I stand above your simple name-calling insults, your lies and your false accusations.
Furthermore, I wasn't trolling you. Your journal reminded me of the typical journals I come across, hence I used it as an example, partially because I already had the link to it. If you insist on taking it as a personal insult and/or a troll though, be my guest. It's not like I give a damn.
I simply linked to it because I had the link. Why look for another journal when I already got a good example? No trolling or personal crap is involved in this; it's just a simple example of the current state of most journals/blogs.
See? Those Longhorn specs are quite easy to achieve... Now let's sit back and wait for Intel or AMD to come up with a 1x1x1m slab of silicon that can melt graphite and run Longhorn at the same time!
"Blogs"* have potential. Currently they are utterly disgusting because the whole thing regarding blogs and journals is ruined by boring people forcing their dull lives down our throats. Fortunately, the technology regarding journals is good and there have been some very good journals around. Now tell me, what's more interesting? A boring rand( 12, 50 ) year old (emo|goth|depressed) tosser from randomCity() ranting on about randomSubject() or having the creators of Google shed some light on the technical insides of Google? What about a journal where some people keep track of major (OS) projects? Gives one a view into what was considered during design, what was dropped, why it was dropped, what problems were encountered and so on. Even if you don't make your journals public, they'd make GREAT referrence material to improve oneself upon. After all, you learn the most from your own mistakes and if you can review the entire process instead of just the mistake itself, it ought to be more helpful.
*... Change of name please. Blogs will forever be stained by the stupidity that is currently infecting them. That, and whoever made that word up should be hung, shot, burned, quartered and then REALLY hurt.
Uh, we're talking about airplanes here? Unless you happen to drag around a 1m tower case everywhere you go, along with monitor, keyboard, mouse, generator, fuel for generator and wanking glove, ( We ARE talking about porn after all... ) then 6x 120gb HD is not an option... Maybe a stack of external cases, but they usually still require external adapters...
Or you could get 6x 2,5 inch casings which can run on USB power. Granted, it will burn a hole in your laptop battery and wallet at the same time. This is clearly a no-win situation...:(

4 to 6 ghz processor: I can see that happening in 2006.
Dual processor: No way. Dual proc mobos are quite pricey and don't dual proc systems require expensive registered RAM? Which brings us to...
2gb of RAM: Uh huh, not if prices evolve like they have the last two years. MAYBE 1 gb will be affordable around then. I'm not going to start on registered RAM...
1TB of storage: Maybe in 2006. Aren't we bound to hit the limit of HDs anytime soon, though?
Got a nice and clean door-like system. Very easy to clean, all parts are reachable and if they aren't, they are detachable so you can reach over and clean anyways. The whole system is lovely and when properly sealed up around the edges it's pretty much clean and not a biohazard.
For some reason, I massively enjoy manga-esque RPGs on my PC even though I have to put up with bad translations, shoddy console ports, storylines more linear and predictable than... something very... linear 'n predictable and plotholes big enough to fly a 747 through. It's just a certain kind of charm, rocking voice acting and cool drawn graphics. Don't need a bloody P5 6ghz, 2gb DDR PC5400 RAM with a nVidia Geforce X-treme 20k 512mb for that. Anything capable of rendering above 4096 colours would suffice, really.
Sadly, being both a PC gamers and European, I find myself severely limited in said games...:(
Ergo, they do have value to you - which means that you should pay for them.
However, there are games that I wouldn't pay for if I had to, not because I don't like the game, but because technically or content-wise the game is lacking. ( Hello cheapo-console ports, bad translations, lousy rip-offs. )
I'm not paying good money for a crap product that one might or might not enjoy.
So, I download questionable games and put up with the bugs. Good games ( Hello Bioware! ) usually end up being bought. After the hype dies and the price hike is dropped, thank you.
Also, what about games that are no longer being made?
Not only is it fun to retaliate on abusive players, it's also fun to get back at players who use annoying, stupid and or nonsensical rules. Or, players who are generally idiots.

Andrea receives a great prize of a web-hosting service for one year, 200 Mb of web space on a Linux server, with 50 IMAP/POP3 mailboxes (protected from virus and spam), unlimited aliases, one IP address, PHP/MySQL/PostGreSQL support, and the registration of an.it.com.net or.org domain name. The prize is donated by E4A, a Free Software based ISP that supports the OpenOffice.org community.
That's a nice price, sure. But for a girl who's prolly still in high school or maybe even elementary school?
Don't they have something which does the same on military jets for use on aircraft carriers? Most notably the F-14 Tomcat, flexible wings that can be pointed backwards for less drag/higher speed and turned to expose more wing area/increase lift/lower minimum speed required to avoid stall. Not to mention the space it saves when folded up.
Anyways, why? Aircraft are pretty specialized items, it's not like you can just pick a generic model and make it do whatever you want, how you want and where you want. As the article states, it could make a difference for aircraft with missions that involve changes in patterns. Surveillance is one, postal services in remote areas ( think Alaska ) might be one too. Perhaps for super-sonic passenger aircraft in the future? Almost surely not for current commercial liners, because there isn't much variety in a 747's flight path. Take off, fly somewhere the shortest way possible at optimal cruise speed, land. ( Preferably in one piece. )
Then again, if super-sonic passenger aircraft really do take off anytime soon... ( No pun intended. )

They forgot to put the quotes around "public beta"... Maybe it's one of those "public betas" that retail at around € 200 ... Hmmhmm...

These are the three secret ingredients to a relatively secure system. Read them. Learn them. Understand them.

Disable searches for "AXA" altogether.
That's what they all say.
