In a perfect society, yes. But these idiots will see low sales and say "SEE? PIRATE'S SAPPIN MAH SALES!" And then they'll use that to justify even more restrictive DRM in future launches.
So... in a totally imperfect society, that game with an even more restrictive DRM will see its sale tanked even more, and they will yell "SEE? EVEN MORE PIRATES'S SAPPIN MAH SALES!"... rinse... repeat... until there is a game no one would buy.

going from a windows server to OSX... I've done it with both webdav and samba, and samba was by far the superior method. I'm not sure why we didn't do it before. I think it had something to do with an update in 10.5 regarding only having to enter the password once rather then over and over again. Granted Webdav was more seemless, but it didn't do well with performance.
This is before the fact the as you mentioned you need to use samba to get the file to right to the database correctly. But this is theory as I can't say I've seen sharepoint in an office that has macs.
I don't have any problem suggesting sharepoint, As long as it's not somewhere I have to work. Technically it's designed to be a CMS for Office docs, which is what the poster is looking for. But god after going through designing one I'll never take a job again that requires me to admin it.
i think ghost/clonezilla is the way to go. you really shouldn't add extra layer's of complexity for no reason.
Do you really think switching to linux will fix your driver problems? The real solution is to use the same hardware across the network. I mean the having a a cd taped to the side of the case for machine specific drivers might be a little low tech but it prevents confusion.
Hmm... Then why are companies like Iron Mountain building out LARGE datacenters in caves?
(In most cases, former mines/quarries.)
1) Not caves large enough to drive vehicles in - many mines meet this criteria 2) Same answer as 1 for supplies, for 2 - in many cases they were already "built" for previous purposes (usually, getting valuable materials out of the ground) 3) Not if they're above the water table - many are. Iron Mountain's is, and apparently they're planning on using a nearby underground lake for cooling soon. 4) Not if built/designed correctly. 5) Iron Mountain and the like would prefer to disagree with you on that.
LAWL! I had to do the recovery on several tapes that were stored with iron mountain after katrina.
Exactly. The people who wrote the constitution understood that the government is the enemy. That is why they put so many restrictions on government. Unfortunately, all our technological advances in the past ~150 years has done an end run around the constitution.

Well by that standard, why are we a "free market economy" where as Cuba is not. They do have a thriving black market, and by your standards that would mean they have a thriving free market as well?
I have a handful of friends who adopted Intel's latest G2 X25-m models at their release. With new firmware, they are all still reporting notably reduced performance over time.

Um, You bought a MLC drive and are now complaining about drive wear? You bought a cheap product. If you would of bought an SLC you wouldn't have the same level of drive wear. I want to say the difference is a factor of 10.

Fine, Keep your money. But when the planet gets ready to explode, your grandkids are last in line on the spaceship
while there May be other earth like planets out there, how many can you count that have a diverse biosphere?

You can make an x86 chip reasonably small and very slow, or very large and very fast. x86 doesn't let you have it both ways to any reasonable degree.
Isn't that what ARM is for? Besides I want a Very Fast Machine with a huge heatsink.

Do you know how caves like this form? The dirt usually doesn't just magically disappear something has to take it away.

The free market includes the "black" market
Well by that standard, why are we a "free market economy" where as Cuba is not.
They do have a thriving black market, and by your standards that would mean they have a thriving free market as well?
And if they successfully legislate their survival?
Right, because making something illegal makes it immediately go away.
That's why no one smokes pot anymore since they banned it right?
Trouble is, cartels tend to work outside of the free market...
I would argue that the black market is more free then the free market.

next time get a X25-E.
I'd love to know how the X25-V's are shaping up.
