I know, seriously, how can there be bloopers aside from bad script readings? More like deleted scenes at most. Pixar just wanted to ensure Monsters Inc. ticket sales wouldnt drop off and that they might get people to go for an additional time.
Ok, so the files are basically going to have a wrapper and that makes them a NAP file? No funky encryption?
Just me or does this scream "Hack me! Hack me!".
It's a neat idea, but far too late. Napster has lost a good portion of their user base and it will be difficult to reclaim it now with all the GNUtella clients and other P2P apps out there.
Everyone here seems to be screaming $5000 - $10000 for an HDTV...
You don't NEED to get a 50"+ set. There's a 27" Samsung Dynaflat that's under $1000. I'd rather get a Sony personally, but they don't exist under 30" yet.
Calm down, it's not that expensive. Last year a friend of mine bought a Sony WEGA XBR 34" for about $2400. Non-HDTV. The HDTV version is out now for how much? $2600. Is 8% markup that much? No.
It's not THAT expensive if you look around and have a normal sized tube and it's coming down quickly. Look at DVD players. Bought my parents a nice Sony that does 5.1 among other things for $200. A few years ago I'm sure that was nearly $1000. It's coming down. I say if you have cash and need a new TV (my 25" mid 80's Panasonic has about had it) this will be the year to go get one.
I'm actually at home... on the VPN. Working on not one, but TWO partner websites. Due the 1st. Ayep.
And this morning? Went in and installed a brand new switch chassis, by myself. Nearly broke my hand when it slipped while I was trying to install it in the rack. But it's installed and running.

The backups are tested monthly with a full system restore on a test server in the lab.
However in the exchange incident, it couldn't mount the stores we pulled from backups after checking for consistency and attempting repairs.
The backups were fine, as was tested on another server. Exchange was just having problems -- It couldn't mount ANY store, not just our backups.
In the case of the Linux box we were restoring, just fine and dandy. We knew however if we could get an answer instead, we could get things back up and running then, and not wait for things to be pulled off of tape. 200GB at 40GB/hour is 5 hours. By calling IBM we were able to stop restoring and get things back running immediately, saving 4 1/2 hours. Granted we were restoring things as they needed to be (by importance), but it was still going to take time.
You problably don't even know how to maintain a runbook. Dipshit.
A few weeks ago the Exchange 2000 server decided it was going to roll over and die and to corrupt the mailbox stores with it. We tried restoring (which took 30 minutes to pull off of tape) but it was a no go. When the system state backups didn't fly, we realized we might need to rebuild the server from scratch...
Instead of wasting 2 hours pulling off a stock Win2K Server image and reconfiguring everything, MS support actually referenced a few obscure cases and we had it resolved in about 25 minutes.
A few months before a power surge sporked out a rackmount running Samba on Linux 2.4.x. Fsck laughed at us and we had a LOT of data to pull off too. It was going to take about 3 hours to restore the data from tapes. So we gave IBM a call while we were restoring. Only took about 20 or so minutes to get an answer and back up and running.
Verdict? I don't see any problem with Linux support as long as you have a contract of sorts. I wouldn't dare leave big messes or small disasters to usenet or forums -- for ANY OS. That's fine for configuration quirks, or trying something new on a test server, but when something needs to be fixed and you've tried everything in the run book, you need someone you can rely on.
And for the record, with the exception of a burp each, both the Linux and Windows 2000 servers are humming along without a problem. I have no real preference -- they each do their job and do it well.
Back in October at an expo the Intel guys did say this chipset was indeed hitting in Jan/Feb. But they're also looking to bring a 533MHz FSB using 166MHz DDR by June.
Today my Dell Inspiron 8100 came in. PIII 1GHz-M, 384M memory, 30G disk, 8X DVD, 15.1" Super XGA+ screen that does 1440x1050, and a 32M DDR GeForce 2 Go.
I thought I was king of the world. So I throw it on my LAN and go to slashdot...
... to see the upcoming GeForce3 Go be announced.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!! It's not fair!;*(

That's a fusion splicer. And operation is very simple nowadays. More or less automated.
The fiber ends are fused together with an arc of electricity that superheats the fiber, melding them together. The whole alignment process is automated. Today these range from $16000 to $50000.
Seikoh-Giken makes them, though I think that division is now owned by JDS Uniphase. Alcoa-Fujikura is another one I can think of as well. Sure there's more.
Modal or spectral dispersion? I'm assuming they're using singlemode fiber, so it's likely spectral dispersion, for those who wonder (and lazy to read the article).
The planes hit on the 60th and 90th floors. I'm not a building engineer, but we can all safely say its a GOOD thing they didnt hit on the 30th to 45th floor. Not only many more would've been trapped, but the buildings would've likely collapsed almost immediately, and would've collapsed horizontally, not vertically.
Next big target? Boston. Give this until the Big Dig continues. Some of these tunnels run under MAJOR sections of the city and LARGE bodies of water. God forbid a few people simultaneously detonate truck bombs in those tunnels.
Based on someone's posting of $1200 for a character with 912 hours invested, that's about $1.31 an hour.
GemStone IIIs Silver coins have an 'exchange rate' of $20 per million on eBay. To earn $1.31 in GemStone III you'd need to earn 65,500 silver an hour, or equivelant (item trades), which is entirely possible, if not more.
Maybe I should spin off this guy's study and do my own. I've always wanted to be featured on Slashdot.;)
It seems to be growing at about 70% an hour, but it is slowly leveling off. Anyone care to do the Calculus and plot the curve?
I'm going to put the number of infections at 6 - 8 PM a 250,000 - 450,000 hosts just by running some rough numbers in my head and taking into account whether or not pathces where applied. Thats a lot...

First, glorified RC cars are not a bad thing. I wish my REGULAR car was as ludicrous as my Nitro RC, and I have a shiny new sports car as it is. 1.2 bhp on the dyno for something that weighs about 1.15 kg. Talk about power to weight ratios! Plus a full PCS system including a working 3rd channel for making needle valve adjustments on the fly, tunable modulated hard braking (ABS), etc. This car has nearly as many tuning options as a real race car. With proper gearing and a 2-speed transmission this thing can get to 60 as quickly as most sports cars. Top speed is about 70 (gear-limited).
I think people on battlebots are just too cheap sometimes to drop in a $250 all digital 3-channel control system. In my opinion, its damn worth it.

"I would hope if he vetoes it, we don't have a tragedy like... Columbine, because then he can take some responsibility," she said.
Now that alone is pretty well... sad. That's like vetoing a bill that outlaws gambling and saying "I'm poor! I gambled all my money because I have a problem! You didn't prevent me from gambling so this is all your fault!"
Oh, and let's not forget this:
"I hope he reconsiders," said Harp, a mother of three children. "I don't think he understands the bill. It is not just a violence bill. These are games that train people to kill."
I see. And by that token Flight SImulators make me a pilot, SimCity makes me a qualified mayor, and Transport Tycoon has made me a millionaire. Oh, and Black and White makes me GOD.
You heard her. I am GOD. Now bow before me before my sheep poos on you and I fling you across the state!

I agree, 802.11a/b, and other wireless mediums aren't much better. And yes, the trouble isn't finding a jack out of sight in an office building...
But this one is ridiculously easy. Almost as bad as dealing with an 802.11 cloud.
Im sure no business would ever even consider this. Think of the security implications.
You don't even need to find an open rj-45 jack on the raceway. Just an electrical outlet. Aren't those every 6 feet?
You could get on the network from an obscure maintenance room hidden from view...

That's about $1.31 an hour. People working the fields in Nigeria probably would LOVE to have that sort of wage.
They could make $3000 a year off of that with a 45 hour work week. In countries where $500/yr is common, that's living well.
