the Internet Sweeper warning (you know, that device that deletes everything attached to the 'net during a given period of time?) here on/.
OK, here's my own answer on this. My opinions, but I gotta say it.
One should keep in mind that it's not copyright unto itself that is a problem. Unto itself, the copyright is a good thing. It's two things that make it a problem though - abusers (legitimate pirates) and the vocal minority (the {RI,MP}AA).
It's not a dupe of another article on Slashdot, but speaking logically, it's kind of redundant. We all kno that ICANN needs fresh blood, policies, ideas, ideals, morals, intelligence....
No, really. I sleep with my computers powered up and cased. It is possible to go to sleep to the tune of your computer case, it's a matter of acclimating yourself to the sound. I'd suggest giving it a weekend. Alternatively, move the computer away from your bedside and place the case under the desk.
I think the idea though is that the client is invariably faster than using a browser. You can't really do keystrokes through a web interface (which is fine for the room-temp IQ crowd), so if you get a specific client that allows the luser to just type this stuff in if they are so inclined, you're at an advantage. That, and you don't have to wait for the program to suck its interface off of a remote server and then parse it into usability every time you click on something.
One thing that would be very nice to see is some sort of list of financial institutions that this has been checked with and that compatibility can be assured. At the very least, at least the software compatibilities for the financial institutions' back ends.
Does your average linux user actually have any finances to manage?
Considering I'm supporting my family and using Linux (semi-unrelated), yes. This might be a good thing. Now if I can only get past the fact that the page has been slashdotted and NOT MIRRORED.....
Slashdot Mirror
The tagline for this movie? "Fight evil with evil"
...the day constipated monkeys fly out of my arse with curare-tipped wrought iron fence and no lubricants OR ex-lax!
The only thing is, in order to successfully slow it down, they would have to break that threshhold of 127 MPH that they recently did using rubies.
I thought that one could not be tried twice for the same thing. Maybe it's that I admittedly didn't read the article, but....
The reason this is funny is because Taco is known for duplicating posts on stories.
If you still can't grasp it, you will never understand.
The laundry machines where I live are possessed. They eat money.
Yes, but can it execute an infinite loop in under two seconds?
Dude, we don't want to give Taco any ideas!

Wow! Now the telcos can slow us that much more!

What is this, Soviet Russia?!
The Jargon file has an entry on BASIC. Quite frankly, I've not completely recovered.
That's one hell of a mushroom. Wonder if it's edible.
Hey, if they could do it in Third Rock, why not? Perhaps as an exhibit for the Doo-Dah parade....
Well, by the looks of it, unless the Canadian currency structure has recently been shifted to base 9, there should be no problem.

You are wise, young grasshopper.
