For users accustomed to buying inexpensive hard drives, Apple's pricing on the Apple Drive Modules comes as a bit of a shock. An 80 GB SATA ADM costs $200 from Apple, and a 1 TB SATA ADM costs $450. In comparison, a bare 80 GB SATA drive can be purchased for a measly $35, and a 1 TB drive is only about $100. That would seem to point toward buying a new SATA drive and swapping it into the bad drive's ADM. However, when I started down that path, a number of problems arose, such that I bailed on a quick solution and simply purchased a new 80 GB SATA ADM to replace the bad one.
Start down that path of buying a drive? Who the hell (in IT, with server support as part of his job) doesn't have spare SATA drives lying around? Swap a a spare drive, if it works, use it or buy a fresh commodity drive.... if it doesn't, then buy from your vendor. Srsly, you are going to ask iMarkup whether buying cheap is compatible?
(The worst part is that Slashdotters believe they are experts in the history and sociology of religion if you wrap up a claim in sarcastic mumbo-jumbo. Look how many make authoritative assertions about the history of ideas when it's clear from their errors that they are just winging it.:-)
Man, I love how "Judeo-Christian" equates to "Christian" in these arguments. It makes us Jewish types feel so... present.
The conflation is philosophically and historically dumb, mildly offensive, and usually exists to serve American political, Christian ideological, and assimilationist and/or Jewish defense interests. Humorously, while many Jewish authorities would prohibit entry to icon laden churches (and resist even the aniconic), the most authoritative voice on the subject, Maimonidies, permits both praying and learning inside a Mosque.
Moreover, including the word "Tora" (usually transliterated as Torah) does not make you an expert, or grant your position meaning or value, especially since it is hardly the
de facto determinant of Jewish Law or "dogma," (were such a thing to exist) only a theoretical de jure one. To put it in terms you might understand - it's like hearing a Creationist decry the "genetics" of Darwinism (sic), without knowing what an allele is. Dangerously furthering the analogy: having read "The Bible," in whatever translation, makes you less of an expert on Judaism than a Creationist reader of The Origin of the Species is an expert on current evolutionary biology. Preaching to an eager Slashdot choir only may grant you +1, Insightful, but not insightfulness.
Regarding your point Torah - in the Pentateuchal sense - dictates have been removed from practice, to reflect need or reality, by its own community of followers - through an internal hermeneutic. I'm not speaking of modern incarnations of Judaism, born in the Western Enlightenment where equality is a value, but the main stream of Rabbinic Judaism where textual fealty and respect for older authority is paramount. A few notable examples -
You mean what if every person in each had to go to the same place to buy the same vegetable?
One or two floors of a building to support 2 million people per borough. Hmmm.
Wait, I know, lets develop a distribution system based on trucks and local rail to move it around the city.
Wait, I can use these trucks and local rail to move it in from (NJ/LI/Upstate) and cut my enormous rent/sell this valuable property and increase my profits.
Not only that, but from a real estate perspective, it makes no sense. If you build vertical space in Manhattan people or companies want to move in.
Apples don't give much of a good goddamn in which county they are grown. People care where they live.
If vertical farming makes sense (from an economic and agricultural perspective) do it... I don't know... maybe on farmland?

I actually commented on this a while back (not as a mass suggestion, but how I - personally - grab firefox on a new windows install). The funny thing is that it is clear you've never done this - or at least it has been too long since you have to adopt a Socratic attitude.

Another example: Star Trek has always followed the convention that space fleet officers have naval ranks. But they've always carefully avoided the dual use of the word "captain" that's standard in real world navies. (In English-speaking countries, "captain" refers both to a rank equivalent to an army Colonel and a commander of a vessel, regardless of rank. In one of my favorite naval historical novels, The Sand Pebbles, the Captain of the U.S.S. San Pablo is a Lieutenant J.G.) A small complexity, but apparently deemed beyond the capacity of TV audiences.
Very nerdy of me, but this is not so. The point was noted in an exchange between Nog and O'Brien in Season 6 of DS9, when LCDR Dax takes command of the Defiant. Of course, DS9, the most complex and mature of the Star Treks, seems to serve as a prototype for BSG; I don't find the attention to detail surprising. Similar attention is paid to (a curious relic of) the history of naval protocol in "Valiant". Guess who wrote that episode?
"It's an old naval tradition. Whoever's in command of a ship, regardless of rank, is referred to as 'captain.' "
"You mean if I had to take command, I would be called 'captain,' too?"
"Cadet, by the time you took command, there'd be nobody left to call you anything."
Additionally, an inmate declaring membership in a religious group sets the stage for affiliating with a "group" that might afford protection in prison. Also, I'm told that the halal food is better at Rikers. IIRC there are some benefits for prayer times. Just one example.
You are in prison - what are the advantages to going it alone? By declaring affiliation with a group, what have you lost?
FTP. No, not a solution for the average user, but on a fresh install of XP, I'll often just ftp Firefox (and then install noscript, abp, flashblock, etc. and restart) in order to download the other stuff I need to keep the computer in a relatively useful state.
Yes, I could use IE and go straight to mozilla.org, but off the bat, it loads msn.com and I have no desire to expose IE7 or worse, IE6, to the mercies of the scripts and ad providers on the page.
P.S. releases.mozilla.org is where you want to go.
when have these shows ever been for the bright? I remember watching one or two of these shows a few years back and it seemed like skriptkiddie 101 for stoner wiggers.
I want my stem cells the right way, derived from the tortured souls of aborted cherubic foetuses. Enough to fill the dancefloor atop the head of a pin.
The immortality of one can not be achieved but by the suffering of many. This is just dishonest.

Oh, and SATA vs SAS? HTH.

if one submarine turned to check its baffles and the other didn't maneuver out of the way, that could result in an angled head-on.
And not using its towed array... ?

Like the banner says, releases.mozilla.org.
Yup, you can get the proof by lighting it with a match. Do not try this at home or on Lake Erie.
I see; you are right. Now it seems perfectly feasible.
oh please, it's obvious this would never happen, as the FCC prohibits the use of ham bands to further commercial interests.*
*yes, i know. exceptions ruin the joke.

Cause the right-wing NY Times, covering a GAO report in the middle of '02, specifically disagrees with your "debunked myth" of damaged W keys.

Yeah, "valuable objects" stimulate me more than some guy's junk.
Mmm. Pretty things.
Be honest. You married that chick for her brother, didn't you?
Don't you know? It takes a minute for the tubes to warm up...
Look here, you're wrong.
