3ware Escalade 8506-8 is lagging far behind the competition. Moreover, it misses important features such as online capacity expansion, online RAID level migration and RAID 50 support.
Maybe I should dig out my old Trumpet Winsock dialup connect script that, instead of dialing the modem, showed an alert box with the decrypted saved password...
I use XP Pro, so there could be a difference, but when you click on the Sharing box under Pro, there's the option to share the folder, and then just below that there's a spot to "allow users to write to this folder" - and it's off by default. Home might be different, but I certainly hope it's not as different as you're claiming.
I was being... er... what's the word? Facetious, I think. I was going to say "stupid" oceans at first, but that sounded dumb. Then I was going to say "dumb oceans, but that sounded stupid.
Anyway. There are regions of ocean where the space could be considered wasted; granted, a lot of these areas are starting to recover (Bikini Atoll, for instance), but they don't exactly need a lot of sunlight, and they aren't hospitable yet for larger creatures...
We have all these wasteful oceans, why don't we just cover them with a patchwork of solar panels (to allow the sun to peek through)? A floating island of power-generation...
Great idea! And then they can tattoo it on your arm, and give you a fabric star from a set of different colours, indicating things like your religion, sexual preference, and IQ.
This reminds me of a recent situation I got involved in. The decision was in my favour, but the other party appealed and made the process as long and drawn out as possible.
And he still lost.
And he owes interest on the amount.
Classic. I hope something like that happens to SCO.:)
Well, it wasn't meant as a fair comparison. It was just me stating my opinion that, due to the fact that Windows uses a different 'paradigm' for drawing to the screen than does any X11 implementation, it is by its very nature more likely to appeal to those who eschew customizability in favour of simplicity, speed, and ease of use.
And I don't mean to say that X11 can't be fast, simple, and easy to use. But, in the past, I've had to hand-type Modelines. That left me unimpressed. And the customizability of the Window Managers, in my opinion, is somewhat of a disadvantage. Not only because of the command-line usage required, but because there's never any discussion of a nice GUI way to change things (like, a simple motif-based app to select your window manager from a list of installed ones, have it automatically write your.xsession or.xinitrc or whatever, and for gosh sakes, could there please be a unified menu format between all the window managers?)
The worst I've had to do in Windows is modify config.sys and autoexec.bat to free up enough memory to run certain things in Windows 3.1, and (occasionally) deal with outdated drivers impacting the system. For instance, my desktop can't go in to standby mode, because my video card is from 1998 - a Voodoo Banshee 16MB AGP with no decent WinXP drivers.
All I'm saying is that based on my opinions and preconceptions (some might say misconceptions), I still firmly believe that Linux (and FreeBSD) are more suited to the server environment than the desktop. That said, at work we are a 100% linux environment, and it works rather nicely - minor incompatibilities with external organizations aside. (Freakin' 'winmail.dat'. Grr!)
I'm not saying that Windows GUI is better than any WM on linux (although I could well be claiming so;-), I'm saying that - in my opinion - the Windows GDI and other features make it feel more responsive and cohesive than X feels.
Everything about X feels dishomogeneous to me. But, I do consider it usable and even neat for some things. I just prefer to program under Windows. Go figure. And no, I don't program *for* Windows (eww!), I program for the web.
Slashdot Mirror
Way to make me doubly-redundant :) I wanted to post A/C, but apparently my subnet has been abusing AC privileges lately so I'm not allowed to.
I guess that means someone in my neighborhood (near Mt Doug Park) is a slashdot troll.
Great! Now if only IE and Windows were out of beta, we'd be set.
Your nickname does tend to indicate that you might have some sort of bizarre attraction to magnetic media ...

Bah! There are too many Internets. We need to separate the Good Internets from the Bad Internets! Because they're Bad!
Did you just tell him to go and Teletubby himself?
Ouch. Burn.
You sniff boobies.
Who gives a flying F***!!!? ;-)
In fact, forget the TV ...
And the blackjack.
That's no portal -- it's a space station!
Government contact weighs specification on a scale.
:) I bet that's exactly what happens, too. Especially here in Canada :)
Hhahahahahaahh
You can do that in Windows, too. In WinXP, it's in \Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\.

Maybe I'll be able to do the first solo, naked, non-stop flight around the world, without refueling.

I said a patchwork. Like a quilt or a checkerboard. Black squares let the sun through. And we wouldn't need to cover the entire ocean ...

Uh, are you a ninja?

And a lollipop.
I think maybe they read the man page for wget. That's pretty damn sophistimacated. ;-)
