I don't get fed up with a lack of knowldege of users. That would be like a mechanic getting fed up with me when I bring my car in. I get sick of when users they pretend that they know things. Explain the symptoms to me, then I determine what the problem is.
Once teacher in high school had a problem and asked me to run the anti-virus scanner. I did, then told him it was done. He then explained to me that he couldn't print, and that was the real problem. I looked and the printer was out of ink. I told him to buy some more ink.
So somehow adding safety gear is a better analogy for installing Windows? WOW. Maybe an analogy is not what we need here.The truth is that you are talking about the same hardware, just running different software. It is so simple, any analogy just clutters the simplicity of the concept with no benefit.
It's more like you have a piece of hardware that can run two different programs and you want to switch between them.
You could get the same effect by putting those people in front of an OpenVMS IA64 system, no?
In the end, the interface of cars has changed a lot less than the interface of computers. The steering wheel, brake, gas and transmission is the same. You would have to get used to the lack of power steering just like you would have to get used to automatic braking. Every car has a different feel, and different quirks.
The basic interface has not changed, we have just added a lot of gadgets. Gadgets that break and are expensive to fix.
With a fully manual camera, you don't need batteries. You can take pictures until your hand falls off from rewinding film.
You need both film, and power for a digital camera.
KISS. A digital camera has all the complexities of an analog camera, plus a multitude more. For most situations, digital will be fine. If you want the best flexibility, reliability et cetera... I'll take the FM10.
Uhhhmmmmm.... I don't ever remember having to do that at all. Are you quite sure? I have only done a few installations, but our kickstart sets up GRUB by default, and all of them have booted. This is VMware 3-5.5 with RedHat/RHEL/Fedora.
Please post Host/Guest OS Details as well as the version of VMWare. Just kind of curious.
The more than 50 cases brought to date by the FTC, the Department of Justice, state Attorneys General, and ISPs demonstrate CAN-SPAM's enforcement efficacy.
Since when did a simple number demonstrate efficiency? They got 50 spammers.. out of how many? 500? 5000? 50,000? Who knows.
We eliminated the two major drug cartels in town. Great JOB! I'm sure that there won't be even more rising from their ashes, and maybe even a turf war.
There still is a need for SPAM, so spammers will still exist.
When I started working at my job, we had serveral servers that would reboot on a cron for the sole reason that someone was too lazy to figure out the problem. We eliminated all but one of these reboots, mainly because we don't care about the last one.
My holy grail would have to be strace/truss/tusk. I would take that tool over reboot any day. It doesn't always fix the problem, but at least you will know what it is, instead of rebooting like a coward.:-P
I don't think that $.45 is the normal cost of driving, or at least what people would consider when making a decision. They need to link in with Google Garage and Google Find Me Cheap Gas to get that right.
If they could add in taxi information, it would really rock.
I can't bring a camera to work, so this isn't a big deal to me at all. Considering how small flash drives are getting, and how much storage can be kept in phones/PDAs today, how does anyone expect this to work?
Someone has a PDA that can store 2 GB of data in a SD card. If they want, they can have as many of these as they need.
2.5" drives are very discret, and are normally powered by USB.
A simple alias or function can be helpfull in backing up a files. Where I work, we have the standard of:
cp filename.YYYYMMDD.username.X
So when backing up/etc/hosts use:
cp/etc/hosts{,.YYMMDD.un1xl0ser.1}
Where YYYYMMDD is obvious and X is used if there are multiple changes to the files. This helps us to keep track of changes easily. SCCS/CVS is another option, but kind of a pain to setup and get used to.
If you want, you can go as far as to make a function so you can just type "mkbackup/etc/hosts" or something similar. In the long run, this will save you time in tracking changes on your system.

Wow. I lost you at the $500 bra analogy.

Raid 5 requires at least 3 drives. Try a Raid 1 (Mirror) setup.
If I were to use that setup, I would put the OS on a CD-ROM.
Lots of the people using this would be putting this in their car, or running it off of batteries.
They probably don't ship with a transformer.

I know that one of Dell's 24" display is the same as Apple's studio display.
Is this the same technology as Apple's?
Mod this up, because the post above didn't know what they were talking about regarding surge protection and laptops.
You do not need a surge protector for your transformers, unless they are very precious to you.

Mirroring is not backup. I am probably not the first person to tell you that. :-)
It is a redundancy solution, if anything. I have the same setup on my g/f's computer. 2 Barracudas is all that I need.

Maybe for a PC, but never a server.

Don't give anyone access to USB/Bluetooth/WiFi.

Now if they would just would wire and finish the serial ports, and add POE ... nobody would ever buy Cisco's entperprise hardware.
Use a DNS server that doesn't have a bug. :-P

Seriously folks, this is silly.
A simple alias or function can be helpfull in backing up a files. Where I work, we have the standard of:
/etc/hosts use:
/etc/hosts{,.YYMMDD.un1xl0ser.1}
/etc/hosts" or something similar. In the long run, this will save you time in tracking changes on your system.
cp filename.YYYYMMDD.username.X
So when backing up
cp
